Celery is one for me and also those tiny little corn cobs you get in Chinese cuisine. The other day I had a jackfruit smoothie. Yuck, sounds nice, tastes vile.

Okra, chickpeas (like eating wooden match sticks) anything aniseedy. And sticky toffee pudding. The very smell of it sets my teeth on edge.

Hummus! Just the thought makes me nauseous! wink
Not too fond of thick pastas. I like the thin airy kind, angel hair, orzo, acini de pepe.

When I was little I hated swede and broad beans with a vengeance……I love both now.

I know what you mean - I detested parsnips when I was young and now I love them. Unfortunately they are very expensive here, probably the wrong climate.

Beetroot though it is said to be good for high blood pressure which I have.

Brussels sprouts!

I don’t think I dislike any food, although …..please don’t throw rocks at me……… I can’t see the appeal of ‘fish and chips’ 🙈
