I told Tim the next time he opened a tin of sardines I was willing to taste one.
He just issued the challenge.
I broke off a chunk, put it in my mouth, and could easily have spit that thing across the house. I forced myself to chew and swallow it, but never again.
Oh, the humanity.
Blech!!!! I am right there with you, Becky!!
Do you eat sushi?
Nope! My fishy tastes are limited to mahi mahi, tilapia and good ol’ catfish.
Yep, the blander ones. My preferences, too. Though I will eat tuna (NEVER HOT!), salmon, and swordfish, too. And I love shrimp and crab cakes or deviled crab.
Sardines are of the devil. It says so in Gregory 4:23.
Marika’s the one who cans those things?!?
Her evil knows no bounds.
So I see.
EW!
you’re braver than i would be – willing to taste? crazy. chewing AND swallowing? INSANE.
What’s the most daring/weird food you ever ate?
oh, nothing too weird. jen said i should try some raw sushi, so i did. i didn’t hate it, but i don’t want it again.
is that the weirdest you’ve eaten?
I’ve eaten alligator and snails. Haven’t tried snake yet. Oh, and I like squid (as long as it’s battered and fried). I don’t think I could try octopus though.
you are a brave, brave woman…
Next step? Survivor!
It does seem to have something of a weight-loss plan built in to it. However, I don’t think they’d move all the water challenges to a giant swimming pool for me.
I think the wise and wonderful Lucy van Pelt said it best when she exclaimed, “Oh, good grief!”
Wise and wonderful… I like that…
obviously you have never tasted a pickle herring – sardines are for amatuers
I’m planning to taste herring and mackerel, too. I already know I can tolerate anchovies as long as they’re ground up in a salad. I’ll taste most any food once.
Eww!! I’m not willing to taste one ever. I just don’t get on with seafood.
I want to like more fish. It’s just so…fishy.
Exactly!!! It seems like such a healthy thing to eat, and it’d be great to have a whole new range of food options… but it’s so disgustingly fishy. If I buy fish I always ask the person serving me if it has a fishy taste cos if it does it’ll kill me.
