Cake is the work of God ?



And then there is this..




I like Chocolate cakes.. but I LOVE Christmas cake...I would bake one each year if and when I can... I even made  one of the layers of my wedding cake a large fruit cake... Many loved it..  I think it is a matter of ones taste in cakes

Ludefisk. It really isn't even food if you ask me. Only the Swedes would take a perfectly good piece of fish, soak it in drain cleaner for a while (lye), then soak it in ice water for a few days then serve it. It turns into fish jello which is possibly still poisonous. It's REVOLTING! My mother in law was Icelandic, this nastiness was a Christmas favorite of hers.

Also compliments of my Icelandic mother in law... curdled spoilt milk, dressed with fresh sheeps blood. I do NOT EVEN want to know where she managed to find sheeps blood in Seattle! I couldn't even look at it.

And lastly, the same woman made orange jello with a pretty sour cream ribbon... when curious about the brown bits in it... we discovered it was ... ground beef. At least it wasn't spoiled, poisonous or uncooked.

Thanks GOD I'm divorced and don't have to endure those family dinners anymore.

I DO like celery, so there... I happen to HATE Ludfisk... eat Ludfisk just once, and you'd think celery tastes like a delicious bag of Skittles.

My favorite way to eat celery,is lovely crisp stalks of celery,with hot salsa. Totally hits the spot as a snack.

As for gross foods,NATTO ! hands down .Serious grossness.
I also hated raw shrimp and crab . All of these were in Japan mind you.Yuk Yuk Yuk .

I love Italian style spicy tripe tho .The Spanish make it a similiar way .

My kung fu teacher,spent a lot of time in China.Like Beijing and shanghai ,and he ate snake and pan fried scorpions there. Serious gross.

This:



It's water chestnut cake that I ordered at a restaurant in Chicago's Chinatown. I can stomach almost anything, I love squid, octopus, eel, tons of stuff like that. But this was so difficult to eat. I like water chestnuts so I figured it would be good. It smelled fantastic, and was basically just the chestnuts along with sugar and caramel. But the texture was so gelatinous and weird, it was basically lukewarm jello that wiggled and didn't taste like much. I ate it all though because the rest of the meal and atmosphere was lovely.

Other than that, mushrooms. I can't and won't eat them.

Have you ever had it cooked? you've possibly eaten it without knowing, it's used with onions, peppers etc in many dishes particularly Cajun food.
