Blue cheese has amazing tangy umami brilliance. Mixed into a white sauce, it can elevate a dish.
The smell of mushrooms cooking in butter, blitzed into a sauce, they can add so much to a dish. Even if you can’t eat them whole, they can add to a meal.
Have you tried caramelised pineapple with chilli and mint? Pure heaven.
Blue cheese isn't just cheese that has been allowed to rot until it turns blue. They specifically inject an edible blue fungus (a member of the penicillin family, penicillium roqueforte).
A Russian dish, called Kholodets, is the vilest thing I have ever eaten. Served as a New Year's 'treat', it typically bits of fish in cold aspic. It is a shivering jelly without flavour, a tasteless abomination.
I once had a cold chicken noodle soup thing in North Korea which consisted of cold brown liquid with the WHOLE chicken laid across the bowl. Was a delicacy and highly prized. The chicken looked like it had fallen in the soup and drowned. It was not great.
I was listening to a really interesting History Extra podcast about food history and it was saying how utterly bland modern food is cf how it was spiced and flavoured in the past.
Andouillette - I had to Google it the last time it came up. Why are we still talking about this particular abomination? It makes me want to vomit just thinking about it.
The OP is the single wrongest thing ever posted on ROF. Nurses called.
Wouldn’t call it an abomination, but I had abalone last week for the first time I can remember, and how the fook is that considered a delicacy srsly. It has the consistency of calmari but tastes really squishy. What’s the point

I had something similar in China. Jellyfish encased in jelly. No flavour. Jellyfish surprisingly tough. A plate of stinking, aged tofu on the side. I'm not a fussy eater at all, but I could see no redeeming features to this dish.

Andouillette is monstrously vile.
Tuxford & Tebbutt is outstanding among stiltons and cheese generally. Mushrooms are fine as are pineapples. Cottage cheese is rank.

I agree on the cheese. What other food do people eat that they have deliberately allowed to rot until it turns blue. It's disgusting.
Other items that are equally abhorrent: Kidneys, stomach linings, feet, and gizzards.

You get much more umami (mono sodium glutamate) in parmesan than you do in stilton.

There's not much that makes me want to vom but - apart from the usual no-go list like chicken feet and pig snout - on the list are:

horseradish
beetroot

Horseradish is lush and beetroot on a burger is possibly Australia's best contribution to the world of food.

Mushrooms are fungi; all fungi are vile with the occasional exception of truffles.
Mould in a blue cheese is perfectly acceptable; see also penicillin.

No, apparently not! The historian dispels some of the food myths. It was really interesting if that’s your bag

Pineapple as a meat tenderiser works very well
have shared this tip before but, chop one up (take leafs off but keep skin), chuck it in a blender and make it into a soup
pour into bowl and dump your meat (probably only worth it with steak) in it for no more than 40-45 mins, rinse, pat dry, cook

Yeah. It’s the enzymes in it. Same ones that make your tongue itch when you eat pineapple. It’s eating you back! Nomnomnom.

You have successfully made pineapple even wronger than it was to start with.

MSG is not the same thing as umami. Classic food myth. Msg does occur naturally in most cheese though and enhances umami flavour.

Remarkably, nobody has yet managed to name a food I have actually tried that I dislike.
Ive no idea what andouillette is.
Things I don’t especially like although they don’t disgust me:
- thick crust pie pastry, congratulations you have encased your nice beef stew in cardboard, well done. NB DOES NOT APPLY TO COLD PORK PIES.
- things that combine bread or pastry with chocolate
- aubergine unless fried until it’s soggy as fook and heavily spiced. particularly aubergine in large pieces

To be fair that's sugar and fruit with pastry which is not as good as a pain au chocolat with just two sticks of dark chocolate in a croissant.

I'm afraid to say I'm an andouillette lover. Sadly unavailable where I am.
I do not like berries combined with chocolate though. In particular, chocolate coated strawberries need to go.
