What fruit/veg do you hate?

fussyonion · 31-07-2015 10:16PM #1

I will never come to terms with cauliflower being edible or parsnips being in existence.
Vile, vile things and I will never like them.

When it comes to fruit, I can't stand Golden Delicious apples..horrible boring apples in a boring shade of green, with a boring non-flavour and no juice.
And I don't care what anyone says; blueberries have no flavour.
They're just little balls of blandness.

GLaDOS · 31-07-2015 10:18PM

As soon as I saw the thread title I clicked in to say cauliflower.

And I agree on parsnips and golden delicious.

I like blueberries though.

3 out of 4 ain't bad though OP.

To add my own, I can't stand pears.

Cucumber is just blandness to me, but I know some people can taste it properly.

Hate: Cucumber

Like: Turnip

The Backwards Man · 31-07-2015 10:20PM

Carrots and turmits, can't abide either, turn my stomach in fact. Parsnips too, accidentally ate a fried parsnip slice once thinking it was a chip, by the hokie I nearly died there and then.

Love ALL the green veg.

Archeron · 31-07-2015 10:20PM

Kale. Ate some last week and not only is really vile, but it gave me thundering scutters for the whole afternoon.

Eutow · 31-07-2015 10:20PM

Onions and watermelon. Can't stand the former, the smell, the texture when you bite into it, the taste. Vile things. They even try to destroy your eyes, enough said.

Watermelon, just hate the stuff.

LETHAL LADY · 31-07-2015 10:21PM

Courgettes and aubergines are vile. I can't think of any fruits I wouldn't eat.

I used to hate pears but then I discovered you're meant to let them ripen and then...Holy Jesus, but the juice!
The FLAVOUR!
It was like tasting a pear for the very first time (*feels like Robin Beck*).

Cucumbers are a strange bunch of lads, now.
On their own or in salads, I like 'em.
But in a sandwich? Forget it; they overpower everything.

PandaPoo · 31-07-2015 10:22PM

Celery is the only one. I love the rest!

Cannot stand celery. So vile.

KKkitty · 31-07-2015 10:22PM

Fruit: Kiwi, because my teeth go funny looking at it.
Veg: Celery, because I have never liked the taste.

The Backwards Man · 31-07-2015 10:24PM

If I was to pick the three most neutral and unassuming foods I could think of they would be celery, watermelon and kale

Cucumbers make for excellent **** aids.

Particularly while in your ass.

Watermelon always LOOK like they'll taste all raspberry-ish and tangy, but they're literally just watery.
The taste lets it down.

Celery, to me, is peppery and I'd only use it in cooking.
I tried it raw and felt like a baby sucking a lemon...spat it out.

I've never had kale but it looks fierce curly and would catch in your throat?

Stop eating them raw then :cool:

Watermelon has to be one of the most disappointing foods of all time. You look at it and say "this is going to be amazing" and then... meh.

The watermelon we get in this country is indeed crap but I've had deliciously tasty watermelon abroad.

Never confuse cucumbers with turnips.

Fruit and veg.

I do.

I love onion. More flavour when it's raw. Especially white onion.

I've had really lovely watermelon too, it's not all bland

To the celery haters, you can't drink a Bloody Mary without a stalk of celery in it, you might as well down a naggin' and suck a tomato

gramar · 31-07-2015 10:34PM

I eat most fruit and veg but really dislike artichokes. I could manage them in a stir-fry but that's it.

That wood-like stuff they call bamboo shoots you sometimes get in a Chinese meal.

Aongus Von Bismarck · 31-07-2015 10:38PM

I despise baked beans. Not the beans themselves, but that lurid orange bile that passes for a sauce. Grotesque.

Thankfully I haven't had to eat them in close to 25 years. I just pity the people who do eat them.

31-07-2015 10:39PM

I hate pretty much all vegetables, which is partly why my diet sucks. I eat potato (which the food pyramid doesn't count as a vegetable), sweet potato and can stretch to eating peppers (though I still usually pick 'em out). Every thing else veggy can fúck off.

Fruit-wise, I really hate bananas* and peaches. I can stomach apples, oranges, blueberries, grapes and strawberries**. Oh and watermelon's ok. That's about it.
I like raspberry flavoured things but raspberries themselves are too bitter.

This is why I'm fat.

*Though I think I saw on QI once that they're technically a herb and not a fruit
**Also technically not a fruit, at least not the red bits anyway; the real fruits are the seeds embedded in the red bits. This may also have been on QI.

Are you trying to win us over, or push us over the edge. Love tomatoes but, not a hope I am putting in my vodka. Celery taste, it is made of ass.

Filmer Paradise · 31-07-2015 10:40PM

Brussels Sprouts.

Even the smell of them makes me ill!

What fruit/veg do you hate?
