Foods you never liked the look of

Away With The Fairies

I'm pushing 40 in age and I have never eaten an avacado until about a week ago. I just never liked the look of them.

I don't know what made me try one but I can't stop eating them now.

So is anyone else like me, never tried food because of how it looks?

Even how you describe it so negatively has already turned you mentally off it so it will be very difficult for you to overcome it.

Very few foods I don't eat or like (celery and tofu maybe) which is great when travelling and opens up a whole world of food and enjoyment.

Yeah, I get what you're saying but that is what oysters look like to me. I love fish but shellfish and seafood just make me think of insects which I have a phobia of, so I was never going to give them a chance. But oysters just look vile. The only other food I won't eat based purely on how it looks is blue, veiny, furry cheese. To me, that's rotting food.

If the prawns are wiggling on your plate then you should send them back.

You have to look at them if you're gonna pick one up and throw it in your gob. how anyone could look at a quivering glob of puss and want to eat it is beyond me

Sushi.

No.

I was once like you but then I learned that it's wrong to dislike Sushi...wrong I tells ya!
My opinion changed when my Polish friend made deep fried sushi one evening. To be fair, that kind of defies the law of sushi but it was delicious. I totally get why you wouldn't like it but would you maybe try avacado sushi or some vegetable you like? I find it fun eating sushi cos of all the condiments...I love a good condiment (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

Mussels though, I can only eat them if I've had a couple of drinks, just hideous looking, but they taste pretty good.

I would eat and appreciate all foods. The only ones I wouldn't eat are the poisonous fish that you have to be trained to prepare and the stuff you see on Idiot Abroad like baby chicken foetus. Also fried insects or such like.

I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to food but never got sushi. It's not even the raw fish but the cold sticky rice, yuk!

Sorta "what's the point" without the soy sauce, wasabi and kimchi. Very morish when you get into it though.

White cabbage is fine raw but when cooked it's vile.

Pate. Never eat anything that looks the same going in as it does coming out.

Blue Waffles . Never liked the look of them, couldn't bring myself to taste one.

I'm a bit of a fussy eater, but most things I don't like are down to texture rather than look (taste does come into it, but that can be acquired).

I think asparagus looks hideous. Looks like something that could grow our though your stomach if you ate it.

Why anyone would eat pumpkin or butternut squash after opening it up is beyond me - both are like gutting a decaying orange animal.

Lentils are ok if mixed in with something else, but a portion of them on a plate looks like a mass of cockroach eggs.

Corn.. Except when in a Kelloggs box.

Curry cheese chips.

A food that looks worse going into your mouth than it does after coming out of your arse.

After 14 pints a curry cheese chips is the food of the gods....

Bigos, tasty as feck though.

Badly Drunk Boy

I've always been a bit funny about food, very fussy since I was a kid.From a visual point of view, I don't like peas but especially mushy peas, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, spaghetti bolognese, lasagne, scrambled eggs (although I don't eat any type of egg), tinned fish like sardines, pizza, fried tomatoes, any cooked fruit that turn to mush (like in tarts), and many more I'm sure.

The list of stuff that I don't actually eat is much longer. I only tried gravy for the first time in my early 30s. :eek:

fussyonion

Porridge, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese.

IAMAMORON

Red Cabbage.

razorblunt

Controversial ... Lasagne.

Don't get me wrong, if its cooked for me, I'll eat it but I will never order it or cook it myself.
I've never looked at something eating it or if it was on a tv advert and thought "I'd murder a lasagne right about now" like I would do for steaks, burgers or other pasta dishes.

This. A million times this. I can't even bring myself to wash the pot after my wife does scrambled eggs. I can eat meringue, mayonnaise, cakes, pancakes, but not straight up eggs.

Even the kids eat them, but they know that "Daddy doesn't egg"
