Shoot. I wouldn't even touch it with a 100-foot pole or even a 100-foot Pole!

Definitely deserves second place. Jellied fish is the only thing I can think of that's more disgusting than jellied meat and/or jellied offal.

Now, what is this doing here? I haven't tried one yet but it sounds good to me.

I guess I wouldn't mind eating actual "meat", i.e. muscle tissue from a pig's head (barring the tongue), it's all the other weird stuff that seems to come with it I won't eat.

When I was in Ireland I had black pudding several times and I loved it. I bought some here recently from an "Irish" vendor at Cleveland's West Side Market and it was awful and didn't look anything like what I had in Ireland. (I also got their version of Irish sausages and they also were quite different than what I had at numerous places in Ireland and not as good tasting.)

Now, how can anyone not love tapioca! Comfort food extraordinaire!

'Nuff sed. ;-)

Can there *be* any more foul brew on the planet. Although I might prefer it to coffee.

What? Don't they know you're supposed to *cook* it? Naturally it's going to taste nasty the way it comes out of the package. A tad dry, I imagine.

Well, duh! Beets (in anything)!

Dora, now I am Of course you'll live - I'm living, aren't I?? Here's my favourite...

Depending how you do it pickled eggs are pretty good. Can't see how anyone could object to them.

Sort of the Scottish equivalent of scrapple. If you make it the original authentic way it's gross. However if you clean it up and use good meat instead of scraps and offal, well, then it's pretty darn tasty.

Don't know what this is. Sounds suspicious, though.

See "Beetroot (in vinegar)"

Huh? Okay, I have this image of someone cooking long strands of spaghetti to soften them and then bending them into hoop shapes and allowing them to re-harden and then going outside and sticking them in the lawn and starting up a game of croquet. ;-) Maybe they mean Spaghetti-O's???? Actually, there are lots worse things. I mean they're not something I would eat on purpose, but if I were hungry enough and someone offered them to me I'd eat them.

That sounds good. Depending on how it's made, of course.

I've had that here in the states. I like it. Maybe the people who make it in England are very good cooks?

Eh. They don't sound all that bad. But then I've never actually eaten them so what do I know.

Ooh! I love rhubarb. What's the hell's wrong with you Brits, anyway????

jay The thing many may not have considered is that a lot of these 'staples' were derrived during...

Not all that horrible. I'd eat it in a pinch.

It seems to me there are plenty of lots worse tasting stuff that could take the places of the obvious mistakes in the above list.
