I've got a bit of a food phobia about egg whites. I can eat scrambled egg and omelettes no problem, but really can't bring myself to eat fried, poached or boiled eggs. The whites are so slimy and disgusting, especially boiled eggs - they look like eyeballs
I have no problems with eggs. I have six ex-battery hens, I did have eight but two have sadly gone to the big wheely bin in the sky....
Love having my own eggs costs about £12 a month to feed the hens, and I have more eggs then I ever need and give half a dozen away once every week or two to one or two neighbours.
About 10 years ago I ate some mussels in a hotel in France and was violently sick about an hour later. Very unpleasant, so I don't take any chances now.
Jason, I totally agree about sweetcorn .... anything that can pass through the human digestive system and remain intact surely has something of the devil about it !
it's devil's food - needs to be banned from the planet
Totally agree.
Bananas are the only other one, texture and taste makes me feel ill but really wish I could eat them as it would make pre and post swims a whole lot easier.
I think that the violent-sick reaction to food poisoning is enough to make most people think twice about certain foodstuffs. -Prawn mayonnaise sandwiches do that for me.
-But if I am the one to prepare the prawns then I'm happy. Similarly with mussels. Eating raw oysters is a bit like playing Russian roulette. They are massively over-rated too. I will also go out of my way to avoid eating in a Macdonalds or a Little Chef.
But foods that frighten me? Sorry, I just don't get the concept. It's like a child asking me what's my favourite number or favourite colour. I see numbers and colours. I wouldn't choose a yellow car, but then again I'd be suspicious of a blue daffodil.

I am afraid of bananas.
I won't eat shellfish.

Just bananas. Cucumbers, courgettes, carrots etc. are all fine.
celery

anything else is fine
Brussels sprouts are the Devil's testicles.
Yes. It is the vegetable of the anti-Christ. Evil incarnate. It has no right to exist.
No, surely that vegetable is okra?
ive always been uncertain about sweetcorn!!
theres something i dont trust about it.
plus its pointless food that should be just given to fish
milk - freaks me out - the very thought of it. (never mind the smell and taste etc- yuck)

Jerusalem Artichokes - what evil b*****d thought eating those was a good idea???
Totally agree.

POO CAKE FROM IKEA??!!
i'll eat pretty much anything, however I tried "Balut" in the Philippines, i dont think i'd eat that again,
They had that in Vietnam and often sold them on the trains. I sat next to someone who was eating one. *Shudders*
Balut - I had to look that one up . While doing so, I found this
I like the sound of the ant eggs. I missed out on ant egg soup when I went to Laos but didn't see it on a menu anywhere.
