I hate you!

[WishfulSpirit]

Thought of a few other hated things:

Cold soup. Even if it's 105 degrees outside, soup is NOT supposed to be cold. YUCK.

Almost all alchol. Tastes like Satan's Pee. There are a few dessert wines I like though.

I'm not fond of most alcohol, either. I like Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum and Bailey's Irish Cream Liquor. Anything else has to be mixed with something else, like fruit juice. Of course, now that I'm on certain medications, I cannot have booze anymore, so

Well, this is still going so I'll say what I've said before. Runny egg yolks. Can't eat them, can hardly bear to watch someone eat them.

Can't quite get used to whiskey, except I kinda like rye, explain that if you can. Beer is not my thing, not at all. Mead is amazingly awesome, if anyone's had it. Absinthe, but of course I like it, I adore licorice. Yeah, I guess I like alcohol. I don't get drunk, since I don't enjoy feeling sick, just a couple drinks here and there.

I'm so over avocados it's not even funny. They're in damn near everything now, and I've gotten some very strange looks from friends about my constant complaints about "stealth avocado."

I can't stand the taste of tomato. Freshly grown or store bought doesn't matter. If it's raw tomato. it's not something I'm gonna touch.

Yet, cooked tomato isn't too bad. I dislike it if it's really overpowering, but most salsas, sauces and whatnot are fine.

Cilantro is another. Called coriander over here. I detest the stuff. No idea why, but I suspect it's because people use too much of it. I once had a Vietnamese spring roll that was meant to be Hoisin Beef, but was so over-full of cilantro - all I tasted was the damn herb!

And lastly, zucchini. Zucchini caused the biggest fight my Dad ever had with my Mum.

One of my aunts went through a mad zucchini growing phase and lucky us, we were the recipient of all her zucchinis after we visited for the week! We ended up eating zucchini everything. It was in bread, stews, baked, fried, souped...the trend continued when we got home because Mum wouldn't want to waste all that food, or offend her sister in law.
After about two weeks off arguing with my parents, crying about the zucchinis, throwing up when mum tried to force me to eat it and multiple standoffs at the dinner table, my father basically told my mother we were all goddamn sick of the vegetable, he'd been feeding his to the dog, or digging holes in the garden and burying it and that we needed to tell her sister in law to stop sending us the damn stuff.

Mum didn't talk to us for like a day after that, but I consider it a minor victory. And still, to this day, I will not eat zucchini.

For many people, cilantro tastes like soap. I know some people who can taste the tiniest bit of it, and can't stand it.

One year my grandpa planted two zucchini plants in his garden. He got two zucchini total. So the next year he planted about a dozen. We had those things coming out of our ears! Took me years to even be able to look at one again!

Last year my cousin's garden produced enough butternut squash to feed a third world country! I came home twice with a carful , and she brought me a 3rd large box once. Good thing I know a lot of people who LOVE it, so I just played Lady Bountiful and passed it out, and learned a whole lot of new recipes. For the record, butternut squash is amazing in chili!

[Dreamstalker]

I don't mind small amounts of cilantro, but it tastes/smells like soap to me (unintended upside: even if I can't see the PLU nobody needs to tell me what's in the bag) and if there's enough to the point where I can actually taste it that's ALL I can taste--yuck.

On tomatoes: It's my understanding that the chemical changes induced by cooking seem to affect tomatoes more than other foods -- to the extent that it's possible to be allergic to raw 'maters and not cooked ones, and vice-versa! Me -- I only eat them in processed form (ketchup, sauces, etc); I cannot stand them any other way.

Cold soup. Even if it's 105 degrees outside, soup is NOT supposed to be cold. YUCK.

It's vichyssoise, Sir...It's supposed to be cold.

Almost all alchol. Tastes like Satan's Pee. There are a few dessert wines I like though.

Same here -- tho I have yet to try any dessert wines. Friend of mine who grew up Michigan way says there's a place that makes an amazing cherry wine there that is nice and sweet -- they can only do it like two months out of the year, though, before they run out.

Alcohol in general -- along with most anything that includes tannins -- tastes absolutely vile to me.

[HotelMinion]

I don't like cold soup either. But I dont hate it. Too hot soup was worse. Soup must be warm.
I don't like beer yuck. Wines, ehhhh 2 fingers is enough for me.. I do like cocktails tho. Especially those made with rum. Mm mm. Cilantro and pesto okay in small amounts. Once I had a sandwich with too much blechhh!!

[April]

I dislike most wines, although I can handle some of the really cheap sweet ones, beer I cannot stand. If I have a swallow, it's all I can taste for the rest of the day. I dislike champagne as well. I don't drink any alcohol straight. I dislike the warm feeling in your throat and stomach. I do like most mixed drinks, as long as they aren't super strong

I'm just realizing how drastically my tastes have changed over the years. I remember hating cilantro, and now I love it. Same with mustard, cumin, and ginger root (I always liked candied ginger, or ginger cookies). I never liked cantaloupe or honey dew melons, but did like watermelon, and now it seems too similar to other melons. So that makes me sad. I don't really like some of the styles of Mexican food that are becoming more prevalent. Yes, I know they are supposed to be healthier, but I just don't get them taste-wise. I'm looking at you, Chipotle. I want refried beans, dammit. They don't have to be terrible for you.

I'm not sure if anyone has recommended this yes but I used to work at a pita place where we had to chop onions daily. Our trick to save our eyes? Dollar store swimming goggles. Since they seal to your face they prevents you from touching your eyes and the spray from getting in.

So I'm not the only one who hates red velvet cake! I wanted to like it, it's pretty, but it just doesn't taste right to me.

Pass it my way . . . I loves me some red velvet cake.

And now Hostess has come out with Red Velvet Cupcakes . . . yummy.

As far as what I don't like to eat . . . onions are okay with me. I used to have issues with crying but I just run them through a small electric chopper and it's not that bad on the eyes.

Those electric choppers save a lot of time. I also use it to chop peppers or mince anything really fine (like canned chunk tuna or chicken) when I'm making sandwiches.

Lasange and baked mac n cheese. Congealed grossness. Eww eww eww. Which is odd because I'll eat the shit out of stovetop mac n cheese (which i have made from scratch so it's not that I like the box stuff) and any other type of pasta-cheese combination.

RE: Tomatoes. I loathe raw tomatoes, but actually rather like tomatoes that have been processed in some way: soups (good with toasted cheese sandwiches), ketchup as long as it's on meat, pizza sauce, even straight up cooked tomato slices aren't too bad. I used to order all my burgers plain, but am now broadening my horizons... slowly, but still. Started forgetting to specify plain, then got too lazy to start again, and I now thoroughly enjoy the classic ketchup & mustard.
