Most of the stuff you guys have mentioned is weird stuff to me...wildest I've gotten with the food was at an wine festival over at the coast, they served us little snips of wine with "shark" meat on crackers. It hat an grainy taste in texture to me and kin dof bland otherwise. It takes someone that really knows how to cook seafood to make it taste exceptional most of the time, and no..I don't like raw oysters either... they remind me of gooey nose snot. Old time dog food in an can use to make me want to barf just opening it up also...stuff these days smells and looks more appealing, but I know what it really is..everything "left-over" they can't use otherwise. Yuck!  My animals have a lot of stuff just like we do from the table.  Doctor/Vet put them on Lamb and Rice dry dog food mixed with a little cottage cheese daily.

Ok. Diana: I refuse to try pickled pigs feet.yuck!! My (real) dad used to eat these in front of us at meals. I would take our cereal boxes of cereal and stack them infront of me so I didn' t have to see him. Debbie: I like reg. milk and cornbread. I can drink about 3oz. of buttermilk, & I'm good for a long, long while. Pickled pigs tail, ewwe gross!! And yes I am a southern gal. sorry I draw the line, on somethngs. Krissy: I don't like liver either. I really don't like grape jelly. (My 1st ex-hus. this is the only jelly he would,(yes,I said would) "let" me buy.I still prefer other jellies. I ate it off & on for 2 1/2 years. I "love (Soft)(not real crunchy)pork rinds. I just try to not really think about it, I continueily tell myself it's a potato chip. My favorite, is the salt & vinegar pork rinds. I can't somach them all the time. Jason: What is Marmite? I have never heard of this. What is a Bakewell tart? Kernowphile: I hate ordering a omlete from a restaurant, and the white to be a little runney, I get real nautious. Cathy I have never heard "Pickled Cockles" what are they. Well, I mean, what kind of animal is it from? Sea gull?? Maybe not but i do agree that it looks like an upside down sea gull. Babs & Jason, what is a marzipan. What are some of the ingredients?

Cockles are one of my favourite foods.  I often go down the shore and get myself a bucket full.  I even cook them myself.  Pork scratchings are just heavenly, but even better is the pork fat you cook yourself.

I love beans, cornbread, and salsa. Grits, oatmeal, my list could nearly be endless, on foods that I like, but this is about food that we don't like, hmm.... so let me see?...I don't like liver, bologna,(made to eat it to much as a kid), allergic to jalepeno's, (I can eat the pickled ones though they aren't as hot), I will think of more later. I'm sorry right now I'm to sleepy to focus. I keep falling asleep will trying to think of I don't like. Good night all it's 2:20 am. I can't focus anymore.lols.

I guess its because we are an island race that we eat a lot of fresh fish and seafood, however that is perhaps only about 5% of what we eat. we are able to grow most of our own veg and most fruits although as they are seasonal we do bring them in by road from our warmer european neighbours. We farm our own meat (beef, Lamb, pigs, poultry etc) and they are exellent quality, reared under top standard controlled conditions.Any short falls we can and do import, however the quality isnt uasual as good as our home grown. Almost every town has at least 1 'A' list Superstore so getting hold of international food isnt a problem.

As I said in a previuos post I think some of the war-time American GI's went back home after the war with the wrong idea, we were on wartime rations then and were limited to what we ate. If you cant cook yourself to gourmet standards in the UK theres at least a couple of Gordom Ramsey style Mitchelin Star chefs in every town.
