bluemongoose Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I have a dear friend who cracks me up. She is from the Hills of TN and a wonderful Christian mother, but her boys use their allowance money for "beer and cigarettes!" There is a little country store that sells bottled root beer and candy cigarettes and her kids just love going there for their "beer and cigarettes." And no, neither parent actually drinks or smokes....it is just a family joke with them. Dawn :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 tofu bologna overly processed lunch meats (ham and turkey) corned beef hash Vienna sausages tapioca rice pudding macaroni salad if it has too much mayo American cheese unless it's on a burger I love black licorice flavor, but not the texture of traditional licorice (red or black). So I eat black licorice flavored jelly beans and gum drops, but not licorice sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Okra. I've never been able to figure out why anybody ever thought that stuff was edible in the first place. You might as well eat a live slug. Even the name of that nastiness sounds like someone gagging. My husband likes to say that any food can be improved with one or more of the following additions: hot sauce, cheese, chocolate, BBQ sauce. When someone challenged him to improve okra, he responded. "You are falsely presuming that okra is food. I challenge that assertion.":lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenangelcat Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 All the foods I refuse to eat are due to texture. eggs pasta that isn't heavily laden with meat sauce slimy deli lunch meat (like ham) cold shrimp most hot dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Oatmeal! I hate oatmeal. Pea soup I can't even smell without getting ill. Both of those things I was forced to eat a lot as a kid, and often would puke from them and be forced to eat more. Both taste disgusting, are slimy, and smell bad. Making oatcakes yesterday was out of sheer desperation. 2 of mykids love oatmeal, 1 tolerates it and 1 hates it as much as me. THe oatcakes make it more palatable for the 2 of us that hate it, but only just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2cntrykids Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Interesting... Fruits that have seeds Fat on meat (ewww) Broccoli Water cressents (sp?). I don't know why, but a friend had them in a wonderful chicken dish a few weeks ago and they made me gag. Macoroni Salads (any of them) Steak I know there's more, but I can't think of any.

stripe Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Rawish egg whites, like in undercooked scrambled eggs. Banana chips - gross taste, too. I like bananas in other forms. Mushy cooked frozen carrots or broccoli. Gristle on meat, or big chunks of meat I have to really chew. Ugh. I love milk/pudding skin.

TheApprentice Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 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. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflymommy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Pretty much every food? :sad: Thus is the life of a picky eater. No food really tastes good... just some taste less bad or not disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robyn Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 As soon as I saw the title, I knew my answer--liver. Coconut - combination of taste and texture. Tapioca--mostly for texture. mushrooms:ack2: besides liver? brussels sprouts. :iagree: to all of the above. And the pudding skin, and the beets, and asparagus. Actually, I can't believe I got through this entire thread. I don't feel so well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lailasmum Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Eggs. I will only eat egg white, the yolk is revolting. I also don't like egg white just on its own so it has to be covered in something. I don't mind egg in things like cakes. Avocados taste revolting/disgusting texture. Honey-I hate the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Baer Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Pudding or mousse. The texture makes me gag :tongue_smilie:. especially tapioca pudding. Something about those bits rolling around in my mouth makes me ill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devan Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I can't stand fennel either. Ick! I'm not really a picky eater, but there are few things I won't touch! Celery, raw oysters and liver are the ones that come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in SJ Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 DH will not eat hard-boiled eggs, so I never made them. One day during a playdate at a friends my 3yo dd bit into a hard-boiled egg & shrieked; "I bit the chicken!" Amber in SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani3boys Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Cheese! I hate the taste and texture of most cheese. I will eat it on pizza or lasagna if there isn't too much and it has been baked until crisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oasis Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Egg Nog (ewww - too thick! :ack2:) Runny Eggs Meat Fat and Gristle Raw Tomatoes Onions (Cooked or Raw) Melons Tapioca :ack2: Peppers Celery Overripe Bananas Dark Meat and/or Chicken/Turkey Skin Cream of Wheat Baby Octupus :ack2: Edited May 31, 2012 by oasis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikin' Mama Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Liver is the only thing I refuse to eat. I won't even allow it to be cooked in my house, which my son tried to do after deer hunting last year. Ick! Ick! Ick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Innocent Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Water chestnuts. Ugh. The texture sets my teeth on edge. Weird offal - liver and kidney are fine but I don't fancy tripe. Soggy meat fat and meat gristle. Not keen on grapefruit or over ripe bananas but I would eat them if I was given them. Never tried okra, grits, or black pudding.... This thread has made me feel hungry! Emma x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Lima beans! I can eat almost anything in the world but lima beans! As a kid I was forced to eat lima beans; as an adult I have decided to never ever eat them ever again! And I will not subject my kids to them!
