Bleurgh

[rebness]

There was an extremely lulzy Guardian blog today about foods that turn your stomach. I don't mean the general aversion to broccoli and sprouts (the latter of which I adore), but those everyday foods that make you gag and spit and hack. I particularly like the fierce debate on the gruesomeness of cucumbers.

The food that makes me hack would be those evil yellow things, bananas. They're just so long and sweet and mushy. They're prevalent in everything! It's quite sad. And salted peanuts. They're like [cens0red for my lovely patchworkgirl_ ] bullets.

Which seemingly innocent foods make you want to hurl? Why? Entertain me. :p

I've never been somebody who's fussy and says "I don't eat ______" but ugh, watermelon is gross.

The most disgusting, but not (thank you!) everyday (for Westerners) food I've sampled is durian. Bar non.

What an ugly fruit!

Not only is durian ugly, it is REPULSIVE. It's the only fruit, vegie or non-animal product I've ever eaten that reminds me of rotten meat. Or maybe rotten brains. It's bad, that's for sure. One taste is enough to last a lifetime. And yet it's very common and popular in some parts of the world, like Vietnam. Although restaurants that serve it are sometimes required (kid you not) to have a special ventilation system to deal with the smell. The. Most. Vile.
