It doesn't seem like a very filling dish in any case. Perhaps if they were filled with cream cheese?
I have seen pigs' ears for sale at the butcher but I haven't been tempted yet.

Everything on the list with the exception of liver works for me. We have a friend who doesn't like anything in the broccoli family. Early on, we had them over for dinner and I had rapini for the veggie. I now know why he didn't eat it.! i have a wonderful recipe for brussel sprouts. I will post in the food thread. It really makes them very tender and you wouldn't know they were brussel sprouts.

Tips for the hostess: alternate cream cheese stuffed celery and bunny ears, attractively arranged, on your Thanksgiving sideboard.

Sounds more like an Easter treat to me. For Thanksgiving, I would go with perhaps a bouquet of turkey heads in a vase as the centerpiece.

Why on earth would anyone hate blueberries? I suspect that once again, this refers to people who have only eaten mushy frozen or otherwise processed berries. Or perhaps big cultured ones. Tiny bog blueberries are extraordinary. I fear that the only contact that a lot of people have had with blueberries are the artificial things in industrial muffins and perhaps that awful paste inside Kelogg's Pop Tarts and similar items. My blueberry bush finally got tall enough that the dog can't reach them all ;D

I suspect many of the people that were polled never had the fresh equivalent of many of the foods listed as Lagatta suggested. Blueberries,wild or cultivated I could take or leave. Don't hate them though. The Hong Kong Market sells a whole pig's head ready for consumption. I nibbled on an ear,it was very crispy and tasted like a pork rind you can get at the convenient store in a bag.

I admit I love taco salads and yellow mustard. Not that I don't appreciate other mustards, but I also agree that yellow mustard has its place. And though I love taco salads, I admit it's quite preposterous how Taco Bell puts shredded lettuce in some of their burritos which is completely soggy by the time you eat it.
I also admit that I absolutely love Taco Bell. Just hold the lettuce.

When I was pregnant with my first daughter I couldn't pass Taco Bell practically without whipping in and ordering 2 tostadas with green sauce. They were 79 cents at the time. I retain a residual fondness for them, and will sometimes stop at Taco Bell when on the road.
There used to be a chain joint in Columbia MO called Taco Tico. Now THERE were some tostadas. There was another one in I think Abilene KS, and I would sometimes choose that route when driving from MO to NM to snag some fast food Taco Tico style.

I heard so many horror stories from my husband and the kitchens he went into when he worked as a Paramedic for the city.A large majority of them were fast food places (I won't repeat the Taco Bell one)but there were also some 4 star ones that were pretty horrendous too.

You could always reread something like Down and Out in Paris and London. I used to know a guy who worked at a Jack in the Box who told tales of something they called the Floorburger.

When I was a kid in California tacos at Taco Bell were 19 cents each. I haven't had a Taco Hell taco in years but I do occasionally go to a local fast food taco place called Taco Time and it ain't bad really for a 5 buck lunch.

In an effort to keep this thread from delving into a Health Inspector's nightmare, I will segue into my taco story which includes a food I hate.
There is a place in my neighborhood that makes fantastic and cheap tacos. The ingredients are fresh and not overly processed and there are a multitude of choices for the main filling. I have had fish tacos, made with cod, prickley pear cactus tacos as well as the standard carne asade or pork (flaky good pork, too). But what I love most about these tacos (and tacos is all they do), is that instead of shredded lettuce, they use shredded cabbage.
I do not like cabbage.
Except on tacos, it seems. Shredded cabbage is so crisp and flavorful. And crunchy. And flavorful. Did I say flavorful already? ;D

I should have clarified in my food confession that I virutally never eat the beef at taco bell. My obession is with bean paste - refried beans. And it really is an obession...
However, along the lines of hated foods, I can easily say that many people I know are quite grossed out by said bean paste. And onions, quite tragically....

I have the same reaction to a place that sells burritos that visitors to Paris have when they pass a crêpe vendor.

I still don't like apricots. I don't know why. I ate one at lunch to check my feelings about them again, and it was an effort. Peaches are fine, nectarines are fine, no apricots please.

Shredded cabbage is so crisp and flavorful. And crunchy. And flavorful. Did I say flavorful already? ;D Shredded lettuce on hot food is an abomination. Given the choice between hot food on a bed of cold lettuce and having marshmallows (a "food" I hate) sprinkled on top, I'd have to go with the marshmallows. In Mexico, you never get lettuce on a taco, but cabbage is fairly common depending on the type of taco. *goes off to kitchen to prepare a malted milk with apricot smoothie*

I love apricots too,rarely see a fresh one unless out on a hunt for...I make a wonderful apricot mousse which I haven't done in years, but,now, feel inspired. Thanks K. The shredded lettuce on hot food should be in Food Abominations as far as I'm concerned...

I bought a basket of fresh apricots from the Niagara region of southern Ontario, the so-called "banana belt" (no bananas grown there as of yet, but many fruits hard to grow a zone colder than that microclimate) which is as close to local as apricots can get here.

I found out last week that I can't stand smoked salmon anymore, only fresh. I am more and more repelled by salt and also had great trouble eating bacon the other day for that reason. I use almost no soy sauce now, too.
I have no idea what has brought this on.

Tasteless, shredded cheese as a salad garnish. Bad croutons. Canned Cream of Asparagus Soup. It's one of the worst of canned soups. It desecrates asparagus in every way, and adding insult to injury, in condensed form, it looks like phlegm. (Sorry!)
In fact, the whole concept of using canned, condensed soup as a sauce base for casserole bakes, is a dubious one. It takes very little time to whip up a white sauce and add the appropriate ingredients. (I confess that I have used condensed cream of mushroom soup—another disgusting looking product—in making tuna noodle casserole. But it's been years.)
We no longer eat canned soups.

I'm going to back up a minute because I'm late on the thread and only read the first and last page but in regards to brussel sprouts and fennel, I like them both.
Fennel is delicious if you slice it really thin and then drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle it with parmesan cheese. Brussel sprouts are delicious when you slice them (yes, time consuming) and then fry them in a pan with some olive or walnut oil, salt and if you like, garlic too.
