Mine would be anything Parmesean.
I absolutely don't like Veal Parmesean, Chicken Parmesean, Eggplant Parmesean, etc.

It's because the breading become soggy once they add the red sauce, and I don't like soggy breading

I do like Eggplant Parm (had it for lunch yesterday) - but I don't like Chicken Parm. Chicken does not go with Marinara sauce. Yuck.

Cheesecake.

The first time I tried it, I was maybe 10 or so. It's definitely an adult kind of taste. I'm sure I'd like it now if I tried it again, but I'm saving myself the fat & calories by telling myself it's yucky.

Anything spicy. I don't even like peppermint! I think that spicy or hot things must burn my mouth a lot worse than other people's.

Tunafish. I can't stand the smell, forget about anything else. Really, the smell makes me gag. To bad my roomie loves tuna.

It is all my great grandmother's fault also.

It's not really a food -- just a condiment -- but I absolutely HATE ketchup. I think it smells bad, and is just overall icky. I've been known to scrape it off burgers if someone dares to slop it on my food.

mayonaisse and salad dressings. I just don't like em and everybody thinks it's odd.

- Meat
- Seafood
- Pasta alfredo or asiago, since it is usually too salty for my tastes
- Ice cream. I do not dislike it, but I prefer yogurt and sherbet.
- Cola. And sodas in general- but especially colas like Coke and Pepsi.
- Beer
- Casseroles. Again- way too salty.
- Grits, oatmeal, cream of wheat, cottage cheese, and things with similar consistencies.

So, um, what DO you eat??

A couple of my coworkers have some major food issues.

One cannot be around corn of any kind.... because just the smell of it makes her physically ill.

Another "can't" eat vegetables or fruits of any kind.

My little brother won't eat Jell-O or anything that is not really solid like Whip Cream. We're not sure why, but when he was a baby, he was in the hospital a lot because of some health issues, so we think that's why he has refused to eat Jell-O since he was a young kid.

If you are eating, don't read this
When I was in the hospital having my tonsils and adnoids removed (I was around 4), I had ate some kind of red Jell-o after dinner. That evening I began to hemmorhage. I was sent down for emergency surgery.

It wasn't until I was old enough to understand what really happened and I almost had died from it. I refused to eat red Jell-O for many years because I thought I had become sick from it.

I'm very picky:

*Eggs. I don't like them in ANY form (fried, scrambled, whatever) They have an odd texture and they look and smell gross.

*Hot dogs.They're also gross and basically "mystery meat" to me.

*Sushi. I know it makes people feel more "cultured" to eat it, but I think it's awful.

*Fish of any kind. It's just nasty.

*Any Chinese food. I just don't like it. It's all disgusting.

*Anything spicy. Ew.

*Alfredo sauce anything. Doesn't have enough flavor to me.

*Fruit-flavored candies like Jolly Ranchers, Starbursts, etc. I'm just more of a chocolate person and I also just think the artificial taste is gross.

*Beer. Nasty. I don't get why people love it.

*Wine & Champagne. Yucky. I also don't see the allure of this. The only alcoholic beverages I drink are things like mixed drinks.

*Pancakes. I think they're very gross UNLESS covered in topings so I can't taste them.

*Anything like oatmeal, grits, or cream of wheat. I don't like the texture and they taste gross.

I refuse to eat PB & J, tuna, hot dogs (although I love the way they smell), seafood, anything pork, and ketchup. As a kid growing up, I also hated any lunch meat except for turkey. So for years, I brown-bagged a turkey sandwich on plain bread (no condiments) and a baggie of pretzels. I still do that as an adult.

Any sort of condiment or topping - mayo, mustard, sour cream, chives, salad dressing, miracle whip, pickles, tomatoes - anything that isn't the basic part of the meal. I eat pretty much everything plain.

I don't like donuts. I've tried many time, but I'm always disappointed.
