Foods you hate

NewFrockTuesday

I made butter bean humus last night - there were a few tins of them in the cupboard and theyre a waste of space as I dont like them so take up valuble room. The humus was ok but Im not converted.

I hate spinach with a passion - absolutley disgusting, Id rather lick moss offa rock

Offal....yok...dont even want to think about it/them

Duck eggs curl my stomach for some reason even though I love hen eggs

Snails - I cant even write about them without wanting to throw up

Vodka - the smell of it makes me ill - not strictly a food I know, but its made the list anyway


Oysters - let this be the last time they are mentioned please - just type O


Monkfish - Ive never tasted it cos its just too ugly to eat. God makes things ugly for a reason and Im not questioning the big guy on this one.

Bananas that have even one speckle of black. I like them under ripe and if they go over then I just wait til they are banana bread ripe.

But most of all, the big crown goes to porridge. Everything about it I hate. Smell, sight, colour....it has not one redeeming feature for me. Except that I can make pancakes out of it and it no longer looks like pooridge. Gak.

Loads more Im sure, but Ive revolted myself enough for now. So what do the food lovers hate? Im thinking about my last meal here too. Havent decided yet.

Cauliflower, uuuuuuuuuugh i hate that stuff so much!

keane2097

jaffa20

Dizzyblonde

Offal

Saibh

I don't HATE any foods, but there are 3 that I dislike: apricots, kiwis and ginger. That's it.


And Porridge is my all time favourite food. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Often have too

Mr Magnolia

I haven't found a food yet that I dislike.

Shark, god awful stuff.

dudara

Celery is the devil vegetable. Even the smell of it makes my stomach curdle.

I dislike raw parsley, so I especially hate the people in restaurants who scatter it as a garnish over everything. Bizarrely, I don't mind it once it's been cooked i.e. parsley sauce.

445279.ie

Coleslaw :mad:

**Timbuk2**

Bananas - definitely the most disgusting food ever invented. Even the smell of banana makes me walk fast away from the source of the smell!

I hate Meat and stuff that pretends to be meat.
I'm phobic about white pan bread, the smell of it makes me sick.
Plastic cheese, lycee's aren't high up on my to do list either.

cacio

mayonaisse. despise the stuff.
*shudders*

cozmik

Avocados
Olives
Black/White Pudding
Gammon

TestTransmission

Bananas and oranges,i do like orange juice tho

deadhead13

Brussel sprouts - evil little things.

UrbanSea

Mushrooms!

Porridge. I can't even at the pot in the sink after porridge has been made in it. Ugh the bits of porridge floating around in the water make me feel sick.

Actually, any sort of cereal in milk. All soggy and horrible. Milk, except in cooking and in hot chocolate.

And mayonnaise. I hate it with a passion.

And strawberries. And apple tart.

i like nearly all food to some degree or another. the only thing that i can think of off the top of my head that i just don't like is...

...marmalade.

maybe i've only ever had cheap, Chivers stuff, but it's fairly rotten. i'm a fairly adventurous eater, and up for trying anything, but marmalade, eugh.

just thought of more - spam, pretty much any meat from a tin.

You might want to reconsider.

It is extremely unlikely that monkfish will ever be described as the most aesthetically pleasing fish in the sea. Also known as anglerfish, it has an extremely distinctive - perhaps even ferocious - appearance. Sadly, this fact alone often puts people off discovering just what a delicious eating experience monkfish can truly provide.

MONK fish is undisputedly an ugly creature but you will sure love its taste once you try it.

All parts of the monk fish, except for its lips lined with sharp teeth, can be turned into delicacies ranked among the most treasured at Japanese fine dining restaurants.

Its skin appeals with chewy texture, its meat is tender and its liver is regarded so heavenly that it is touted the foie gras of the sea.

John Dory is another ugly Mofo, one of my fav's though.

Please, no more pics of ugly fish. It really does turn my stomach.

Taken from google so I'm not sure. It looks like the non-slip rubber carpeting that you'd find on fishing boats.

I cant stand cows heart and drisheen(cows stomach)Yuch!!!!.My mother used to cook the drisheen in milk,and I dont know which was worse the heart or the drisheen.

Lundegaard

Feijoada. Kind of a black bean stew. Not nice.

Shark. Okay on the beach, sprayed with lemon and dipped in sauce, but I tried cooking it at home and it was awful.

Tomatoes. Love ketchup and tomato sauce but the actual vegetable in terrible.

Sweetcorn. Evil, full stop.

Olives. Green olives in particular, fecking disgusting.

Most cheeses are fairly gross, weird smell and texture. But the old red chedder is pretty good.

I can safely say there is nothing that I either hate, or even strongly dislike eating. There are things I'll choose not to eat if there's an alternative I prefer (who wouldn't) but I'd say I'm pretty much omnivorous. Comes from being a child of the 60's and 70's where the alternative to not eating what was served up to you was going hungry, rather than being pampered to by over-indulgent parents.

RxQueen

Spuds - i cant stand them

Stew - dear lord why was it invented

and cereal- when it goes all soggy from the milk

all 3 above makes me want to puke.. even thinking of them gives me shudders

Oh and chesseie like the real cheese.. will only eat the likes of easy singles and stuff ! :P

and olives .. the smell off the stands is horrible , dunno how anyone can like them

You live a sad life.

I'll eat pretty much anything. I'll never eat olives if given a choice. Cauliflower will be avoided, if there is other vegetables on offer.

Toto Wolfcastle

Floury potatoes are disgusting unless they are mashed really smooth with loads of butter and milk. The texture is just wrong.

Tomatoes are a fruit .

Olives are great! They're just an aquired taste. Like anchovies and strong cheese, which are also yum as long as you keep eating them till you like them.
Every food is great as long as it's fresh and prepared properly.

+1 - you ate what you were given, and accepted that some evenings you'd clear your plate with less zeal than other evenings.

Things I'm not crazy about (some of which may come as a surprise):

Steak. Bores me. And I have access to some of the most incredible beef rib-eyes, well-hung, for the barbecue, that you could get anywhere in the world. And it STILL bores me.

Oysters. Just can't do 'em.

Prawn heads on a teppanyaki grill - the leggies make them look like huntsmen spiders. They're the only thing I've said outright 'I can't eat those' in about 20 years, and never even tried them.

Mussells. I steer clear of them because I've had them, prepared badly, too many times.

That's it though. There's no other cut of meat that I won't eat, I'll happily prepare and cook offal (and sometimes quite enjoy its richness in contrast to other textures and flavours in a meal - steak & kidney pie is FTW) and I'll eat any vegetable that's served up to me (though if I'm cooking myself there are some I tend to buy less often).

NibNib

I can't eat lamb, goats cheese, goats milk... Anything mutton, lamb, sheep, goat...

I also hate kidneys... Haven't tried livers yet but I have a feeling I won't be in love with them neither...

Melange

There are only two foodstuffs that I absolutely can't abide: tomatoes and mayonnaise.

This is an utter pain when I'm in a ruch and would like a pre-packaged sandwich or roll. Good luck finding any without either of those two ingredients!

I do find sun-dried tomatoes alright, though. The more sun-driedish they are, the more palatable they become.

that makes sense, the tomatoes sold in ireland are actually awful.
Usually good tomatoes are a lot sweeter and less sour than the ones sold here.

Colslaw...... I find this country ( Ireland ) has an obsession with it, it's on everything even on chips for gods sake !!!!

polipo

Only three things: cooked oranges, chicory and the almondy flavour of marzipan (almonds themselves are fine though)
