Foods You Hate

black liquorice

Who gave their toddler a DL account?

Well, you sound like a real treat to be around at dinner time.

You're just a shitty cook.

raisins

hardboiled egg

couscous

liver

What, no LIVER?

Brussels Sprouts do not taste like Satan's asshole.

Sea urchin does.

Black licorice, anything with anise in it, okra, whisky.

Lima beans.

Actually baked beans and beans of most any sort.

And yes liver. It's child abuse to force your kid to eat that.

I love black liquorice/fennel/anise, R1.

I refuse to eat chitterlings, calves' liver, brains, pig's feet, etc. I once had a cow tongue sandwich when I was about eleven, and liked it. So, I'l be willing to try it again.

That's about it, really.

I don't like cooked bell peppers and agree with your substitution.

Baileys Irish Cream

coconut

Sea urchin, Marshmallows and Offal.

Brussels sprouts

Lima beans

Liver

Collard Greens

Duck

Lamb

Goat

Peas

Frog legs

Escargot

Honeydews

Grapefruit

Unholy fish

Kidney Beans

Raw seafood, eggs that are not cooked through, and those horrid Irish sweet potato candies that will be in all the stores soon, although I guess they don't really qualify as food.

I'm the opposite of OP - I love green bell peppers and hate poblano peppers, which are way too slimy.

r14 Yes, Sea Urchin!! Tried it once and let's say that's a taste/texture I never want to experience again 🤣

Okra is DISGUSTING. Even fried.

Liverwurst. The smell alone is vomit-inducing.

Sweet wine.

Foie gras

Pussy

Blue cheese. The thought of it makes my gorge rise.

Sweet potatoes, yams, watermelon, strawberry shortcake, and the worst combo ever invented: chocolate and peanut butter!

Dirt

Sweet potato, persimmons, guava.

Add papaya to my list.

Durian. End of thread.

OP- You need a SHRINK

Sperhüven Krispies, a foul-smelling Scandinavian midnight snack. They are eaten with one hand closing the nostrils and one hand popping a Krispy into the mouth. Even though they smell horrible, they taste like cheesecake, fresh strawberries, and chocolate ice cream.

Mushrooms are vile. Utterly vile. The very smell makes me want to vomit. Horrible texture. Just disgusting.

Why the FUCK do people ruin food by putting this shitty fungus in it?

People think it’s odd but I don’t like apples or pears.

Cilantro tastes like poison!

Anchovies - ESPECIALLY on Pizza

I live shrimp, but those tiny shrimp used in salads are ghastly.

Shiitake mushrooms - absolutely vile texture

Olives of any kind. Olive oil is good

gamalost - stinky Norwegian Cheese

Blood Sausage

I used to love shrimp as a kid. Now it tastes weird with the exception of freshwater shrimp.

Not a fan of black licorice, anise or fennel but fennel doesn't seem as bad as the other two.

Okra is fine if properly cooked and not slimy.

Liver is vile.

Also, liverwurst is NOT a substitute for pâté .

I cant do cilantro. Hate cucumber, celery (except with blue cheese and walnuts), bechamel sauce, arugula and I HATE sauteed onions. Oh and Brocoli is another one

Anything hot and spicy. I don't like my mouth and throat burning and I also have stomach issues that can't take heat.

I learned to love black licorice when I met my best friend and true love Sambuca. Mama mia!

A lot of unsophisticated palates surprisingly. Some tastes are just acquired and associated with a positive experience.

Mayonnaise!

Cilantro tastes like soap. I know ! My mother tried to clean up my mouth el the soap bar way.

Pussy is definitely an acquired taste. Not for baby tastes.

Fugu

Sushi. I just don't get it.

Brussel Sprouts and cooked spinach. 🤮

i don't like the mouthfeel of mushrooms. They don't have any discernable taste to me either.

any organ meats

fennel

head cheese

r47 I just threw up in my mouth. Thanks

I HATE cilantro, but love love love black licorice. I wonder if people who love one usually hate the other? Apparently dislike of cilantro is partially genetically determined.

[quote]I won't eat Brussels sprouts. I don't care how they are prepared they still taste like Satan's asshole.

Thinking of Tom Ellis next time I have brussels sprouts.

Some taste reactions are actually genetic. Cilantro really does taste like soap to some people.

Green peppers ARE nasty....they're UNRIPE peppers!

Licorice is vile.

Peanut butter is disgusting (it's the texture) but I love Thai peanut sauce.

Not crazy about black olives but I like green ones.

Honeydew melon

Honeydew melon is my favorite fruit BUT if its unripened or bad then it is absolutely vile. Its always a risk.

I heard that in the United States honeydew melons are usually sold unripe. Is it true? If yes, I feel bad for you. Ripe ones are amazing!

Shit.

Organ meats

Beets

Mushrooms

Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing. It's like some monstrous, fermented pancake syrup. And I've tried several different kinds, they are all awful. I cannot believe people willingly put that shit on their salad.

Raw mushrooms taste like dirt to me.

And bacon. I know there's this huge bacon cult out there that thinks it's the greatest food ever invented, but I think it tastes gross.

Oh, and pimento cheese, which I'd never seen or heard of until I moved to Texas. That's some nasty shit.

All of it.

All the food.

Except diet soda and laxatives, that is!

[quote]Olives of any kind. Olive oil is good

Completely agree, R34. I cannot fathom why people ruin a perfectly good pizza by putting olives on it. Utterly disgusting.

[quote]i don't like the mouthfeel of mushrooms. They don't have any discernable taste to me either.

They have such a STRONG and VILE taste that even if a tiny little speck of mushroom enters my mouth, I can't get the goddamned vile vomit-inducing taste out of my mouth for minutes... ugh. They make me puke. And the STENCH of white mushroom sauteeing in butter will make me gag until I vomit. LITERALLY. I can't even take the smell of them on a pizza. It makes me gag from three feet away.

I have no idea how anyone can tolerate that vile substance anywhere near them, let alone EAT it.

I'll eat what you don't like. I'm hungry.

I forgot to mention peanut butter. It REEKS.

Glad to see somebody else hates mushrooms as much as I do.

I really hate kale. I have had it prepared every which way and cooked it myself every which way. I appreciate its purported nutritional value. But it tastes like lawn clippings. And I am a greens-and-vegetable fan! InstaCart mysteriously subbed a bunch of kale for leaf lettuce a couple days ago. That shit went in the trash and I got a refund.

Papaya does taste like puke. Cilantro ruins everything. Celery, olives and green pepper are very bitter to me. Lima beans and raw tomato are a texture issue. No tripe! (most other offal is fine) Blue cheese, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, and cucumber (including pickles) are nasty! Not a fan of strawberry anything.

OTOH... I like durian and anchovies, and will eat liver. How can someone hate raisins? Okra is fine, except in gumbo (yuk).

The one item I eat now that I used to dislike would be cooked spinach.

R64 - you eat kale as part of a greens mix, or as soup greens, not as a sole/primary salad like lettuce or spinach! It's nasty on its own.

R49 - I'd like to try the salmiak (extra strong) licorice sometime.

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with your taster if you hate strawberries and cucumbers, but love durian and anchovies. BLECH. That's so backwards.

Thank you so MUCH, -R65- for educating my damned palate. Go stuff some durian up your ass.

r66, is it Darfur Orphan?

Anyone had an encounter with Stinky Tofu before? Now that's an aroma and taste you'll never forget 🤢!

How double dare you R6.

Pickled beets & black eyed peas are the two foods I hate the most.

Guava

Chestnuts

Corn meal mush

Cilantro Truffles (my husband bought truffle-flavored crackers from Whole Foods and I was literally scraping my tongue to get the taste out of my mouth) Frog legs 🤢

R73 here, apparently I don’t know how to make a list. Cilantro and truffles are two different items, not “cilantro truffles” - that sounds absolutely horrifying.

Olives always looked disgusting to me. I tried an olive once in 1996, that was it for me. I do love olive oil, though.

Mushrooms, ugh. Of all things to eat.

Some of you are, how shall I say it....a bit delicate?

Well then, what's your hated food, R76?

Doggy Chow

R77 see my post at R47.

Love,

R76

What R56 said, with the exception of well done, stuffed mushrooms.

Add sushi to the list. I can’t handle the raw and slimy texture.

Unclean ass.

Kidneys, Tripe

I can do sushi, but not sashimi.

Liver

Kidneys

Broccoli

Egg Plant

R79 Touché

I have Miracle Whip PTSD already.

I agree. Celery is a braising root only. It is offensive raw.

Anything pumpkin. Baked pumpkin, pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup (bleargh!), pumpkin spice, etc. - I don't get how people love this shit so much.

bugs

Liver, fish, mayonnaise, ketchup, sauerkraut (excepting Polish kraut), brussel sprouts, asparagus, clams, oysters, scallops, cows tongue, blue cheeses, fit fit, eggs that aren't scrambled or thoroughly cooked, blood sausages - most foods where blood is important (e.g. cabidela), goat, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, chocolate cherry cordials, fruit and meat dishes of any sort, etc.

I could go on.

[quote]Foods You Hate

i don't hate foods, but I do hate babies who complain about food

Face it. You’re limited.

R90, are you Faye Dunaway?

Chocolate-covered cherries.

The Victorians felt celery was a delicacy. And they had special vases to display it

How the fuck does anyone hate chocolate covered cherries? (And I mean, in a list of 'foods you hate', how is that the ONLY food you list?!?)

^^ They've had their chocolate cherries popped under less than desirable circumstances.

I'll pelt you with my measuring cups, R93

Love all these things you hate, particularly fresh green pepper and garlic roasted Brussel sprouts. Can not tolerate mayonnaise and chitterlings. Won't do it. Mushrooms activate my gag reflex too.

What's "fit fit" R90?

When we'd brunch at an establishment the included black pudding as part of the offering, my ex would shovel his onto my plate as soon as the server was gone.

Bone marrow (tastes like old, crusted nasty spunk), sea urchin - likewise, but old crusted spunk of the sea; any organ meats, overripe banana and anything used with it like banana bread; cauliflower used as a "grain" - no it's gassy farty weepy disgust; yellow squashes and most squash except zucchini; anything iron-y or tasting like blood; sashimi, poke and nigiri sushi - anything with big hunks of raw fish besides rolls; fresh "milk" cheese; any really disgusting strong smelling cheese and the rinds of soft cheese; milk in general, cottage cheese, ricotta; (gross); agree with black eyed peas being disgusting. Any weird processed meats like head cheese or olive loaf or pigs feet or spam or pork roll - if it needs that much help to be palatable, it's gotta be wrong.

Pancakes, waffles and any yeasty breakfast items like danishes or pastries - barf. Same yeast taste in Belgian beer. Disgusting.

I feel sorry for R101.

Mushrooms

I don't eat sugar but hate nothing. I am grateful to have food.

me too

Eggs of any kind. I've been known to gag like an obnoxious child at picnics after biting into an egg in potato salad.

No Fool, it's not the only food I hate. I listed others earlier in the thread. But they are repulsive (like fruitcake.) I'll send you the leftovers, bit into and discarded, the next time I get a chocolate sampler.

[quote] bugs

I cannot believe this.

Tarragon is disgusting.

I can eat green olives all day long, But black olives I can only eat if they're an accompaniment of some other dish. Alone they are vile.

Mushrooms

[quote]Pancakes, waffles and any yeasty breakfast items like danishes or pastries - barf.

I see you woke up today and chose violence. Pancakes, waffles, danishes, and pastries are delicious and one of the few things that make life worth living.

(for the record, none of those things listed contain any actual yeast)

Danish and some pastries contain yeast, r112.

Rabbit Limburger cheese Pickled fish of any sort Fried kippers Fried eggs with half raw yolks spilling out Canned mushrooms, disgusting! foul!

And my all time most hated:

“Everything” bagels!! I swear the garlic/onion/god knows what stench permeates everyone and everything in its path for days

[quote]I won't eat Brussels sprouts. I don't care how they are prepared they still taste like Satan's asshole.

Did you learn that from your own experience or did your mother share hers with you, OP?

SPAM.

[quote]“Everything” bagels!! I swear the garlic/onion/god knows what stench permeates everyone and everything in its path for days

The worst is going to Panera or some other goyische bagel emporium, and getting your Cinnamon Crunch bagel all full of "everything" as it passes through the slicer. NASTY!

beets, pretzels

Cauliflower, Coffee, spam, pepper,

Once I would have said Limburger cheese. But honestly, once you get past the horrendous smell, it tastes quite mild and is actually pretty good.

On the other hand, I dislike sweet potatoes, ranch dressing, licorice of any kind, and refried beans.

Goat cheese

Definitely goat cheese. If you've ever smelled rutting goats, that's what that shit tastes like. It's VILE.

Love goat cheese and sweet potatoes. Not a fan of beets

Radishes

Green Peppers

Raw Coconut

Apples

Uncooked Carrots (but I liked them cooked).

Walnuts

Wafer Cookies

Dark Chocolate

Scallops

[quote] I love green bell peppers and hate poblano peppers, which are way too slimy.

R17, poblano peppers are never slimy, unless they're going over, and have begun to deliquesce.

Try some fresher peppers.

Raw onions & green onions

Head cheese

Pigs’ feet

Biscuits & gravy (mostly the gravy, I like biscuits)

Cabbage

R102 - “ I feel sorry for [R101].”

So do I. And I’m sure we are not alone in our sentiment, R102.

Mushrooms are not vegetables and not meat. Ew.

Things without backbones. Ew.

👅 tongue

Liver

R100 - fit fit is an Ethopian dish made with shredded injera (more often than not) and shiro or some other sauce mixed together. Too soggy.

"That bothers me"

[quote] Celery is a braising root only. It is offensive raw.

You should try a stalk stuffed with my home made pimento cheese. DELISH!

Watermelon, or any other type of melon for that matter, but especially watermelon. To me, it tastes somewhat like diluted beet juice with sugar added. Even the smell is repugnant.

I’m not a hummus fan

r17 ugh exactly, thank you!

I briefly dated two (!) guys (at different early stages of my young moronic single life in Manhattan) who were both obsessed with everything bagels and wanted to eat them in bed on Sunday mornings as we read the NY times; as I was dickmatized and stupid back then I allowed it and ultimately had to throw those sheets away!

Those bagels truly are the covid 19 of nyc delis, infecting everything and everyone within range.

Count me as another hater of Spam. And cube steaks. My parents never cooked the latter properly. They were always tough and tasteless.

Cooked green peppers in anything...they foul the whole dish.

Onions. It's the texture, I don't mind the taste.

Ketchup. Everything about it is foul.

I love Ketchup

I hate beets, yet eat watermelon, R135.

I hate steak, cheese, chocolate and ice cream.

And bread totally grosses me out.

Fennel as a vegetable. Seed and leaf are fine but as a vegetable it's disgusting.

Peas, any kind of bean, cilantro, sushi, raw celery, sweet potato, mushrooms, ricotta cheese

Oh, and that vile raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing

I don't have a refined palate in the least. And I'm not a picky eater. But I hate chocolate anything unless it's paired with something else.

R144 is deeply disturbed and I could never ever dine with them. They are too freakish.

Creme de menthe. Mint and chocolate is a no-no for me.

r150, there is no chocolate in creme de menthe.

R149, your refusal to dine with me makes me feel Infinitesimal sorrow. I guess I get all the goat cheese, mushrooms and olives for myself!

My bad R151. I remember eating some chocolates that had creme de menthe in them and I thought they were ghastly. I should have clarified.

Lima beans. They were a staple dinner vegetable in the 60s-70s. Ordinarily, I like all other beans.

Any Indian food, and especially curry. Not a fan of that cuisine.

"Specifically, curry"

Dude... there are like a hundred kinds of 'curry'. WTF are you even talking about. You weren't being even remotely "specific".

It's like "I hate American, especially sandwiches!"

Interesting the amount of mushroom haters here.

I've always found dick to have the slightly earthy, sour smell of mushrooms. Not unappealing.

Anyone else?

Maybe r155 doesn’t like curry powder, r156.

R156 Comprehension problems? I specifically said INDIAN CUISINE, ergo, any CURRY that is used therein.

Yikes Chicken Curry and Butter Chicken are probably in my top 3 of favorite dishes. And I put curry powder on my french fries sometimes too.

Even though I love tomato raw, or in any sauce form, fresh tomato that is either cooked, warmed up or put in an oven and broiled is repugnant to me...the mushy texture....the fact that it looses all its flavor...blegh.

Beets

Gag me!

That's like saying "I hate spices!"

IT IS NOT SPECIFIC.

"Curry" isn't one thing. There are hundreds of kinds.

Definition of "Curry": a food, dish, or sauce in Indian cuisine seasoned with a mixture of pungent spices

MIXTURE. Tons of kinds. All sorts of mixtures. Red curry, green curry, yellow curry... and a hundred varieties of each. Some mild. Some hot.

When someone tell me "I hate curry" all they're telling me is they're ignorant and have no idea what they're talking about.

[quote]Interesting the amount of mushroom haters here.

Isn't it, R157?

Reading the whole thread in a binge, overall it looks artificial, as though a lot of users are bumping it along with socks, expressing repeats of the same sentiments. What's the point of that shit?

Tiresome.

I love Indian cuisine. Chinese, on the other hand... I don't get why it's so popular.

Salted caramel.

However, I really love caramel but the salted type short circuits my taste buds, and it's frustrating to see that it has become prevalent in ice cream and candies.

I don't outright hate it but I do not get the sea salt and chocolate craze. Those 2 flavors Just. Do. Not. Fit. I eat it and think "I'm eating chocolate with nasty salt on it". Thats it.

However you take peanut butter and sea salt and now we're cooking.

[quote] I hate steak, cheese, chocolate and ice cream.

[quote] And bread totally grosses me out.

And what do you LIKE? You're weird.

Instant mashed potatoes.

R162 & R156 is a triggered South Asian.

Do fuck off already.

Yes! R168. I realize the time it takes to prepare fresh mashed potatoes versus the boxed kind is a 30 to 40 minute spread, but please, that instant crap is akin to sheetrock spackle. Dreadful.

Fresh mashed please, with butter, some milk, and a dash of salt and pepper. Thank you.

Once I learned how to make them from scratch r170, I never looked at another box of instant. Even if I am too lazy, the ready made ones from Jimmy Dean or Simply Potatoes will do nicely. But never instant.

Who let the toddlers out?

R167, my taste includes both snails and oysters.

Oh hi, Crassus ❤

Mayonnaise American Cheese Mac & Cheese Oreos Bologna Chicken Wings Bit O Honey, Circus Peanuts, Black Licorice & other Halloween candy forms of child abuse Tapioca Pudding Rice Pudding Sweet & Sour style Cantonese Food Beef cooked to "well done"

I’m a vegetarian, but I didn’t HATE meat. I just don’t want to eat it now. There aren’t a lot foods I really hate now.

I was very picky about vegetables as a kid and even up to my late 20s about some of them. HATED tomatoes, which I love now, along with most other vegetables. I’m still not big on a lot of peas and beans unless they are in a soup. I can eat a little bit of beets before the texture starts to get to me.

I hate sauerkraut. I’ve tried it, and I just can’t. I also hate anything with fake chocolate taste, like Slim Fast.

I am glad I continued to

Sorry..meant to say

I am glad I continued to try to eat things so I wouldn’t have “baby tastes” as an adult. My boyfriend won’t eat onions, nuts, or any fruit!

Pasta

A lot of people hate mushrooms because mushrooms are disgusting. They're a fungus that grows in the dark on horse shit. They taste and smell awful, and the spongy texture is awful, and everything about them is awful, and you really need to stop ruining perfectly good food by contaminating them with that garbage.

Yet there are people who love eating mushrooms. Just as there are people who love eating the remains of dead animals or eating organisms that grow out or excrment, such as broccoli.

I bought some ground lamb and made Greek stuffed peppers. I browned the lamb with garlic and onion. Then mixed it with rice, feta, dill, and allspice before stuffing the peppers and covering them with tomato sauce flavored with a little sugar and lemon.

....

Bacon, salami, ham, any of those cured or processed meats, also corned beef. Too salty, and I find the taste unpleasant, always have

Also with R165 on salted caramel, yuck. I cant stand caramel anyway, and salt makes it even worse

Not wild about pumpkin if its just cooked in chunks, as a soup or pie or anything else its great though

For the edification of you anti-NaCl freaks!

I have a strong aversion to bitter tastes so I don't like coffee, hops, grapefruit, or most red wines. Bell peppers, beets, and black licorice. Anything else I can tolerate even if I dislike it but I'll pretty much reject anything with these ingredients. Bell peppers are a maybe - I love salsa and plenty of things I enjoy eating have bell peppers diced and cooked with it, I think it has to do with the size and texture in the dish itself. On sandwiches, pizza, kebab, etc. I find it disgusting.

[quote]I continued to try to eat things so I wouldn’t have “baby tastes” as an adult.

As a child, you anticipated accusations of having "baby tastes," r177?

Cilantro

Lima beans
