Reply #34: In the U.S., liver [View All]

[Lydia Leftcoast]

I also hate Roquefort and other blue cheeses, Brie, capers, and anything smoked that ISN'T meat. Do not present me with smoky pea soup, smoked cheese, or smoked fish.

My mom used to serve liver, and we kids always groaned and complained. Her excuse was always, "Well, I have to use it up."
:crazy:

In Japan, I couldn't stand kazunoko, which is crunchy herring eggs and has an intensely bitter taste; niboshi, which is crunchy little silver whole fish, about half an inch long, salted, sold in plastic bags, and eaten like potato chips; and natto, which is euphemistically referred to as "fermented" soy beans. It looks like baked beans, is sticky, and tastes like a garbage can smells.
