As a Registered, Certified Korean™, I have eaten more disgusting things than you can count, more spicy things than you can count, and more delicious things than you can count. The food I most abhor(but can eat a bowlful of anyways, because I'm like that) is a Korean soup composed of spinach, and the inside of a cow's stomach and small intestine. Notice the difference: the insides only. As in, half-digested grass.
What kinds of food repulses you?
I exist! I am a pedant! I have a foreboding signature!

Hello, Curuinor, my name is milum and I live in the southeastern part of the United States and we all eat hog jowls, possum, chitlins, and grits; but the folks over in Mississippi and down in Lousiana eat worse. They have a saying, they say, "what floats is boat and what moves is food" but being taciturn they rarely say their old saying.
However we don't eat hunting dogs (except in emergencies), we worship them. And yes, you are welcome for thanking us for saving South Korea from the commies.
What are the strange names of the strange foods that you eat?

When my wife was pregnant she ate this stuff called "White Jellied Fungus." It looks a lot like mucous. I also do not like kidneys which my wife loves. (I love livers, though.) And there's this thing my father in law used to eat that I think was a sea cucumber or a sea slug or something...that was probably the grossest thing i ever put in my mouth.

Hmm, I like liver, blood sausage, and chicken feet (though goose feet are better). I've eaten horse meat and liked it. I love Korean food, especially the little side dishes that accompany the meal. Kimchi, those tiny dried fishes, and even the agar with fish sauce. While I like the small tripes in Vietnamese pho, I've never much cared for the larger tripes that my grandmother cooked and my family all seemed to love. But most of all, as a linguist, I love the Korean writing system, hangul. King Sejong the Great and his band of experts did a great job. Welcome aboard, Curuinor.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

I've not come up against any food that repulsed me Curuinor.
There are things that I've tasted that I didn't like, but I'm pretty game to taste anything once. Well, four times actually. I find it usually takes four times to be sure that your really dislike something.
Sushi is something I can skip, for example. I know it is very fashionable, and many people like it, but it does absolutely nothing for me. I've had it five times to date, since people keep telling me, "oh, it's just because you've been to a bad sushi place - you have to come with me to MY sushi place and you'll see it's great" But nope - still don't like it.

Our whole family loves sushi. It's a big reward for our family to go to a sushi place.
The way you feel about sushi is how I feel about okra (and religion for that matter). Especially being from a southerly direction, people are incredulous when you tell them you don't like okra. "Oh, you just haven't had it the right way." Don't like sweet potato pie either, or plain old sweet potatoes.

Okra? Is that the white, runny, pasty stuff you get for breakfast? It's got little round lumps in it.
EDIT: Sorry, I just realized it's "grits" I was thinking about. I'll have to go look up okra.

Grits I love. Okra is God's gift to the garden slug. I'm sure it's what slugs eat to get their texture and mucous coating.

Fal: Slightly OT but at the urging of my eclectic No. 1 Son Lee, at age 75 I deigned to sample sushi. It is delicious. However, still don't eat it as I'm too old to conquer my preconceptions
But still haven't tried beef ice cream
