tastes KINDA like chicken...only kinda more...rubbery. I didnt know what it was until I'd gotten a few bites of it down. At least it wasn't lamb balls though.

Fortunately I've never had the misfortune to eat either of these.

I agree MARMITE is revolting (it's a British thing) VEGEMITE (the Oz/NZ thing) is miles better

Alive creepy crawley things would probably freak me out, you know witchy grubs and the like, but hey, I like most stuff, but then I haven't gone exotic animaly much

Brandon...why are you coming to Manchester? Seems an odd place to visit, are you on holiday in the UK?

Hiya! I have plans to come to Manc-land in the fall (Sept or Oct--not sure yet). My friend Chris Handley lives there (he was one of my flatmates in NZ) and I've never been to the UK...so why not eh?

Even back when I was a carnivore, I could never get myself to eat tuna from a can. Even if mixed with mayo and celery and onions by my mother's expert hands. The smell could have me running out of the house for fresh air.

I have an aversion to 'Circus Peanuts' candy, that you find in bags on the lowest shelf of the candy aisle in the grocery store. I ate one once when I was about 12, and the nausea haunted me the entire day until finally I was able to puke in the evening. I felt worlds better after that, and vowed not only would I never eat a circus peanut again, I would never handle them either or even think about them.

Circus Peanuts are pure, concentrated Evil.

Blood sausage is on mine too, we were served it in Kenya but I wouldn't eat it. Ew. I'm not very picky but I don't like certain textures. I'm not crazy about roasted red peppers if they are long because I might as well be eating a worm, which I can't eat. Ew. I don't like water chestnuts unless they are finely chopped in something. And I don't like cooked celery, yuck.

Hey ..sounds great, always nice to be invited somewhere different. I found Manchester actually quite agreeable...all the big brand shops, and theyv'e got trams, and done up the old paper mill there into a movie theatre/restaurants..I was quite impressed, worth a looksee.Hopefully the weather at that time of year will be ok too, not too rainy...or is that Liverpool? Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I like pork pie and sausage rolls... but I would never touch black pudding!

I'm with you Pip... The pork pie and sausage rolls are pretty good actually, if you like that sorta stuff.. but I'm not a black pudding girl either! YUCK.. Also, the mere thought of Haggis creeps me out too... ewwww... I can't handle sheep's intestines.. or actually the insides of anything living gives me the heebie - geebies.. ROTFL

Yeah Brandon it is worth getting to see either Manchester United or City play whilst you're in town. There is a link on their websites for overseas visitors - the icon comes up when the site recognises the US browser. There isn't anything in the world like the atmosphere at a top Premiership football match - you really want to try and experience that.

I gotta say, not only would I eat the majority of stuff people are listing here, I LIKE the majority of stuff people are listing here! There's not a green vegetable I wouldn't eat and the only one I even come close to disliking is okra, but it's not so bad I couldn't get it down.

I really think my only issues would come with eating anything moldy or curdled, anything that's part of an animals stomach/intenstines/heart or anything that's has fur/legs/is still alive.
