Reply #48: Ham hocks & black-eyed peas. Ham & sweet potatoes (more the latter than the former).... [View All]

... anything with brusselsprouts accompanying.

Those are the Big Three that occur to me with 1 second's thought, so per psychology, they must be the most important to me. I've gotten over none of them.

Don't be misled though - I'm fine with pork in pretty much all of its plethora of manifestations. It's just those *specific* contexts listed that literally made me want to puke. I still won't eat them. They say kids won't starve themselves - maybe that's true, but they aren't justified in saying that until they tried ME on THOSE dishes on me-as-a-kid.


EDIT: Nowadays though, my diet isn't determined very much by "gross" - about the only 2 things that truly fall into that category for me are (1) chitlins, and (2) duck eggs (a la my Vietnamese gf's immigrant parents). And on the latter, I'm convinced that it's actually OBJECTIVELY disgusting, not merely my own personal taste. I say that, of course, subjectively. :)
