Foods/Drinks You Can't Stand

[fireheart]

I cannot stand:

-Mushrooms.
-Frozen spinach (actual spinach is fine. This stems from an incident in my childhood where my mum made spinach pie using that and I threw up after eating it)
-Raw tomatoes (any tomato products ie paste, sauce etc. are fine)
-Oysters.
-Olives
-Certain cheeses.
-Certain fish.

For me it's more about the smell as well as the texture.

Stuff I hate:

beets
liver
blue cheese (gag)
saeurkraut (so nasty)
fake banana flavor
fake orange flavor
brussel sprouts
broccoli
Any kind of pork. I can tolerate bacon in small doses but that is IT. Pork is just nasty to me now.
overcooked beef ...I tend to like it rare to raw
raw celery (although I love it cooked in things)
squid (more of a texture thing it's rubbery)
cauliflower
grapefruit...too bitter
Whiskey or scotch or southern comfort or any of those amber type alcohols. I tend to like the clear ones like vodka and gin.
V8 (shudder) I don't like drinking vegetables sorry.

Stuff I won't even try:

organ meats of any sort
Things like pigs feet or chitlins or any of that shit.
haggis

Things I love:

Coffee I could drink it all day
energy drinks
Some teas
kombucha (I am brewing my own)
Sushi/sashimi

There are very few foods that I outright hate. I'm one of those 'I'll try anything once to see if I like it' types and it's pretty much always worked out well. I despise canned mushrooms, though. The taste, the texture, the...everything. @_@ They're just wrong.

I'm also not too fond of lima beans (texture) or walnuts (taste). Also, stuff that is too hot-spicy. I've been to some places where they pretty much have the mindset of 'Super extreme heat = flavor' and I 'bout died after one bite of their food.

My boyfriend is the same. I can't get him to eat Indomie Mi Goereng noodles because of the spiciness. Same with nachos: his idea of Nachos is 3 layers of corn chips with cheese in between. No salsa or anything.

Rob gave me strep throat and it came with plugged sinuses and now everything tastes funny so nothing tastes good to me right now with the exception of salsa and corn chips because it is such a strong flavor profile. *sigh* I really can not survive for a week on salsa and chips Corn chips pop my blood glucose to horrible heights. I am seriously bummed because he bought some absolutely perfect avocados and all I got when I had my half was tasteless green slime.

Oh gods. Haggis.

:barf:

Imagine the smell of shower mold. Now imagine it's a taste, with a texture almost, but not quite, entirely unlike that of couscous.

gee thanks if I didn't hate it before I sure do now

Olives - of any kind, ever, for any reason
Pork - except smoked (like ham) or very small bits cooked to death
Ice cream, yogurt, merangue, custard, pudding, creme brûlée, cream base soups, cotton candy and anything else you can't either drink or chew. Sauces are fine as you have to chew whatever they are on.
Indian food - I don't know what it is but there is one particular flavour that is in every Indian dish I have tried that I hate. It tastes extremely bitter almost exactly like aspartame. Horrible
Also aspartame

Olives. #1 on my list. Yuck! They are absolutely repulsive, and as far as I'm concerned, are the creation of the Devil.

Avocados or guacamole.

Grapefruit or grapefruit juice, though I love all other citrus.

While I love all seafood, sea urchin is vile to me. I am not a person that has a problem with texture, but when I don't like the flavor, texture can make it worse, and both the flavor and texture of sea urchin is vile to me.

Ketchup. Love tomatoes. Hate ketchup. Weird, I know.

Tomato juice, though I drink Bloody Marys. In my defense, I always order my Bloodys super spicy, so it's not like I'm tasting pure tomato juice.

Gin. Like drinking sand. Tonic is gross, too. Needless to say, I'm not a gin and tonic guy.

Red Bull, or energy drinks in general. I don't drink caffeine anyway, but the mere smell of this dreck revolts me. It is my least favorite thing to pour as a bartender, due to the smell...even worse than gun, and that's saying something!

Vodka....unless it's surrounded by a Bloody Mary.

Cauliflower, though I like broccoli. Go figure.

Most squash.

Pumpkin pie. Pecan pie. Yeah, not big on the traditional holiday pies.

Most nuts, other than pistachios, cashews, and peanuts, are not too appetizing to me. But I can deal with them. Unlike walnuts, which to me are just terrible. Like chewing on a coffee table. Though recently I had candied walnuts as part of a cheese plate and they were very, very tasty. Who knew?

Coffee. This has nothing to do with my not drinking caffeine....I've always found coffee to be gross. Tea, too. Like dirty water. For me, if it's brewed, it must be beer.

Chardonnay. I like most wine, both red and white, but I've never met a Chardonnay I liked.

Baloney. Loved it as a kid. Can't stand it as an adult. Ditto yellow American cheese.

Rye toast. I love rye bread. I like toast. Rye toast to me is like a hard plank of wood, and I just don't get it.

Peanut butter things. I like peanut butter. I like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. But just about anything else peanut butter, not so much. Like Reese's Pieces, peanut butter sauce for ice cream sundaes, and peanut butter cookies, among other things.

This seems like a long list, but honestly, I am a foodie and like most food. There are just some things I don't care for.

Avocados or guacamole.

I used to feel this way about both of those foods. Then in the last couple of years I ended up loving both of them. Very odd and I still don't get it.

[mathnerd]

The list of foods I do eat is probably shorter than the list of foods I can't stand....

[firecat88]

Oh, I forgot something else that I cannot stand- Champagne. I *hate* champagne. @_@

I love it! But it has to be brut (dry) rather than sweet.

I absolutely loathe;

Brussels sprouts. Like small green farts. Yuk and double yuk.
Any kind of offal (though make the liver into a pate, and then we'll talk)
Black pudding (blood sausage) Not even ever.
Oysters, mussels, whelks, cockles etc. Even when I tried a mussel cooked by a top chef, in white wine, I still thought 'bleeuch!')
Gin. Don't like that antiseptic 'tang' that it has.
Whisky (although a whisky liqueur such as Glayva is OK)
Cauliflower (see Brussels sprouts)
Anything like pork chops, where there's a load of fat clinging to the meat.
Blue or rare meat. I don't like mine overcooked, but if there's blood oozing from it, I don't want to know.
Squid / octopus / calamari.
Fish that's served with the head still on. I've looked at a lot of food in my time, but I draw the line at having it look back at me.
Swede. Once caused a minor riot when it was served up at school dinner (primary school) by referring to it as cattle fodder.

Amusingly, all of that is delicious to me.

Okay, this is a new one. What is Swede? The only thing I know of by that name is someone from the country Of Sweden.

Rutabagas or beets.

I don't like those either, but it's more of a "meh" than a "YUCK!" with me.
