i freely admit i am no 'foodie'. i dun cook and never will. A ham sandwich is fine with me. If i want s'thing fancy to eat, i order it off a menu.
Even so, some foods should simply not exist. Top of my list of really, really gross food is grits. My time down south was marred by my exposure to grits, even in conversation.
They just make my skin crawl.
Does any food have this kind of effect on Y/you?

Grits? You would pay extra for it if the menu said 'polenta' [;)]
Even in the South many places can't do grits properly...as Snuffy Smith once complained, "The soup is gritty, and the grits is soupy..."
My food hard limits are things pickled... if it isn't a Kosher dill, I don't want it.
I've tried all sorts, from relish to chow-chow to chutney, to pickallilly, to borscht...never have develope a taste for the sickly sweet/sour.
Other than that, bring on the gator tail, the curried goat, the menudo, the squid, the beef tongue slices, the abalone, the gizzards, the smoked eel, the liver pate', the okra, the oysters, the kimchi, the ginger chickens feet, you name it.
