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 can't think of anything I wouldn't try at least once. I've eaten some really strange things in my life, liver, heart, snails, caviar, octopus, kangaroo, to name a few of the odd ones.

I guess if something smelled completely horrible, I wouldn't put it in my mouth. I just can't think of anything specifically. I'll try just about anything at least once.

Edit: As long as it is no longer moving or alive.

I had to throw that in there, just in case.

One of the girls I work with is very slim, yet with the appetite of a trucker. My favorite story about her? She came into the lab, looked at the leftovers of one person's lunch, said "What's that? It smells like feet." When offered it? She took it, and ate it all.

*laughs*

I still tease her about it.
