    I could hardly believe it when I saw it in Costco this week. A big 'ol section of clamato juice!
    Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.

      Turkey Jook (Congee, a.k.a. rice porridge)
      Im one who does not like long rice, but I absolutely LOVE Jook. It's not the rice, or porridge effect that I dislike,it's simply (in my opinion) the slimy, sticky, transluscent efffect of those noodles. I'm a texture and visual person, and long rice rubs me the wrong way.

        Re: Foods You Don't Like - Bitter Melon

        Here's another fruit many may find offensive in flavor: the Bitter Melon, a.k.a. Goya (as in Okinawan Goya Chanpuru), a.k.a. Ampalaya (as would be used in Filipino Pinakbet)...


        Bitter Melon, a.k.a. Goya, a.k.a. Ampalaya

        What must be noted are the incredible medicinal benefits Bitter Melon is reputedly known for, especially in treating diabetes and digestive problems to cancer provention. Native Okinawans statistically have the longest lifespan in the world, and surely their diet, which includes Goya, contributes to that.

        I for one, LOVE Goya. Mo' bittah, da' bettah'!

          One of my first ventures to the Waialua Farmer's Market; I picked up one of those knobby looking squash and asked what it was....the lady said, "Beetermelon." I then asked her what it tasted like......

          She looked confused, tilted her head to the side, and said "Beeter!"

          I have yet to try it.

            What does 'scones' mean?

            Bad donut.

              Aww, I love scones! I have some great receipes.

              Ooh, but here's another one that's related. Marmalade. Eww! Or any jelly besides grape or apple...and only then in very small quanities. And clotted cream isn't a favorite.

              Pulp-y orange juice is gross too.

              Can't think of anything creative this time

                SG, I guess you wouldn't like candied grapefruit peel, either.

                I don't know if I would like clotted cream. I just found out I do like buttermilk!

                  Re: Foods You Don't Like

                  I'm just sitting here, quietly chuckling to myself about all our individual food fetishes/dislikes and wondering where they come from. For myself, my mom was a lousy cook - everything was either boiled to death or fried to a crisp. and all our veggies were from cans. This happens when you grow up in the Midwest where you can only get fresh for a few months a year. But, since living in Hawaii my food horizons have broadened and I love many things now that I hated as a kid.

                    It appears liver is the #1 dislike so far!

                      Tripe might be a close #2. Yuck. (Cow guts .... uggh, why eat stuff like that...)

                          Ah, my Mom was/is a lousy cook, too. She always overcooked everything, and our veggies were usually frozen peas and carrots, or frozen corn. Ick. If she tried, she could make a decent meal, but it just didn't interest her.

                            Like just about everything else reflecting our individual character, surely our experiences from childhood affect our likes and dislikes of various types of foods.

                            I have a friend who's parent's raised he and his siblings predominantly on fresh-caught fish. Now as an adult, he's so sick of fish (especially reef fish), he avoids it whenever possible.

                            Same for another (part-Filipino) friend who's parents only fed him Filipino food. He now avoids it as much as he can help it.

                            Same for me growing up with Chinese food, as whenever our family dined out, it was almost ALWAYS Chinese, either at Mui Kwai, or later, Kin Wah Chop Suey in Kaneohe. Because of that, to this day I'm psychologically burnt-out of that general "Chinese" flavor (no offense to you Chinese folks), save for select Dim Sum items.

                            Although in all these cases, here in Hawaii we're surrounded with these types of foods, so at one point or another we're destined to come across it... and eat it. It's unavoidable.

                            Rough life.
