This does not include allergies or special diets, just pure dislike for taste or texture. The only thing I can possibly think of is liver.

SunnyDays Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Raw tomatoes. I cannot eat raw tomatoes to save my life, on a sandwich or otherwise. Any tomatoes that are cooked and chopped and in a dish, or tomato based sauces, etc. are just fine. Just not the raw ones. I can't decide if it's taste, texture, or a bit of both.

Night Elf Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I've been losing my taste for meat, but I'm not replacing it with healthy things like fruit and veggies. Really, I rarely eat more than an ounce and I prefer meat that is slow cooked in a crockpot. Anything baked or broiled is just yuck. When we eat out, I end up with pasta or fish.

KungFuPanda Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 And I don't mean something exotic, I mean everyday foods you can readily get at your local grocery store like Kroger. This does not include allergies or special diets, just pure dislike for taste or texture. The only thing I can possibly think of is liver. I seem hyper sensitive to certain bitter flavors. I like the contrast of bitterness, BUT some foods are way too much for me. I cannot enjoy beer, coffee, or brussel sprouts. The one time I tasted eel I was blown away by a bitterness my husband could not taste, so I really think it's just me. Other than that, I eat about EVERYTHING else (that's real food).

Dobela Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Coconut - combination of taste and texture. :iagree:Finally, someone who thinks like me!!! I can't stand coconut. The shredded kind has a metalic taste to me and the fresh is just gross. I don't mind coconut milk in recipes but beyond that keep away! My others are beets and shrimp.

mommymilkies Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Shrimp, scallops, bologna, dark meat on poultry, and undercooked eggs or meat (I want my steak literally burnt). I like the taste, but not texture, of liver. Straight up bananas freak me out (ok IN things), but I still eat them to be a good role model for the kids.

Lady Florida. Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Liver, fat (I will trim meat away if I can't get all the fat off of it), chicken or turkey dark meat, beets, gooey eggs, molasses, mousse, lamb, ground poultry, most sausage (because of the fat) beef that's even the slightest bit pink. With all these, except for beets and molasses, it's the texture that makes me gag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Bananas. I can't stand the taste, smell, texture, anything. My husband declares it "pathological", lol. I'm a pretty adventurous eater, and while I have preferences, I'll eat just about anything... Except bananas. *shudder*... I don't even like touching them (with peels on, it's okay), though once in a while I will hold my breath and power through when I'm preparing something for others to eat. I absolutely can't eat them myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen in PA Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Most canned fruit. I can manage pineapple and mandarin oranges, but I think it's only because they aren't noticeably softer than they are usually. Things like canned peaches/pears/plums/fruit cocktail make me queasy -- and they were my mother's main way of adding fruit to our diet growing up.

BridgeTea Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Beets, eggplant and hominy because of the taste/smell. Tapioca, linguini and regular spaghetti because of the texture. I can eat angel hair pasta only. I get weirded out texture- and taste-wise with most corn dishes, also. I need it plain and visible. Hidden corn is unfair and scary. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerPoppy Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I eat almost everything, rather enthusiastically. :tongue_smilie: But liver (which I haven't had since childhood) smells and tastes like solidified vomit to me. That's pretty much it. I prefer my eggs cooked hard (the runny stuff is kind of ick) and I don't like caraway seeds on my rye bread. Yep, that's it.

Mothersweets Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Bananas. eta - I just finished reading the thread and saw that 3 other people don't like bananas, too! I had no idea bananas are so disliked. My youngest dd CANNOT eat bananas. It's one of the first foods I give to my babies when they start to eat regular food and she wasn't having any of it. I couldn't believe it - I mean, everyone likes bananas, right? Wrong! She's five now and still will not eat them. Oh well, I figure everyone has something that they "just say no" to. My "just say no" food is cauliflower. I've tried to like it but it's just smelly. and weird. Edited May 27, 2012 by Mothersweets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Not a fan of raw tomatoes. I can handle them in, say, salsa, where everything is supposed to be goopy. But alone or on a sandwich, that gelatinous middle bit is unnerving (as George Carlin said, "What's that jelly-lookin' stuff? It's...larval!"). I'll take all your unloved liver, though! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

********* Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I can't eat raw bananas. I've tried; I just can't. The texture. {shudder} I can eat dried banana chips, or bananas baked into muffins or bread (yum!). But not raw. I also cannot eat beans in general. White beans, kidney beans, black beans. None of them. The texture kills me. I can eat refried beans, but you better not sneak in one of those rogue whole beans. :glare: :D I *can* eat green beans, but they're a very different texture.

Alphabetika Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) The texture of bananas makes me squeamish. The taste is....okay. I don't hate it and I'll eat one if I have to.

I posted my answer before reading any of the rest of the thread, and now that I'm reading it I'm seeing that TONS of people hate bananas, just like me! *virtual high five* Interestingly, so many of the foods that get repeated listings are literally my favorite foods - beets, onions, tomatoes, and many more.

If I eat the above, I will gag. When I was little, my mom learned not to make me eat something I didn't like because I would throw up on the table.
