What everyday food do you REFUSE to eat

[LynneSin]

Don't find some obscure food like Sheep Balls that you know none of us would eat, but a common place everyday food that you just refuse to eat.

Me: PICKLES I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE PICKLES!!!

I always request my meals come without pickles even if the meal usually doesn't have pickles to begin with. And if they bring the plate out with a pickle I've been know to send the meal back because I don't want that nasty pickle juice all over my food.

[skypilot]

1. Muffins

I've worked in too many places that sold them. I can't even look at one anymore.

[A HERETIC I AM]

2. Olives. Disgusting tasting things. But i LOVE olive Oil. Go figure.

and most nuts. I cant stand walnuts.

[ConcernedCanuk]

22. Hafta go with olives, gotta pick 'em off some sub sammiches

.
.

but the taste lingers

and Pickles, except I love sweet pickles,

dills and others - NoThankYou!

[A HERETIC I AM]

30. Glad to see i'm not the only one.....

But i do love a nice, crisp Kosher dill. With a spoonfull of peanut butter! Ok OK OK,.,,,,,i am a weirdo. But i never denied it!

One other thing. I can take black olives on a veggie pizza. Just not too many. Damn, i'm strange. But then, i am an atheistic, liberal, uneducated but somewhat well read, overweight trucker with bad posture and a poor command of the English language.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Green olives...blech...

Black olives are OK...but I don't like green.

I'm Greek too, and if not for olive oil, I could happily live in an olive-free world. :shrug:

[jumptheshadow]

28. I LOVE olives

Especially fresh Alfonso olives. Green olive pizza is fabulous; too bad you can't get it at most places in NY.

Anchovies are the REAL food obscenity. How could anybody eat them. They taste disgusting. And they're hairy. Yuck.

I don't like Miracle Whip, either. And whoever invented Pop Tarts probably spends most of their time at McDonald's.

[A HERETIC I AM]

47. "And whoever invented Pop Tarts"

"probably spends most of their time at McDonalds"


Now THATS funny

LOL

[YellowRubberDuckie]

71. Olives are the most atrocious things ever...

But I love olive oil too. hehe...Anyway, I also refuse to eat Cauliflower, any kind of bean, green beans are ok as long as they are steamed and aldente. Also, I love dill pickles, but sweet pickles make me wanna vomit.
Duckie

[corporatewhore]

87. i hate olives too

[Nikia]

97. I agree with you on olives

I never could eat them. I spit them out if I am eating pizza or sauce with them hidden if I accidently eat one.
Olive oil tastes different than olives. I use it quite a bit. It is our main oil.

[Whitacre D_WI]

152. HEY! Olive is NICE!

I love my Olive.

[truhavoc]

3. I agree with pickles!

But there are some other things that I won't eat anymore..
First Lunch meat/hot dogs, jeesh don't make me explain this one!
For some reason I hate most condiments, mayo, ketchup, mustard, all get a no.

[Redneck Socialist]

4. Tomatoes

Hate'm, hate'm, hate'm! Oddly enough I love ketchup and tomato sauce. Go figure.

[grannylib]

116. Me too...it's just raw ones I don't like, ish...but pizza sauce or

spaghetti sauce or ketchup is just groovy...

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. I don't know if these qualify but...

...all of those ARE commonplace in Brazil:

Rabada - made of cow tail. Rubbery, full of grease and hard tissue, smells horrible.
Dobradinha - Made of... I don't know if it's cow stomach or intestine. One of those, for sure. Again, rubbery and smells foul.
Cow tongue - Weird texture. Yuck.
Mocotó - Pig feet. I kid you not.

[DS1]

6. I'm with you on the pickles

Peanut Butter for me.

[LynneSin]

8. I love peanut butter but I get nauseous over the smell of it

But only if it's someone else's PB sandwich.

Bizarre but true!!

[terrya]

7. Lima beans.

Ewwwwwwww....

Terry

[chiburb]

11. Agreed. I'd add creamed corn....n/t

.

[hlthe2b]

23. Yes, while I'll eat nearly any other bean or vegetable, NO LIMAS!

The smell makes me physically ill!

[frankly_fedup2]

163. I'm with both of you . . .

Lima beans and milk and chicken (before the bird flu) yeeeeuccckkk. :puke:

[NicoleM]

9. Milk.

I'm not allergic, I just can't drink that crap. I eat cheese and ice cream, though.

[Loonman]

16. Milk

Bleahh....nasty.

[scarlet_owl]

143. Milk is nasty.

I like ice cream, though.

[xxqqqzme]

10. whoa that's harsh!

cilantro - which is ALL over EVERY thing anymore. It tastes like Ivory soap 2 me. I will send food back if the menu doesn't mention it.

I wish we would move on 2 the next herb du jour so cilantro could be put back on the shelf.

[dolo amber]

138. Blech!

I can't STAND cilantro! x(

But my number one *will not touch with a 10ft pole* food is definitely LIMES. Just the smell alone is enough to make me :puke:.

[Whitacre D_WI]

162. Oh, no!

I was going to bring a wonderful cilantro-lime dish to the wedding!

:cry:

[trotsky]

12. Coconut

Never liked it. Never will. Disgusting, foul substance not meant for human consumption. I would allow it to be used for packing material except it stinks too.

[Astarho]

93. One thing about coconut

There's not many foods that have the same texture whether you chew it or not.

[flamingyouth]

103. Me too - it reminds me of wood shavings

:scared: I hate the stuff with a passion.

[IronLionZion]

105. yeah coconut is terrible! it ruins chocolate

and many otherwise tasty desserts

[elfwitch]

13. Cooked carrots

I like them raw, but cooked? Yucky!!

[A HERETIC I AM]

54. Try this idea for carrots....

Peel them, cut them into chunks, steam them till done and put butter and freshly grated Parmesan cheese on them. I am not a big fan of carrots either, but they are really good that way.

[elfwitch]

68. no way...

As soon as they are cooked and no longer raw level crunchy, they make me gag.

[A HERETIC I AM]

75. LOL....fair enough. I would hate to think you might gag on any...

recipe suggestion i make.

[scarlet_owl]

14. Any kind of shellfish.

Shrimp, clams, oysters, mussels, lobster--Yuck! I also can't stand squash or Swiss cheese.

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

15. Okra. UUGH...HURK!

[LynneSin]

18. I guess you wouldn't be interested in an Okra Martini??

http://www.galveston.com/21/menu.html

Cajun Martini: Absolut Pepper Vodka, dry vermouth, garnished with pickled okra and a jalapeno stuffed olive

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

41. Alcohol makes many things palatable

[bif]

57. Okra blows!

Tastes just like snot.

[Aristus]

17. Cauliflower.

:puke:

[thelocalkgb]

19. Cereal

Any kind. It's just so gross.

[NorthernSpy]

63. yeah, sweet cereal makes me hurl

And I'm not too crazy about potato chips or soda either. Most canned vegetables are disgusting, and a lot of them are almost as bad after being frozen. I've never found an artificial sweetner that didn't taste like poison. Instant coffee isn't potable. And why haven't more people noticed that McDonald's food, and fast food in general, is kind of funny-tasting?

Let's see. Canned plums are atrocious. I remember them from hot-lunch. Kids used to suck on them for a while and then lob them across the room. I don't like canned fruit cocktail. I don't like frozen hake. I won't eat pork because pigs are intelligent and deserve better. I don't like sweetened tea. I don't like vanilla custard pie.

Mary

[prolesunited]

20. Meat

of any kind. :-)

[WillParkinson]

156. I second that!

Well, there *IS* one kind... ;-)

[cally]

21. Mustard

Can't stand the stuff. I will refuse to eat a dish if only a teaspoon is in it. I can taste it. :puke:

I love horseradish, though. :shrug:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

67. The only thing Mustard tastes good with to me is Egg.

My mom makes the best devilled eggs. she scoops out the yolks, mashes em up and mixes in Miracle whip and mustard. It is the best stuff ever...and I hate mustard.
Duckie

[Bluzmann57]

24. Onions!

I hate onions. They are like eating dead skin and don't taste good either.

[soleft]

26. Mayonaise

[mvd]

46. Same here

Forgot that one.

[phillybri]

50. Bingo!

:puke:

[cmf]

52. Ditto

:puke:

[Melsky]

92. Me too

and it's hard to get places to leave mayonaise off sandwiches. They act like, what's wrong with you, everyone likes mayo!

It is the food that smells like it has always just gone bad, even when it's fresh.

[DoctorBombay]

95. Another vote for mayo

Yeeeccch.

[Flaxbee]

161. Yup, don't like mayonnaise...

I can stand it in extremely small doses, trouble is, sandwich places always dump twice the mustard onto a sandwich if I ask them to hold the mayo, and I don't like that, either!

[SOteric]

27. Even the smell of

Martian headsBrussels sprouts is enough to make me gag.

[GOPisEvil]

29. There aren't enough sauces, condiments or flavorings in the world...

...to make me eat those...things.

[Snow]

33. Isn't that odd? I really love brussels sprouts, go out of my way

to have some frequently. I noticed the grovelbot just weighed in - what does it not like?

[geniph]

79. I love brussels sprouts too

I pretty much love almost all veggies, I can't stand fruit. I've been that way since I was a kid. It has something to do with having a deep-seated loathing, almost a phobia, of getting sticky things on my hands. It's hard to eat most fruit without getting STICKY. ewwww.

Probably why I don't like toddlers either. I don't mean to eat...never tried fricaseeing one. They're always so STICKY.

[A HERETIC I AM]

49. Try Brussel Sprouts with Vinegar. Yum.

n/t

[fudge stripe cookays]

86. I'm with you....barf! n/t

[Whitacre D_WI]

153. Ack! No, here's what you do:

Blanch the Brussels sprouts. You want 'em to stay nice 'n' green, because you've gotta cook 'em for a while to kill the bitterness. After blanching, cut the sprouts in half.

Heat a nice saute pan. Throw in some pancetta (mmmmm... pancetta).

Once some of the fat has been rendered out, and the pancetta is crispy, take the bacon out the pan and throw in the sprouts.

Cook them. Cook them a good, long time until they're nice and browned on the edges (especially the cut surface). Have somebody less sproutphobic than you taste one to make sure they're no longer bitter.

Add the pancetta back to the pan. Grind in some pepper, salt as well if the cured pork didn't salt it up enough already.

Then...

Toss in a wee bit of good balsamic vinegar. Not the Heinz "balsamic vinegar" you can get for $2, but real Balsamico de Modena (but I think you already knew that, SOteric). That's the key. The balsamic will neutralize most of the remaining bitterness, and round out your sprouts to be just about the finest veggie side you've ever had.

I think it was you who talked about balance between flavors. If this dish is made right, you will find perfect balance between bitter (sprouts), sweet, sour (balsamic), salt (bacon), and even umami (pancetta and balsamic).

It's like heaven on a plate, and you get to eat your vegetables, too!

[Liberal Christian]

157. Here's the no-bitter Brussels Sprout dish

Even people who hate Brussels Sprouts come back for seconds and thirds on these:


Peel the outer leaves off of fresh Brussels sprouts
Slice very thinly (I use food processor or mandoline, but plain old knife works too)
"Fluff" the shreds up to make a mound of Brussels sprout "hay"

Heat a saute pan or large skillet and add butter and olive oil in equal parts, not too much, just enough to lightly coat the sprouts. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Saute for just a few minutes untill they turn bright green. Add a few drops of water and put a cover on the pan for about 30 seconds to lightly steam them.

Squeeze fresh lime juice over them and serve immediately.

SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

158. Yes, I must second that!!

They are QUITE excellent that way.

119. I never cared for beets.

Don't even want to taste em.

[eyesroll]

160. Here's what you do for beets:

Peel them and slice them really thin. A mandoline or food processor helps.
Toss with salt, pepper, olive oil.
Roast them at 450 until tender (20 minutes or so).

In the meantime, toss some field greens with a balsamic vinegrette and spread the bread of your choice with a nice soft chevre. Pile the greens and the beets on the bread. Eat.

Alternatively, you could use sharp cheddar and horseradish for the sandwich instead of greens and chevre.

[tigerbeat]

32. green peas n/t

[MissMillie]

34. Any mushy orange squash

including butternut, hubbard and acorn.... YUK

[geniph]

35. Ketchup

the very smell makes me feel unwell, and my goddam stepsons slather it by the cupful on EVERYTHING. DisGUSTing - I go to wash the dishes, and accidentally TOUCH a pile of that sticky sweet evil-smelling crap... :puke:

[kmla]

36. Brussell Sprouts.

Asparagus.
Okra.
Sauerkraut. (Can't stand the stench that accompanies it...)
Beets. (I have to leave the house sometimes when the Mrs. makes them.)
Olives.
Raw carrots. (But COOKED carrots? Yumm!)
Radishes.

I'm sure there are others. But I'm not remembering them at the moment...

[catzies]

37. Popcorn

Nasty icky stuff. Blech.

[radfringe]

38. vegetables

I'm pretty much a carnivore...

carnivores are smarter than veggie eaters... think about it -- how much brains does it take to sneak up on a pea pod?

[LynneSin]

53. I'm with you on the veggies

I've found about 6 veggies I can tolerate and the rest I can't be bothered with.

[elfwitch]

70. me too...

I can tolerate:
Corn
Green Beans
Potatoes
Lettuce
Raw Celery
Raw Carrots
Spinach (in things, not by itself)
Sometimes peas but not often (also really only in things)

That about does it for me. I pretty much loathe all others.

[A HERETIC I AM]

60. ANOTHER funny post!

carnivores are smarter than veggie eaters... think about it -- how much brains does it take to sneak up on a pea pod?


Too funny. But them damned Okra can be slippery i hear

On edit to say this is a pretty fun thread. And funny, too!

[mvd]

39. Onions

I disagree with them badly. Also don't like garlic and regular milk (I do like chocolate milk.)

[fudge stripe cookays]

89. Onions make me violently ill if I eat them raw.

If they're cooked, I''m fine. But I have to pick them out of my pico de gallo, and lots of other stuff if I don't know they're included.

[GumboYaYa]

40. Apples, I can not stand them unless they are picked and eaten

straight off the tree. I have no idea why other than the fact that I am just weird.

[asjr]

42. black-eyed peas

[LastKnight]

44. where is the love?

ask youself, where is the love... the love, the love, the love...

im not a fan of em either (the food, that is, the group is pretty good)

-LK

[Xithras]

43. Hot Dogs

I like meat, but I can't stomach the taste of a plain hotdog. Their passable wrapped in cornbread and pretty good buried in chili, but the classic "dog and a bun" just turns my stomach. I don't really know why either :shrug:

Reading this thread makes me hungry...I like every other food listed here (even pickles, okra, and shellfish).

[arwalden]

45. Liver, Gizzards, Heart, Tongue, Brain, Tripe / Chitterlings, Stomach,

Testicles, Scrapple.

-- Allen

[LynneSin]

56. WHAT IN GODS NAME WOULD POSSESS ANYONE TO EAT SCRAPPLE???!!!

I'm born and bread PA Dutch farm gal here where Scrapple is an everyday mainstay in the diet. I use to adore eating scrapple until one day I helped butcher a pig and make scrapple.

Scrapple to me is taking what's compressed from the Trash compactor, slicely it up thinly, frying it in the frying pan and putting maple syrup on it.

What boggles the mind is all these Philly folks who think Scrapple is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well sliced bread with the skin, hair snot, intestines, dead rat, bugs and anything else they accident put into the scrapple mix.

You wouldn't eat Scrapple if you knew what was in it.

[A HERETIC I AM]

58. Know what part of the cow they DONT use?

The Moo

Hee hee

[A HERETIC I AM]

48. Oh yeah. Okra. Slimy, green vegetable. No thanks.

n/t

[Dulcinea]

51. I hate coffee.

And anything coffee flavored.

Absolutely NOTHING you put in it can disguise the nasty, bitter, burnt taste.

I also hate olives, squash, cantaloupe, & will not go near raisins. I eat pretty much anything else, though!

[fudge stripe cookays]

91. Freak.

Kidding. I've been drinking coffee since I was 8. Hard for me to understand people that don't like it.

[Milspec]

141. coffie eck!

However I cant understand how somthing that smells so good can taste soooo bad to me?

[Love Bug]

55. Cold cheese

I love cheese melted on a pizza or in a cheeseburger, but I just can't for the life of me pick up a cube of cold cheese and eat it. I think it's a texture "thing" but yuk!

[MamaBear]

59. Hard Boiled Egges

Can't stand the sight, the smell, the taste or the texture. Ugh!

[proud patriot]

61. Tomatoes

Yuck

[SiobhanClancy]

62. Mushrooms....

I hate that they get put into so many otherwise tasty foods:(

[sbj405]

64. Vinegar.

yuck yuck yuck.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

69. Jeez, is there anything you do eat!?

No berries?! That'd suck.
Duckie

[SiobhanClancy]

72. And no champagne,either??

Unthinkable.

[FatSlob]

128. I like meat, I like potato

I can't think of much else!

[jimbo fett]

66. nearly all vegetables.

As a kid I rarely touched a vegetable. I'm better about it now. I'll eat them if they're cooked and have some seasoning or if they're in a casserole, etc.

Salads are horrid.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

73. radiccio

[Cuban_Liberal]

74. Thousand Island dressing!

That crap is disgusting! It combines all the worst aspects of ketchup, mayo and pickle relish! :puke:

[geniph]

82. Second that puke for 1000 Island

I HATE that crap.

[slinkerwink]

76. Mustard, beans, pickles, guacamole, and relish

those are my four most hated regular food items.

[Kazak]

77. Any type of fungus...

blech.

[CBHagman]

78. French fries

I haven't had any in almost three years. I do eat potatoes prepared other ways, but not french fries. It has nothing to do with the French and a LOT to do with the fat content.

[Liberal Veteran]

80. Bologna....

Can't stand it at all.

[Lizz612]

81. Anything white-ish and creamy

Mayonnaise, cool whip, whip cream, that marshmallow puff stuff, yogurt, cream cheese, cottage cheese, anything this consistency and white. Dunno why, but my stomach turns at the idea of any of this in my mouth. Never liked any of these as a child either, never ate ANY of them, so no trauma to associate, unless I blocked it.

Not ice cream, thats hard enough.

[TrogL]

83. Slimy stuff

• creamed corn
  
• Harvard beets
  
• scalloped potatoes
  
• egg yolk
  

It's an Aspie thing.

[geniph]

84. Green bell peppers have evil spirits

(believe me, you'd think so too if you were around me about half an hour after I've involuntarily ingested them. I've had to quit eating onions for the same reason. It was either that or live alone for the rest of my life - my husband threatened to move out.)

[snobird]

85. definitely..

LIMA BEANS .. HATE THEM

[corporatewhore]

88. even before i was a vegetarian .fish i wouldnt even eat the fish i caught

i also hate olives

[DemExpat]

90. Spam.....the only 'food' I hate....

:puke:

DemEx

[MissMillie]

130. I don't know what it is

but it's not "food"

YUK

[Dees]

94. Liver......................n/t

[IronLionZion]

96. butter

it's just horrible.

[RobinA]

98. Cheese

Tastes like vomit to me. I don't eat it in any shape or form. Sweet cheese, as in cheese cake, is a different story.

Also:

Olives
Sauerkraut
Ketchup
Raw Tomatoes
Champagne (I get a headache just walking past a bottle of champagne.)
Pork roll
Oysters
Clams
Lobster
Crab

[Awsi Dooger]

125. Correction, cheese smells and tastes MUCH WORSE than vomit

I would understand Republicans winning every vote more than I can comprehend this planet's love for the slimy yellow crap.

Other than mild mozzarella on pizza loaded with toppings, I absolutely despise cheese of any description. Yet the only verified conspiracy is the global cheese conspiracy, since restaurants insist on contaminating virtually every dish with gruesome cheese, much more than they did 20 years ago.

RobinA, you're a genius, right up there with that cheese-hating politician from the 2000 commercials! That's a one-issue agenda I would embrace forever.

[Lostmessage]

99. Beets and Eel

The thought of beets makes me :puke: and I refuse to eat anything that looks like a snake.

[Alenne]

100. anything with chocolate in it

[Lindacooks]

101. bananas

they're slimy. I like the flavor, so eat banana-flavored things (like banana bread, banana bars) but the texture of a plain old banana is just repulsive to me.

The only time I've ever eaten one was when my 3 year old nephew offered me part of his - I had to eat it or hurt his feelings.

[IronLionZion]

102. coconut

yuck that stuff blows! and cake frosting blows too!

disgusting

[Wonco_the_Sane]

104. I hate pickles too

[fortyfeetunder]

106. Processed baked goods

Since I've taken to cooking my own from scratch, I can't stand the processed stuff that tastes like cardboard dipped in sugar and fat but is called breakfast food.

[Liberal Christian]

107. Though I'm not really picky

I do go out of my way to scorn the following:

Miracle Whip (I'm a mayonnaise gal, all the way)
Canned peas
Instant coffee
Slabs o' Liver (just plain disgusting, though I don't mind braunschweiger or paté)
Bologna
Wonder bread and its clones

[Donkeyboy75]

108. I can't believe so many people have olives

I can't eat peaches. They hit my tongue and I :puke:

[smirkymonkey]

109. Tuna Salad...

just the thought of it makes me sick.

Also, I refuse to drink milk - can't even watch someone else drink it. YUK.

[Edge]

110. Pork.

I hate pork...except for bacon. Otherwise, it all is gross. :puke:

[scarlet_owl]

144. I'm the same way.

I can't stand the stuff, but sometimes I get a craving for bacon. Probably because it has a unique taste and I don't associate it with pork. Even the sight of pigs makes me retch.

[baldguy]

150. Pork chops. Pork roast. Pork ribs.

Pickled pigs' feet. :scared:

I do like bacon, though.

[curse10]

111. Milk, meat

:-)

[shimmergal]

112. Coffee.

As bad as the taste is the social stigma, sometimes. What do you do when you're having an important interview and they take you to a "coffee break" and and the ONLY liquid you're offered is coffee?

Funny thing about Miracle Whip, which several of you hate.
I like it much better than regular mayonnaise (all least the store-provided kind.) The latter tastes too bland, but Miracle Whip is just right for sandwiches, IMO.

[NoPasaran]

113. Oranges

I can't stand the smell of them.

And orange juice: how do people swallow that swill?

[Mobius]

114. Beef

:puke:

[solinvictus]

115. Organ meats

Any of them! Ugghhh!!!

[DustMolecule]

117. beef

eom

[Shananigans]

118. GREEN PEPPERS are EWWWW!!!

They make me sick! I'm also totally against celery!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

120. I can force just about anything down if served it as a guest, BUT

left to myself, I avoid:

shellfish
fish except for canned tuna OR tuna or eel sashimi/sushi
most fruits, except for apples and berries (and bananas if mashed up in berry smoothies)
buttermilk
Brie
blue cheese
lemon meringue pie
vinaigrette dressing or anything else with a vinegary taste
liver
most sausage-type meats except for hot Italian sausage
capers
black olives
whiskey
nattou (a Japanese dish made of rotten--uh, fermented soy beans)

There was one restaurant in Portland where almost everything on the menu contained fish, shellfish, blue cheese, vinaigrette dressing, capers, or black olives. Yuck.

[geniph]

134. If you dislike fish and shellfish,

eating in Japan must have been something of a trial for you! Yowza.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

140. It's better raw

:-)

but I do a lot of choking down when I'm there. Fortunately, there's plenty of non-seafood to enjoy.

[Gringo]

121. Yogurt, raw onions.

n/t

[earthman dave]

122. Sweetcorn. The smell nearly makes me heave. It mings. eom

[Paul Hood]

123. Meat. n/t

[Sugarbleus]

124. Mandarin Oranges..eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww blech!

[jukes]

126. flesh

[Burma Jones]

127. Applesauce, mass produced pastry,

Love apples, hate applesauce

mass produced pastry is just nasty

[mac56]

129. Squash.

:puke:

[BritishHuman]

131. Fish.

Never cared for it.

[Zinfandel]

132. canned beets, lima beans and liver!

[ploppy]

133. Cilantro

I really cannot eat it and restaurants throw it in nearly everything. Ick Ick Ick It smells like a dirty laundry basket to me and tastes 10 time worse. I also hate any ground meat.

[geniph]

135. Melons and papaya

oh yummy, the smell of rotting garbage on a hot day.

:puke:

[July]

151. That's exactly my take on melons!

Especially canteloupe. That garbage smell is a huge turn-off. I do like watermelon, but it's quite different from canteloupe.

My other dislikes are tripe, shredded coconut (I like fresh) and anything maple or banana "flavored" -- real maple syrup is good, real bananas or banana bread are good, but adding the flavor rather than the real thing turns me off.

But, in general, my motto is "Food! My favorite!"

136. Hot dogs, hamburgers,

doughnuts. :puke:

[Undemcided]

[gate of the sun]

139. Peanut Butter

[NNadir]

142. Meat. n/t

[gauguin57]

145. meat, poultry, olives, pickles

meat and poultry cuz I'm a pesco-vegetarian (I eat seafood). Olives cuz ... ewwwwwwwww. Can't even touch the tip of my tongue to an olive without recoiling. And pickles ... belong in the trash with their sour cousin, yucky saurkraut.

[beevul]

146. Peas. I HATE peas. N/T

[Mr. Brown of MD]

147. Cheese

I simply don't eat cheese.

When I was in kindergarden I had some pizza and puked really bad and I haven't eaten cheese since.

-CollegeDude
Hates cheese, in fact

[Awsi Dooger]

148. Fantastic, that's at least 3 cheese haters on DU!

An astute community, indeed.

I'm going to bookmark this thread for ammunition vs. my new, cheese loving girlfriend. She thinks despising cheese is a subhuman trait, and claims before meeting me she never heard of anyone who hated it.

149. Pickles and Onions

they both make me want to vomit!!!

[lojasmo]

154. ugh

Brussel sprouts, yams, sweet potato, squash, I hate all these things. None will EVER go on my plate.

[seaglass]

155. Butter, butter substitutes, mayonnaise and gravy

There are some situations when I can eat this stuff.

a little butter on noodles/popcorn ok - butter on bread/toast - gag-worthy

a little mayonnaise in tuna/potato salad ok - mayonnaise on sandwich -disgusting - even spreading it on for my family makes me nauseous

Gravy - au jus ok, any other kind - blecchh

I know there's a pattern here - probably consistency.

[emad]

159. CROW....

and, uh, coleslaw....

[Avonrepus]

164. battery farm eggs

my paents own 6 chickens and i think it's hideous how battery chickens are treated in comparison

[alittlelark]

165. Peanut butter, walnuts, almonds, macadamias,

ALL nuts!! But then I have an anaphalactic allergy to them, so I guess that explains it
