I'd have to agree -- well, I like shrimp, but I would rather not be acutely aware of every crunching tendon and... little shrimpy bits.
And now, The List. There actually aren't many foods that totally
disgust me, but here we goooooo.
1. Mangos -- okay, actually these don't really belong here, as I like them in smoothies and juice. But the fruit itself. There's just something
wrong about it, man. I mean, the texture. It's like a hybrid of every fruit there is, which sounds like it would be awesome, but it's
not awesome.
2. Corn dogs -- Just.
Corn dogs.
3. Mushrooms -- I want to like these. I mean, Mario does, and I respect his taste. But I just can't. Which is odd, because I liked them on pizza as a little kid. I was a weird kid, though.
4. Lobster -- I'm not entirely sure why restaurants insist on plunking an entire freakish trilobitesque Paleozoic beetle fish thing in front of you on a plate, but this practice needs to stop. There is probably no animal whose intact form I would less like to think about while trying to eat one than that of a lobster. Now it doesn't matter if they taste good or not. I have had lobsters ruined for me by lobsters themselves.
5. Eggplant -- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
6. Coffee -- Not really a food, but it's BITTER LIKE PESTICIDES HOW CAN YOU DRINK THIS. I prefer to ingest my caffeine in soda or candy form.
7. Licorice -- I only like fruity licorice, which is not licorice at all. Licorice really seems to be an acquired taste or something, because people either think it's the best thing ever or violently hate it.
I love avocados though. On toast (maybe a California thing), in sammiches, in salads... they have to be ripe, though. Unripe avocados are nasty.
