...canned mushrooms. Straight from the can, with a fork.
I know, they're nothing but rubbery sodium shaped like a mushroom slice, but I love them so much. I love all types of fresh mushrooms too, and these taste nothing like those, but it doesn't matter. I dislike all other types of canned vegetable, but for some reason, I can't resist the plasticky salty allure of the canned 'shroom.
My husband makes brussel sprouts that are delicious. I don't understand why everyone things they are awful. They are the traditional xmas vegetable in many families in the UK.
Most people hate brussels sprouts as they are generally grossly overcooked and underseasoned.
Many of our friends gross out when we eat smoked oysters right out of the can and put them on crackers.
Also gross people out when we eat escargot and we LOVE escagot!
A friend of mine used to eat a strange sandwich that consisted of sliced boiled potatoes with ketchup.

i posted in another thread i was at a dim sum place and they had dishes of a seaweed salad. these are bright green, mixture of textures of green / different seaweed, a touch of sweetness and pickled vinagar tasting - very good. they have this at asian buffets and sushi buffet restaurants. my mom makes a killer seaweed soup - korean style.
