Writer's Block: Ewww

What is one food that you refuse to try? Why?

Actually, this is that damned LJ meme from the homepage. But I thought I'd do it.

Insects. Pretty much any kind. Although I did try snails once, when my best friend & SO ganged up on me. And when they asked me how it was?

"It was a snail."

"Yeah, but how was it?"

"It was a snail. I ate a snail..."

I couldn't get past it.

What about you?

ETA: Ummm... is a snail an insect? I just thought of it as exotic, like caviar... but insects?!? Christ, I'm a idiot, I don't know, even though I had zoology (light years ago). I might puke, 3 years after the fact...

I love everything, but not ham (bacon/back ribs/chops etc OK). Don't know why the aversion, but there is is. Can ignore it if sufficiently masked, but still.

I love all animal, pretty much, exotics too, except maybe frog legs (although those were the ones my gramma gigged in the backyard, and might have been over cooked)...

And I hope it's not an insect... mi_nion says it's a mollusk, like clams...
