Fresh milk as a drink or anything where the fresh milk smell/taste remains. Even as toddler I would not drink it. I dislike it so much it makes me heave and throw-up.

Otherwise I am happy with it milk in cooked-in dishes, cheese I adore, but I also cannot eat yoghourt or cottage cheese, I do not throw up but I feel queasy.

Crab ?
and eels (my dad used to eat the small ones caught locally in the River Severn and he called them elvers).

Tripe and all types of shell fish as well as snails and frog legs.

Just looked it up.

Caponisation is illegal in Britain, but is freely practised in Europe still.

My mum used to refer to a capon as a ‘castrated cock’?

I have never, nor will I ever eat snails, oysters, jellied eels, or anything else slimy.?

I don’t think ‘they’ are allowed to caponise, if that’s the word, nowadays.

I'm not sure where I saw an article about smoked eel, but I have not ever tried it, and in fact have never seen it available. I had to look up to see if we have eel in Canada, and we do not have any native eels on the west coast.

I think I would try it if I was offered some, but would not go out and seek it.

I won't try raw sushi. I have seen worms in fresh fish so nothing would induce me to eat it.
I never eat raw meat either, so steak tartare is out.

Black pudding - the sight of it is off putting.

Sushi - just don’t like the idea of raw fish although I happily eat many other kinds, both fresh and tinned.

Prunes - horrid memory of being made to eat one in a school meal when I was five. I held it in my mouth as I left the canteen, planning to dispose of it in the playground bin, but I was spotted. I guess I must have looked like a hamster with a bulging cheek!

Mine in a topical one .
I have never eaten turkey.

When I was a child we had a capon at Christmas for some reason . I haven’t ever heard of one since ? Did I imagine it ?

From the age of about 18 I stopped eating meat and will now never taste it .
