I like and will eat everything aformentioned in this thread. My two dislikes has to be celery and some kinds of melon. Some foods I wouldn't eat out of choice but I wouldn't say the flavour is great like avocados. Do not see the fuss at all.

Vegemite

I think Australia is great, but I tried vegemite there. I really wanted to like it, but I thought it was some of the worst "food" I ever ate.

Try them steamed or even fried - that firms them up and removes that feeling that you're svcking down a loogie.

I used to love eating raw oysters myself, but they just scare me any more.

I know this one it's Surstrumming, it's basically rotted fish in a can and I heard the smell and taste is a thing of legends...to put it frank it makes Durans smell like roses.

I wasn't aware http://www.culinaryschools.org/cuisine/10-disgusting-delicacies/ was a thing, lol!

I dunno about you guys, but I'd try kwama.

i haven't found any properly prepared food too terrible... i have tasted some horrible ill-prepared/rotten food though.

i'm up for trying any sort of food -- if people eat it then there must be something to it. i will state that i find most exotic foods way overrated by foodies.

however, i'm not cultured enough like a buddy of mine who will eat half eaten donuts, hot dogs, etc out of city trash if he comes across them lol. oddly enough he never gets sick from it.

Maybe... Scrib Jelly on toast sounds delicious, though

I assume a lot of the rotted meat foods are a result of an otherwise bland palate of food within that region, and that anything outside of bland is a big welcome.

Well I know that France has lots of good sauces because during WW2 the only meat they had was half rotten so they came up with sauces to cover up the taste. So maybe some scenario like that is the cause for rotten food delicacies in other countries.

Tried Crawlfish recently, tasted like dirty water. Absolutely disgusting.

Boiled eggs... Last one I ate was a quail egg in some type of Chinese dim sum... Reminded me of old wet hay

And most if not all vinegar based condiments

Well that's a case of having access to a diverse amount of flavors. If what they had wasn't very diverse and tended to be bland, seeking something that tasted like gasoline would be welcomed, in the sense if you were going back before global trade.

Something similar happened here, almost every brazilian dishes comes from harsh times (since Portugal didn't care about Brazil until the Dutch almost captured the colony in the XVIII century). I will list some:

Tapioca: people in Bahia had literally only coconut, milk, butter and wheat. Tapioca was born.

Feijoada: people only had black beans and rests of meat and some vegetebles. Feijoada was born.

Mungunzá: the slaves had only corn and some milk to eat, sometimes sugar. Mungunzá was born.

Rapadura: A very bitter-sweet dish created using only sugar cane.

These dishes evolved with time and became the tasteful things they are today.
