  • Title sounds a little confusing I know, but I mean which food do like the sound of but not actually like the taste of. Just to clarify I mean which sounds pleasing to the ears (as in how it’s said, not the contents) but upsets your mouth/stomach.

    For me I love the word Baba Ganouj, although I don’t like what it actually is lol.

    Butter en eek (Friesland dialect of NL) which sounds worse than it actually is, Friesland is coastal and prone to bad weather and possible food shortage so it did sound like a buttered and roasted mouse-like rodent, but is a actually a “sauce” made from butter and vinegar(!).

    a stir fried rat might well be tastier in comparison.

    Advocaat (a drink) is a mixture of gin, raw egg, condensed milk and sugar, it was popular amongst middle class UK people in the 1970s/early 80s but tastes fucking rank and probably was a way of concealing dodgy distilled spirits (the name also means “lawyer” in many European languages, and selling that sort of stuff would eventually land the dealers in court….)

    Anything with the word butter in the name. Yuck.

    I’m afraid Advocaat, or eggnog as Americans like to call it, is still a common shelf dweller in my family during the festive periods. None of us really like it but tradition and all lol.

      Yeah I agree with that one. Real nice sounding word, especially when pronounced properly by a Spaniard rather than an English tourist lol. But I’m not a seafood person at all so no Paella for me thanks

      Come on Gylf, I see you lurking. Throw something Icelandic and obscure at us we’ve never heard of lol

      Both the Doc and Gylfi seem to have been lurking for some time now, what new conspiracies do you have share?

            there’s some 1980s film on (I think) STV website or even Scottish Government which is a documentary about haggis, and shows them making it from a old blind sheep (as she would have fallen down the mountain anyway). Not only did it not look particularly appetising, it was made using the 16mm film and Fuji filmstock which Scots always liked as it was more realistic with colours (Scotland and Japan have similar landscapes) but made things look darker and rougher than Kodachrome. The same film stock was used by STV for crime shows. By the time they were serving up the haggis, I half expected some police detective to burst in through the kitchen and warn them that it was only 70% sheep and 30% some missing person :laugh_at:
