Is there a food that you just can't stand?
« on: June 13, 2005, 01:47:40 PM »
I like a lot of food... probably a little too much! But there's one item in particular that I really can't get past and it's so annoying: raw onion. It's in so many things I do like: taco salad, tuna salad, salads in general, etc. I feel like just one squeaky, crunchy bite and it's overwhelming in my mouth and I have onion breath for the rest of the week! I'm much better with it cooked but even then, I like it finally chopped and well cooked.

Anyone else wanna share?  :)

lima beans

That's pretty much it.  Get me on the right day, and I'll try almost anything.  I used to hate spinach, liver and brussel sprouts, and I've learned to like (even love in some cases!) all three.

There are plenty of foods I don't really like, but these are the ones that I just can't seem to eat even when trying to be polite.  

Onions (raw or cooked)
Mayonaise
Mustard
Capers
Olives
Pate
Coffee
Raisins - I was having tea yesterday and the man at the table next to me was removing all the raisins from his scone and it made me so happy to see someone else performing a raisin-ectemy.

whipped cream
cheesecake
sushi
beer (I've tried and tried, but just don't like it)

Pate-ew

Um, let's see.  First of all anything that might appear on an Easter card that isn't a chicken or an egg-Lamb, Rabbit, and DUCK.  Ick.  And I'm not too big on sauce or suacey things.  Don't really like ketchup.  Don't like cake.  Don't like bread.  Don't like most meats.  I'm pretty picky.

I forgot salt!  I hate salt.  Never put it in anything, unless it's absolutely needed and even then I usually don't.

Okra - anything that makes its own slime I just can't eat
Organ meats
Raw oysters
Squid/Octopus - though I will eat calamari
Marmite

Otherwise, I will eat pretty much anything that isn't too exotic.  I've heard of some very ethnic dishes that really turn me off, and the idea of eating bugs of any sort is just vile.
