Oh, No Thank You. I Will Pass.

Just because I am The Food Whore does not mean that I like all foods. There are a lot of things out there that I have no desire to eat. I will cook anything. But eating - that's a different set of rules.

It really all comes down to personal preference, dietary choice, and a little bit of the gross factor, depending on the dish.

I am not fond of duck. I find it to be a bit "gamey" and don't enjoy the overall taste.

I feel the same way about venison. Plus I can't, in good concious, eat Bambi's mother or father.

Liver is a no-go. For numerous reasons. Do I need to mention this is the organ of the body that purifies blood?

I stopped eating crab when at a friend's beach house a dead body washed up and a crab crawled out of the corpse's mouth.

I am fussy about my seafood in general. The fish has to be fresh caught and have a name I can pronounce. And I don't care to get involved in some of the things they cook on Iron Chef.

I will eat calimari. Good calimari. But one tentacle hits my mouth and all bets are off.

The Jamaican friend likes goat. I can't do goat. Goat's milk, yes. Goat cheese, oh for the Love of God, yes. But goat meat - no. No.

Unless I am stranded in the remote jungles and it's me or the snake - no snake.

No hopping creatures like bunnies or frogs. It's a morale issue. One brings me eggs at
Easter, one is in love with Miss Piggy - it's too much guilt. And if I wanted something that "tastes like chicken" , I will eat chicken.

Crocodiles belong on shoes or handbags, not my plate.

Bugs are to be squashed by my shoe or in the case of spiders, sucked up by my vaccuum or bravely killed by The Husband. They don't make tasty snacks.

Squab - what's the point?

This was brought on by a lunch meeting. I cook them and I serve them and we have amazing ones in our area - but oysters - at glance, look like a great big wad of snot in a shell.

"Can I interest you in a freshly schucked snot wad on the half shell? Oh, no thank you, I will pass."
