Cheese - unless it is cooked e.g. on top of a lasagne. Uncooked cheese used to make me ill as a child. It took my parents a while to work this out so I was ill off it quite a bit.

Mangoes - they smell like sick to me

Pasta - it's the texture.
Natural yoghurt - anything creamy including dressings, sauces, mayonnaise and salad cream.

I'm with you maddyone on the gravy, sauce and dressing. There is nothing worse that having your meal swimming in any of the above.

Any offal,fish with it`s head still on,same as prawns.
Tripe,i hear enough of that so don`t feel the need to taste it.
Egg custards turn my stomach,as does lumpy gravy.

Lychees - too much like eyeballs!

GagaJo Fri 05-Aug-22 14:07:17

Kidneys. Taste too much of wee.
Black pudding. Something about the taste sticks in the back of my throat.

oysters, the thought of it just makes me think of something unthinkable eyeballs in sperm

JaneJudge Fri 05-Aug-22 14:10:41

oh also black pudding. I buy it very occasionally as a treat for my husband but what on earth is nice/attractive about it? His mate once bought him a massive black covered sausage of it from Blackpool or somewhere which i had to cut up and freeze, weirdos

Offal and whole prawns, but like pate( liver) and prawn toast mad isn't it.

Maggiemaybe Fri 05-Aug-22 14:14:04

I can eat most things, but can't bear the thought of eating offal. Or fatty meat, eels, octopus. Even though I love seafood, including mussels and winkles, I've only tried a whelk once. envy

Is this not just turning into a thread of 'food I don't like' rather than can't eat?

Meat oozing blood and fish with bones in. Eeurgh! Make my swallowing mechanism seize up in anticipation

Pistachios. Once had a praline made by DD’s friend that was very rich and had pistachios in. I was violently sick afterwards. Cannot face the thought of them now. Even typing this and thinking about them my stomach is turning over.

Custard, hot milk, blancmange, nuts. I could not drink a glass of milk or milk shake either.

CountessFosco Fri 05-Aug-22 14:55:14

Salami - so greasy and fatty!

Ladyleftfieldlover Fri 05-Aug-22 15:05:25

Offal - that slight smell of urine which kidneys have is disgusting
Oysters - I only ate them for the first time a few years ago. Double yuck

Very strong 'real coffee'
Very strong cheese, plus the blue type
Dark chocolate
Vodka
Fry's Turkish Delight
Gherkins
Curry
Brussels sprouts

Even modest amounts of the first five would give me terrible migraine. The last three I'm simply not keen on.

Rice pudding
Gravy

When the DDs were children I forbade them to say yuk about anything anyone else was about to eat or considering eating. This thread reminds me what an unpleasant word I find it. (Sorry to those who are quite happy with it.)

I couldn’t agree more. I told my grandchildren this many years ago. Very juvenile for adults to use such language.

nexus63 Fri 05-Aug-22 15:48:30

seafood but fish okay
any veg that is not salad.
someone put two of my favourites liver and beetroot (out the jar + the beetroot juice)

Gosh that’s like a list of my top 10 foods lovebeigecardigans1955. I’m not keen on vodka, but substitute red wine for that and I’m in food heaven.

But isn't that what the OP's asking for, and what most of us have replied to?

I don’t mean foods we have decided to eliminate from our diets for health reasons but genuine nauseating dislikes!

That certainly describes a whelk for me!

CanadianGran Fri 05-Aug-22 18:59:11

For me it is texture - lumpy items in sauce, like cottage cheese, rice pudding, or tapioca. That and soggy or wet bread.
