I don't know if a high score or a low score is good but I scored a big fat zero. Heck I actually like all the stuff on here. (except raw fish)?????ÿ

I could eat nearly everything on that list (not sure about snails, having never encountered them on a plate), but would prefer an alternative to some, such as oysters, liver, crab, shrimp, and tea.

I tend to skip cucumbers because I burp for hours  and find mushrooms to be useless although not bad.

I wonder why Vegemite didn't make the list.

I'm not going to win - there are a few things on the list to which  I am violently allergic.

All good with the rest.

Though I wonder how you 'eat' tea?

It all looks good since I didn't see beets on the list.  You could chase me to Antarctica with a bowl of beets.

No tofu, oysters, or raw fish... I can stomach everything else, including the beets (middle of the second column), sorry Unc..

Middle of the page, right below milk.

I can eat all that stuff, some I don't care for much. I prefer oysters cooked. Raw is just a salty booger, and the uncooked stomach contents of a filter feeder give me pause.

I'm persnickety.  I "scored" 16.

Eleven that I would choose not to eat.

Eating snails is like soaking a large eraser (typically used by Kindergarten students) in some sort of garlic butter sauce for a week and then attempting to eat it. Politely, in front of people you wish to impress.

One item not specifically on the list that you will never catch me eating is cow tongue.

I must be picky.  None of the 'sea food' for me crabs oysters, etc...  But I do like fish (cooked!).  All the vegetables are great EXCEPT for beets, you might as well eat a mouthful of dirt the way they taste.  I'll take a pass on moldy cheese as well.

I do not consider myself a foodie, but there is really nothing on that list that I can not gag down if it is prepared right. I hate zucchini, for example, but love a chocolate zucchini cake. The idea of escargo is revolting, but it tastes a lot like mushrooms, to me.

Beets seem to get more criticism than I expected.  Yeah, buttered beets are nothing special and maybe even taste like dirt. But prepared with a sweet and sour sauce they are great.

I score zero as well.

Eggplant near the bottom of my list. "the grey vegetable"

Beets are good in many preparations. Roasted is best for me.

And I like to know where my raw oysters grew up.

@bill93 Bill, I'm not so sure it's the beets that taste great in that recipe.  It might be the 3/4 cup of sugar!

Eleven? Jezeus, I thought a 2 or so. I guess there's no sense in asking you if you ever rolled a joint out of catnip after seeing how the kitty behaved, is there?

I actually enjoy beets a lot, although I have to admit there have been a few morning after’s when I panicked that something was horribly wrong, before remembering that I had beets with supper.

I have had Brussell Sprouts just once( I was being polite at a friends dinner table) since leaving my mother's table.

@flga-2-2 

"I guess there's no sense in asking you if you ever rolled a joint"  The following words were unneeded.  The answer is the same......NO

Believe it or not.  I have never participated in such behavior.  Ever.  Have no plan to start.  Some may not believe it but there truly was a decade known as the 1970s.  Many who lived through it have no memory of that or one filled with skyscraper-sized shrimp flying overhead in search of fire-breathing cactus plants to eat.
