Here is one that wrecked me many years ago...
Pudding - I always thought as Chocolate, Banana, Tapioca etc..
"Country Pudding" Is not a dessert. One of the few foods I cannot eat. Some liver based concoction often sold like sausage in appearance. I can't stand liver, so if you are ever offered "Country Pudding" in the southern United States, know that liver is coming. But, it is popular and many people like it.
Had this discussion years ago with a bud from Pennsylvania, (he's gone now RIP) but I recall he told me of something similar he ate growing up I think it was called "scrabble."

You mean scrapple.
And pudding is blood sausage in Ireland.

THP.
No sir, don't believe I could eat it.
Reckon it's ok to hijack one's own thread, so I will speak to it.
I've been lucky enough to travel to quite a few places in the world. I tasted the foods, enjoyed the beers and some occasions - the companionship of a lovely woman.
I grew up on eating a staple of what some would call "critters." Squirrels, Rabbits, Doves, Quail and Deer. I am very "open minded" about food. Have a "cast Iron Gullet" if you will.
Having said all that, I've found only three (3) things I absolutely just cannot eat, no matter how hard I try.
1. Liver. In any preparation, any form. (gag reflex.)
2. Beets. The purple kind in a can. (gag reflex)
3. Cheese. (only raw,) cooked, melted love it. Can't eat just a plain piece of cheese. Of all, this one confounds me. It always looks and sounds great, the different names/ styles and such, but try as I might, I just cannot eat a hunk of cheese. But again, I cook with cheeses and enjoy it. Can't explain the dichotomy.

Beets in the can suck. Try roasting some and making a beet and goat cheese appetizer. You will love it.

i can`t do liver. i can eat liverwurst in small doses with lots of mustard, cheese, lettuce and tomato and onion on a sammy. it`s an acquired taste. pickled beets out of a jar are good just like pickled red cabbage. beets in the can suck. cheese is one of my favorites. i love most all kinds but i really like swiss and other similar cheeses for the nutty flavor they have. extra sharp chedder is fantastic. is it the taste or the texture that turns you off?WarrantMan said:THP.

steering this back on topic here we have steamers. also called soft shelled clams or pisser clams they are a regional thing. because the shell is more delicate they don`t ship well and are mostly found in markets and restaurants near the coast in the northeast. after they are cooked you pull them from the shell and then remove the "foreskin" from the neck of the clam before eating it.
you either love em or hate em LOL. you can also order them fried with or without their stomach.
I ate steamers when I was a little kid. Haven't had them since. Still remember the flavor and the butter. Man I would love some right now.
They have them in Cleveland but it's a totally different thing...
oh for the love of Pete
for Pete's sake
who the heck is Pete and why is he so exasperating ?

same here. i have now decided i will drive to the coast and find a place that has them this year.The Hot Pepper said:
i imagine if you go into any restaurant in the country besides new england and say "i`ll take the steamers with a cup of the broth on the side" the waiter/waitress would look at you like you have 3 heads.
Kacked/kacked out = something broken, example dead engine.
Hooped= similar to kacked but more along the lines of fubar when referring to a thing. If referring to a person, they are basically f'd over.
F#@%ing the dog aka making puppies. =willfully doing as little as possible at work. I have heard it called goldbricking. Completely different than screwing the pooch, which means making a large mistake,or making a mess of a task.
Parkade= multilevel parking structure/parking garage.
Skeevy= dirty/disgusting. Can refer to a person, place or thing.
