Dishes of your local - ethnic or national cuisine which you do not like or that you find gross?

Are there any?

I find gross this Polish soup / stew called ''flaki'' - ''tripe''. That name can be also literally translated into ''guts'' albeit it is not that. It is made from stomachs (usually beef) though, yuck. It looks tasty but smells and tastes awfully, smells like crap even dare I say. In my life I have only managed to eat a few spoons of it. My sister also hates it, my mother once paid my sister to finish her soup. I remember all the disgust on her face and how she had to stop every so often while looking like as if she's about to puke. And it was apparently very fresh, it is way more gross if it's even slightly stale / badly done.



Or befsztyk tatarski / steak tartare. It is not that bad but not my thing at all. My mum loves but I can't stand it on the other hand. I can eat raw fish as in sushi, but raw meat is a no, no for me. Maybe I have too much prejudice towards it?





I also actively dislike dumplings with sweet cream (quite popular) - I mean pierogi ruskie with it and served with some lettuce to it (yuck), those with bluberries / strawberries are fine if they are not too sweet, but your standard ones of some sweet variety - I am strictly against it. I am yet to ever try eating Czernina, it's a soup in which one of the ingredients is duck blood. I have some objections ... but maybe I shouldn't eat as I like kaszanka which is a sausage containing blood too. Czernina is not a popular dish though.

British food sucks in general. Marmite is unbelievably disgusting though.

I was aware of the name but ...

I had to google it to check what exactly it is. Seems gross. It's a British food spread made from yeast extract. But I know that brewer's yeast is very healthy.

Thos British "delicacy" that is actually served in one bar in Scotland. Deep Fried Mars Bar. This is a heart attack on the plate.

Maybe I'm strange but I really liked it when I was in London. I even bring some jars to Poland lol It's very healthy too some people say.

I would try one of them with ice cream, I reckon it'd be pretty good tbh.

That's served in a lot of fish and chip places not just one bar btw; more common in Scotland though. I've had a deep fried beef burger before.

Yeah it has a lot of B vitamins in it.

Bullshit, flaski doesn't have any "shit" smell, I guess you mean that? Unless you had not cleaned version... But probably it is impossible to buy them in such version

BTW in Rome tripe is traditional dish too, but not served as soup but meat dish with some sauce.
