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

[Kevin]

Hot Dogs or anything made from meat cuts I can't identify.

Yellow mustard

Other than that, I generally will try anything once -- except tongue. They serve tongue sandwich at a local restaurant. That seems to cross a line for me.

[Buttonz]

PB&J is another thing I won't touch. I think because I was never given it as a kid so the thought of the two of them together makes me shudder.

Beer...just can't stand the taste. And I've tried a number of different ones, including stuff like Blue Moon which most people seem to like.

[tnxbutterfly]

Beer- I just never seen what the big deal was

coffee-I got some from Starbucks one time because I had a free coupon. It was nasty! Tasted like burned dirt. Plus I'm more of a tea girl

gumbo- Having lived in New Orleans for like a billion years, I never liked the texture of it.

bananas- yuck

[nittanyalum]

Coconut. On anything. In anything. Blech.



ETA: Except I will drink a Pina Colada, which has coconut cream in it. It's not my first choice of drink, but I can deal with coconut in that form. Only.

[Scandia]

I love Pina Coladas. And carrot cake.

I like my pasta with marinara sauce.

I like mustard. I did not think I would like it- but I do.

I like cheesecake, but do not eat it often.

I dislike sushi and do not see what is so appealing about it.

And wine is much better than beer.

[AlethiaSi]

I HATE JELL-O.
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.

I don't like spicy things either. The feeling of my tongue and mouth burning is not appetizing to me. Plus I get heartburn from looking at anything acidic...

Coconut
Green pepper
Mushrooms
Coffee
Seafood
Nuts (except peanut butter)
Olives
Indian food - the smell is absolutely nauseating to me

[Xidelt]

Sushi or any type of shellfish
Beer/wine--i've tried to like them, multiple times. Honestly.
Olives
Boiled peanuts. That's just wrong.
Sweet tea, iced tea....just don't like it!
Tofu
Soy milk. Contrary to what many people say, soy can't do anything and everything!
Cabbage.
Nuts in cooking/desserts
Spicy foods
Celery

[Fleur de Lis]

Coffee - I keep trying to like it, but I just don't!
Oatmeal
A lot of cooked veggies, especially mushrooms. I'll eat fresh veggies all day long, but no thanks if it's mushy when cooked.
Canned green beans
Stuffing
Any dish that's served with chopped up meat - I'll eat a few bites and then pick out all the meat.

Until a few years ago, I really didn't like chocolate. This drove me crazy because I love the texture of brownies, but didn't like the taste. I'm over it now. :P

i had that problem but "needed" to have something help me stay awake in class after working the midnight shift so i started with cafe mocha's and started adding more espresso til i was okay to try heavily half and halfed coffee. now i drink coffee and love it.

it took some "training" but it worked.

ps. personally i'm not a fan of store bought or restaurant carrot cake. my grandma made a mean carrot cake from scratch and i just have never been able to find that in a store bought or restaurant carrot cake. i keep crossing my fingers but i'll usually just end up taking two bites and being disappointed...

[LeslieAGD]

I have a lot of food "issues" so there are many things I can't eat...

- Any kind of fish and most other seafood: the smell of tuna literally makes me gag

- Any food that is grilled except for corn heavily wrapped in tin foil: when I was a kid my family teased me that I just didn't like the lines, but I really hate the grill flavor

- Most nuts: except for certain types of peanut butter, or very thinly chopped walnuts or almond that are mixed into other things (ie - cookies, cereal)

- Vitamin D, Skim, or Fat Free Milk: I only like 2% Milk or half and half, everything else tastes watery or too thick

- Beer: I just don't get it...I imagine this is what urine would taste like

- Left overs and most food prepared in the microwave: reheated foods taste awful to me

- Bacon, Mustard, Relish, and Mayo: yuck!

[WarEagle07]

Chocolate......I've tried to like it but I just can't.

[SOPi_Jawbreaker]

What in the world is wrong with you people?

I love love love so many of the foods mentioned (sushi, seafood, cheesecake, spicy foods, beer, wine, champagne, pb&j, stuffing, tofu, soy milk, chocolate).

I don't like mayo, mustard (though I like honey mustard dipping sauce for chicken nuggets), pickles, eggplants, asparagus, mushrooms, anything seasoned with dill (both the smell and the taste make me feel queasy), scallions (though I like leeks and chives), tomatoes, and tart fruit-flavored candies.

- I do not like any milk that is not skim. I have switched to almond milk at home. I ask for my milk based drinks to be made with as lowfat milk as possible. Maybe this is part of the reason why I prefer lowfat/fat-free yogurt, sherbet, and sorbet over ice cream. I do love sour cream and cheese- although I prefer the reduced fat versions.

- I hate bacon with a passion. Well, I dislike pork. It gave me an adverse reaction back in the 6th grade. It royally irks me when they put bacon bits into soups and salads- especially when it is not advertised.
