Based on smell, appearance, etc. ?

For me, Indian food. The spices knock me over.

My cousin had her engagement party at a Russian place over by Coney Island and I wanted to puke all night. I know it was crazy expensive but I couldn't stand looking at the little squid things that looked like those plastic wall crawlers on the plate

Thai Food. I HATE anything sesame or peanut-tasting, and I've been told its all over Thai food.

Sushi
Caviar
Venicen
Indian anything

Other than those which I never tried and most likely never will, there are a few foods I did give a chance and hated........

Blood pudding.

Clotted Cream.

Kidney Pie.

Based on the names alone my gag-reflex would be working overtime. It's unfortunate that English Cuisine is good, but poorly named. They need to get in touch with their PR department.

And escargot and liver... I don't do snails and the texture of liver squicks me.

P.S. Oooh, and tripe! I won't eat something that's name is frequently used as a negative adjective.

I REFUSE to try calamari, even though everyone tells me how delicious it is and that you don't have to eat the tenticles.
I just can't do it though - yuck!

ANN!!!!!! The best calamari I have ever eaten in my life is at Runyons!!!!! TRY IT SOME TIME!!!!!!!!!

Blood Pudding

INGREDIENTS:
3 quarts pork blood
1-1/2 pounds raisins
1-1/4 pounds sugar
1 pound mixed nuts & chestnuts
3/4 pound rice--cooked
2 oranges with all rind
1 pound figs
1 teaspoon red pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
bay leaf

DIRECTIONS:
Mix all and bake in oven for one (1) hour.

COMMENTS:
This pudding was made when the hogs were slaughtered
on the farm.
Although this may sound strange to us today,
'Blood Pudding' was a common dish during the earlier
part of this century. When a hog was slaughtered,
nothing went to waste.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CLOTTED CREAM:
2 cups pasteurized (not ultra-pasteurized) cream

Set a coffee filter basket, lined with a filter, in a strainer, over a bowl. Pour the cream almost to the top of the filter. Refrigerate for 2 hours. The whey will sink to the bottom passing through the filter leaving a ring of clotted cream. Scrape this down with a rubber spatula and repeat every couple of hours until the mass reaches the consistency of soft cream cheese.

there's no coffee grinds! You just use a coffee filter to drain the cream, LOL.
