I'm pretty sure this has been done before, and that I've participated in it. However...as a counterpoint to "Odd Foods You Love", what do you never, ever want to eat again?
I hate squash (except spaghetti squash), peas (unless they are wasabi peas, or fresh and raw or very lightly cooked), pumpkin pie, brussels sprouts, and mealy apples. To me they're all variations of the same gag-inducing family of textures. I will not argue with you about the *flavor* of all of these being excellent. I will eat squash-based soup with no qualms, for instance. There's this dish my grandma makes where you roast brussels sprouts with...apple cider vinegar and bacon. *shudder* Do not want. Why would you do that to good bacon?
I cannot bear the taste or smell of whiskey. This is because of The First Time I Got Really Drunk. It's a fun story in person, but suffice it to say I drank about half of a bottle of Jack Daniels (unintentionally) and got left in the woods by my pot-smoking coworkers to be eaten by mosquitoes, then made like a ping-pong ball up a hallway, lost my bra, and threw up a lot. The hangover was incredible. I don't drink cherry pop or eat sunflower nuts in the shell any longer, either - those were the other two things I was consuming that night. Last time I stayed in a hostel there were free sunflower nuts in the shell, and I was like "Nope, I'm good".
I despise gin. Maybe I've never had *good* gin, I don't know, but I don't really want to go sampling gin to find out.
I hate frozen potatoes, like the kind that come in a TV dinner. Same nasty texture as the mealy apples.
I don't eat a whole lot of potatoes in general, but mostly because I had to live on them (and meat specials) for a winter once and was not excessively creative about it.
Grapefruit/grapefruit juice. UGH. When I was a kid, my parents were taking us home from some vacation and we stopped at a store I'd never been to before and my parents told me I could have any drink I wanted out of the cooler. I had never, ever been told this before and decided to try something exotic. I was *not* warned that I might not like grapefruit juice. I was simply given the grapefruit juice and told I had to drink the whole thing. The bitterness...it is so nasty. (I am not a supertaster - probably medium-taster)
I don't like plain corn muffins, though cornbread is fine. The muffins are too gritty.
As you can tell, I get a little obsessive over texture.
I hate anything fake grape or fake banana flavored. I bought those popsicles-in-a-bag this summer and there are about 6 banana ones left. They can sit there until we move out for all I care. Blech. I love actual grape juice. The only way I eat real bananas is if I make bread out of them, or eat them on a sandwich with peanut butter. Squishy icky texture, once again.
