What food item do you just dislike? - Page 3

[Alyantavid]

Mushrooms, any kind of bean that isn't a green bean and seafood. I eat fish ok, but seafood really grosses me out. Oh and corn, but only if it's mixed with something. Like in a casserole, if it's got corn in it, I pick the corn out. I like corn on it's own.

That's about all I refuse to eat, but I do hear how picky of an eater I am because of those things.

ETA: I forgot mustard and pickles. The only thing I'll eat pickled is asparagus and only in small quantities.

[Tigeresse]

Raisins. Don't know why 'cause I like grapes.
Yellow mustard. Absolutely gross.
Jelly/jam. Too slimy.
Fruit pie/pastry fillings. See above.

[caiesmommy]

I don't think I'm a picky eater at all but there are a few things

-meat-I truly do not like the taste of meat, never have and Im a vegetarian b/c of it
-eggs-happened when I was preggers w dd...seriously loved eggs now cant STAND them
-fennel
-bananas yuck!

dh and dc hate asparagus I LOVE LOVE LOVE it

[AFWife]

Sushi: It looks fine but the texture really grosses me out.

Peas: They look solid but they mush...

Raw Apple: Another texture issue. I can't really describe it. I've had all sorts of apples and each kind is icky.

Raisins: I just find them gross.

Do you not like other kinds of rice? Or is it just sushi? I grew up on sticky rice, so sushi just tastes and feels like normal rice to me. Fluffy rice is weird to me, but I can eat it.

The rice part is fine...it's the raw fish part that I can't do.

rice, turnips, black eyed peas, dark meat (poultry) stuffing, feta cheese

green olives. ewww. i think it is the texture. black olives are ok on pizza though.

bananas- they make my insides hurt.

veal and lamb- morally opposed.....

pigs feet. my grandpa used to eat them in front of me all the time. they look so nasty.

sardines or canned fish. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

i love vegetables though and would eat them all the time. i have been trying to get my family to eat them but they always end up as leftovers and going to waste. i keep trying though. lol. got DH to try leeks.

DH hates vegetables. but he makes himself eat them so the kids will try them. he hates the texture. esp onions. he will only eat canned green beans or corn on the cob if it was up to him. or salads that is more cheese and ham than lettuce and tomatoes. so i hide spinach in it. lol.

[MammaG]

Cooked spinach. It makes me so sad because I know that's it's so good for you, so I keep trying, but it makes me gag. I can mamage it in things like appetizers and I LOVE raw spinach, though.

Other than that, I have some things that I'm not crazy about, but I'll eat pretty much anything that's set in front of me. I love to try new tastes and textures.

2xy, thanks for explaining the beets aversion....I never could understand that one...beets are so sweet and yummy, but they do taste a bit like dirt and I can see that being a negative (I like that about them; they taste earthy in my definition!).

[Drummer's Wife]

Milk

PBJ's

BBQ, soy sauce, and teriyaki.

Shrimp

yuck.

[artemis33]

Beets - I hate beets! It is funny, people always say 'but they are so sweet!' - yeah, but they taste like sweet beets! YUCK! I have even grown them in my garden in an effort to like them because I find them lovely in color, but nope - still hate them! lol


Buckeye bebe - some sushi places here serve 'Seattle rolls' that are raw salmon and avocado - yummy! (I don't like the version with smoked salmon and cream cheese though....great combo for a bagel, but not so much with nori and rice )

I'm sure it's not any different than home canning domestic rabbit, or chicken, or quail, or goat, or lamb....As a matter of fact, a family friend went on a fishing trip recently and caught ALOT of ahi tuna (yellowfin), and was asking about borrowing my pressure canner for some of it until he decided to pay my dh in tuna for an electrical job he did for him.

That said, I recently learned to like beets. A friend grew some (her first garden) and then pickled them at my house (her first pickles!). I tasted one of the cooked ones, and couldn't believe it was so good. Yes, earthy is a great way to describe it. Same as swiss chard, imo. Then I tasted a pickled one and took her up on that jar of them, lol. They were so great! And I really never liked beets at all before!

I'm not crazy about olives. I need to try some fancier ones again, though. I can tolerate them, but almost never choose to eat them.

[Hey Mama!]

Onions. People try to hide them and trick me but one tiny onion sliver will ruin a whole dish for me.

When people ask if I'm picky, I always say, "yes", because it bothers me so.very.much that I can't seem to overcome my dislike for fennel. As well as preferring my meat to be medium rare, my chicken not overcooked, and my fried eggs with runny yolks.

Of course, I can eat those things, I just prefer not to. But, though in some ways I've embraced it as "who I am", I really do think of myself as crazy picky because of it.

That's me, too! I feel guilty that my children have never had the opportunity to taste a green pepper. Even the smell skeeves me out!

[Sarah W]

Fish-all of it unless it's fried and covered in tartar sauce and I think by that point we're out of the realm of healthy.

I'm not a fan of dark meat, but I will eat it.

I don't like cooked spinach, but I love it raw.

I love green peppers. We eat them raw.

[Alyantavid]

I thought of another one, cottage cheese. Bleck.

I can't believe all the green pepper and bbq sauce haters! I'd put bbq sauce on everything if I possibly could.

It's another texture issue for me! Anything that FEELS rotten grosses me out

[celestialdreamer]

I'm not a picky eater and most of the stuff mentioned is totally YUM to me

With that said, I am disgusted by okra. I even tried it tempura style once and it was really gross. I don't like things that are vinegary+spicy, like hot pickled peppers, tabasco, etc. I also don't like olives, except MAYBE on a supreme pizza. Only maybe lol.

When I was growing up I HATED rice. I thought it looked like something rather gross.
