Just for fun - what food do you hate that it seems like everybody else loves?

[VaKim]

For me, it is barbecued anything. I hate barbecue sauce of any kind. 

For DH, it is pasta and rice. He hates any kind of either. 

[Elizabeth86]

I hate all seafood. I'm mildly allergic to shellfish, but when I'm eating fish I just think of fins and scales yuck. Eating fish just makes me feel gross. I'm super grossed out by looking at fish I dont know why.

 

Im also creeped out by mayonaise.

 

My dh eats everything except tomatoes. He has a physical reaction when he puts them in his mouth and he gags and cant help it.

[Word Nerd]

Celery

[Pawz4me]

Hot dogs and almost all types of desserts/sweets

[Laura Corin]

Bananas.  Peanut butter.  ETA egg salad

 

It's mostly a texture thing.

onions, avocados, olives, cilantro, quinoa, feta cheese, rice

Eggs.

Healthy but vile.

<insert whatever here> salad. Potato salad, egg salad, chicken salad, Waldorf salad. Even fruit salad. If it has the word "salad" in it, but it's not an actual salad, the sight of it is revolting. I have no idea how anyone chokes any of it down.

 

We made a "grilled potato salad" last week, and are making it again on the 4th, but I had to rename it in my head so I could eat it.

 

For me, it is barbecued anything.

*gasp* I'm offended!

 

Just kidding, my user name has nothing to do with actual food.

[Daria]

Pickles

Ketchup

Mustard

Mayonnaise

Anything with a banana that has been smooshed or blended or frozen or baked (but I love fresh banana)

 

 

[DesertBlossom]

Shredded coconut. But I think it's mostly a texture thing for me. The flavor is fine. And certain recipes are fine if I can't feel it in my mouth.

[Daria]

Celery

 

I am just mystified by celery.  It just doesn't seem like a food to me.  It seems like one is eating water and unflavored dentil floss, and some kind of plastic binder.  

[historically accurate]

Hummus. Tasteless tan gunk - for dipping! Um, no.

[Matryoshka]

Also eggs, though I can stand them if they're mixed with enough something else, especially if it includes a lot of cheese (omelette, quiche).  But hard/soft boiled, fried, poached.  Gag me.

 

Mayonnaise (unless used sparingly to hold, say, tuna salad together).  Although if I'm making it myself, I'll often use Greek yogurt instead.

 

Pickled cucumbers and peppers (I actually don't mind other pickled things so much).

 

Olives, any kind.

 

Egg salad, obviously, is an abomination on many fronts.

 

Oh, and salad dressing of pretty much any kind, unless it's the kind made with lots of ginger in an Asian restaurant.  Because ginger is the food of the gods.  Pickled ginger, for example, also heavenly.  Ginger makes everything good.

 

 

ETA: Not a big cantaloupe fan (other melons are nice).  And what is the deal with ribs.  Gnawing fatty meat off bones, no.    People keep reminding me of things. :)

 

 

Meanwhile, I eat tons of stuff other people probably wouldn't.  I've eaten jellyfish. It was good.

I don't like meat on the bone. Plus it looks like so much work for so little lol

Plain celery is mostly just a method of getting peanut butter in your mouth.

But in a world with things like Granny Smith apples, whole grain toast, and spoons, celery is surely redundant. 

[MaryMak07]

Hummus

Olives

Guacamole

[lauraw4321]

Mango.  ::shudder::

[Storygirl]

Salsa. Hot peppers. Black pepper.

 

Basically, anything spicy, though I do like onions (cooked) and love garlic.

 

I hate olives.

 

I hate coffee and don't like tea.

 

Bitter vegetables and greens.

 

I'm a super taster, I think.

Mayonnaise. *shudders*

I would add olives to my list too. Straight from hell.

[Cinder]

shrimp--mostly the texture; I can eat other seafood, just not shrimp

coconut--texture and flavor

tripe--texture!

Same here. I feel the same way about loaded potato skins. The skin is what I generally avoid with potatoes; why would I scoop out the edible part and cover it with gloppy stuff that is bad for you? People eat these two things at bars, but I'm just like, WHY???

[Guinevere]

Well, I can choke down anything to be polite, but I actually have a long list of things I don't like. 

 

Avocado

Beans, or anything made from beans

Coffee

Yellow squash and eggplant, though zucchini is fine

Anything even remotely spicy

Pesto, or any other puree sauce thing

Black and white pepper

Some kinds of fish

 

I could keep going.

 

[Matryoshka]

tripe--texture!

 

LOL, I'm pretty sure tripe is on my NO list, but I don't think it qualifies as something 'everybody else loves'.  I think we can be in agreement that it is YUK. :lol:   Unless there are a lot of closet tripe-lovers in America?  Organ meat in general is not tops on my list...  liver is good if you make it into liverwurst or paté, but alone, not a fan.  But at least here in America (I'm guessing France and some other countries might have a different opinion), I think I side with the majority that organs are not tasty treats. ;)  Ditto haggis and snails.

This made me laugh. I love hummus but my DH hates it. The name reminds him of pus.

[Selkie]

yogurt

 

mashed or baked potatoes, pasta, bread (I don't hate these, just dislike them - and don't get why so many people are gaga over them)

 

jelly/jam

 

almost all kinds of fruit except for blueberries, raspberries and blackberries

 

dark chocolate

 

 

[Matryoshka]

Yellow squash and eggplant, though zucchini is fine

 

 

Yellow squash, eggplant, *and* zucchini can all have texture problems for me.  So slimy if cooked a certain way.  I hated them all for years until I realized that the texture problem goes away if cooked other ways.  The squashes roasted, or stir-fried, I'm fine - need to be cut thick and still a bit crunchy.  Any of them in lasagna, or eggplant in moussaka or as eggplant parm (breaded/fried, smothered with cheese and tomato sauce).

 

Ratatouille is like all the things with the slimy texture mixed together in a pot.  Ewwww.

[kewb]

Melon, the taste of all of it is awful to me. I won't touch fruit salad with cantaloupe in it because it taints the whole thing and everything tastes like cantaloupe.

 

Eggplant - in any form.

:iagree: 100%, especially with the melon

 

Also, avocado and olives are pretty gross to me. I can only tolerate them in tiny amounts.

[KarenNC]

Coffee

cooked greens other than spinach

okra

black-eyed peas (and boiled peanuts, which taste the same to me)

brussell sprouts

oysters in any form

I really don't like pork.  I won't buy it raw, it stinks horribly and I can't touch it.  I don't even like bacon (don't shoot me.)  I will, on very rare occasion, eat BBQ or ribs, but it has to be pre-cooked and with lots of sauce, and I won't choose it on purpose.

My dad will only eat beef ribs. If I have a choice I ask for beef. I like some pork, but don't care for pork roast. Gotta be beef for me.

 

[Emba]

Eggs. Sometimes I can stand it if there is a breakfast burrito and the egg chunks aren't big, but generally: blech.

 

When I was a kid, not only would I noteat eggs, but also hated most sausage, bacon (what was I thinking) and pancakes and waffles. Needless to say, I was a joy to take out for breakfast at almost any restaurant. I ate a lot of those little boxes of overpriced cereal.

[mykidsrmyjoy]

Coffee (technically not a food, but I married into a family that thinks of it as one of the food groups)

Olives

Your husband is correct.

 

 

[Frances]

Tomato slices or wedges (I can handle chopped tomatoes in things like salsa, guacamole, etc)

 

Potato salad and egg salad (but I love tuna salad and chicken salad)

 

Baked beans

 

Deviled eggs

 

Steak

 

Barbecue sauce (but I love BBQ with rubs and where you can choose your own sauce instead of the disgusting to me tomato based ones)

 

Ketchup on a hot dog

 

Coffee and beer

[Guest]

Raw vegetables. Hate crunchy texture. No salads for me, although they look amazing. Can't handle the crunch. 

 

Then there is the bad smell group that is a deal breaker for any of it in my house: 

Fish of any type

Cauliflower

Cabbage

 

  :ack2:  :ack2:  :ack2:

 

I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it. 

 

ETA: agreeing with boiled eggs. They smell like sulphur. Who wants to eat that?!?

beef. I'm vegetarian, but beef holds absolutely no appeal. blech. 

 

Melons and tropical fruits taste weird. I want to cry when my vegetarian option at an event is chopped melons and grapes-which give me migraines. I'd rather eat a turkey sandwich.

Funny, I was just coming back to edit that out because after I posted I realized that one didn't qualify. :tongue_smilie:  I'm sure it was just my mom who's a tripe lover--tripe stew specifically. And for some reason she seemed to think everyone should love it as much she did. When I was a kid there were a couple restaurants that had tripe stew on their menu. :ack2:
