Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Liver and Onion, anchovies, chunchullo, whitebait, blood and tongue sausage... generally these fall in two categories:

  • Food that has a particularly strong flavor that clashes with what people are used to, and
  • Food that is made from the parts of an animal that is not "meat" and therefore has an unfamiliar texture.

They're wrong on all accounts - taste is acquired, and people should at least try food out of their comfort zone - but considering that it took 20 years for me to even consider trying shrimp (which still isn't my first choice, but I like it now) I can understand.

Blood products (including blood sausage/black pudding, duck blood "tofu", etc.) react very badly with my stomach. I like the taste fine, but I really hate tasting it, along with any other food I'm eating with it, twice (if you get my drift).
