I will not eat an over ripe banana, nor will I eat shrimp. What's your food UN-fave? |

I have done it. But don't trust raw eggs anymore. |

My father used to eat raw eggs, even if they were broken in the carton he'd just pick it up and swallow it. He grew up with hard times in a rural environment, was a WW2 vet, and had a varied life but his raw egg eating made me gag, he died at 93. I will eat eggs that have a semi-soft yolk but the whites have to be cooked, lately my eggs have been hard boiled or scrambled. I don't trust raw eggs, these days they are mass produced with chickens never seeing the outside, in a cramped and caged environment. |

The mention of ants reminds me of an interesting experience at university residence. My roommate was a very Canadian Chinese guy from Edson. He wanted to explore his Chinese heritage a bit and bought a can of ants to share with visitors to our room. They weren’t bad but not good enough to make me buy any. There are few foods I dislike but I’m not very adventurous. |

Cannot imagine making egg-nog with hard boiled eggs. Yecchhh. Eggs over light for us...30 seconds on the second side. Poached: 3 minutes for large. 3:30 for Jumbo. I want runny yolks and fully firmed whites, although I tolerate a little wetness to my poached eggs. I use raw egg white in whisky sours mostly for Bob...he likes "girly" drinks. (We do at least a dozen eggs a week, sometimes 18.) Edited by Trotsky, Mar 18 2018, 06:32 AM.

I have never eaten a raw egg and never will. I am not a fan of tuna and do not eat it. |

Pork Belly. Not that I know what it is, just that it’s showing up on menus and it sounds unappealing. I’m don’t want to eat raw food - meats, oysters. |

I ordered pork belly in hot chili sauce: it is pretty much very thick undercooked bacon. Not terrible but pretty fatty. I think once was enough. <I reserve bacon only for my Carbonara.> Edited by Trotsky, Apr 27 2018, 02:13 AM.

Raw oysters? I love them, but they make me nervous since I gave myself a case of hepatitis A from eating clams that I harvested at Fire Island myself. That Summer the Island had a sewage leak into the bay. I wonder if I have immunity to HepA as a result? |

Once you've had Hep A, you are immune for life. Hepatitis A is a viral disease that affects the liver. Anyone can be infected with hepatitis A if they have direct contact with food, drinks or objects contaminated by the faeces (poo) of an infected person. There have also been outbreaks associated with eating contaminated shellfish and among particular groups, including people who inject illegal drugs and men who have sex with men. Hepatitis A is also common in developing countries where hygiene standards are poor. Symptoms may last for several weeks, but full recovery usually occurs. A single infection of hepatitis A does lead to lifelong immunity. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/hepatitis-a |

Thank you DT, that is a terrific relief. Send my waiter over with a dozen blue points, please. (I guess that about $35 these days. :badcold5qz ) I had a short case of Hep A but peeing black and shitting white is scary stuff. I walked by a hot dog stand and threw up in the street from the greasy smell. Lost 30 pounds, couldn't hold down any food except 2 scrambled eggs each morning. I looked TERRIFIC at 174 pounds... except for the yellow eyes. Edited by Trotsky, Apr 27 2018, 04:13 AM.

No runny eggs, even though my grandmother taught me to dip my toast in the "dippy"! In a restaurant, I always have a problem when they ask if I want my eggs soft, medium, or hard. I don't like hard (as in over cooked), so I say medium well. |
