Fafaru, a Tahitian dish.

You leave slices of fresh fish in clean seawater for three days. As the fish rottens, the seawater gets full of bacteria.

You throw away the fish.

You then marinate another fish in the rotten seawater.

Then you eat the fish.

What's it taste like?

I never tasted it. My views on seafood are almost like Jessica's, if not as extreme.

Those who like it say that if you manage to overlook the smell, when you do taste it, you get an after-taste that is salty, slightly bitter, and unique, an acquired taste.

I don't think I'd ever manage to, or want to, get past the putrid smell.

I'm vegetarian, so I won't eat meat unless my life depended on it. I don't really have much of a reason not to eat it. It's kind of a mixture between moral/tradition (my father's a vegetarian)/health. Morally, the meat industry contributes to deforestation, defishing of the sea (don't even try to dispute that fish is not meat), and it is one of largest pollutants in the world. Perhaps also animals may inhabit the world with us, but this is so overused and its a complete cliche. Health-wise, red meat is unhealthy for the individual (lamb, for example, puts strain on the liver). Say I was trapped on Expat's island, and there was no tofu or cheese-making equipment, I'd catch chickens and pigs, and eat them. They're all healthy. So I guess I have a problem with red meat (tastes like blood). We also clearly were never meant to eat something like a blowfish.

The other foods I despise are nut roast, parsnips, okra, palm hearts and artichokes. Other than that, I can pretty much eat anything.

Most foods gross me out. I really can't stand Pizza Hut's pizzas or other chain stores pizzas. Most of them taste like crap, it's like eating wet soggy papers or cardboards. Ok, so they taste ok and are edible, but still they taste like crap. Plus there's too much oil in them, gross.

ew, this reminds me of my friend who lived in iceland for a while. he ate all sorts of things that i find repulsive.

like this

i don't understand the point of even bothering with preparing something that smells so strongly of piss that you have to make sure no neighbors are upwind of where you are preparing it.

Pizza hut is the best! I wonder why i only have tastebuds for the worst foods imaginable.

[Birds]

It's because you suck! jk I thought Delta's had the most elitist tastebuds (aristocratic Si ).

[Creepy-bg]

Pizza Hut is elite.

[Birds]

No, that shit is nasty...

I once chewed a candle thinking it was a piece of rock (i.e. the confectionery kind).

didn't stop me from putting a giant spoon of mayonnaise in my mouth and swallowing it when I was 5...

Well... at that age I think I tried Crisco, thinking it might taste like icing. And also tasted the cocoa butter stick in the bathroom medicine cabinet (it smelled delightful)... don't think really kicks in til late teens, actually.
