All those things in the hot case at 7-11 look pretty nasty too, but I have never tried them to find out.
I don't mind some items at BK. One of the taquitos in the 7-11 case (taco and cheese I think) is quite tasty, but probably horrible for my body

I think anything with meat in it is nasty, but going purely on looks...

- Borscht
- Camembert
- Brie (but slightly less nasty than Camembert)
- Flan
- Balut (not that I've ever seen it, but I imagine that it looks gross)
- Mayonnaise
- Feta cheese

I feel like there must be dozens more, but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment. I'll come back when I think of some more.
What nonsense! I bolded the ones I like, and how could anybody not LOVE feta cheese? It's absolutely delicious....mmmm yumm.

I don't eat anything that looks oozy, smells funny, or is a surprising color. My exception is Indian food. I eat any Indian (vegetable) curry without a fuss. My parents forced us to eat anything that my mother cooked in the house (all Indian), but were more than happy to entertain our pickiness for anything else (I think they were unadventurous eaters themselves).

My big victories in food bravery over the past 5 years or so were this backwards chocolate chip cookie, guacamole (which I still think looks gross), and raspberries. Laugh all you want, but I still feel like I was really brave!!!
Since you love curries so much, do you eat bheja masala? White chocolate anything is also delicious. I'm not a fan of guac but I have ate it before

- anything that might be named "Death by Chocolate," "Chocolate Decadence," and the like... I can tolerate chocolate in small doses, but something chocolate, dipped in chocolate, smothered in chocolate, and then garnished with chocolate is too much!!!
Jesus christ....you're pickier than my sister...and I didn't think that was possible ! I'm a fan of all of the above except pickles. Fries dipped in ranch, chicken strips/nuggets dipped in ranch, dulce de leche cheesecake, and blue cheese dressing with buffalo chicken all rank among my delicious list!

Oh btw...I rescind my invitation to SJC now that I know how many of my fav foods you dislike!
