I love just about anything vegetable and vegetable soup is my ‘go to’ comfort food, but I cannot stomach butternut squash under any circumstances. It really surprised me that I hated it the first time I tried a butternut squash soup, and it seems to be everywhere these days!

My sister-in-law tried to fool me by not telling me it was in a vegetable soup she made, but my stomach knew. It came back up faster than it went down. My sister-in-law is a very good cook btw so there was nothing intrinsically wrong with the soup.

Any fellow sufferers?

Garlic - it seems to be added to everything these days.

Black forest gateau, strawberry ice-cream, more than one mouthful of chocolate.
Tripe: back in the student days bought some with a friend as it was cheap - it went in the bin after we tried cooking in milk & fried.
Now don't eat any meat at all.
DM used to make Ground rice pudding with raisins ? yet I don't mind semolina?

I have tried these and still don't like them:
Marzipan
Most nuts but especially almonds - unless ground in a cake, coconut - unless milk, hazelnuts and worst of all walnuts
Oranges - unless it's the juice
Semolina
Parsnips
Wholemeal bread

Can’t think of anything I hate, so reading all the above lists is making me hungry. My wife can’t stand okra and not keen on coriander.

Just can't summon up enthusiasm for any food at the moment. I think I fancy something but after a couple of bites I've lost interest..... except chocolate of course!

Grandma70s Sat 27-Feb-21 19:32:58

Avocado, sushi (Have to admit I have never actually tried either, but I know I hate them.)

Susiewong65 Sat 27-Feb-21 19:21:41

Courgettes - and their adults (marrows).
Runny eggs.
Black pudding.

NotAGran55 Sat 27-Feb-21 19:05:08

Tea, jam, crumpets, malt loaf. Afternoon tea from hell .

hollysteers Sat 27-Feb-21 19:04:21

Not food, but I cannot drink tea out of my own house as I fuss around with manuka honey and it has to be a certain shade etc. Coffee is fine as more standardised.
I also cannot bear ice in anything unless it is very hot weather.

Marmite, Peanut butter

NellG Sat 27-Feb-21 18:58:39

Avocado is repulsive. Coriander tastes like bleach. Quinoa because pronouncing it is too pretentious, and Chia seeds...because, just, why??

Casdon Sat 27-Feb-21 18:50:36

Tea
Cucumber
Melon
Sushi, particularly with raw fish - yuck
Tonic water

Charleygirl5 Sat 27-Feb-21 18:42:14
