I Would Eat Anything For Sure But I Won't Eat That

Mike Harding mentions Tripe, Cow Heel Pie and Peas in "Rochdale Cowboy"

In Lancashire where I come from there are some awful foods such as:

🌭🌯🍗🍨🍽️🥘🥙🦐🥝🧀

As A Child I Told The Market Man

That My Mother Had Just Served Me Worms

It Was Tinned Spaghetti From A Can

That Awful Food Made My Stomach Turn

🍽️

But There Are Some Foods So Horrible

That I Could Not Ever Countenance

In Lancashire They're Palatable

But Tripe Is Just One That Disgusts Me

🍽️

Could I Try Pig's Trotter? No Way Man

Or Maybe A Sheep's Head? Disgusting

Black Pudding Congealed Blood, Not A Fan

Then Just As Bad, We Have White Pudding

🍽️

These Are Some Things I Will Never Eat

Even If You Gave Them Me For Free

This was written in response to a writing prompt by Paul Stewart and Donna Renee: Write a poem, letter, story, etc. about a food or beverage you strongly dislike.

My mum loved black pudding, but it turns my stomach.

However, this particular delicacy is gorgeous.

I also love honeydew melons but the seeds are disgusting.
