I was living in Rhode Island and saw a cooking show with a delicious looking recipe using prosciutto. As I tell this, you have to know that I believe I was the only person in the entire state with a Southern accent. I went to the deli counter and asked for prosciutto. The man behind the counter made me repeat it a few times and went into the back and brought two other people out and told me to tell them what I wanted. I guess I said it funny. Anyway, I'll try just about anything...with the exception of snails.

I wont eat insects. I know stuff like chocolate covered bees are supposed to be a delicacy, but they're not for me. On the other hand, I cannot imagine life without sushi or calamari or sun dried tomatos or many other of the foods that people don't like. To each his own. Although, being Jewish I also enjoy Gefilte fish and matzoh, so I accept the fact that my tastes are warped!

I grew up with a mother and grandmother who appreciated "nature's way".
My grandmother taught me to collect periwinkles on our salt water beach, boil them, and twirl them out with a pin. The large ones taste like escargot. I guess winkles are a big deal in England. She also taught me to collect dulce, which is really seaweed. I saw dulce sold at Publix, mega pricey! My mother used to pick mushrooms in the Forest, I guess she must have attended Mushrooms 101 because she never poisoned us. She also used to gather things like dandelion greens. I grew up loving vegetables because she convinced me they were yummy. Thanks Mom!

I'm probably one of the world's pickiest eaters. I'm definitely a meat and potatoes type of person. That being said, there's not much I haven't eaten -- most of it as a child at embassy dinners. This includes sheep eye soup, chilled monkey brains, calamari fixed every way imaginable, marsupials galore (and, yes, opossum is yucky -- so is porcupine) and so on and so forth. And I truly LOVE sushi!
You can't pay me to eat okra (too slimy) or creamed spinach. Not a fan of cabbage in almost all of its forms. Lima beans do not pass my lips. Nor does haggis or anything else that consists of stomach linings and the like. Don't like kidneys but love liver. Don't like any type of meat/vegetable pie (pies should be sweet and fruity). Of the esoteric foods I'd recommend folks try sushi (go with a friend who can gently steer you to the easy stuff at first); calamari; insects (they really are tasty and crunchy, especially dipped in chocolate); frog legs and snake (both taste a lot like chicken).

Kitty, we had a liver & onions dinner with a group of TOTVers last spring, at Toojays. 16 or 17 people, although some were non-liver-eating spouses. They have liver and chicken livers dinners at Toojays. Do a search for liver & you'll see the places other people recommended for liver. There is at least one liver club in TV.

Has it ever occurred to anyone besides me that lobsters are a lot like enormous insects that live in the sea? Think about it. And I love lobster.

raw clams, oysters, figs, (unless fig newtons count) gator tail, squid, deer, rabbit. Some foods it is a mind set deal. Just the thought of eating it turns me off.
