Kitten Head Ridge posted:This thread has certainly convinced me to give fresh durian a chance. I've had durian candy (some cheap Chinese brand), and it was one of the most disgusting things I've ever tasted. I couldn't get that damned taste out of my mouth for hours. The durian candy I bought to give to unsuspecting people tastes like onion taffy with a slight hint of garbage. A student of mine brave enough to try it said it was nowhere near as disgusting as he was expecting based on how people describe it, so I'm not a total freak. I actually kind of like it in a strange way.

When I was growing up, the only things I really saw him drink were Pepsi, lemonade, coffee, and beer. He still wouldn't drink water even after he got kidney stones and the doctor told him to.  I happen to think water is delicious, and used to drink it just out of spite.

Water tastes crap when it's room temperature/warm but when it is ice-cold then it gets almost a sweet flavour to it. Of course, we have proper tap water here that is drinkable and doesn't taste like chlorine/raw sewage/chalk so that might help. We also have squash for when water tastes crap: It saddens me that you can't get squash to dilute in America, you only get that powdered stuff

The typical meat toppings for pizza are already cooked when you put them on there too. That's disgusting for many reasons but the meat having been cooked isn't one of them. Probably didn't do the bun any favors though.

I made something like that with friends and it was delicious. Burgers, chicken nuggets, fries, all definitely taste good in there. Not something I think I'd do again but taste seriously wasn't a problem. I know, trap sprung,  etc, I'll let the thread get back to talking about how gross things like Apple Pie, Poutine, and Tomatoes are.

Be very careful of drinking from streams and waterfalls. Unless you are drinking from a confirmed uncontaminated source, chances are someone or something took a poo poo upstream and you are drinking the VERY diluted bacterial parfait. Stupid river water ruined a day of vacation when I was 14. I remember drinking a single glass of river water, that had no taste, no smell and was refreshingly cool. That night, I learned that my vomiting spasms transform me into a hydralisk. You haven't vomited until you have projected a stream of puke from the door in the bathroom.

I've had mineral spring water at the historic spa in WV that has "George Washington's Bathtub" and it tasted like rear end. Like George Washington's assy, farty, lukewarm bathwater transported through time and coming out of a tap. The taste is apparently due to sulfur content. The locals seemed to like it, though.

I don't like water from the kitchen tap 'raw' but after it's been through the filter it's fine, provided the filter has been cleaned (I always have to clean it). However I actually prefer to drink it straight out the tap from the upstairs sink (Flowing water, Just like my cat does  ), I can't stand when its been sitting in a glass for a while a goes stagnant.

^^^ You're either lucky or your gut is adjusted. "Beaver Fever" is the Canadian version of Montezumo's Revenge and I know people who have gotten horrible, painful, debilitating diarrhea while hiking and backpacking in the mountains here because they drank from streams below treeline, where water is contaminated with animal fecal matter. I'm more than happy to drink water fresh out a glacier as long as it's in the high alpine though. Nothing lives up there to poo poo in the water,and it's super clean, and also full of minerals from the ice-scoured rock (glacial flour).deathbagel posted:I know this was from over 20 pages ago, but this has to be the worst thing in this thread, EVERYONE knows that you make Kraft Mac n Cheese and cut up hot dogs with MUSTARD, not ketchup! No way. Never heard of this. Where are you from? I don't understand how people can eat invertebrates. I know it's just something in my brain that makes me a weirdo, but any time I try to eat shrimp, lobster, escargot, octopus, squid, what have you, I instantly gag. There's just something about them that says to me INEDIBLE. I guess it's similar to the anti-tomato guy a couple pages back. I sometimes eat a single shrimp to be polite when it's offered to me, but I have to close my eyes and try to pretend I'm eating a cooked vegetable or something when I bite into the texture in order to not spit it out or visibly gag. I then completely lose my appetite. I ought to lie and claim I have a shellfish allergy to avoid the misery altogether, but I hate lying even more

You know how before people understood the germ theory of disease and boiled their drinking water basically half the people at any one point in time died of dysentery and cholera? Jesus Christ you loving guys. I don't have a picture but you already know what raw pork looks like, it's a thing in certain parts of Yunnan province in China to have basically pork sashimi, with the meat and the fat consumed separately. I was assured that the pigs were specially selected and grass fed (or whatever the pig equivalent is) and I didn't die of Trichinosis, but it wasn't particularly appetizing.

There was this travel/food show with Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow and in one episode, they're in the italian village and the local chef is making some kind of chicken/fowl dish that is basically very rare chicken breast. She didn't want to eat it and Mario was like "this is how you're supposed to eat it, the meat is grown and raised here and is absolutely safe" and basically guilted her into trying it and you can tell it was disgusting by the look on her face. Cut to the next day and both of them are sicker than poo poo. It was amazing.

You should never drink from a water source such as this unless you are prepared to be sick at some point. Once you get sick once, you will realize why sane people boil their water and why mass numbers of people died from this before humankind found out about microbes.
