Thanks for all the entries from the Mottos Giveaway... there were some really inspirational ones, adn others that I liked but still had some misgivings about. However, we all find different things inspiring or important, so what I think doesn't matter!
Also, I'm afraid that due to a busy week, I wasn't able to upvote and comment on every entry before the time limit for the bounty ran out, so I will be sending out the bounty equivalent manually in a moment to all the people who missed out due to my slowness...
Anyway, this week... I'm talking about foods! Now, finding your favourite foods is relatively easy. In fact, I remember back in my far mists of Steemit time that one of my first (if not the VERY first) SBI giveaway posts was about making your favourite last meal! However, do you know what your LEAST favourite food is?
My Question
- What is your LEAST favourite food or foods?
My sample answer
CHEESE! Well, more specifically, any of the "gourmet" sorts of cheeses. I can't handle them... they taste (and smell like) spew to me, and the thought of walking into a Cheese shop fills me with dread. I just don't understand when people talk about how great the smell is, and how the stinkier it is, the better. No, the stinkier it is ... the stinkier it is! What the hell is wrong with you people!
My kids at the moment are hating on Brussel Sprouts. I have to say, I've started liking it though. However, I'm not sure that I would have when I was a kid...
Rules
- Upvote if you want, it increases the payout and then I can hopefully sponsor more people.
- Resteem is NOT neccessary, but the more people see this, the more the people will be likely to be sponsored.
- In the comments, answer as best as you can the questions that are posed in the "My Questions"!
- I have added a small Steem-Bounty to the post, so that everyone who replies with a valid entry will get something back. If I give your post a small upvote, it is valid (also, subscribe to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit!).
- I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in liquid SBD/STEEM. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!
- PLEASE PLEASE Don’t upvote your OWN comment. I can’t stop you doing it, but it seems to mess up the distribution of the Bounty for everyone else. If you upvote your own comment, I will consider it an invalid entry when doing the draw.
Steem Basic Income
One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a author starting out on your fresh new Steemit account, Steemit can be a daunting and lonely place to be. OFten, it can feel like you are posting into an abyss with no one listening and with no ability to grow out of the situation. A share of Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but over time cumulative support to your account to help grow you out of your initial wilderness!
With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people). OF course, this is not simply an altruistic move, as the sponsor of a Steem Basic Income share also gets a share, so it is a great way to help others whilst helping yourself!
Last week's winners
The last post paid out 0.459 SBD and 0.268 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 2 shares.
The winners by random draw are:

@knircky and @thedarkhorse, I have had this happen a couple of times where the bounty distribution goes a bit funny! Can you look into it and see if I'm doing something wrong?
Not sure, but I sent knircky a message on telegram to take a look at this.
Magic Dice has rewarded your post with a 65% upvote. Thanks for playing Magic Dice.
I will look into this, the payout seems off.
Make sure to not upvote to many people. the min payout is 0.1. We added this to avoid scammers of trying to skim parts of bounties.
So when you do a 1$ bounty you should upvote less than 10 people.
Okay, thanks for the feedback, is there anyway to up the bounty AFTER it has been posted?
I also have a strong dislike for those smelly cheeses even mature cheese yuck the smell is already awful enough, anyway another food I really don't like is mushy peas I'am ok with other greens infact I love brussels sprouts lettuce etc but mushy peas.. not even the smell.
Mushy peas again! This is a popular one... My kids also hate it... Although, I have found if they aren't cooked to death and are still firm, then they like it...

I do not like any food with added colors, flavors, gmo's, HFCS, antibiotics, pesticides or chemical additives. This means I am very limited in my choices and do not eat processed food for the most part.
I also can not eat processed food, it will let me get sick
You are not alone. But most people are not even aware this is the problem and so keep eating it.
I see Western medicine
Eat western medicine for 5-6 years
My sick Good angin bad
My friend gave me the menu.
tell I don’t to eat some thing
Maybe my sick will be good
my illness, every time I see Western medicine, I will take western medicine for about half a year~1 year later, it will good.
but it will recur after 1~2 months.
What is I can't eat ?
Margarine
Canned products
Yuck! Margarine is a terrible one and so many people think it is good for them. Organic butter all the way!
Phew, that is an exhaustive list... I'm okay with some of them, but there are definitely a few of those that I really avoid if possible!
Yes this list covers a vast swath of "food." I found out about it all in 2011 and my life has never been the same. I was so upset that everything I thought was good for me was not. And then I had to figure out how to eat the part that was left. Then I lost "half my size" at the age of 50 and have been trying to help others do the same ever since.

Anything from McDonalds or Hungry Jacks.
Those two corporations have really lowered the bar for the quality of junk food in this country. There was a time you could go to almost any fish and chip shop and get a really good hamburger but these days a lot of them have conceded defeat and their hamburgers are crap.
The thing I hate the most about McDonalds is their predatory marketing tactics where they infect young minds before the age of reason. With that in mind I implanted my own propaganda to counter the brainwashing from that stupid fucking clown. I told my kids that Ronald wipes his arse on the buns and they were genuinely scared to eat there until they were over ten years old and they still don't trust Ronald.
If I was ever driving in the car and the kids were making a ruckus I'd threaten to take them to McDonalds and they'd go silent instantly. My propaganda trumped that stupid bozo with the red hair and ridiculous shoes.
Who wants their food endorsed by a clown anyway?
LOL LOL LOL! I have nothing intelligent to add! That's the most hilarious thing I read today! I will send you a bonus SBI share at post payout for that answer!
That is brilliant. I may need to try this tactic with my three year old!!

I hate onions. So, any food that has visible onions is my least favorite food.
I like cooked onions... but the Dutch here have a habit of serving up RAW onions. That I can't do...

I don't like to get the scent or taste of garlic. I would only eat (manage) such foods when there is no other option or choice. Thus, my least favorite.

Almost forgot this one! I hate the same as you.... Cheese...🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Only the smell or taste and my appetite is gone from this disgusting food.
Even when I eat some chips with a cheese flavor I can't handle it and got the 🤢 face again. People always say that there ain't that much cheese in it or that you can't taste it. But I always do...
Walking around the city, seeing a cheese shop I try to avoid it by walking a few blocks around it... My GF always laughs at me because of this but that smell... Same at the market, just can't handle the smell there.
But don't look at the negatives there are positive sides to, because cheese is everywhere around us, I can always ask for food without cheese. For example by a McDonald's that would mean they create a fresh burger for you instead of a burger from underneath the heathers 🍔😎
I'm the same... the markets are the worst, as there is no way to keep away from the smell! At least ina shop, it stays inside the shop!

Without a doubt, my least favourite food would have to be stale white bread, that is unless it's covered in stinky, mouldy cheese with a gherkin on top. My preference is always for mixed grain loaves of bread but I also love rye and caraway or pumpkin and so on.
I just learnt to grill stake bread with a bit of olive oil, it makes it relatively edible again! I might skip the cheese though...

I am saddened by your dislike. More cheese for me, though. Food that I don't like? I've begun to dislike food that has too little taste for the quantity. Like a poorly made pasta. I love pasta, but if it's, like, a bland artificial mac and cheese... like the kind that gets made for kids... blech.
Have the cheese! Have it all!
Yes, over the last few years, we've moved towards eating less, but eating better quality. Somehow, it makes eating less of a chore and more interesting!
Our kids like helping to make pasta, and they have a nice brocoli/cheese/anchovy sauce that they are quite fond of!

My least favorite food would be anything made from non-human animals. The thought of consuming the flesh of what had previously been a living entity deeply sickens me. Similarly, dairy also is incredibly gross, once I learned about the usually horrific processes that go into stealing it from mother cows/ other mammals.
I realize this is a bit more broad than what you were likely asking for, but since going vegan I've yet to find any plants that I don't like the taste of. I eat raw broccoli, brussel sprouts, celery, kale. I imagine there are some plants out there I won't like, but I haven't found them yet.
Ha ha, so human makes are okay to eat? Sorry! Couldn't resist, it was the first thought that jumped into my mind..
I'm afraid I am still a meat eater, but I try to eat better meats and less quantity. It's not perfect, but I hope it is in the right direction... Likely, in centuries to come... The idea of eating meat will be considered dark age thinking!
Well, I still think no, but I've yet to decide where I stand on the idea of consensual cannibalism. Like, on the one hand, there doesn't seem to be anything inherently morally wrong with it. But it's very very gross, and I don't think I'd ever partake unless I was literally dying.
Sustainable progress is very important when it comes to changing dietary practices. Getting to where I am now was a journey of many years and a lot of introspection on why I ate the way I did.
Hopefully that will be the case. Have you heard of lab grown meats? It seems like the sci-fi novels where future humans on space stations are eating grown meat got it right again.
Yes, lab grown meats seems to be at least the interim step (or long term...). You wouldn't need to give up what you like about meat, but it is done in an ethical way....

Baked liver! The texture , the color, the smell
( with or without onions ) I think its disgusting!
So in My house When I cook No organ meat ever
And for that matter All fermented food, the smell is not do-able !
Gr.
Britt
I once accidentally ordered a whole plate of this (liver...). It was a struggle to get through! I like a little bit of it (duck liver is the best!)... but more than a few bites and it is too much!
It is very good for you, but i dont like the texture the smell and the idea hahahah

Just an FYI, this really isn't an issue anymore. The author's vote counts for 95% of the bounty and the community can only effect 5% of the bounty. People self voting no longer has much of an impact. 5% of the 1.0 steem is .05 steem split between everyone who got a vote from someone other then the author.
As for a food I can't stand...peas. Have hated them ever since I was a kid. Dislike the taste and the texture (of cooked peas)
Ah... It must be something else that is occasionally screwing up the distribution! Anyway, I might keep the rule in to encourage a bit of community spirit.. Bidbots on comments have started appearing as well...
Peas! That seems be a common one... Often it is because they are cooked to death, mushy mushy paste.
What I noticed with PIFC is if I wait and upvote everyone the same day it helps keep the payout about the same. If I do say a 2c vote on everyone as they come in the value of a vote compared to the rshares needed changes constantly. This can lead to some wide spreads if the market is going up or down a lot over a given week.
Okay, that's a good idea... the problem was that the payout was going to a single person sometimes...not so much the distribution sizes....
Ok then you might be running into your vote not being large enough to actually be counted by the steem blockchain. There is a rshares tax on every vote cast across steem which might have effected your payouts if you used a tiny vote one week.
You are currently at 865sp voting strength after all in/out delegations right now, but if that was lower before and you used a fraction of a percent upvote that could have been your issue.
Either way keep in mind how the rshares tax per vote effects what you are doing. the first 50 Million rshares is removed from each vote and votes with less then 50 million rshares are rendered a 0 for both the author and for curation.
You had a 0.75% vote cast recently (I just looked at steemd to see if this was your issue) and that was worth 175 million rshares, really small vote to start with, but worse almost 1/3 is going to be taxed at payout and it will be reduced to 125 M rshares.
If you cast a vote at .25% and your VP is lower there is a chance that it's not being counted at all.
Now that is just for the Steem Blockchain. I am not sure if there are different rules in place by @steem-bounty in how they process low value votes.
I also don't know if there has been any adjustments to the 50m rshares on the blockchain since HF20, but haven't seen any talk about raising it (or lowering it).
That would have a trail vote. All the votes I use for comments are at 4 or 5 percent... I was considering removing myself from trails, but I just don't have the time for manual curation all the time, so I figured I would just eat that tax!
hmmm....then I really have no idea...lol. If you see it happen again make sure to let me know. I'll get knirky to look at it.
With a vote that small on a trail you aren't getting curation, it's just to small. I don't get curation on a lot of my trail votes worth 175M vests. Might as well stop those votes and up your other votes. Voting less for more is way more effective IMO.

Eggplant! I always think it smells good, but I can't stand the texture no matter how it's prepared!
Posted using Partiko Android
Have you tried a smoky babaganoush?
No, but the "ganoush" part sounds like the texture I am talking about, hehe.
I had crispy fried slices of eggplant once as an appetizer and liked the first slice, but soon the smush factor returned and I could not tolerate it.
It's remarkable to me only because I like a lot of different foods, but this one item just automatically rejected even if the preparation is appealing at first.

Great suggestion! That is quite a great use of eggplant! You should enter for the Least favourite though!
Weirdly enough, I'm the opposite with eggplant! I hate the smell of the cooking, but I love the eating part!

You don't like cheese😨 that's a bit weird for someone from europe😅 just give it to me😉 I think you won't like durian too. What is my least favour foods😯 uhmm..maybe anything from raw fishes and raw meats😊, like sushi. I can eat anything depends on situation and I can eat anything to survive😆
Well, I do have Asian background.... So that is more common there! Durian, I think I have tried that... It is pretty stinky?
I love some types of raw fish... Sushi and sashimi I can do... Dutch herring, no way!
Durian is stinky for you but amazing fragrant for me @bengy 😉 i love durian smell more than french perfume 😂😂 at least durian and cheese are less stinky than raw fishes for me.

Raw tomatoes. I hate them - but they hate me even more. I've never liked them and, even since I was little, I spit them out if they get in my mouth. But- at a restaurant in my 20s, I got a piece in my salad that was hidden. Not wanting to be disgusting, I didn't spit- I swallowed.
I went orange, my ears buzzed and I was unconscious for the next 6 hours. Turns out- me and raw tomatoes really don't mix well!
Evie x
So you are really allergic to tomatoes? Or were you trying to make a point?
I have a friend that has a similar reaction to capsicums (paprika, bell peppers for the non English speakers...). It is quite difficult for her to find food when eating out, it is really common, just like tomatoes!

Cellery. And you know what? It's the least liked food amongst adults in the Western world. I believe about 30% of adults doesn't like Cellery. So since it's such a 'conventional' answer I'll also add that I don't like poach egg because of their texture. I just can't eat it. Nothing to do with taste but I almost cry when thinking about it. So there ya have it. Poached egg and some cellery and you show me you don't really like me :')
I love poached eggs... I used to love fried eggs... but then I got old and my stomach decided it didn't like the oiliness..
Anyway, I was listening to a podcast a while back that was about celery.... and how it used to be a luxury food that was only for the super rich! Weird.... (I don't like it though....).

I will eat most things but for sure the one that comes to mind that I never got into is tripe.
1.the first or second stomach of a cow or other ruminant used as food.
2.nonsense; rubbish.
See even if you google it the second definition explains it all. I grew up in a Mexican household so this was normal to show up. I could never really enjoy it. But you eat what grandma cooks and you like it hat was the rule. Most nights it was easy but on soup night things got interesting.
Tripe is one of these things where if I don't know if I'm eating it, I like it! But if I know... Bleah!
It is the same with tongues...

My Least Favourite Food is dried oysters. My mom liked to stew it together with congee for great nutrition. It is said to be cooling for the body, anti-oxidant, and many older generation loved it. They liked it stewed with vegetables, nutrional soup and braised. The price per kilogramme is very expensive, almost RM300/kg (USD75.00/kg) according to the grades given to the quality.
But for me, I like raw oysters with lemon or some dressing. I hate hate hate dried oysters in my congee, in my soup, in everything!!! The taste is bitter plus sour. After 1 bite, no more. No more!!!

Haha... I can't stand FRESH oysters! It is just like eating snot! I can't say that I have tried dried oysters though... I would have thought that it would be similar!
Nope... Don't... Some cooks in Asia stew the dried oysters to dilute the taste into the soup, congee or stew... I'd like to know how other countries do it...
