another - lutefisk - norwegian cod fish I believe. Stinks to high heaven
and is somewhat rubbery... yuck.

Cod that's been fermented, hence the stink. Worse than a fish boil that's
for sure, but not by much. A fish boil is a bunch of fish and vegetables
boiled together all day in a very large pot and then dumped on newspapers.
Not quite like they do in the east & south since at least they know how to
use spices.

Zucchini are packed with calories. You can eat them
and become quite fat!

Not quite true. According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, one
cup,
raw, sliced (113g) has 18 calories. One cup slices boiled (who would do
that to a poor zucchini?) is 28 calories. I'd have to try pretty hard to
get fat on them.

Can you tell it's one of my favorite veggies? :-)

Summer squashes are much lower in calories than winter ones and I always ate
lots of zucchini though I doubt it was the root cause of my weight problem.
I love my acorn squash and I don't care if it's 82 cal/cup of cooked
This week I delve into spaghetti squash.

I'll add three of the more horrific ones I've encountered:

Canned meat - Spam, Clik, and any derivative thereof.

Ugh, Spam. I can't believe people can eat that stuff.

Sadly, a can of same, belonging to George is haunting my cabinet.
However... if it doesn't disappear soon, I may be inclined to
disappear it in the garbage can.



chili cheese fries (it makes my mouth slimy to THINK about those)

Then you wouldn't like poutine - french fries, drenched in gravy with
cheese curds melting on the top.

Apparently, a popular choice of the French. A artery stopper for the restr
of us.


Oh my gosh... that sounds really revolting. I've never been horribly
big on french fries, but that may have turned me off for life.

They often have lutefisk and meatball dinners up here at the churches
in North Dakota.

Seems counterproductive to converting anyone... George describes
lutefisk, which he HAS been brave enough to try, as "smelly fish jello
with bones".

I think I'll pass.

Can anyone top Melissa's contribution, below?

Deep fried chocolate-filled croissants. Apparently, there are such things in
Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Although, the last time I went skiing there, I didn't
notice them and wouldn't have tried one even if I did.

I agree on the spam - we were made to eat it at school but I've never
had it since.
For me the all time most disgusting food is black pudding. Closely
followed by sushi, which I guess puts me in the minority as for some
reason I can't figure a lot of people seem to like it.

sounds like an absurd list. carrots and apples and strawberries pack a
lot of calories.

Zucchini are packed with calories. You can eat them
and become quite fat!

The above are all things I eat without restriction, and they've never
stopped me losing weight. They're all healthy foods with few calories
- I don't understand the reference to zucchini (courgettes as we call
them) unless they're fried in butter, of course.

I hate to admit this, but I like scrapple...sliced thin, fried and served
with ketchup with eggs for breakfast. Haven't had it in years...my
mother's
family is from Pennsylvania Dutch country and we always used to have it
at
my grandmother's along with shoo fly pie which is truly wonderful.
However, the same culture that invented these two wonders also loves
something which does have my vote for the worst food ever...souse. I
don't
even know if I spelled it right...but it is some kind of clear gelatin
into
which is molded all sorts of gross organ meats, red somethings (peppers
or
pimentos) and I think onion and cabbage. It just makes me ill thinking
of
it. I used to get so grossed out as a kid watching the adults chow down
on
it. I don't even know if it is high fat/low calorie or what...it is just
gross. Elise

We had scrapple when I was a kid, too. Mother always fried it and we
topped it with syrup. It was never one of my favorites but I ate it. I
have to agree with you on the souse. That stuff ranked right up there with
pickled pigs feet, cracklings and limburger cheese. I've ate all of them
except the limburger cheese (aka stinky German cheese). My dad loved this
stuff and I couldn't stand the smell of it. Another dish my mother made
was scrambled eggs and brains. It's another food item I've never tasted.
Just the site of these things frying in the skillet was enough to send me
running to the back porch gagging. Now that I think about it - my parents
ate some strange thingsg

sausage gravy over biscuits (please don't make me describe it!)

I don't need you to: my mother makes it and my husband, to my horror,
loves it, so she makes it every time we go to visit. He knows better
than
to try this one at home.

scrapple (stuff swept off the butcher's floor mixed with cornmeal,
formed
into loaves, sliced and fried--often served with maple syrup)

OMG, that's just horrible!

head cheese (I didn't ask, didn't WANT to know)

This one I know: I don't think it ought to be legal after the discovery
of
prions.

blood bologna

Sometimes you've just got to give people credit for ingenuity fostered
by
hunger. For example, I look at lobsters and wonder, "who was hungry
enough to try to eat this the first time?"
