To most of what you've mentioned in this thread, it's all a matter of preparation.

Boiled peanuts are good, when they're /prepared/ well.

Poi is also good when it's prepared well. IE, needs to be fresh mashed taro, and then it tastes like a cross between mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. Very good.

After that, it's all a matter of "do I like this texture, smell or flavor, or does it tend to make me feel sick to my stomach". Which is of course a matter of opinion.

Also, ya'all northerners don't know what a real barbeque is. Hint: it's NOT hamburgers, hotdogs and bratwurst on a grill.

No.  It is moose or a big dead fish.

Also, WE Northerners?  Aren't you a born and raised cheesehead?

Depends on how you define "Northerner". We absolutely do know what real BBQ is in Oregon. It looks a lot like this:



Or sometimes like this:

We did a pig like this while camping--had a HUGE bbq grill--and I think I mentioned this before, but the whole campground came by to check it out.  The kids wanted to keep pokin' at the eyes.

Boiled peanuts are fucking disgusting.
THIS. I haven't tried boiled peanuts in about 15 years but I still remember them being one of the worst foods I've ever eaten.

It has become twice as important for me to try these boiled peanuts now.

I've been searching for a food that I find disgusting but I have not yet found one.

Sardines, eel, squid, octopus, crocodile, crawfish, broccoli, brussel sprouts, asparagus....I'm at a loss here.

They're all good.

I bet you bastards are misrepresenting boiled peanuts too.

Really?  People find asparagus disgusting?
Asparagus is pretty disgusting on the way out.
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

I think I'd like to try these.

On the topic of barbecue, believe it or not there's a place in Western MA that gets some recognition as a legit barbecue joint.  It's called Bub's Barbecue, it's in Sunderland.  It's delicious.  Kai, you can have your pulled pork, and I get the appeal, but I will take brisket any day.

For foods that I will pretty much just not eat, I'd say Gefilte fish tops the list.

I like BBQ brisket, and I like pork ribs a LOT.

i used to HAAAAATE asparagus when i was a kid but thats cause we only had canned when i was little
but then we could afford fresh veggies and IT WAS AWESOME

Mesozoic Mister Nigel

Canned asparagus and peas are two of the most horrifying foods on earth. I would rather eat bee larva tacos.
