There are few foods I won't eat. I may like some better than others, but for the most part I will at least try most things. . .except: Mountain Oysters (Pig Testicles) I refuse to eat them.
Now condiments, Mayonnaise I can't stand the smell, the texture, the taste. If I have something that requires Mayo, I will usually substitute either sour cream, or plain yogurt. And Burger King, No mayo on my Whopper please. Arby's-When I say no Mayo, I don't mean a smige, I don't mean drown it, I mean NO mayo. Did I mention I can't stand Mayonnaise? | ||

I hate canned green peas. But I don't mind fresh or frozen ones. When I was young my father used to give me an "extra helping" of them just so "I'd get used to them". It didn't work. I'm not big on Rhubarb either. | ||

Red, green, yellow orange, etc peppers. Despise isn't a strong enough word for how I feel about them. The flavor, smell is just vile. I also hate uncooked celery. Especially if it's an ingredient in a salad of some sort. Cooked I don't mind. | ||

 I hate
Vinegar and it's terrible smell, I can stand it in some sauces or salad dressings but just smelling it drives me crazy. Even if someone just uses vinegar diluted in water to wash windows... I can't stand the smell of silicone sealer while it cures as it often contains acetic acid and smell just as bad as vinegar...
Milk, I like most dairy products but not milk itself. Not even in cereals or coffee...
Mayonnaise, I like eating eggs but I hate mayonnaise.
I also don't like ketchup or yellow mustard or relish, when I eat fast food in restaurants, I try to get some kind of BBQ sauce instead!
Mushrooms, I think my mom scared me with mushrooms when I was a kid as she insisted about not eating those outside (apparently, there are more chances of being poisoned by eating other plants than mushrooms!). I still can't even touch them!! I don't like their smell when they're being cooked either.
Buckwheat, it smells bad and tastes bad!
Watermelon or most melons or large fruits (but I love Pineapple, I could eat a whole pineapple and still want more!).
Liver, almost as bad as mushrooms!
There are a few more things that I don't like but I can still eat them!
Now that's not considered food by most people but just seeing it almost makes me sick!
LOL!

Smelly cheese
like Camembert, Brie, goat cheese or Feta. Poached, softboiled or fried eggs, scrambled or omelet I like (deviled eggs or egg salad sandwiches or OK once in a while), Oysters, crab (except crabcakes), clams (except in Chowder), cooked broccoli (raw is OK), raw fish and tofu, eck!!! Organ meats, except once in blue moon calf or chicken liver, if its prepared well, but I don't like to eat it any more as its really not good for you.

I am one of the anti-egg brigade. When diguised with butter, sugar, flour, flavorings--then, ok. I also am against sweet potatoes. Do not care for liver. I have become allergic to chocolate, much to my dismay. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

3. As I've gotten older, I've noticed I like eggs less and less. I still eat them once in a while, but they need to be scrambled, over hard, in omelette form or deviled. Don't like runny yolks and if any of the "white" isn't completely cooked, EWWW GROSS!
However, I like (or am more tolerant of) most mushrooms found in Asian cuisine, i.e. enoki, shiitaki, oyster and straw. And while this isn't a mushroom, I also really like cloud ear fungus, an edible jelly fungus most often found in Chinese cooking. YUM! (photo 1)
5. Foong Jow (Chicken feet) as found on the "Dim Sum" menu at Chinese restaurants. Sorry, but I don't see any reason to enter this dragon! (photo 2) This post was last edited 06/24/2015 at 20:23 | ||

A few I hate:
1. Mayonnaise, Hate the taste and would rather have a sandwich dry. Miracle Whip and other "salad dressing" products are even worse. This includes dressings made with the vile slop. YUCK!!!
2. Green Peppers, The fastest way to ruin a perfectly good dish is to add those revolting things. I will eat them raw in a salad though. 3. Raw onions, I cook with onions but can't stand the texture of them raw. 4. Asparagus, Good for garbage can filler only. 5. Peas, unless it's split pea and ham soup you can keep em. 6. Canned Tuna, I can't understand how anyone can eat something that stinks that bad. I can only eat tuna as sushimi. Same goes for salmon. 7. Flake coconut, I'll eat the fresh stuff but those white shreds of hell make me sick. WK78 | ||

I'm very lucky... Because I like absolutely everything there's to be eaten, from land, sea, air, whatever. Here's a picture of one of the two King Crabs my wife cooked for this last Father's Day lunch. It was at least a six pound beast, no kidding! Emilio

Interesting topic. My hates:
1. Liver (and offal in general) 2. Oysters/Clams 3. Anchovies 4. Fatty fish (mackerel,...) Otherwise I'm pretty omnivorous. I actually enjoy durian (a durian smoothie is really delicious). Mushrooms, yum (raw or cooked--I'll happily polish off a tray of mushrooms nibbling during the day). | ||

Interesting thread! I am amazed at some of the common food in question like peppers, mayo, onion in whatever capacity. For me,
1 No meat parts other than chicken, beef, pork, fish in the form to which we are accustom. With the exception of beef liver. 2 No runny eggs. They must be cooked all the way. 3 Anchovies 4 Peanut butter! Nothing in it, or taste like it! Just nasty all around! 5 there are a few things that i dont care for but will tolerate. 6 Bananas other than the real thing. No flavored stuff, candy, cake, or anything like that.
Thats all i can think of for now? | ||

I'm lucky I must come from another planet... there is no 'regular' food that I cannot stand! I don't think I could handle the warm monkey brains à la Indiana Jones, though. Must be that slavic 'You eating what is on plate or you getting to taste of back of hand' food ethic I was raised with... LOL
I remember as a brat I hated strong-flavoured veggies like cabbage, cooked broccoli (overcooked if my mother was on KP duty), and brussells sprouts. But when I tried them again in my early 20s I liked them.
I do not care for artificial flavours in baked goods or confections though... That's why I like to make my own using real vanilla or other extracts. | ||

Wow, I thought *I* was a picky eater. If I added all the above exclusions together I'd starve in less than a week.
Now, making a kid eat liver once a week can get you arrested for child abuse. If you did it to me I'd just kill you. Mom ruined all manner of dishes with raw onions. What, she couldn't spell SAUTEE? WTF, she took French. A southerner who hates ketchup? I thought there were more southerners who hate the ABSENCE of ketchup. Mayo doesn't make me puke. Just makes me want to. I like lobster but I can't afford it. I like fried shrimp, but then I also like fried okra and onion rings (see above). For that matter, I liked airline food back when there was such thing. Love fried fish sandwiches (pollock, cod) but nothing that actually TASTES like fish. Ahh! School cafeteria food. How could anyone eat anything that smelt like that? I ate rolls and corn and chocolate milk. But wait, survey says those are pukeworthy too. How can anyone (not suffering anaphylaxis) hate peanut butter? Let's do dinner. Have your dietitian call mine. Shouldn't take them more than a month to sort. | ||

 There are a few foods, that I don't care for, but if I'm at someone's house and they serve it, I will eat it. With the exception of macaroni and cheese. I will gag on that.
As a kid, I never cared for it. One summer while visiting my grandparent's, my grandmother made it and wouldn't let me leave the table till it was all gone. I tried it once a number of years ago and almost puked up everywhere. Needless to say, I won't even touch it now. | ||

> School cafeteria food. How could anyone eat anything that smelt like that?
I wondered that, too. I don't think I did school lunch but once, and that was at junior high level where there were options other than disgusting glop. Food? Or toxic waste? You be the judge! Actually I now realize I did lunch a few times in elementary school, but that would not have been regular lunch. Say, an outside barbecue, with the principal grilling hamburgers. Or, of course, pizza. One interesting quirk with my school district was that the kitchens really didn't actually cook much. Apparently a lot of stuff was made in one kitchen (at my junior high, I was told) in industrial sized quantities, and shipped out to the other schools where it would presumably get reheated. Thus, one would effectively with many things be eating leftover grade. Some things are better the second day--a Julia Child stew, perhaps--but not school cafeteria cuisine. I have an unfinished novel I started during the late real Maytag era, and the action largely takes place on a private college campus. I had fun with scenes referencing the cafeteria and how bad it is, and how the characters cope. | ||

I'm not sure what I despise. Despise to the point of "I eat it I puke". Despise to the point of being held at gun point. "Eat this, or I'll shoot you!" And I'd say: "You might as well shoot now, and we'll get it over with!"
I hated milk when I was a child. But it's been years since I went near the stuff; no idea how I'd react. I can stand froth on cappuccino, but not wild about it. Also the type of milk might make a difference. I had raw milk once as a child--despite all the whining out there about how "dangerous" it is--and it was much better than the crap usually poured into my glass. Canned tuna is another thing I hated, and it seems to me it made me gag more than once. I was forced (well not forced, but felt obligated under circumstances) to have something with tuna a year or so back, and managed to choke it down. I didn't precisely gag, but it was not pleasant. On the other hand, I'd be willing to try fresh tuna--someone told me that fresh tuna is much different. I'm not into meat in general. After a certain point, my family never really had much meat that was just cooked meat. To save money, my mother bought cheap stuff, that got cooked as part of something else. So...I have little real interest in a thick steak. (But don't necessarily despise it, and would be curious to try 100% grass fed, locally produced steak.) I'm not much into seafood. I will eat fish, although not often due to price. A lot of fish I don't like, but that might be preparation. I have no real interest to try sushi. Clams I eat only in chowder; no interest in trying them otherwise. No interest in oysters. Processed meats are another thing I mostly am happy doing without. At one point, we were caring for my grandmother, who just loved that crap. We cooked it sometimes to make her happy. I hated mainstream sausages--no taste, all grease. I privately called one common brand "Greaseshire Farms." And ring of bologna I strongly disliked, but could choke down if covered with something. And I'll be happy to avoid Spam, too. I suppose a lot of vegetables could come under fire, but it would be more about a specific preparation. Like mentioned above, I hate canned peas. Frankly, I wonder why we even continue making them. Frozen peas are so much better. I don't like overcooked vegetables, either. And then I really don't like standard cheap bread. I don't quite despise it, but it's another thing I'd be happy to never eat again. | ||

It was nice seeing some comment about eggs! I can't say I despise them, but don't really particularly like eggs. It can take me forever to use up a dozen, and there are long stretches I don't have eggs, period.
One huge headache: someone I know got into chickens, and at one point she had more eggs than she knew what to do with. I got a supply of free eggs. It was nice, at times, but it was a headache sometimes using those eggs up. And getting regularly asked: "Do you need eggs?" | ||

What interests me about milk was that it turned out that I had an allergy to it. I wonder if part of my dislike was sensing that.
Or, as I suggested to my mother once when I was about 20, was it mind over matter? I recalled learning that a classmate in elementary school was allergic to milk, and thinking "wow! what a great thing!" or something like that. And so perhaps I thought a little too hard, and my subconscious decided: "We'll make this happen! Any time he touches milk, he'll sneeze!" I know the allergy was still there when I was about 19. I attended a holiday party at a professor's house, and she served egg nog. (Grocery store stuff, and definitely not spiked). I tried it, liked it (the sugar and spices covered the milk up nicely!). Then, I started having a runny nose after the second helping... | ||

I've got something you'd all puke on but I love: Poi. Served in small quantities (so as not to waste) at all Hawaiian tourist luaus. Cooked & pounded root of taro, relative of turnip. Can't practically eat it here; negligible shelf life and nobody makes it anywhere near central TX. Make it myself out of turnips? Nope, turnips make me puke.
Not exactly food but here's something that makes me puke: All music recorded later than Hotel California. | ||

As a kid I completely hated sub sandwiches, but love them now. The parochial school I went in the late 70's & early 80's had 3 fantastic cooks similar to the ones Hans had at his elementary school. Valeria McDonald was head cook, and Doris Weinke & Marianne Henkelman were the assistants. They could work miracles with the monthly government commodities they received. Mrs McDonald baked loaves & loaves of fresh french bread every day that were out of this world delicious. Her meatloaf, chili mac, and chocolate crazy cake still make my mouth water just thinking about them. In 8th grade we could volunteer to help in the kitchen during lunch time. It was great because your lunch was free that week, and you could also get extra servings if you wanted them.
We used to joke that we ate at McDonald's every day because of the head cook's last name. | ||

The root of nearly all of my problems since day one... Virtually no food is safe around my mouth which is usually open most of the time. The first word I think I remember was my Italian relatives saying "mangia" and sticking a spoon full of something in my face. They force-fed me "pastina" with butter, all carbs and fat. In the 1950's, chubby little babies were considered cute and healthy. Fast forward to 65 years later. Fat is a sign of poor health and, at any weight, nothing is cute anymore.

 Most of y'all wouldn't eat at my house. I love to cook with every color there is of peppers as well as onion and mushrooms to liven up the meal. Try not to be dull in food preparation. Can be heavy handed with spices. Love eggs. Lots of whole wheat products as well as multigrain. I view white flour as evil and cause of so many ills. Keep skins on as much as possible. Too much good nutrients and fiber contained within. Legumes. But for what I don't like and almost hate:
Most vegetables I love. But don't like eggplant. Nor watermelon. Fish of any kind, yuck. Wild game yuck. Licorice. I don't like the spices or texture of Thai food nor Middle Eastern food. | ||

Chris, one of my coworkers hates cheese. She also does not like white meat chicken or anything that is kind of "creamy" nor Italian food. Consequently, my work group has never been invited to my house. Between all that and all but one is diabetic, no motivation to cook for them. They get offended because I never bake for them. I don't want to contribute to the delinquency of their diabetes. | ||

Some dishes that turn my stomach are: chili, chicken noodle soup, hamburger helper | ||

I forgot two major ones:
Steamed Blue Crabs:If done properly as in the Old Line State are my favorite seafood ever! IF not made in the true "Merlin" tradition they taste like the mud in Bawlmer harbor.
Crab Cakes: Don't put green peppers in them and bread them. Thats a waste of crab shit cake. Use a tried and true MD recipe and grill the cakes on a well buttered grill or fry them in the deep fryer without breading. WK78 | ||

There is really nothing I don't like except I cannot stand RAISINS--unless they're baked into something (but not bagels or store-bought bread) even though I can tolerate them in cereal ie. Raisin Bran...
I had a phase where I did not like bananas (though I loved them as a little boy, but later, stopped eating them), though I love them now as long as I have something good to eat with them.... I don't know why when I was little I didn't like MILK, after being fed it as a baby--I must have been Force-Fed, if I was in a stage where I was again circa. Kindergarten & First a Grade, then everyone left me alone & let me quit drinking it, until almost my twenties, when I just had to drink it with sweets, and DO like it...! Now, right now I am so disenchanted with MEAT! Seems as though NOBODY (my mother-in-law, in particular) will let me eat it...! There's health reasons, the Kosher vs. non-Kosher product (I can't understand why we're not allowed to eat meat that looks GOOD!, but when I see a rump roast or ham go by, at where I work at, I have to check to see if my tongue is still in my mouth) and rising costs! So I don't know where to go there... What good is having a slow-cooker or a broiler in my stove? (I ran my oven broiler with nothing under it, and the heat down there with nothing under it, but to almost burn up the stove wasn't a good thing!) So excuse my rant, here... Oh, WATERMELON! Has NO TASTE to it, but I flavor it with syrup, or at least eat it with other fruits, so I like it, after long ago, in my childhood, being asked in a surprising tone: "You don't like all-American watermelon?!"... -- Dave This post was last edited 06/29/2015 at 03:44 | ||

forgot Milk!
I like cheese, ice cream, milk shakes, yogurt, even eat cereal....but I can NOT drink MILK! The school system tried to force me to drink it when I was in kindergarten and first grade....so in first grade I started taking my own lunch and did so for the next 7 years until I started high school. HS was different, they had tea, punch, lemonade, and good old water as alternatives to MILK.

 For as long as I can remember, I can't stand watermelon. Don't know why, but I find the taste nauseating. Used to be most types of melons had similar effect, but I can tolerate cantaloupe and honeydew melon if it's perfectly ripe. Unripe, no way.
Other than that, the usual suspects:
Liver (pate is OK)
Sea urchin (disgusting)
Raw clam (cooked is OK, and I do like sushi/sashimi)
Tripe
Anchovies (not on my pizza, please)

this has got to be one of the most fun topics ever I'd better not say anything nasty like "some of you people sure are picky." "Particular" or better yet "discriminating" is probably a better choice of words. There's plenty of things I don't eat.
Raw seafood. A friend and I drove to Venice (Southern California, not that anyone would think I meant Italy) and we visited a popular sushi bar. Watching people eat raw fish made me sick. Swallowing raw oysters whole was equally nauseating. The things people put in their mouths in the name of "trendy."
I was addicted to milk and drank it like water. It's one of the many things I shouldn't have due to my diabetes. They gave us milk, pint-sized waxed cartons, in kindergarten and first grade. You lined up and got your milk and the teacher would come around and hand out graham crackers. I'd chew the corner of the carton and then stick my thumb in it. When the teacher got to my desk I'd pull out my thumb and the milk ran all over the floor. The class laughed their heads off but I was soon crossed off the milk list. I was a bad kid. We had milk delivered when I was young, about 8 quarts every other day. My mom had a crush on Louie, the attractive milkman which could explain why my brothers and I drank so much.
I love anchovies. If you're ordering a pizza with others, telling them to make it half anchovies will almost always guarantee half of the pizza will be yours.
I don't believe cauliflower or broccoli was ever intended to be eaten raw. They're delicious when cooked.
Chicken salad sandwiches are one of my favorite things (a diabetes no-no) but I hate it when people add apples, grapes, walnuts or miniature marsh mellows. I'm not a fan of savory mixed with sweet. Applesauce with pork chops, pineapple on ham...I guess that's more tradition than trendy but I'll pass. Mango chicken...it's a good thing the Colonel has passed.

Foods I like I like some foods that some people here hate. Go figure.
Broccoli: (I listed it as my favorite food on a card in the 1st grade!). My mother was very amused. I think I acquired a taste for it when my parents coaxed me to eat it by telling me I'd be like a dinosaur eating trees. After that I was hooked.
Avocados: a perfectly ripe avocado is the food of the gods. I enjoy them sliced with salt, mashed with hot sauce for salsa. I have even put them in blender with hot chicken broth, jalapeno peppers, and garlic, and made a very tasty soup.
Artichokes: another great food, although I've learned one can over-do them (the inulin starch they contain is not digestible). I'm traditional, I like to eat them with mayo (a favorite condiment)
Black olives
Brazil nuts (only if they are not spoiled, rancid, or rotted!)
yada yada yada... there are more but you get the picture...

I'm with you on that one. YUCK!!
What do people put in their mouths? LOL
I'm addicted to milk as well. I don't drink it quite like water, but I do have a couple of glasses of it with my supper.
I've actually never had anchovies on pizza. I tried to order it once, but that pizza place didn't have anchovies. :(
I have to disagree with you on this one. I love cauliflower and broccoli raw. Dip them in some ranch dressing. To die for.
I as well like chicken salad sandwiches but not with all that extra added in.
Another thing that I don't care for is pineapple on pizza. It does not belong there. Quit trying to put it there.

Can't stand raw tomatoes (love all forms cooked / processed however), cucumbers (any form), boiled okra (fried to death or in gumbo is fine), hominy, frog legs, raw oysters (both textures bug me). That's really about it. There are some other things like buttermilk that I wouldn't drink on a bet, but are essential to some recipes so I use quite a bit.
I am at least fortunate to not have any significant food allergies. We have both a tree nut and shellfish allergy in my house, so Thai food doesn't happen too often around here.... | ||

OK, here are TWO THINGS that it took hanging out with my daughter, (going out to dinner at Olga's Kitchen, actually) to come up with that are "obvious kiddie food", not fit for adult consumption (or MINE at ANY AGE!) as I will NOT finish her left overs of:
Applesauce (Can't STAND the stuff--it reminds me of BABY FOOD--and telling Laura that it was "baby food", in turn, had her telling me "there's GROWN-UP applesauce--and I remember when I out-grew eating baby food wanting to eat some berry flavored baby food my little sister wouldn't eat right out of the jar when I was two...
Chocolate Milk--that is, that I didn't make Chocolate! I like a chocolate milk-SHAKE--made w/ ice cream, syrup and an egg! (or if there must be milk flavored w/ chocolate syrup, then I would just put in some soda water (if we have; we mostly don't) and make an Egg Cream (and I remember thinking it was literally made w/ an egg or egg-S, if not thinking it was an alcoholic beverage, given my impression when I read something as "going out for such")...
Getting back to my childhood dislike for milk: there was a real neat pink juice that came in a can--maybe it was Passionfruit?--it was too sweet to really be grapefruit--that I was supposedly allowed to drink in place of milk--and supposedly it seemed OK to have, in that none of the other kids were jealous wanting to "BYOB" their own, or trying to barter mine off of me, bully me over it, or beat me up for it, etc.

 Many of the foods mentioned have not crossed my path or not been tried. Love peanut butter ... jar and a spoon, or a sandwich with sugar sprinkled ... but need to keep it minimal due to oxalates. Detest egg nog. Had a stomach upset incident years ago after having some honey, although I don't suppose the honey was the cause as it doesn't spoil, and avoided it for a long while but have mostly gotten over it. Oysters are nasty. Will not take boiled eggs or fried but like scrambled. Boiled/cooked/canned cabbage but slaw is OK. Liver and other organ meats. Licorice. | ||

Gluten... Isn't it amazing how many people suddenly find themselves "allergic" to gluten? I watched one of those "reporter on the street" things where they stopped people and asked them about it. Most people said they could not eat it and knew it was bad for them yet almost no one knew what it really was. Every shelf in the grocery store has labels that proclaim "Gluten Free." I expect to see it on packages of Charmin very soon. Apparently those words make stuff sell.
At least Mrs. Noh Nah Ning spoke the truth about doughnuts and never mentioned gluten..."you know they are bad for you!" CLICK HERE TO GO TO twintubdexter's LINK | ||

Despise would fit the response of my teens and early 20's to some foods. Keep in mind, my mum was English/Scottish and whether it fits or not, she didn't really like to fuss for meals. So, the following were my most hated and still do not appeal to me at all, along with just the foods I've tasted after leaving my good mom's cooking:
1)Spanish Rice. Prepared well-cooked - well cooked pork chops or other in rice and tomato sauce. 2)Stuffed Green Peppers(believe I'm allergic to these, but not the orange, yellow or red variety) 3)Asparagus (although I will eat the tips, generally no likey this veggie which my Nanna and Grandpa grew abundantly on the sunny side of the white single car garage. 4)Capers 5)Most, not all, sushi,escargots(snail), lobster(it's just too rich for me) and oysters(God bless those who can swallow a bad head cold. tmi, I know.) 6)Indian food - I can't include EVERY kind, but from tasting everything that was offered at a large engagement party, I didn't enjoy anything I ate. Some curry is sweet, but I have yet to discover a love for Indian food. 7)Stewed Tomatoes 8)Liver/Liverwurst 9)All lunchmeats, except Boar's Head products 10)Most fast foods(90%) 11)Many pastas - dislike spaghetti, linquini, and macaroni, but I love a well-made mostaccioli which is hard to find. 12)Lima Beans - can eat them, but don't like! 13)Plain white bread, plain pancakes, white rice, and white cakes/cupcakes. 14)Poi, but I love TAROT chips! Hawaii was the only place I found large bags of large, delicious TAROT chips 15)Some of the Southern greens; not that I can't eat them, but that they don't agree with my "system". 16)Greasy food - i.e; most anything fried. and that's enough from me. Interesting how people hate or can't eat coconut, milk, and other things I enjoy. Another interesting thread - I really enjoy discovering other's likes, dislikes and interests. | ||

In no particular order:
Brains
Meatloaf Frogs legs Rabbit Chitterlings Haggis Liver Kidneys Tongue Full English Breakfast - Bacon fried, poached or scrambled eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or toast with butter, sausages, and baked beans by themselves aren't bad, but all on one plate and first thing in the morning is more than one can endure. Kippers - Well they aren't that bad going down, long as they stay down. Oh and the smell whilst cooking puts me right off. | ||

I certainly did not intend to offend anyone with food allergies. I'm glad people like Jonathan who should avoid gluten have so much to choose from. I just meant to draw attention to the sudden influx of gluten intolerant people and the endless products on market shelves that shout GLUTEN FREE! "No High Fructose Corn Syrup" runs a close second. A few years ago it was "I'm hypoglycemic!" On "The Nanny," Fran Fine's mother Sylvia was always tossing that around. She'd fain lightheadedness and ask for her medicine...a spoon and a squeeze bottle of Hershey's syrup.

(Meow, meow, meow!!!!) Did I ever mention that I don't like Tuna?! Or canned salmon or any kind of raw fish that isn't SUSHI?! That's CAT FOOOD to me...!
Maybe buried in a COOKED Casserole, yes! As for a TUNA SANDWICH, No!
And I remember at camp someone wanting tuna put in the macaroni & cheese before I had my turn to have the last helping WITHOUT!
Yeh, I'm still dwelling on how "the one man's meat is a another man's poison", but I won't go on ranting about it here, right now....

An "I USED To Like":
Have you ever had a food you used to loved to eat & was a very simple, satisfying snack or treat that you could always count on to keep you full in a good, savory way?
I have: CRACKERS! Now...! Have you ever eaten something that seemed to just sit in your stomach, and do nothing but make it ache and can no longer stand even in a bowl of soup, mainly because it would linger around after the soup was gone? Well, yes, I have: CRACKERS! (And not as in "fire", either, as this song hopefully suggests...) -- Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO DaveAMKrayoGuy's LINK This post was last edited 08/14/2015 at 16:55 | ||

The only time I saw lobsters being cooked, I felt really bad. I know animals in their environment get killed by other animals too and I do eat all kinds of meat if others killed it for me but I can't stand seeing them die. Since I'm not exactly slim, I probably eat more meat than most people who kill it for me do... I should be more concerned about that, I'd probably loose some weight too. I did kill a few animals by accident while driving (among them, quite a few insects but larger ones too) but I can't even intentionally kill a spider... I am quite patient at relocating some insects outside of the house without hurting them. If I find them in the cold season, I leave them where they are or just move them to another room as I don't want to leave them outside! | ||

Omg this is amazing what a thread !!!
For me if you feed me this on a plate I will confess to ANYTHING !
1: Salmon in any form 2: Brussels sprouts, they taste like horse-breath balls !! 3:Cream sickles- got violently ill on them as a kid. What is odd is I like Orange Julius though- but I never got sick on a OJ. 4: Red licorice !! Can't even stand the scent! Bought a pack at 4 years old while we were returning from Nantucket in 1959- hit a storm on the ferry crossing back to the mainland , got wayyyyyy nauseous -- NEVER AGAIN !!
PS that King Crab looks Delicious !!! | ||

Since I live up north, we don't have to deal with as many insects as in the south.
I have never seen a roach here! Apparently there are, usually in older houses with people who don't clean much! My mother was raised in an old house in a poor neighborhood of my hometown and they had a convenience store in a part of their home. My grandmther took care of the store until her death (at age 36) in 1960, but after her death, the older kids were running the store and they started to have problems! People would bring back empty Coke bottles with roaches in them so they eventually had some too! My grandfather wasn't the kind of guy who would call the exterminator just for a few roaches but he couldn't get rid of them with his Raid cans so when he noticed that the situation was a bit out of control, he did! Apparently, he didn't have to call many times to get rid of roaches! One time was enough! That's one of the few advantages of our cold weather! Still, my mother and my aunts were traumatised with insects, they all remember roaches running to hide when they turned on the big fluorescent light over the table in the kitchen/dining room and others getting out of the toaster when they used it so they turned it on before putting bread slices in! They even saw some in their pull-out dishwasher! Apparently, a family living nearby had so many roaches that they didn't bother to hide anymore in their house when they turned the lights on (or there was no space left for them to hide!) and they even had to get them out of their plates while eating! They were the ones suspected to have brought roaches in Coke bottles at my grandfather's place! So my mother learned me to rinse thoroughly refundable bottles and cans and even the dirty dishes before letting them in the dishwasher unless it's ready to be started immediately after leaving the plates in! I even rinse packages that are going in the trash bin! | ||

Seen on Foodstuff, GOOD and BAD! How Ugly: OK, somewhere I saw mushrooms in this thread--and once a co-worker and I split a personal pan pizza w/ four-slices on which everything EXCEPT MUSHROOMS was on it! --That thing even had anchovies...
The "N-Word": NATURAL... Been seeing it at a "Everything labeled Homestyle"-level and on foods ranging from nuts, breakfast bears/granola bars and produce, to meats & even beer...
Did not want to buy the Meijer store-brand of canned-tomato sauce due to it being labeled ax such--and even the national branded competitors...
--Nope! --Walmart Great Value brand that just says "Tomato Sauce" for me!
And like-wise, "Natural" better mean Natural Selection, (Scientific term, I take it) New Naturals's, as in GE's appliance-color selection or Natural Gas...!
Think I'll go "au natural", now...! (LOL!) "Naturally"...

PhilR storey - posted above
Sobering to read - many people, like myself, have been fortunate never to experience that level of roaches. Once, when I was living/studying in S.Carolina, a few of us students went to a restaurant for dinner. I saw a huge mouse run across the wall. I said, "Was that a mouse that ran across the wall?" My friends,all from the south, laughed and told me it was a Palmetto bug(which are as big as a bus, imho).
Coke question: We had a neighbor(childhood neighborhood), who drank alot of sodas daily- especially Coke. I mean, not one a day, but liters. Not to give Coke a bad name, but she developed diabetes and brain cancer(luckily, she is alive). A nurse, one would think she would have developed some perceptions about health(not blaming,just sayin'). This post was last edited 01/10/2016 at 11:59 | ||

Dave, I've had very good luck with the Meijer Naturals brand of canned tomatoes/products...I believe they come either from Hirzel near Toledo or Red Gold in Indiana...in the gold colored label. I first thought they were organic, but they sneakily use "Naturals" as the brand name to give things a "halo".

If you like Natural I won't spoil your enjoyment! Hmmmmm, kinda got so wrapped up in my rant about "product labeling" that I forgot to mention that the co-worker was the one who didn't like mushrooms... Me, I love 'em! (It was his idea to order the 4-slice-pizza & both of us chipped in, each taking our two slices...)
I remember being the only one in a class room who wanted them on a pizza for a party we were going to have, but the teacher refused to have the rest of the kids make a pile of mushrooms they didn't want to be offered to me w/ their dirty hands or get torn off their slices of pizza and thrown away... (We could have ordered "half", but not 1/4-3/4 or just a slice or two, or "personal size" for me; least not back then...)

I guess I have seen liver mentioned in another thread here that I have to say (if it hasn't been said here already) that I, too, hate liver--tastes so much like old shoe leather, doesn't it?! Liver & Onions? I'll eat the ONIONS!
However, gimme that same liver chopped-up with some seasoning--and that I will like and eat! (And that has happened, that I couldn't believe the liver I didn't like & would not eat last night, became something I loved!)
Ditto for "mock liver"--made from beans and/or peas (probably chick peas) somehow liver flavored, I at least like, or will eat, albeit it being meatless...

To Tame A TAB: Not necessarily a dislike but Diet Pop is something you couldn't pay me to drink... I can understand the principal of it in order to consume less calories, but I believe something not so good for you should stay something not so good for you, not made into something that is good for but is really BAD for you!
I wonder about Tab Cola: It used to be popular, and even served in restaurants and it had catchy commercials ("Tab, Tab Cola his Beautiful..."), but after being turned onto a case of it, I would rather be drinking battery acid--it tastes like a regular cola pretending to be a diet cola--however, since I got a case of 12 cans, which my wife won't even drink, I found a way to learn to like it:
Just add COKE...!

used to hate sauerkraut...
until I tried my (100% German ancestry) wife's homemade ... wunderbar!
I like almost everything ... and you can tell LOL! The exceptions: Miracle Whip (work of the devil!), strong oily fish, liver, organ meat, insects. Other than that - I'll take seconds please! Being a MD native, I LOVE raw Chesapeake 'ersters (as the Eastern Shore waterman call 'em) and crab in any form. | ||

After a trip to Asia I don't think there's anything I will ever despise more than stinky tofu. The stuff tastes like the worst rotting garbage you could ever imagine and anytime I smelled it nearby I literally started gagging. | ||

Never cared for sea food. I won't suger coat it, but I am a picky eater! If it smells like rotten garbage, I will stay far away, if it has a weird texture I won't eat it. I'll eat scrambled eggs if it has small pieces of diced up breakfast sausage, but if there is no sausage to go with my eggs, I will not eat eggs.

I also don't like stuff that you can't get out of the package completely, which in addition to the sauerkraut above, is frozen spinach...
There are probably other packaged foods, like that, and of course, as the thread title suggests, tastes also may vary... -- Dave

Fascinating I don't eat meat, stopped in 1989 - do occasionally eat fish, but that's it. Not really anything else I don't eat. I'm convinced food likes/dislikes are real, not imagined. I live with a dog who loves omelettes - but hold the eggs, please. She has a longer list of things she won't eat than does the cat. When we cook for friends and acquaintances, it's always a major planning affair. He doesn't like this, that or the other. She doesn't eat this, that or anything from that family. He only eats broiled, never fried. She doesn't 'do' microwaved anything......
Wow. Then the whole spices thing - yes or no and the whole 'spicy hot' thing, - yes or no and the whole tomato ketchup on prime filet minion yes or no...and, worst of all, anything, anything new and untried or varied in any way from how it's always been done.
Americans aren't as bad about is as are Germans, but, gosh - something which runs this deep has to be biological and not (just) psychological. Wonder if two aspects of our heritage play a role here. First, we're related in equal parts to Chimps and Bonobos (I said 'related', not descended, so you hysterical pseudo-scientists can just put down the mouse right now) and, two, except for some pure Africans (not too many of them, either), we're all more or less a mixture of at least two hominid species who ate differing diets.
As to the psychology and early childhood and other nonsense - we were always permitted to eat or not eat whatever we liked. If one didn't eat the main meal, though, whatever it was, there were no snacks or desserts later. I ate everything and took seconds, my brother was the pickiest eater (he'd outdo those here with the longest lists easily) and still is. My mom commented many years later that the easiest days for her in the kitchen were when I was the only one home - she could cook exotic Scottish food she had a yearning for and know I'd eat it whilst cooking for my dad and brother meant following a rule book a metre long.

Do not try to tell me you can swallow a molecule of anchovy without tasting it, as in "There's only a little anchovy on the last slice of pizza. You won't even know it's there!"
Or as the late great Erma Bombeck put it "By the time that tiny particle had made the trip from the tip of my tongue to the back of my throat, it had swelled to the size of a salted rotting whale." | ||

Genetics I love coriander, know some folks who insist it tastes like soap and who therefore hate it. I love anchovies, think it's fascinating how many people love foods in which it plays a 'silent' but enormously important role. But, hey - we're all different and that's just the way things are. Still in all, Americans are much less picky eaters than folks back home in Germany. | ||

In no particular order
Haggis - don't ask.
Brains Kippers (well the smell while cooking at least) Full English Breakfast - black bacon, eggs, grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or toast with butter, and sausages. Black pudding, baked beans, bubble and squeak and hash browns. All on one plate and first thing in the morning is more than one can stand. Fried oysters | ||

Oysters! Thank you, Laundress, for mentioning--I bought a couple cans, one I made with some rice, and the other I brought with me to my dad's house along with some other food-stuff that we'd grown tired of or found disgusting & belonging in the ranks of the "Why the HELL did I buy THIS?!", so whether he eats them, or makes cat food out of them, I don't CARE!
"Milkshakes are fattening, and I hate oysters!", I can quote a family friend/baby sitter, nice lass across the street I grew up on, the last remnant of the old neighborhood, left to take care of her ailing parents and gently correcting me on my mollypropisms, such as the "imaginary" turn signal on my sister's Little Wheel being "middle cuts it off", whereas Down was Left and Up was Right, so I don't remember what my impression was with "Down" (her mother visiting was amused w/ my sister and I mimicking the "Tut, tut tut" turn signal sound & imitated it along with us... And my saying "the oysters were kosher"--I'm back to the milkshakes & oysters I made in the sandbox as 'Robin' her name was gave me the whole schpiel on shellfish, convincing me that they can't be, or just simply making them "imitation" just like imitation Krab"... OK, back on topic: What do you think of Crab, Crabs-SSSS or KRAB?! I like as long as it's the real thing, although I can't stand the tools you need to shuck them--or OYSTERS--if they're (usually) in shells, and I guess besides the reason that Lobster is too expensive, then I don't eat it, either--but likewise, I hope these stores that can't sell to those poor like me will mark some of this expensive shellfish down... -- Dave | ||

OK, this time the "O Word"--Organic...
What is there about vegetables, fruits, eggs, and even meats, that just naturally grown isn't good enough? I have seen entire grocery orders consist of nothing BUT organics, often--and to the least they are sooo Higher-Priced!--and worst yet one time my grocery was out of regular bananas (or there were no large 8-count, or even 7-count bunches) that I bought organic once, and while I didn't think there was any difference or wouldn't be any difference in taste, I hated them! (Couldn't wait to be done & go back to regular...) Almost as bad as a garden that a neighbor's cat uses as a litter box for making or using as fertilizer... -- Dave | ||

Whipped Cream in a SPRAY CAN! 'Cause it's not the whipped cream in a spray can FROM BACK IN MY DAY!
It has grown very EXPENSIVE, and my daughter is all over me to buy it (although it is cute when she wants to spray it in her mouth) but back, long ago, when those cans were empty, you KNEW they were EMPTY! So these days, I think there is still SOME left in there, but it refuses to spray out & it even feels like the spraying is somehow disengaged... And given the shoddy way 'new things of today' are made, I am even, ever fearful of these cans explodin'... -- Dave | ||

In the last decade or so, I have discovered that I can tolerate watermelon if it's ripe and sweet. I don't know why, but it used to make my stomach turn over. And when I was a teen, that reaction extended to other melons like cantaloupe, even fellow curcubits like cucumber (pickles always OK). But I enjoy cucumber in salads now, as well as various melons ... as long as they are ripe. Honeydew seems to be best.
I will still put down a slice of watermelon if it has "that taste"... lol... | ||

You can keep
anything that's canned..especially canned peas. While S&W brand, which I discovered when I moved to California, are really a cut above so many other brands....canned peas are godawful.
Some foods I have hated include stewed tomatoes, Spanish rice with shoe leather chops(the way my dad ordered his food, beyond well done) Asparagus Grits (maybe I need to use a lot of DARK gravy? lol ) Hush Puppies (not the shoes! ) Collard and Turnips Standard red beets (the golden colored ones are actually decent tasting) Stuffed Cabbage (barely) Fast food - overall, I like french fries in limits Some game food (squirrel and rabbit aren't my favorite) Potatoe dumplings (they don't seem to like me) I commented before, so hope I didn't make anyone sick reading this. LOL. | ||

I don't know if you have heard the expression, but my mum used to say when I was a kid if you eat your greens they will put hairs on your chest.
There is also, I think, a saying about putting color in your cheeks. There's certainly a joke about that:
Mother: Eat your spinach. It will put color in your cheeks!
Boy: Who wants green cheeks? | ||

You never know what you don't like until you try it...these "TRIED" I can say, I don't like : artichokes, pickled herring, liver, caviar, raw oysters, crawdaddies/ crayfish, depending on how it's prepared... asparagus.
It's ineresting how our tastes sometimes change as we age. Some things I can handle now that I didn't like in my teens...not many. | ||

And all this time I'd thought Calamari was SQUID!
Maple syrup, I can't stand when it's emitting from the smell of dirty dishes, of which an odor of copious amounts came from a pile of plates just at my mom & dad's years ago, when my sis & I were still living there & someone (not me) may have put too much on pancakes or waffles & not have eaten all of that remained on the plate... Seems to have happened just this morning, as my daughter & a friend of her's who'd slept over this past weekend, couldn't shmush their syrup in the frozen mini pancakes I'd made them (I was toooooo tired to make real ones amid my daughter's begging) so even not able to determine which plate was whose & not wanting to waste any of the remaining syrup just made some corn bread (w/ the last of my Aunt Jemima mix) to soak it all up... Naturally (pun intended?) I like REAL Maple Syrup better than the myriad "imitation flavors" out there, but then, if I would just splurge the double-digits on the real stuff, I think I would be ahead, as I must have spent perhaps TWICE that amount there, so while I can't stand the smell, I LOVE the taste & there, it better be the REAL DEAL...! -- Dave | ||

Well, I never thought that this would be a food that I this day (or yesterday) I would despise, or simply do not enjoy eating:
SOUP! This is made w/ the meat juice (beef & pork) drippings, that I add a bouillon cube & a cup of water, per-cube, to... And I often add kimchee, teriyake or even ordinary beef or pork (if there are pork remainders) Raman noodles to--which somehow out of every case, this just became the turn to the worst dislike, in that I can no longer eat... (And of course, liquid, hot or cold like this would be hard to transport to my dad's, unless I get a big thermos...) -- Dave | ||

Jello/Gelatin Surprised this wasn't on more lists. I think my aversion comes from growing up here in Iowa, where it seemed like most ladies had some kind of Jello Salad "Family Recipe" that they would always bring to potlucks or picnics.
And as I child I was taught to take a reasonable sized serving and eat it (no matter how repulsive) in the name of good manners!

A lot of avocado's are coming from Peru currently, and have no flavor. California are the best, of course, and Mexico second. It's the same with pineapple. Hawaii doesn't grow enough anymore to ship to the mainland, so we get them from Costa Rica now. | ||

The fact that I'm probably 50 or so pounds overweight should tell you that there aren't many foods that I despise.
I'm the type who's usually willing to sample anything. I've never understood people who decide that they don't like a food item without ever trying it. That being said, the one thing that I ate one time, and have no desire to ever have again was lamb. And even then, as much as I disliked it, I've had people tell me that it all depends on how it's prepared. So...I probably would try it again; prepared differently. But then, if I still hated it, I'm done! Barry | ||

Raw fish or meat. Viscera other than liver. Undercooked vegetables. Grape Nuts cereal. This post was last edited 12/17/2018 at 18:51 | ||

Mmmmmm! So will I, as those are all foods I like to eat, although I don't know what anyone sees in those spiny crab legs you have to shuck just to get that puny meat out of, which lobster is also like, unless you get a (Yum!) well-stuffed tail...
But for those of you who might these these flavors of sparkling juice by RW Knudsen and possibly might want to try:
DON'T!!!!

"So, what's in that Secret Sauce?"
Okay, what was it about Red Baron that reminded me of School Food Pizza?!
Not the cement crust, the rubbery cheese, or the Kroger-brand pepperoni that I always buy, (and tastes good—great, in fact—on everything else I put it on) but somehow the sickening smell of all of the above really got to me... I hope I ever buy another plain cheese and go back to my Kroger-brand that I make my kind of choice, that this disgusting experience (I prefer Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron, or in the case of pizza, it's DiGiorno, Jack's or Tombstone, that reminds me of my local hi-class pizzeria or at least a tolerable take-out joint or even a 7-11!) will never..., happen..., again..., !!!!... (Yes, only the box (which you may as well eat, and throw away what's in it) was photo-worthy!) -- Dave

"Red Baron that reminded------ me of school food pizza". That may be because many schools serve Tony's Pizza, which is made by Schwan's, which also makes Red Baron, Freschetta and other brands of pizza. One of my friends used to work at their Northern Kentucky facility. I've always liked the Red Baron Deep Dish individual pizzas pretty well. | ||

I bought a Freshetta pizza for dinner this past week. I took only 2 bites before I went to the kitchen and made scrambled eggs! I'm surrounded by pizza franchises living right besire a college campus. I don't like then, either! | ||

I've had Red Barron pizzas. I can't remember the specific varieties, but I know I've had more than one cheese-only topping pizza in the last year or so. I didn't think it was the best thing ever, but I had no complaints, particularly given the price. Indeed, I have a sense that it was a welcome buy at one point--really cheap at a point where the grocery budget was practically used up for the month...
That said, the only pizza I've had in recent history has been frozen. And my budget hasn't permitted buying better varieties in some time--the mass market brands are the best I've had in quite some time. Also, while I had Red Barron in the last year, it's been a number of months. So it's entirely possible that the recipe changed between my last pizza, and Dave's. It's been a long time since I had Freschetta, but I liked the brand many years ago. BUT I haven't been as happy recently, although it's been more "disappointing" and "not as good as I recall" than "this stuff is so terrible and I won't finish it!" (I can't recall what topping varieties, but it would have been something meat free.) Although, for me, it's irrelevant how good or bad these brands are. I no longer eat dairy, and assuming I stay away from dairy for the duration, it's not terribly likely I'll have any conventional frozen pizza again. | ||

>Can't expect much for that price (and you don't get much!)
No, you can't expect much! I remember seeing really, really cheap single serving pizzas. At something like $1 each on sale. Or something like that. In retrospect, I half wish I'd tried one, just to see "how bad is thing?!" before I quit eating dairy. But I recall cringing at the ingredients. Fake cheese was in one product. I remember some other brand that made you think you were getting an Italian Grandma pizza. Then, I look at the ingredients, and saw "High Fructose Corn Syrup." I thought sarcastically: "Yes. Every Italian Grandma cooks with that stuff each and every day." | ||

I was a latchkey kid and I grew up eating cheap frozen pizza, boxed mac and cheese, TV dinners, etc.
So today a cheap frozen pizza is a sort of comfort food as ridiculous as that sounds. My long-time ex was a pretty good cook, but once in a while he'd make Hamburger Helper Beef Noodle because he ate it growing up. I knew better than to complain! | ||

Frozen Pizzas...
I think the best frozen pizza is DiGiorno brand. I prefer the "Supreme" variety in any pizza, as well as the "rising crust" type. A close second is the Safeway Signature Select House brand Supreme rising crust pizza.
For fresh pizza, Costco's "Combo" (equiv to what the frozen vendors call "Supreme") is generally very good. As are offerings from local vendors like Mountain Mike or Marina Pizza. I don't do Papa John's because of their corporate politics. Domino's, Round Table, meh. | ||

(Pssst... It's MUSHROOMS!)
After having these go bad on me a number of times, and reeking of the origin that they actually come from (which is why a majority of people are turned off by) I simply refuse to let another one in my house or even up to my mouth, unless ordered on something when eating out or taking in a carry out, or perhaps offered at a invited over to dine, if any of the aforementioned are a REPUTABLE SOURCE...!

Wow. I guess I'm more of an omnivore than I thought.
I like mushrooms and avocados. So much that I planted a number of avocados in my yard. I don't grow mushrooms for consumption, of course, but one of my favorite dishes to make is semi-chinese style Mushroom Chicken (from a Joyce Chen cookbook), with fresh, not canned, mushrooms. Canned mushrooms are OK for pasta dishes and soups. Squash and seafood (most of it) is fine too, especially mexican gray zucchini in a stir fry. As for mushrooms, I guess they grow in compost, but proper compost is sweet smelling, clean, and not shit. Also commercial mushroom operations are carefully controlled, to keep wild spores out. But I don't look down on those with food dislikes. It's a natural instinct, and I figure if one is starving, the survival instinct will overrule the food avoidance instinct. I suspect a lot of food hating is psychological, but again to each his own. | ||

Anything which smells very "fishy". Fresh quality seafood should not. The ocean stinks like fish from anything decaying in it. Fresh clams, crab, most fish, lobster and other crustations, molusks, oysters, scallops, or shrimp do not. | ||

I will never put those up to my mouth ever again!
These pinwheels, we used to occasionally get in the break room:
I don’t miss them after I threw a number of them away after they hadn’t been kept in the refrigerator and the package hadn’t even been open, some when they were rotted and others when I knew if they sat out any longer were also going to spoil… — Dave

What’s a gallon of water that’s mostly all-liquid that’s going to take the rest of the year to eat and of which the matzoh balls are nearly eaten up in it that I had to substitute boiled spaghetti and made it hotter than hell?
Yes my daughter made this soup using ten cups of water, of which luckily I have a cold but have to wait for now to cool off… — Dave | ||

Well, it’s Tony’s Night! The folks who make Red Baron and claim it’s better than Jack’s and I know when I compare those box-less pizzas (merely just wrapped in plastic with it even without a cardboard bottom) like Tombstone or a store’s private label or some generic brand to Jack’s that Jack's is still good…
So I felt hesitant about it, though what had me buy it was seeing tons of it unsold and this one being a Supreme with all the toppings just for the disappointing smell of “I won’t like this!” to come out of the open, still frozen package… Anyway my wife wanted pizza and with the freezer full of ones clearly much more desirable that I’d like and would want to wait til I’m in the mood for and more hungry, just made this one… Even with any hankering for, just half-heartedly forced down my one piece which at best was okay, while my wife ate what was another… Then in the fridge the rest put away of what would be two more… Of which this morning were reheated and finally finished eaten by my wife though only as rule it’s usually no pork or vegetable toppings, just plain cheese… At least there’s a fun activities thing on the back I did… — Dave This post was last edited 08/23/2024 at 21:33 | ||

My buddy Sam worked at the Sabatasso division of Schwan Foods in Florence,KY for two or three years back in the late 90's. They made Tony's, Red Baron, Little Charlie's, and Freshcetta pizzas. Seems like I had pizza about everytime I was over at their house during that time. | ||

How about Head Cheese? When I was a child, things like this were served, and also fatty meats. To this day things like that gross me out.
I also don’t like Chicken Wings. The bones & skin get to me. However, I do okay with many fish, and pretty much all vegetables.

As for chicken wings, you need an awful lot of them to be full...
I don't know what the thing is with the cut celery accompanying buffalo wings, usually that doesn't get eaten... We actually bought a whole chicken that I thought was a tenderloin, so naturally because of all the bones even for its huge size it had to be given to my dad to feed his cats, mostly the alley cats/strays... -- Dave | ||

I despise mushrooms, especially raw ones used in salads. Their earthy taste is just not for me. A couple of exceptions are mushrooms sauteed in wine and butter for a steak topping, or on pizza. | ||

Any kind of cheese that stinks, like Brie, Camembert, Feta, Gorgonzola, Goat Cheese, Roquefort, but on occasion I do like Blue Cheese salad dressing.
If I can’t get it past my nose, I can’t eat it! My husband David is even more particular than I, he hates all of the above cheeses, but he won’t eat Parmesan cheese either, says it tastes like vomit, and he’s Italian! I like Parmesan very much myself. Sometimes I’ll try to sneak it into Meatballs, and he can always tell!

For me, mushy peas, I find the smell of hot mushy peas quite unpleasant and tasting them literally makes me vomit. Pea consomme too, which I found out in a restaurant. Fresh garden peas I'm fine with. | ||

Eddie,
Your post made me laugh. One of my mom's guilty pleasures is Limburger cheese. I can't imagine a cheese (or anything else edible) gets much worse smelling than that. On a recent visit to her house, she asked me to cut up a chunk of it that my nephew (her grandson) had sent her for her birthday. He lives in Wisconsin, and it's my understanding that the place where he got it is the only producer of Limburger in the United States. The smell was almost unreal. But, like Matt, I was raised to always try something before you decide that you don't like it. So, yes. I had to try a small piece. And I mean small! The taste is nowhere near as harsh as the smell. And, I've tried Limburger at her house before, but I don't remember it being as strong smelling as this one was! Just last night, while I was visiting again, I cut up a chunk of a different kind that he sent, called German Brick. Nowhere near as pungent as the Limburger was, but still somewhat smelly. This one, I was able to sample a larger piece, and it was very mild and creamy. I would eat it again. I bet it's nice on crackers or something like that. Barry | ||

CHIPS!!!!
Well prices of chips are needlessly on the rise, and go stale or lose interest in that I can’t often buy dip for them or even sour cream which I prefer so I seem to need to lop them off my diet too… Though the salt intake is not that harmful but amid the skyrocketing prices are being a slave to buying all those flavors! — Dave | ||
