Question of the day - Thursday 7 January

[GemsGem]

Hey everyone

Todays question is about food ....
How many points do you get ?

I get 3 points
I guess I’m not too picky

 

[BellaGooch]

I got one point.. snails is where I draw the line

 

[verna davies]

22. I didn't realise I was so fussy.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

3; but one is something I had an allergic reaction to before. I've had everything on the list. I can think of several other( things that should have made the list. (Like okra for example.) But of this; only liver and eggplant are true dislikes.

 

[Lari]

8.

I can't believe nutella is on there. Food of the gods. And it shouldn't count if it's an allergy.

 

[Willowy]

I don't know. I think I'll eat almost anything if it's in the right recipe. I don't usually like shrimp, but if done right I might make an exception. I can't really think of a reason I'd want to eat snails, but if they were done the right way, who knows? I'd try it at least. Those are a solid "it depends".

All of my hard pass foods aren't on there. Things like sheep's eyes or pig's brains or maggot-infested cheese, etc.
(Yep, maggot cheese is a thing! Casu Marzu, look it up.)

 

[gilmargl]

I've tried most things on the list and, if it's prepared well or not a cheap manufactured product I will eat it - but coconut, snails, Nutella, peanut butter and oysters are just not appetizing under any circumstances!

 

[Silver Crazy]

I got 12..but have an allergy with most seafood and end up looking like Mr Potato head with hives.
But Brussel Sprouts..worst thing inflicted on mankind.

Ewwwww! I'm a cheese fanatic, but I'd draw the line at that, too!

I will take your word for it, though, and not look it up.

 

[Katie M]

A whopping 14.

 

[Tik cat's mum]

11 for me.

 

[Tobermory]

Four are nevers for me. There are two or three other things on the list that I avoid, but I would—and have—eaten them to be polite when I was with people I didn’t know well.

 

[Willowy]

But Brussel Sprouts..worst thing inflicted on mankind.

If you haven't tried them in a while, give them another chance (preferably roasted with garlic and balsamic. .. yum!). They've been bred to taste better now, I guess before that Brussels sprouts tasted terrible. My mom didn't like them so I never tried them as a kid, I've only started eating them in the past few years so I don't know what they were like before.

 

[Whenallhellbreakslose]

Let's see...
Liver, Pickles, Crab, Beets, Raw Fish, Oyster, Olives, and Snails. That would be -8 points. I guess I am kind of picky. The thought of eating snails is just too gross for me. Escargo--heck No!

 

[denice]

10

 

[muffy]

I'm vegetarian. The things I would not eat are eggs and the meat and seafood listed. That totals 13.

 

[susanm9006]

Seventeen for me. Yes, a picky eater.

 

[aliceneko]

19, partly because I'm a vegetarian, so a lot of the meat and fish was off the list.

 

[neely]

I'm vegetarian.

Ditto. I totaled 20, most because I'm also vegetarian and several I prefer not to eat.

 

[betsygee]

Vegetarian here, too. 14 for me. All the meats and fish, plus eggplant and.... RAISINS!
