What's your food "comfort zone"?

What foods are just too odd for you?

I have always had trouble eating anything with a fully formed head. Specifically, trout and certain other kinds of fish are served with the head. I can't eat something that's watching me. I can't eat blood or anything with blood(sans meat) as a major ingredient. I don't think I could eat Haitian dirt cakes. No other existing forms of cuisine spring immediately to mind.

I am wary of any foods that is brightly coloured. Does that make me a food racist?:p

All of these except possibly "pet" meats. I don't think I'd feel too weird about eating dog or cat.

So, far, the only things that I just can't bring myself to try are dog/cat (I could never eat something I've had as a family member!) or really weird, squishy, jiggly internal organs (so far, tripe and brain).

I'm also with LG on the "food that's watching me" issue - that's just unsettling.

Out of your poll (not multi choice, for shame!) I'd eat everything but bugs. Insects and similar creepy crawlies are a total no-go, even if they're delicious and full of protein and whatnot.

Anything on the poll is unacceptable.

I'm more concerned with food that can taste me back.

Probably no heads, raw meat, and not anything human. And for some reason, I have trouble with stuff that's green and not a vegetable.

I could eat anything. One time.

Like I said, I'd try it once. It might be good.
