Top Fives

[curgoth]

You all know the deal by now.

Comment and I'll give you a topic for either a top five or a top ten.

mylostmarbles gave me this one; " five foods you wouldn't eat even if you were paid to."



I went directly to Steve don't eat it for this one. Most of the more obscure foods are there.

Morally speaking, my usual limit is sapience - I will not eat anything that can ask me not to. That said, the following are all beyond my gag limit.

1. White vinegar. The smell makes me retch. I think drinking it straight would cause projectile vomitting.


2. Natto. Sorry, fermented soybean semen is off the menu.


3. Cuitlacoche. Rotten fungus infected corn? No thank you!


4. Silkworm Pupas, or any other tinned insect in sauce. I might eat a chocolate covered ant, but runny, snot-like larvae? No!


5. Reproductive organs. I am not interested in a big mouthful of bull penis when the bull is alive, I am no more interested when the bull is dead.

An honourable mention goes out to brains and eyeballs. Yes, I would rather eat an eyeball than drink vinegar straight.

How am I supposed to ignore a straight line like that?

You know, all the times I've imagined you saying that to me were very different.

Okay, now that I got that out of my system - you didn't specify, so you get to pick;

I'll take 5.

On the subject of white vinegar. Fencers are terrible people. Swiss chalet, and a table of exhausted, masochistic athletes. New game: vinegar demons! I totally foiled them but they wouldn't let me get away with it.

Top five favourite monsters (interpret that word however you like)

Ayiyi. That's a really good list. Other than the vinegar (which I used to drink straight, as a child; see also the juice from the pickle jar, which was made into martinis at my house one time less long ago than you might like to think) they pretty much squash my immediate thought of "oo, I'd put avocados" into the ground wailing and covering its ears.

I will drink all your vinegar for you, though, if an urgent need ever comes up. In the meantime, top five me?

All my vinegar are belong to you.

Hoe do you feel about food that's been pickled in white vinegar?

[curgoth]

I can handle pickled jalapenos because the heat obscures the vinegar taste. Though now that I think on it, I'm not sure if they're usually pickled in brine or vinegar. Your standard pickled cucumber, though, will send me to the other end of the room. In general, pickled food is as bad as vinegar on its own.
