I've never eaten Squash before, but I don't think I want to.

Winter squashes (Acorn, etc...) are flipping fantastic.

Summer squashes (Zucchini, Crookneck, Pattypan, etc...) are excrescent and as repulsive a veg as I can imagine.

game meats...omg....I can't do that either, or oysters nope

WAT?!?!?!? I live for wild game. SO much more flavorful and healthy that most (but not all) commercially raised animals.

Perhaps you've just never had it prepared right?

We agree on oysters. Ate them once, almost died, and it turns out I'm allergic to iodine.

:shock:

I can't imagine doing without zucchini.

Have you ever had it properly fried like in Greek restaurants (with lemon & skordalia)?

My moms gumbo is my favorite food. I could eat that stuff everyday for every meal for the rest of my life no doubt. I haven't had it years now though. :(

As for the question, what is considered common food? Would lamb be considered common food? If so, I have never had it.

Greetings, Henrin. :2wave:

I've never eaten lamb, either, or rabbit. Maybe I watched too many Disney movies as a kid? :mrgreen:

Where can you even find rabbit? Do they even sell that in stores?

Oh, sure. You can cover it up until it's boring, you can fry it like the Greeks or at a county fair, stuff it with cheese (my addiction) or Italian meat stuffing, whatever.

It takes away the disgusting nature of it, but then what's the point? It's vile taste is simply blanketed by other, more righteous things.

IT'S A TRAP!

Pork... and believe it or not... COFFEE.

You've never tried a coffee flavored candy or coffee ice cream?

It would give you a good idea of what to expect.

Side note: I just stopped drinking coffee one day several years ago. The flavor is nice (I liked it black), but it just never did a thing for me.

My wife would die w/out it.

Hah - fair enough!

How about eggplant? <-- Chomsky listed his next goto veggie after zucchini
 
I used to hate Salmon, because it made me nauseated it was so oily but now I like it. Human bodies are so weird.

I've eaten rack of lamb on rare occasions.
I feel a little bad when I do.
It's the "lamb" part that gets me.
Grown-up lambs meat is called "mutton" I think.
Sounds a little chewy to me.

or rabbit.

I ordered half a rabbit somewhere, years ago.
Scrawny little creature. Not much to it.
Never again.

Probably.......I don't eat venison because of the "Bambi" connection.

I HATED THAT CRAP as a kid. One of those 'You'll stay at this table until you eat that!" foods.

As an adult? No problems at all. It's not amazing (unless it's prepared Japanese style), but it's nice.

Extremely versatile food. I'll give it a 7+

Never had coffee flavored candy. Had coffee flavored ice cream a couple of times. I used to drink massive amounts of soda. I believed that drinking coffee would be like giving injectable heroin to Vicodin addict, so I avoided it. Nowadays, I just think the obsession with designer coffee is annoying.
