What Food Could You Never Eat?

[NoshowJones]

 Suppose you were stranded alone in a wilderness and starving.

Is there any food that you think you could never eat even in that sort of situation?

For me it would be beetroot, any kind of nuts, dates, brussels sprouts.

[Mitkof Island]

i guess you are going to die then. Lived most of my life in the Alaskan wilderness. And you can,t handle nuts, dates or brussels sprouts ?

[Orton Rd]

Meat, fish, som tam, durrian and nam prik.

[Mitkof Island]

what do you eat ? Grass ?

So your a veggie then? Well almost.

If eating the available resource was safe and ensured survival then I would find a way to devour it, grass no problem, just thin leafed lettuce.

This topic is about eating, not smoking.

Nope.

I am however curious as to who or what would be growing Brussel sprouts in the wilderness?

[CharlieH]

Provided I could cook it in some way , roast or boil etc I don't think there is anything I wouldn't "try" , but then I might find some I wouldn't do again ????

 

Durian springs to mind, hate the smell, can't eat bad smelling stuff ! because no matter what you do to it it still stinks! Yuk!

[IvorBiggun2]

Complex question. But depending on circumstance there ain't a thing one wouldn't eat if the situation proved you have no choice. Survival instincts will automatically take over.

The correct term is lacto vegetarian I think, but I do eat one meat item, but never swallow ????

Pumpkin. Loathsome vegetable, frequently fed to pigs which is an appropriate destination.

My former wife used to force-feed mashed brussel sprouts to my son in his infancy, so he hates them with equivalent passion.

[Jingthing]

I have no idea what I would or wouldn't eat in a survival situation, including cannibalism. That said, the first thing that came to mind was BALUT. 

 

The list of horror in the OP of beetroot, any kind of nuts, dates, and brussels sprouts all sound DELICIOUS.

possum... so you are safe...

I was only using the wilderness thing as an example.

Mrs Possum makes lovely pumpkin soup.

You are welcome to it. However, be aware Mrs Possum may have an ulterior motive. According to my Thai GF, pumpkin stokes the old libido.

Maybe it’s because pumpkin is called fcuktong in Thailand, excuse my spelling I know it’s incorrect.

Pumpkin is terrible, but maybe I might make an exception in a life threatening situation. Not so sure about bugs (juicy cockcroach style) as they even sell it in the streets here (cooked)

[faraday]

Pad Thai... it's got some bug in it that nearly killed some Australian bird & her husband.

Amate of mine told me he was once on a date with a bird, she grabbed his nuts and told him they were as big as Brussels sprouts.

The movie/book 'Alive' is a good example of this.

I used to castrate bulls, cook and eat the testicles, better with garlic or onion to give them a bit of flavour 

[bkk6060]

You can safely drink your own piss.

So, I would start with that. Anything else available I would consume.  Heck, I practically do that already.

Or the rugby team in the plane crash landing in South America some years ago ..... you eat or you die ... very simple
