El Brujo Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 My 1st date was a pothead who was a little chunky because she regularly had the munchies, and I guess gouging on parsley isn't so bad... but date #3 (the one who looked like a fat teenage boy, and acted twice as salty) grossed me out by eating some horrible-looking sushi thing in front of me at a mall, and date #4 (the one who looked like a fat Cher with too much makeup) tried to get me to drink some "frankenbeverage" she made out of lemon juice and---oh, I don't know what all, she crushed up mint leaves, thyme leaves, and all sorts of other weird herbs from her window garden, and mixed these into the lemon juice and expected me to drink it. I've learned that "gooooood!!!" is really a kind of code word... if a woman tells you a drink tastes "gooooood!!!" then you know it's gonna taste like paint stripper, and if she tells you some kind of food tastes "gooooood!!!" then you know it's gonna taste like dog crap. Especially if she has kids. So, if you ever nab a woman who fancies herself a foodie, you either better hope you've smoked enough grass to give you the munchies for a week, or have a few flavor-deadening drinks before your date, because the woman's not born yet who enjoys the same foods and beverages we men do.
ImperfectionisBeauty Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Why are you going out with all these fat hippos? I mean if you go out with a skinny girl she probably won't eat weird things and she probably won't eat a lot. I know when I go out with guys I order the smallest thing because I don't like eating in front of people
LittlePrince Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I know better to take food from strangers. As long as they aren't eating what their own body has produced I'll be okay.

Oh, puleeeeze.... :rolleyes: I am a trained chef and self-ascribed "foodie" and the type of experiments in food you are describing is hardly confined to women. The most famous chefs in the world that are inventing these dishes are MEN (Heston Blumenthal, Thomas Keller, David Kinch, Jose Andres, Grant Achatz, Ferran Adrià...) 2

yessy21 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 i had the munchies last night.... i had.... 1 ice cream cone 1 boiled egg with salt 1 cup of popcorn.. And .....wait for it............. ANOTHER ICE CREAM CONE. damn im a fat ass. 2
irin Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 what on earth? everyone has their own taste. something might look disgusting to you. its probably delicious to me. stop judging people, by their size and what they eat. if you dont like women who eat go to a eating disorder clinic. and im sure some bulimic chick, will eat great food, in front of you. 2

Sushi, an herbal drink, and parsley are things that are disgusting to you? I don't know about that. I think the issue that you went on a date with a girl that looked like a fat teenage boy, and then another date with a girl that looked like a fat Cher says more about your taste (or lack there of) in women, than their tastes of food. Sushi happens to be absolutely delicious. Disgusting --- would be my ex. Who ate squid tentacles, snails, cow stomach, (tripe), etc etc. 1
CarrieT Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Disgusting --- would be my ex. Who ate squid tentacles, snails, cow stomach, (tripe), etc etc. Don't judge! I've eaten all of that and more... Disgusting is relative and what is disgusting the level of waste in the world; learn to consume the entire animal and other proteins (insects - which I've also had) to leave less of a carbon footprint. 3
ImperfectionisBeauty Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Not gonna lie I eat kind of weird stuff.. You should at least try it before you totally judge. I ate octopus once.. It looked sick AF but it tasted good haha TRY NEW THINGS!! Yolo! 1
Emilia Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Disgusting --- would be my ex. Who ate squid tentacles, snails, cow stomach, (tripe), etc etc. Thanks! There are many parts of world - including where I'm from - where we eat more than the prime cuts. You don't have to of course but it boggles my mind why it bothers you when someone else likes it

Disgusting is relative and what is disgusting the level of waste in the world; learn to consume the entire animal and other proteins (insects - which I've also had) to leave less of a carbon footprint. I'd rather leave a large carbon footprint. It tastes better.

It looked sick AF but it tasted good haha TRY NEW THINGS!! Yolo! I have had calamari but not octopus. I would assume it tastes similar?
ImperfectionisBeauty Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I have had calamari but not octopus. I would assume it tastes similar? Calamari is fried isn't it? I had raw octopus it was good kind of slimy but idk I liked it!
LittlePrince Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Calamari is fried isn't it? I had raw octopus it was good kind of slimy but idk I liked it! Yeah it is. Don't know how much the frying changes the taste.
CarrieT Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I have had calamari but not octopus. I would assume it tastes similar? No. Not necessarily at all. Very different tastes, in my opinion. Calamari is fried isn't it? I had raw octopus it was good kind of slimy but idk I liked it! Yeah it is. NO! Fried calamari is how most restaurants will prepare it as an appetizer because it is an easier preparation (i.e., it is purchased pre-battered and frozen so all they have to do is throw it in the fryer). I never ordered fried calamari because I know it is frozen and rarely fresh. Good raw octopus should not be slimy.

I want to try it again, I had a bad after reaction to it and the sushi I had but I really wanna try again. I guess I'll pick a new place :/

I don't like the idea of raw tuna due to the salmonella and parasites it might contain.
Disillusioned Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 When I cooked octopus, it wasn't slimy at all. It tasted like shrimp, but a little sweeter. Chitterlings (pig guts) didn't taste bad at all---kind of like peppersteak---but they smell like a rotting dead body. Durian fruit are supposed to stink like stove gas, but are said to be delicious. Bon appetit!

A Heston Blumenthal reference on LS. My life is now complete. 1
LittlePrince Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 OP If I were still a single guy I'd like to date a girl who wants to try new foods and is somewhat of a foody. I am cultured and well-traveled. I've tried some very odd foods in my day (mostly in south east asia). My girl friend is a small town girl, but I've managed to get her into foreign foods. So don't knock it before you try it. As a great odd food crtic once said "if it looks good eat it". Just watching Andrew Zimmern eat is entertaining. He eats like it will crawl right out of his mouth.

xdahliax Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 You're judgmental. You also sound like a jerk, why bother going on dates with girls you're just going to call horrible names anyway? It really isn't appropriate to use that language towards women who've done nothing to you, or anyone else for that matter. If I hear a man bashing women, I walk the other way. I see it as disrespect for women in general. FYI...nothing you mentioned is gross at all. I'm French and Eastern European. I eat squid, snails, pig's feet....and probably a whole bunch of things that I think most people consider vanilla but you seem to find disgusting.
