Foods I Hate but Tolerate

Pardon the douche-chillingly awful title, I'm irritable.

There are just some foods that I cannot stand. I'm a bit (see: a big) of a foodie (see: fatso) and will always try sometime once. Having a very multicultural family, I've come across some foods that I have ingested and have not enjoyed.

• Shrimp with shells still on - They're highly delicious, but I really don't want to do the work of pulling legs, head and shells off to enjoy. Plus, depooping my food isn't really high on my to-do list.
• Tomatillos - Heard some indie rock chick on WVKR talk about tomatillos for 15 minutes. She had a nasally timbre, filling dead air with umms and uhhs. She droned incessantly, so I remember punching the radio off. I've never had one, but I know I don't want one because nasally hipsters eat them. Fuck you.
• Sea cucumber - Scrape the side of a spam can. See the gelatinous goodness? Refrigerate it. Serve with a sprinkling of sand on top. There you have sea cucumber. Plus you can't trust any creature that shoots sticky filaments from its anus as a defense mechanism. It's Memorial Day at Fire Island all over again. No thanks.
• Mussels/clams/oysters - Snot of the sea in a handy carrying case. Then there's the chance of immediately rocketing yoohoo (thanks Otto) out of your rectum for the next 48 hours.
• Organs - I grew up eating beef liver and onions and fried chicken gizzards. What in Sam Hell were my parents thinking?! To this day, if a plate of fried chicken gizzards hits the kitchen table, my brothers and father assault it. For those not in the know, the gizzard is the organ that stupid chickens use to grind up their food. How, you ask? You ever see chickens incessantly pecking at the dirt? They're eating rocks that then get stored in the gizzard and are used to grind up their food. Chickens are too stupid to properly digest their own food, so they have to eat rocks and flex their stomach until its a fine powder. Stupid birds. Anyways, gizzards are chewy and awful. Want to know what a liver tastes like? Punch yourself in the mouth. Hard. Let your teeth shards and blood congeal into a gelatinous mass. Bon Appetit!
