I do my best to try everything... if it's being offered as food, chances are someone thinks it's good. So I'll give it a shot...

That isn't to say that there's thins I won't eat ever again. Just not a fan of cobra's blood and beer shooters... the bubbles tickle a bit too much. Same with boiled bull's penis - the texture was all wrong. I think roasted would have been better.

I have eaten everything in Larousse Gastronomique 1962 edition. Doesn't mean I'll do it again.

Maybe i'm missing a joke in here somewhere, but i didn't think cholesterol had even been invented when Groucho was alive? [:-]

Eggplant- Just plain worthless nutritionaly

Orange Juice - Always tastes sour to me, and besides theres other ways I get my C and calcium and theyre a shitload better.

Anything bready that comes in a wrapper - it just seems....wrong.


If eggplant were worthless nutritionally, I guess this chart would have no information on it ...

And yet, I'm quoting from his book.

According to these two sources, http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/micro/gallery/cholesterol/cholesterol.html and http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=71757, cholesterol was first discovered in 1769, but was not named until 1818, when it was rediscovered.

...and regarding common knowledge of its effects:


VOLUME 12, NUMBER 12 • DECEMBER 15, 2000
In memoriam: Edward H. Ahrens Jr.

Edward H. Ahrens Jr., professor emeritus at The Rockefeller University and a pioneer in early research on lipids and cholesterol metabolism, died Sat., Dec. 9. He was 85.

Ahrens's studies contributed important information toward a better understanding of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hormonal disorders and obesity. In the early 1950s, he was the first to perform careful dietary studies, using formula diets, to test the effects of different types of fats on cholesterol levels, and his laboratory provided definitive confirmation that the kind of fats we eat can alter the level of cholesterol in our blood.

His primary interest in later years was the relationship of cholesterol metabolism to the genesis of coronary heart disease.

Groucho Marx passed in 1977.

And, yes, I think you are missing the joke part.

Termyn8or -> RE: Do not eat list (9/16/2007 9:56:06 AM)

Youse guys have an uncanny way of bringing out the wierdo in me.

Yes, I admit it, I completely forgot to put lightbulbs and paper clips on the list, but funny you should mention it. Years ago I had a dream that I busted up a TV picture tube and was eating it. I took that to mean my body was telling me I needed more phosphorous. I found out what foods were high in phosphorous and ate them, and then the dearms ceased.

And without looking into the link, I was told by my Parent(s) that when margarine forst came out the butter lobby made it illegal for them to color it. It was nasty gray looking shit and they gave you the color packet with it. In fact, the reason it is yellower than butter is because it starts out gray. Yuk.

And someone said aything with hydriogen in it, that is not what I meant. I meant artificially hydrogenated. This causes some nasty reactions. Same with aspartame, it passed the FDA but once it is in the body in breaks down into some fairly poisonous shit.

And the asparagus hater, try frying fresh asparagus in butter with a bit of garlic and onion powder, that's the only way I'll eat it.

You do need some carbs, and rice is the best choice. I can't stand plain rice. My Father has a way of spicing it up though that makes it very pallatable.

Last night I made a hot-n-spicy chicken stirfry. Mainly chicken, carrots and celery. Heavily spiced with white pepper, thyme and celery seed with of course the usual garlic and onion powder. Juice slightly thickened and literally about two tablespoons of pasta. I keep the pasts down now, but it just seemed to belong in there this time.

Actually low carbs doesn't mean no carbs, but you can see that my plate of spagetti will have ALOT of meat on it and very little spagetti. When I make a sandwich I always slice the bread very thin. On the occasions I make pizza the crust is thin.

There is a distinction between what you need and what you do not need. You need some carbs, more if you are highly active. You absolutely don't need sugar, table salt, hydrogenated products or papertclips or lightbulbs. Actually I think the lightbulbs would be healthier to eat than refined sugar.

I remember Elaine Boozler's one routine. "Our juice has no cholesterol, heck, MY CAR has no cholesterol !". Speaking of which, I don't eat Buicks.

And those silica packets shipped with numerous electronic devices and the like, DO NOT eat them, because they have pretty much the same thing they put in table salt which makes it poisonous. If it weren't for the anti clumping agent in table salt it would be OK. The shit prevents normal metabolism of the sodium, which fools researchers into thinking that sodium is the culprit when it comes to hypertension. The same properties that make the anti clumping agent work do this. And believe it or not, a deficiency of PROPERLY METABOLISED sodium can can lead to guess what - hypertension. Challenge me on this and I will cite the source. I believe it is in my FTP space but I''ll have to go look and get the proper URL.

Anyway, one said something like "It would be easier to list what I will eat". I am getting there. Even drinking, one day I was at a store, but we were on a construction job so no beer, yet. Of course we burned one on the way back to the site, but the store literally had nothing for me to drink. I refuse to pay their ridiculous price for a bottle of water, and they didn't have any unsweetened iced tea. Funny, I didn't sweat as much that day. (it was hot)

That's the thing, to be diligent in avoiding certain things, you have to aware of other product which contain the offensive substance. Some people will avoid sugar, not eat candy, sweetcakes, cupcakes and all that, but then slake down a two liter of Pepsi. That defeats the purpose. When you make that concious decision, it is not the easiest thing in the world to stick with. That day, I went thirsty. These days I would just get beer.

One of my good friends kids, at their Bday party their Mom asked "Terminator, you want a piece of cake ?" and her Husband replied "You couldn't get him to eat a piece of cake at gunpoint". And that is true, as well as a true story. Yes they call me Terminator.

Realize how long it has been since I had cake, candy, icecream, soda, koolaid, all of it. Somewhere around a decade. But I got used to it. I can now smell the sugar in a cup of coffee. There was a big pallet of two liters of Pepsi at the store, I could literally smell the sugar. I believe the material they make the bottles out of is not porous, so what I was probably smelling was the residue from the air where it was bottled.

MissMagnolia -> RE: Do not eat list (9/16/2007 6:00:45 PM)

OK, I know I'll regret this, but what are chicken gizzards? I'm puking already[:'(]




chellekitty -> RE: Do not eat list (9/16/2007 8:53:58 PM)

chicken gizzards are the part of the chicken that holds whatever it is that helps a chicken grind up the grain it eats....barf....

oh and i don't think someone "invented" cholesterol....i'm guessing that was more of a discovery...




KMsAngel -> RE: Do not eat list (9/16/2007 9:15:40 PM)

The gizzards of poultry are a popular food throughout the world. Grilled chicken gizzards are sold as street food in South Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Haiti, and throughout Southeast Asia. Stewed gizzards are eaten as a snack in Portugal, while pickled turkey gizzards are a traditional food in some parts of the Midwestern United States. In Hungary it is of course made with paprika. In the Southern United States, the gizzard is typically served fried, sometimes eaten with hot or honey mustard, or added to crawfish boil along with crawfish sauce. In Chicago, gizzard is battered, deep fried and served with fries and sauce. Gizzard and mashed potato is a popular food in many European countries. In France, especially the Dordogne region, gizzards are eaten in the traditional Perigordian Salad, along with walnuts, croutons and lettuce.

In Yiddish, gizzards are referred to as "pipik'lach", literally meaning navels. The gizzards of kosher species of birds have a green or yellowish membrane lining the inside, which must be peeled off before cooking, as it lends a very bitter taste to the food. In traditional Eastern European Jewish cuisine, the gizzards, necks, and feet of chickens were often cooked together, although not the liver, which per Kosher law must be broiled.

Giblets consist of the heart, liver and gizzard of a bird, and are often eaten themselves or used as the basis for a soup or stock.

[edit]


so to be 100% correct, i eat the giblets. and i'm by far, not alone. deal




sapphirepleasure -> RE: Do not eat list (9/16/2007 9:58:53 PM)

No artificial sweeteners of any kind, and no peppers of any variety--definitely not jalapeno but not even bell peppers of any color.  (That's just cuz I don't like the taste.)  And nothing that's extremely spicy either.




HotFaerieMama -> RE: Do not eat list (9/16/2007 10:10:23 PM)

I can safely and unequivocally agree with this!   [:D]

As for Termyn8or's list of things not to eat, I hope everyone adds him to that list of what not to eat, because he doesn't sound even a little fun, eliminating anything that might taste good from your diet permanently.
Living to be >100 is grossly overrated, especially if it entails being pissed off all the time for being hungry, or eating crappy food.
Moderation is where it's at folks, and I ain't saying I follow that doctrine always.   I don't mind living on the edge some days.   And yes I've worked long enough and paid enough taxes to cover my healthcare for years to come should I need it.

Ummmm... you seem to feel I was joking. I wasn't.

Some highlight "squick" animals in Larousse: squirrel, rat, dog, camel, dormouse, snakes & reptiles, a number of insects. At one point in my life, I felt obligated to explore what someone felt was "good food." Combine with learning to forage and I've put lots of scary shit into my mouth... some of it was actually pretty good.

The only thing I find myself unable to handle is aspartame and sucralose: splenda and nutrasweet give me a "take me to the ER - I'm fuckin' dyin' here" headache...

As to bull penis, specifically - it's part of what's in those non-kosher hotdogs...
