There's nothing like a controversial food to split marriages and divide nations.

One person's dog steak is another's foie gras. And one person's foie gras is another's durian.

Whether it's about belief systems and principles, or simply what makes your tongue twist and your stomach flip, we want to know: what foods would you never eat?

Take a look at some obvious contenders for foods some love and others hate -- then head to our Facebook polland tell us about the dishes you can't stomach. 

Dog meat

 

foods we love to hate
I am not what I wear.
It dates to the ancient Romans -- dogs have provided both friendship and nutritional sustenance to humans throughout history.

 

Chinese and Vietnamese are the most active dog eaters today. While dog meat enjoys a following in South Korea as well, it's not technically legal there, although enforcement is loose.

Most Western countries see dog-eating as barbaric, but some rural cantons in Switzerland are known to enjoy pooches on plates.

Why dog meat is loved: Hindus see cows as holy, nomads see horses as friends, vegetarians feel for all animals -- the line between livestock and pets is very fine and very culturally specific. So who's to say that dog eaters are barbaric? 

Dog meat is also believed to have medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine, and fans say eating it makes them feel invincible.

Why dog meat is hated: It's hard to imagine slaughtering your own childhood playmate and serving it at the dining table.
