OH! KSU reminded me - the way she feels about Sleepless in Seattle is how i feel about Love Jones.

I dont hate the movie, it was just nothing to be in love with. I think its because i watched it years after it came out, so i knew all the "black romantic comedy" cliches and just sat there like "ok..."

At least you gave it a shot.

Didn't mean to insinuate that you (or anyone else in this thread) didn't try things before claiming not to like it. That was just a general comment/pet-peeve-statement type of thing.

As far as foods, I'm one of those people who love to try new foods and I'm all about ethnic restaurants. However, I had a boyfriend years ago from Australia who LOVED vegemite. So I'm all in - I love everything right? Man oh man, I can't even describe how foul vegemite is. It's made from yeast extract which in itself sounds disgusting, and I've since found out I'm allergic to yeast. So I guess there's no heartbreak that I won't be having vegemite ever again.

Thankfully I was raised by parents who said we didn't have to clean our plate, didn't have to like anything, but we did have to try and under no circumstance were we allowed to make faces or comments about anything anyone else was eating. It's the "ooooh, you're going to eat THAT?" that is just not cool.

I also don't get it about country music and techno. ESPECIALLY techno. I mean, maybe if you're in a bar because you can dance without thinking about the tempo of the music (since it's all the same) but why on earth would anyone actually BUY a techno CD? And seriously, why 2? They're all the same song!

I too don't find beer particularly appealing.

Stepping out a bit, there are certain articles of clothing that don't appeal to me...will get to that later.

[QUOTE=MidwayManiac;1848840]Guinness Stout. English room-temperature lagers. Even the darker Sam Adams. I like my beer cold and light-colored, despite how many times people tell me the aforementioned items have more "taste".[quote]Funny enough, Guiness Stout was the first beer I ever tasted. I was 16 at a pub in Edinburgh. When I got back to the states and tried my first American beer, it just seemed so weak and watery, lol.

Co-sign. Although to be honest, except for chowders, I don't like soup at all.

Same here.

Meanwhile, things everyone else but me likes:

Chocolate cake
Chocolate ice cream
Yogurt (seriously, I can't get it down)
Hummus
Guacamole (I love Mexican food, but I hate avacados)

Meanwhile, I really like haggis.

LOL. I could have added that I hate

Tomatoes (tomato sauce is fine, plain old tomatoes -- blech)
Peaches
Watermelon

These things really make my wife question my sanity.

^^ I'm with your wife on this one. You don't like chocolate cake/ice cream? Or peaches and watermelons? What do you have against sweet, yummy food?

jet Li movies??

Must be the Americanized stuff...LOL

My list:

Cake (I really only like German Chocolate cake)

new balance shoes (only found 1 comfortable pair in life)

mayonnaise

coffee (altho for some reason I like frozen ice cream flavored coffee)

I have a similar problem with texture. Anything goopy, lumpy, mushy, slimy or rubbery makes me gag. All these years I thought it was a taste issue but I also have issues touching certain things with my hands, like food garbage, wet cat food, touching newspaper or ripped cardboard, foods like bananas, mushrooms... I had never heard of texture aversion until a few years ago and feel like a freak for it, but I have read that there are many people who have this type of situation.

*Faints in shock*

I think soup is one of my favorite things! Actually, I could just drink the broth out of most soups and not even eat the noodles, meat, veggies included! It's like concentrated flavor in a bowl! What's not to like?
