What foods do you really hate?

[Peelee]

Yeah, darn voicebox turning our throats into a death trap. Actually the whole airhole in the mouth seems like a bad plan overall, why not just make bigger noses and seal that entrance?

I, for one, appreciate that mildly cold weather or spicy food don't result in me dying of asphyxiation.

Also being able to pull enough air to actually do physically demanding activities. Absent that we would have all been sabertooth chow a long time ago.

Which would be very effective protection against fishbones. 100% of people devoured alive by predators have not died from choking on bones, so soak yourself in BBQ sauce and get preyed on today! It's the only way to safe.

[Bartmanhomer]

I don't like Carmel. That's my least favorite food.

[clingydreamers]

green beans. I know my girlfriend's going to secretly add them to the shopping cart. >_<

Why not expand that logic to everything? No more problems with no more existence am I right?

Rand Al'Thor has entered the chat.

[understatement]

I hate all the food which is spicy as hell... there are a lot of such positions in Mexican cuisine.

You haven't tried Sichuan food yet? I can faithfully testify that it actually burns the tongue.

[Spike_99]

I truly hate 4 things:

• cilantro
• walnuts
• dried coconut which people foolishly add to chocolate, cakes, cookies, etc. : I actually kinda like fresh coconut
• anise or anything that tastes like it: ouzo, black licorice, anisette, fennel....

[Hagashager]

Soups, chowders and stews. To a lesser extent foods that are absolutely drenched in sauce.

As a child all I could eat were cans of Campbell's. It got so tiresome that I now have a knee-jerk gag towards soups. When I was slightly older and able to eat solids my family were the type to have absolutely everything back stroking in some paste or sauce.

We did not have Spaghetti and Meatballs, we had tomato sauce with a bit of pasta and some meat. We did not have BBQ ribs with a rub, we had a rub with a rib floating at the top.

And it was still not enough sauce.

When I was in High School my aunt finally told my father he was not invited to the cousin's thanksgiving potluck if he complained even once to my aunt that there was not enough sauce.

My father managed to get us kicked out of my aunt's wedding reception the following year after he grumbled about how the wedding's catering service didn't put enough sauces in the pasta dishes.

The end result for me is that I gag when something's drenched in fluids.

First several years of my life were like this. Bean soup for breakfast and lunch, and mac and cheese for dinner. Occasionally with a little tuna fish (still love tuna mac). But canned bean soup is a definite no-no for me.

Things got a little better when we moved to Texas in 74, and much better in 1980.

Reheated Pizza with mushrooms and anchovies

[ForzaFiori]

My absolute most hated food is mushrooms. I hate the taste, the texture, and the entire idea of eating something that grows in rotting things and excrement.

To a lesser extent, I have a distate for fish (though not other seafood - I love to eat crustaceans, and when I tried alligator it was amazing), cottage cheese, pickles (weirdly, only pickled cucumbers - I love other picked things), and basil (well, I don't mind it when it is used lightly, but almost every time I've seen it used, it just overpowers the dish).

I hate to break it to you, but this describes most vegetables and fruits.

As a Japanese, I don't know why I hate natto

There are usually more steps between the rotting material and my food for non-fungi food material. There is a difference between saprophytes (fungi growing directly in decaying matter, as opposed to those fungi that grow in a symbiotic relationship with a plant) and the fact that you fertilize a field with manure, where it mixes with a variety of other things and is simply improving the soil which the plant grows in - at least in my mind.

In other words, I've never seen a tomato grow directly out of a cow patty or rotting log. Even if it did, the part you eat is not the part that is actually IN the manure. I can't say the same thing for mushrooms. and I know that those ones may not be the ones we eat, but its the ones I was exposed to as a child, so its what my mind brings up when it hears "mushroom."

[Soliloquyz]

Any food that has pickles, is what I don't like the most. I just can't stand pickles.

[ehsanmaster]

Any food that has Celery!! I really hate it but as I know it good for fitness

My ex used to call pickles "cucumbers soaked in evil." While I actually like pickles, I always thought that was funny. Whereas I'm not a fan of plain cucumbers (not strong enough to hate them, but I generally prefer to eat something else), so I guess they aren't evil enough for me.

I agree with her, with the exception of dill pickles. Those I can tolerate. But sweet pickles or anything like that are just awful.

She meant it for dill pickles too.

I agree sweet pickles are nasty, but dill pickles are awesome.

[goodalignment]

I really dont like the exotic Chinese/Asian foods !

[Shirow]

Natto is OK, spicy food is tolerable as long as it is not sichuan or the extra spicy korean/thai ones.

But my real bane is ... PAPAYAAAAAAA

[wheelmaker]

Any brains or testies are a no go.
I don't care if it is a delicacy somewhere. I aint eatin it!

I've had the Rocky Mountain oysters. They were fried, and were actually pretty good.

[denthor]

Shrimp crab and lobster.

I can not stand spicy hot Tabasco sauce tapatio

[NovenFromTheSun]

Tomatoes, I feel like gaging whenever they're in my mouth, even if I don't really taste them.

[Vizzerdrix]

Lettuce. I hate it for being blander than water.

[Yora]

Sweet potatoes. Neither sweet, not potatoes. All awful.

[warty goblin]

This I will second. Sweet potato fries in particular are just the worst. French fries are amazing, and then I get these sad, gummy, cloying things, congealing into putty on my plate. Blegh.

[sktarq]

Meh I agree about sweet potato fries but a baked or mashed sweet potato is a horse of a different colour. I still prefer a Yukon (or even russet) but it is far less objectionable cooked that way and could even recommend to some people. In a similar way i can not recommend deep fried preparations of blue/purple potatoes, I find they have a similar way of becoming oily/cloying that I find off-putting.



And must say:

Pumpkin spice/Xmas Spice mixes. Good grief the smell alone is painful. why? people why?
