Foods you love and hate at the same time

Tzardine

I was munching my cornflakes this morning when it dawned on me that they are made of corn. Stupid I know but I never thought about it. I absolutely hate corn, could not eat corn on the cob or sweetcorn if you paid me. It got me thinking of some other foods which I cant stand but eat variants of , for example, I cant stand tomato sauce. It is foul. But I can eat beans or pizza all day long.

Does anybody else have any weird contradictions in what they like / dont like ?

Raw tomatoes or tomatoes in a sauce = yes. Horrible wet, gritty grilled or baked tomatoes = no.

Ketchup, mayo, BBQ sauce, butter = yes. Too much (and there's a fine, fine line between a tasty amount and a disgusting amount for me) ketchup, mayo, BBQ sauce, butter or any of it somewhere I wasn't expecting it = no

Apples = yes. Apple sauce or an apple pie where the apple is baked into mush = no. I keep forgetting this and making apple sauce to go with porridge then having a blinding recollection of how much I don't like it when I ruin my breakfast.

Eggs = yes. Eggs cooked by anyone else but me = no. Eggs with any amount of liquid white = no.

Salmon = yes. Tinned salmon ("eat the bones! It's all part of the goodness!") = gag

Gloomtastic!

You're all feckin' mad I tell ya!

MMMMMMM Salmon bones! Or any other tinned fish bones - I take them out and save them for last so I can have one lovely mouthful of crunchy, calcium-y nourishing fish bones!

Iv never liked chicken keives. I have chicken regally and like garlic cloves, garlic bread, etc but just cant stand the two together.

At least I know we'll never fall out over a tin of salmon If we ever have to split one you can have *all* the bones. And all of the salmon too, come to think of it.

No picking on people's spelling, thanks.

I am not so wild about the fish bit. I could take it or leave it.

But if it ever comes to it that it is just you and me and a tin of salmon left in the world, I will remember your offer...

These are probably just the synthetic flavourings that you hate.

fussyonion

I love anything apple-flavoured but I don't like apples.
I like milk in my tea, over cereal or in porridge, but can't stand it on its' own.
I like broccoli and I like cheese but I would never eat a broccoli and cheese soup.

shane.

Me too, but I had mushy peas at Rick Stein's restaurant in Cornwall a few years ago and I must say they were pretty good. As far as I remember they had shredded mint in them.

nicowa

Love baked beans. Hate all those beans in a chilli (for example). Kidney beans fill me with dread....

Likewise, I had mushy peas in the East Avenue Café in Killarney two years ago & they were awsome. But, your bog standard mushy peas are the devil's snot.

The Pheasant2

Hate fish. Despise the stuff.

Like Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce though

Hmmm, thanks for that mental picture. I am quietly confident that I will never be tempted to try the tinned ones again.:p

sudzs

Gag on tomato juice. Add to it Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, a bit of celery salt and a slosh of vodka and I can't get enough of the stuff!!!

Minder

Red peppers. Can't be doing with raw red pepper. But a roast skinned red pepper served warm in a pepper salad with anchovy, garlic, capers, basil and good olive oil? That's a thing of beauty.

chinacup

Love cheese but the lactose intolerant in me doesn't =(

2Mad2BeMad

this might sound like a mammys boy (I know this is for food only) but i can't enjoy tea unless she makes it
I don't even like my own tea
some how she makes it just right from those cheap aldi tea bags :L

also apples- love apples/ hate apple juice, apple pie etc...

homemadecider

I like raw almonds and smoked almonds... hate marzipan. Really goddamn hate the stuff. Just thinking about it makes me irrationally angry.

killanena

I hate onions with a passion. I mean I reeeeally F'N HATE THEM!! The mere sight and smell of them is enough to make me gang. The world would be a much much more happier place if they didn't exist for me. Im not a single bit picky when it comes to food. Id try anything but onions can go F themselves.

cletus van damme

i like chocolate

but i don't like chocolate with bread( flour based products).
chocolate cakes are out although biscuits are in.

stevenmu

HATE mushrooms.

Love mushroom soup. (and mushroom risotto with all the big bits of mushroom picked out)

Mr. CooL ICE

Love spuds, love mayonnaise, love onions and love scallions. But potato salad makes me gag

THis thread is meant to be about ones you love & also hate, you just said hate. My friend despises onions if you can see them at all, if liquidized, like into a curry, he has no issue.

Has anybody made marzipan from scratch with just almonds & sugar (no essence) and find it nasty?

I have seen a few ingredients for various brands which showed no essence, but they might be able to legally omit it from lists if its in a very small amount -which may be more than enough to taste vile.

rubadub wrote: »

The almond chemical in the essence is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzaldehyde

Hate the stuff, love almonds though. I remember we always had "almond fingers" in the house and it used to piss me off that I hated these cakes with no other cakes about. I used to say they shouldn't be allowed call them almond fingers. Now I have the new name, Benzaldehyde Fingers, a horrible name that suits them perfectly.

I like peanuts and I like chocolate, but I absolutely despise peanuts and chocolate together...

Davarus Walrus

I love pineapple as a fruit. But its reputation has been grievously damaged by it being added to curries, coleslaw, salads and other places where it just doesn't belong.

purmary

I also love potatoes but hate chips!!

This reminded me - I love raisins and chocolate separately but I can't stand them when they're together. Yuck.
