Calf fries/lamb fries are a big NOPE! Don't care how good they are suppose to be not gonna do it. Otherwise I will eat just anything that has actual meat. No insects or snail (though I might be open to try that if I can hold down my gag reflex). I agree with tartanphantom on venison too. If I actually hunted myself venison could easily replace beef. But as is I usually am dependent on someone else. The venison in my freezer now was due to a coworker's husband who killed it and I paid to have it processed.

I tried everything. Imgur will not allow the desktop version on a tablet or iPhone. Does anyone use another image hosting site that's free ? I use Postimages.org

I'm right there with you on calf fries/lamb fries/mountain oysters... not even on a good day.

I’m fairly open to new food experiences. Actually tried escargot about a decade ago and found that if prepared properly, it wasn’t half bad. Tried black pudding when I was in Wales a couple of years ago, and I can say it will never cross my lips again. My three “no way in Hell I’m trying” food items are mountain oysters, chitlins, and haggis. Can’t even remotely overcome the revulsion I feel when I think about those items.

I like escargot, black pudding and haggis. You can keep the chitlins... I've smelled them cooking too many times in my life, and that alone is nauseating, much less the actual taste.

If I HAD to eat black pudding again, I probably could, but I didn’t enjoy it enough to actively seek it out. My sister went to Scotland a few years ago and had something called “haggis balls”, which she said weren’t actually that bad. Might give them a shot if and when I get there myself.

Black/blood pudding (or blood sausage) and chitlins/tripe are considered delicacies here in Croatia (and the wider Balkans), and I remember my parents and certain other older relatives used to like them. If necessary, I can take a bite or two of the former out of politeness if it's served when I'm a guest in someone's house, but I refuse to even touch the latter. And speaking of things that smell atrocious when cooking: kidneys, beef or pork, regardless. Doesn't smell much better when served, either. I forced down a mouthful once and that was enough for this lifetime.
Never tried escagots, but I've had sea snails - caught fresh from the Adriatic, sauteed and served with pasta. Pretty good, all in all.

I love me some rocky mountain oysters. I'll happily go to any testicle festival.

Escargot properly cooked in butter/oil and garlic is divine.

Never have, never will any form of testicles. Had chitlins unwillingly as a child, never again. Haggis though isn't bad (although I think I'm required to say that due to Scottish lineage). Tastes kind of like Braunschweiger (smoked liver sausage).

Just out of interest, is there an international treaty between photo/image uploading sites that states when one is acting crap/is down, they all have to do so? So looking forward to the day when there’s an image uploading site that is actually half-decent all of the time.

Woke up this morning craving an old childhood favorite...when I was a little kid in the New York City area, we'd get local ads for Carvel ice cream. The announcer was this gravel voiced "3 packs a day" sounding older gentleman, and when he talked about ordering a "Fudgie the Whale" ice cream cake for my next birthday, to me it was almost like an old family member reminding you to do something rather than a sales pitch. I wish I was in the area and could still order one! They sell Carvel cakes at Walmart, but just the more traditional Ice Cream cakes and none of the fancier ones like Cookie Puss. Posted this long commercial pack in the Random Videos Thread eons ago
