Chef Jim Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I wonder how it would come out with a broth instesd of just salt water.... Not for me, it needs to be neutral in flavor. I love the taste of brussels sprouts believe it or not so I don't want to alter that flavor.

Jim in Anchorage Posted April 6, 2010 Author Posted April 6, 2010 Liver, kidney. Blurgh, I don't care how good they are supposed to be for me. Marmite/Vegemite. Farmed mushrooms. The wild ones I pick myself are awesome (no, I'm not referring to the magical variety). Ones you get in shops are so bland. Zucchini Mild cheeses. What is the point? Salmon. Like just about every other fish going but Salmon, for some reason, I hate. Processed foods generally I find pretty awful, give me fresh ingredients every day in almost every case. Cider. Why do part skim/low fat cheeses even exist? It ruins the texture. If you want less fat,just don't buy cheese. Same with milk. The 2% tastes like colored water.
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I'm amazed at how often mushrooms and olives have been mentioned here. Having children... One realizes it is all about "texture" when it comes to certain foods. The likes and dislikes are determined early in live with regard to these "textures." Having children has given me a lot of insights on reasons why I dislike certain foods. So basically... It is very mental. Not to get me on the Asian carp thing... Look how Americans view carp against how the rest of the world (especially China) views that fish. Salmon can be just as boney. Carp: Booming WORLD business There may finally be a solution to the Asian carp problem in Illinois -- ship them back where they came from. The fish that are considered a threat to our Great Lakes ecosystem and a projectile danger to any boater, are actually considered a delicacy in China. Pearl, Illinois company Big River Fish is planning to ship 30 million pounds of the invasive species to China this year. "We've had groups in China taste it. They came here and ate it, and say it's the best carp they've ever had," owner Ross Harano said. Apparently the rivers in China are too polluted to grow quality carp, so the Illinois fish will be sold at a premium to high-end Chinese restaurants.Big River Fish expects to make around $20 million per year exporting the carp, and the demand could grow, Harano says. Right now, there's an estimated 100 million pounds of the fish in the Illinois River, so it begs the question, will this be the end of the Asian carp invasion? At a small business forum Monday in Chicago, Sen. Dick Durbin said he approved of the company's plans. "It turns out the Chinese were very impressed with the quality of our Asian carp. I hope they're impressed enough to take them all home," Durbin said. The first shipment goes out Friday.
Wooderson Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 you mean the fruit that goes great with strawberries???? kiwis are great. i have never heard or read of anyone not liking a kiwi. oh well. I'm allergic. Pretty much the only reason.

BB27 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Can't believe this hasn't been said yet. . . . . . Rettata! I like everything else.
Chef Jim Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Can't believe this hasn't been said yet. . . . . . Rettata! I like everything else. Oh Rettata is excellent. The whole problem with it is it doesn't take an hour to prepare. Mmmmm pickle juice.
Cornerville Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Oh Rettata is excellent. The whole problem with it is it doesn't take an hour to prepare. Mmmmm pickle juice.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Will somebody tell me what retatta is? I see it constantly mentioned, but I guess it was before my time here.
stuckincincy Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Will somebody tell me what retatta is? I see it constantly mentioned, but I guess it was before my time here. IIRC, pickle juice and Kraft macaroni boiled in a pan, then fried up in the same pan. This or that spice added to taste.
BB27 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 IIRC, pickle juice and Kraft macaroni boiled in a pan, then fried up in the same pan. This or that spice added to taste. You should have just made him a batch and sent it to him for his enjoyment.

Jim in Anchorage Posted April 6, 2010 Author Posted April 6, 2010 I just can't believe how many people don't like raw tomatoes. Give me a salt shaker and I will eat a bushel.

Mr Info Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 SOUR CREAM = SOOOOO GOOD how can anyone hate it... I used to like sour cream and then I entered a 'belly buster' contest at a Muckdogs game in Batavia last summer when I traveled home. The 6th inning surprise was a 16 oz plastic cup of sour cream. I finished it by the third out but it was tough. That item knocked out 2 competitors - one ralphed and the other couldn't finish it in time. I started out well but when I got about 2/3 through, the consistency started making it unpalatable. I can eat a little bit now but I didn't want to eat any for a while. I apologize for the hijack but a few other items we had to eat: Can of kidney beans (drink liquid as well) 1/2 cup of garlic cloves covered in chocolate can of tuna (drink liquid as well - this almost got me as I made a tactical error and drank the liquid first) ice cream covered with whipped cream and anchovies veggie burger with baby food peas covering the burger
