What Food Do you Dislike that Everyone Else Loves, and Why

[aephi alum]

Nuts: I just don't like 'em.

Oatmeal, porridge, cream of wheat, etc: Makes me want to gag.

Rice cakes: Also makes me want to gag. I love rice (it was my downfall back when I did the Atkins diet), but in cake form - forget it. I even get nauseous if someone nearby is eating a rice cake.

Olives: Can't stand 'em. I have sent martinis back when the bartender accidentally uses an olive instead of a twist. (And no, giving me a twist and a spoon to fish out the olive is not acceptable.)

Pickles: Why would anyone want to take a perfectly good cucumber and ruin it?!

Milk: Plain ol' white milk just tastes nasty to me. I take calcium supplements so my bones won't disintegrate in 40 years or so.

And there are a bunch of veggies I can't stand, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates brussels sprouts and green beans

Amen to both!

I hate mayonaise and ranch dressing and veggie burgers. The veggie burgers that I had tried are awful.

Chocolate! I have never liked chocolate and whenever I tell someone that they say "Are you human?" or something along those lines lol

The mere sight of it makes me gag. I have to go in the other room or away from anyone that is eating it or if it's out.

im big on texture. i need to be able to chew it to an extent.

whip cream, jello, pudding (esp tapioca... bad childhood trauma, i was told it was maggots in sauce). i dont even like too much frosting.

::wiping some frosting off of this cake im eating right now::

I don't eat chicken.

I was attacked by one when I was six and my grandfather grabbed it, cut off its head and they served it for dinner that night.

I kow of at least two other people who had the same or very similar experiences, and they don't eat chicken either.

Honest.

My daddy was one. He grew up on a small farm/florist shop, and loved chicken until he was taught how to kill it. It was easier for him not to eat it than to hear him tell the story while the rest of us were.

Oh, and ditto to whomever hates honey-mustard sauce. I absolutely loathe it, and it seems to be in too many recipes lately!

My grandparents had a hen house in their back yard--yep smack dab in the city of St. Louis. We always ate fresh fried chicken cooked in Lard. I have never had chicken that tasted that good since, but I always went to the front of the house to avoid seeing the neck wringing and gutting.

That reminds of my first trip to the south and my aunts on the family farm wanted to cook for us, little did I realize that our food was what was running around outside. Yes it doesn't get any more fresh than that. It was a life altering experience. LOL

WOW ... exactly the same thing happened to my Dad when he was a kid ... and he NEVER ate anything fowl ... so we had both turkey and ham for Thanksgiving and Christmas when I was growing up ...

My entire family and my boyfriend's family all love green beans. I have NEVER liked them, and I probably never will. I used to plug my nose just to get them down as a child and I thank God as an adult I don't have to eat anything I don't want to. I've also never really liked steak. I can eat it without gagging though, at least.

[SWTXBelle]

I don't like the texture of bannanas and peach skin.

[SthrnZeta]

I used to hate skim milk but now I can't drink whole at all and I can just barely tolerate 2% - it's just too thick!! And yes, I live in GA and I do not drink sweet tea or eat grits. Yuck!
