Perfectly good foods that you really don’t like

There are two foodstuffs I find aborrent; all -meat because I'm a vegan and the thick-skin on custard, particularly when it's on a trifle. Saying that, it may have been because of my Mother's terrible, truly terrible culinary skills! 🤔

Any cheese with fruit in it. And broccoli and Stilton soup. Like broccoli and like Stilton, but this is not a combo for a soup.

Peppers, chillies or any hot or spicy foods.
Beetroot.
Pulses. Don't like the texture.
Ketchup or bottled sauces, except mayo which I love.
Offal.
Garlic.
Creme eggs.

Mushrooms.

I actually wonder if they are even supposed to be eaten at all.

people generally would not be so keen if they knew the compound in which they are (mostly) grown, although
organic should be fine

Ziplok

Beetroot.

@#£%&&-

Me too.

Not too keen on pasta either, but beetroot I can't even touch, let alone put in my mouth.

Unfortunately I like everything 😂

At my first (and only attempt to eat oysters I thought they were disgusting; a slimy mouthful of salt water you were supposed to swallow whole... I suspect I'd be perfectly OK with them cooked but they don't come my way anyway

Yoghurt is much as previously described...

I don't care for squid either, it's like eating tasteless elastic bands but I could get it down if necessary.

Mushy peas 🤮

😂tasteless elastic bands, love it ( the description not the squid)

Good job we’re all different isn’t it? I enjoy all cheeses with fruit in and love stilton and broccoli soup😁
Hate celery raw but like it cooked.Hate all shellfish and seafood.
Any nuts unless in cake or chocolate.

Eggs in any shape or form. As a child just the smell of a cooked egg made me throw up. I can now manage to make an omelette or scrambled eggs for someone else but I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than even attempt an eggy morsel.

Pasta and mushrooms for me, apparently that is not an unusual combination to dislike.
I cannot eat white meals either so steamed fish, rice and cauliflower would be a definite no no from me.

Mushrooms, beetroot, curries, chilli, ketchup, blue cheese, most seafood, cooked celery.

Maybe that blue cheese, I can’t get near enough to taste it, the smell alone make me gip 🫢

More mild lactose intolereance, but milk, which spills over to plant milks because they lookm,like milk, yoghourt, sloppy cheeses like cottage cheese, cream cheese.

Eggs unless cooked rock hard, even then onl ascheese omelettes or scrambled egg with cheese.

Mashed potatoes; a school dinner hangover, when I started school (late 1940s) we used be given mashed potato made from potato powder, and it always had these tiny little lumps in it that made me gag.

Artificial sweeteners, I can often smell them, certainly taste them and the (unpleasant) taste stays in my mouth for hours.

In fact artificial sweeteners have driven me to drink. Now all, or all but a very few, soft drinks have artificial sweeteners when I am out in a pub or with a meal, instead of a J2O, I have half a pint of lager or bitter.

There isn’t much I dislike. I recently bought some Kimchi which blew my head off, it was so hot. So I can’t eat very hot(spices) food. But I do like spicy more mild food.
I love mussels but am allergic. I can eat gluten, but not too much.

Can’t think what else

Liver, olives, avocado, tripe, squid, mussels, whelks, …….anything from a shell actually! Stinky cheese is the food of the devil!

Mushy peas.

U was force-fed as a child, so fried and poached eggs. Rice, tapioca, custard, trifle, in fact most desserts. I could add most sauces, tuna and sardines. I could go on.

Reading these lists , I’m quite easy to please . My hate list is Liver , although I love liver pate . Oysters , too slimy . And offal , kidneys, tripe , oh and gristly meat makes me heave , which is a result of school dinners.

So many picky eaters...

Eggs Benedict is my pet hatred, combining sloppy egg with a beige sauce. Unless is a cheese sauce I hate any beige sauce on sight is probs to do with my dislike of Mayo.

I was beginning to think I was alone! Only thing I can remember having to spit out was whelks!

Urgh! I sit opposite family members as they devour this. Looks awful.

I have a problem with eggs these days, which was not always the case, I grew up on them. Now I can only eat them in certain ways, nothing with a runny yolk, they make me gag. If scrambled, the egg taste must be masked with either chives or smoked salmon. Or in a Spanish Omelette with peppers and chorizo. Don't even show me one of those wobbly but supposedly perfectly cooked poached eggs, which one of my sons tells me he's a total master at. He asked me what my aversion was, I told him it will taste of egg. Him "what's it supposed to taste of?" me "preferably something else" Although I do remember one of my most memorable meals, many years ago. An Omelette Aux Fines Herbes at a cafe on Pampelonne Beach in France. We couldn't afford anything else at the time. Absolutely the best I've ever had.

Other than that venison, I know it's a very healthy version of red meat, but too gamey for my taste.

Offal yuk! My worst meal ever - Andouillette - innards, smelt like wee. One mouthful was enough. I think when I ordered that many years ago, because of their sausage-like appearance, I'd confused them with Merguez, spicy Algerian sausages, quite prevalent in France which I do like.

Water melon - no taste.

Pomegranate - loads of seeds/pips. I remember being given one as a child and thinking "what's the point of this"

I've never had an Oyster, I don't like the idea of eating raw seafood, although I do love fish and shell fish generally.

Grits in America, vile semolina substance eaten for breakfast.

Ratatouille, macaroni cheese, that horrid white cheese with cranberries in usually seen at Christmas, halloumi, paneer, deep fried pork or prawn balls in sweet and sour, in fact anything sweet and sour, duck a l'orange, pork pies- greasy slimy things, jellied eels, tunnocks tea cakes, walnut whips, cream eggs, Jaffa cakes, soreen malt loaf, shop made custard tarts (but I love pastel de natas), cracker/biscuits with fake cheesey stuff sandwiched in between, tuc biscuits, lemon puffs.

What do you eat, *CariadAgain"?
Just to say, I'm okay with most pasta, but not spaghetti, which feels like worms in the mouth.
