This is a heck of a post to come to just after eating a real dinner with real food.
1. No ... if it tastes at ALL like fish, it don't get near my mouth, much less IN it. So if rotted fish innards & scraps, mixed with chicken blood, rice,wrapped in leaves, then buried and ferminted in the ground tastes fishy... then you can have my share.
2. I'm still sitting here wondering why this is the first thread I looked at after dinner. Strangely enough, I suddenly feel like I have an illness.

i'm born in holland so i love pickled herring... i'll get a jar when the wife's not around.. eat it with lots of onions.. you need orange hand cleaner to get the smell out your hands after
the quebecer side of me loves poutine.. fries, fry sauce/gravy, and cheese curds stuffed into a take out dish... if you go all the way mix in some canned peas and pieces of cut up hot dogs... i can't stand the other "national delicacy"... creton.. homemade pate which for some reason people eat on toast. breakfast's too early for organ meats
but if you don't mind sleeping on the couch try pea soup.. the thicker the better.. i make mine my mom's way using green split peas and a ground up celery root for flavor... when it's ready warm up some of your favorite sausage and enjoy

Furball60,
That cabbage and noodles sounded familiar but i thought it was polish. So I did a little search for "noodles cabbage +polish".
There they feasted on the usual Polish delicacies -- kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, and noodles and cabbage, otherwise known as halusky.
Used to date a woman that was always asking, Do you like ___________ (insert some wierd sounding name)? Finally I told her, " I don't know. I've never had it. Why don't you stop asking me that question and just make the stuff and we'll find out if I like it".
Darn good eating I thought. Learned another thing too. Cabbage stinks when it's cooked.
As a kid we had beef heart for sunday dinner.
Never had Steak Tartar but raw hamburger gets hard to resist. Just salt it up.
I've eaten sushi, not bad but watch out for that green stuff it comes with.
Things i can't see how people eat: Beans, the texture and taste makes me want to hurl. Blue cheese dressing, smells like hurl. How do people get it past their nose?

Blue cheese is Ok, didn't like the dressing as a kid but now I can eat a wedge of the cheese or the dressing.
Another dish that some chef on TV invented and is quite good and only has four ingredients is:
cooked pasta
fresh ground pepper
parmasean chees - ground.
2 tbsp olive oil
Boil the pasta until el-dante
drain and reserve 1/2 to 1 cup of the water, put pasta back in pot over heat, pour reserved water in with oil, lots of fresh ground pepper while stirring, add LOTS parmasean cheese, give a quick stir and serve.
I don't know if it's controversial or not but it is tasty.
Only fresh ground pepper will do for this one.

Fish any style is fantastic, with the exception of gefilte fish. I love sushi, the green stuff is wasabi, it is a type of horseradish. Watch out for the hot spots in it. WHEW! Most people I talk with think I eat some of the strangest stuff. I think they are picky. I will eat almost anything. I love cheeses. Brie cheese is outstanding on warm bread (French), or even better a good triple cream, ahh such culinary delights to tantilize the tongue.

I have eaten many stinky things but so far I cannot eat Limburgher cheese. Smells like poo and I gag every time I try to get it in my mouth. I did eat some once and it was terribly salty.
Yeah, Pickled Herring or creamed. Head cheese is good too.

I brought some Limburgher cheese to my parents house a while back. They came home while I was making a cheese sandwich. My father wrinkled his nose and asked "What smells like butt holes in here?" I told him I was making Limburgher cheese sandwiches. He promptly replied "Ooh, can I have one?" as his face lit up. My mother and fiancee don't like it, I can't imagine why. Must be a guy thing, my grandfather was fond of Limburgher cheese also. I know my grandmother hated it.
