Its really a weird phenomena the way different people find certain tastes good or bad. If I taste something with even the slightest bit of horseradish in it, I start to gag. I don't know if I'm allergic or just really don't like it, but I honestly cannot think of a worst taste to me. I can taste the smallest amount and know its in there.
There's things I dislike, like green peas & asparagas, but that's just not the same. I could choke those down out of politeness. I have an even more intense dislike for seafood, but I think I could make myself eat it in extreme circumstances (like being on Survivor or something). But the thought and look of seafood disgusts me as well as the taste. I've always wondered if its some weird cannibalism thing since I'm a Pisces. I don't know, but crawfish and lobster (don't read any further if you have a weak stomache, seriously) reminds me of roaches, I guess because of the whole shell thing. And when I think of fish I think of how I read that they get worms in them.
I know this is stupid superficial stuff that you could apply to any type of meat, but if I think too much about meat in general it makes me sick too. My brother (as a typical annoying preteen) would take a bite of chicken and go, "Ummmmm, I'm eating MUSCLE" just to gross me out. He also turned his eyelids inside out and chased me around, he also chasd me around with grasshoppers, which according to my mom I've been terrified of since birth. But don't be too hard on him, it was typical little brother stuff. Now he catches the grasshoppers for me. I actually remember years and years ago when he got up in the middle of the night, on a school night, to catch this cricket that kept ATTACKING me! I swear, as soon as I turned the light out, it would jump on me! It was freaking me out so bad I was in tears. But he never made one complaint. He just kept trying until he caught it. That's a strangely good memory. Its weird how I can handle snakes and rodents, but not bugs. I'd like to figure out the psychology behind that someday.
