Is There Any Food You Simply Refuse To Eat?

[Mr. Ected]

I have a friend who DESPISES ice cream, and I swear there must be something wrong with her.

[Ohio Joe]

1. Yes

Guacamole. It scares me.

[mcctatas]

2. I will not eat any kind of melon, ever!

I would rather eat tripe stuffed with minced pig penis than melon :puke:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. Really? That's good to know.

I was just going to have a tripe-stuffed-with-minced-pig-penis party and was wondering who to invite. Will it be just you, or will you be bringing a date?

[mcctatas]

17. alas, we are a small but refined group

recipe tip, ad sage to the minced penis

[PaddyBlueEyes]

109. reminds self that if he ever pisses her off

and there is sage laying around.....RUN!!!!!!

[grace0418]

20. I got really sick after eating some cantaloupe once (it wasn't the cantaloupe that got me sick).

For years I couldn't touch the stuff. I can eat it now and find it good on occasion but it's still not my favorite fruit. And I'm a fruit fanatic.

[mwooldri]

63. I'm not a fan of melon either. Watermelon - big fat nothing...

but somehow my son loves the stuff.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Mr. Ected...

Yup.

I will not eat liver.

Liver and onions, especially.

:hi:

[Scout]

4. liver, brussels sprouts, several types of beans, most green vegetables...

many kinds of fish and seafood, fruit that isn't a rasp/straw berry, an apple or a banana...

how much time do you have? :evilgrin:

[KamaAina]

5. Eggs. Mustard. Mayo.

Within my first hundred days, they will be reclassified as weapons of mass destruction. Which will mean that Iraq will at last have WMD. :P

[yellowdogintexas]

71. no deviled eggs for you then. Since all they are is eggs, mustard and mayo

or also egg salad.

[Liberal_in_LA]

83. Eggs????

[Jokerman]

6. Raisins

They have this unfortunate side effect of causing spontaneous projectile vomiting so I've learned to avoid them.

Don't know why this happens, it just does.

[MissMillie]

88. mussels do that to me

Oddly enough, I seem to be okay w/ clams and oysters.

I HATE raisins.

[johnnie]

7. I can't think of any

I like all food

[bigwillq]

8. I don't eat any kind of seafood.

:puke:

[grace0418]

16. I don't either but I would actually like to get over that. I've thought about getting

hypnosis. I really want to travel through Asia and I hate being the white girl who won't try things. Well, actually, I will try almost anything. But I haven't found much from the sea that I like. I real problem if you're visiting Japan, Thailand, etc.

[Blue_In_AK]

9. Oysters....

Big slimy snotballs.

[csziggy]

102. Yeah, oysters and okra

Snotballs with slime for a side dish.

[LanternWaste]

10. Sea-food.

Sea-food. Don't like it one bit-- fishy smell turns my stomach.

(except for tuna and catfish-- go figure... :shrug: )

[RebelOne]

11. Meat. Vegetarian here. n/t

[jobycom]

31. Same here. I wondered if that counts, sine I don't think of meat as food. nt

[dana_b]

130. me too but I hate tofu that is "jiggly". ick. n/t

[RT Atlanta]

12. Pickles

I cannot stand that vile "food"

[LynneSin]

15. I've returned meals because they put the damn pickle on the plate

and I always say "NO PICKLE"

the whole meal will taste like that vile object

[Scout]

21. i hate it when that happens! your bread or your bun gets all soggy

with fugging nasty pickle juice!

and the weird thing is, i'm told that when i was very little, i was more than one time caught sneaking the pickles and sucking the juice off them, then putting them back! i can't imagine myself doing that, but hey :shrug:

[LynneSin]

29. I use to eat my grandma's pickles

but something tripped in me that refused to eat those vile things

[RT Atlanta]

32. Agreed

even sitting next to a sandwich, the pickle will poison the good food.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

13. Anything with liver, tongues, stomachs, lungs, balls, snouts, blood...

mostly meat related. And yes, they do serve a lung soup here in Germany. :puke:

[Catshrink]

19. Bingo!

And add oysters to that. And hard boiled eggs. Double :puke:

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

24. I forgot the oysters.

No way, no how. That's like slurping down a salty slug. EWWWW. I've made myself sick now.

[hibbing]

57. yucko

Hi,
I'm with on those things also. Sour cream just does not work for me either.

Peace

[LeftishBrit]

125. Ditto!

In the UK, lungs are unlikely food; but kidneys all too likely, and come into the same category for me.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. It's not really food, but I refuse to chew gum.

Everything about gum just digusts me--how it looks, how it smells, how it sounds, its texture......ugh, I hate it. Weird OCD quirk I guess.

[SKKY]

22. Liver. I will violently projectile vomit if it passes my lips.

[Catshrink]

23. I do not like green eggs and ham

Check out this reading of "The Latter Day Saint, Seuss."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPy2alWEZ-U

[Rob H.]

25. No meat 'cause I'm vegetarian

and no lima beans or hominy because the texture of them makes me gag.

[TEXASYANKEE]

26. A few.

On principle: veal, lamb

Because I don't like the taste: cantalope, guacamole, mayo

[hobbit709]

27. Peanut butter, guacamole., raw oysters.

I've at least tried everything else

[Raffi Ella]

28. lima beans

most fish except for Lobster and shrimp...


I'm sure there are lots of things but that's all I can think of right now.

[Steely_Dan]

30. Okra (sp)

I don't understand how anyone can east Okra. It is slimy and it tastes horrible.

-P

[Tangerine LaBamba]

33. Anything that had a function

in an animal's body. No problem with the meaty cuts, though.

Head cheese. IT'S NOT CHEESE, PEOPLE!!!

Cottage cheese. Oh, man, don't get me started. When I found out it was Nixon's favorite lunch, I knew for sure that he was Satan.................

[JackDragna]

34. Veal.

The requirements for making it are cruel.

[mvd]

35. I won't eat sushi

:hi:

[Kerrytravelers]

79. EEEEKKKKK!!!!!! I couldn't live without sushi!

The only meat I eat is fish.

[Digit]

113. Me either

I know about the parasites....
ewwwwww

Even without that, the texture turns me off.

[rug]

36. Anything that lives below sea level.

[Roon]

37. I'll eat anything you set before me..except liver...

I had an asshole step-father who would serve liver when us kids were bad. The most horrible thing in the world was coming home from school and seeing the liver thawing in the sink.

[old mark]

38. Escargot. No, thanks.....

My BIL hates chocolate!!!!!!!!




mark

[Kerrytravelers]

81. Hate chocolate????? He isn't human.

:rofl:

[old mark]

85. He is from Texas.....nt

[LostInAnomie]

39. Olives and Pickles

Olives most of all though.

[crim son]

40. raw oysters.

I think that's about it.

[JTG of the PRB]

41. Bologna

I never used to avoid it. In fact, when I was younger, I loved it. Then, about a week after I graduated from high school, I made myself a bologna and cheese sandwich with some bologna that, evidently, was no longer ripe. The result: awful food poisoning for about four days.

I haven't touched the stuff since.

[lildreamer316]

42. Asparagus.

I think it smells like puke.

[AwakeAtLast]

43. Mushrooms and peas

:puke:

[Moondog]

44. Tripe.

I've spent a lot of time overseas in various places, so I've eaten a lot of strange stuff. Rice beetles, scorpions, snake, chicken feet, sea urchin and its roe. And on and on. Some stuff is better than others. I happen to think tofu is pretty vile, but I can gag it down. Tripe? No way. I realize a lot of Hispanics think that menudo is just great; I don't. The French also eat tripe; I love French cooking - haute cuisine, bourgeois, it's all great. But tripe just sucks. I won't eat it.

[hippywife]

45. Organ meats of any kind and

any kind of meat from a grocery store. :hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

46. Canned mushrooms.

I used to eat them all the time. Then one day I opened a can that didn't taste right. I figured it was a fluke at first, but the next time I bought a can they tasted just as bad.

Then I looked at the can, which said "Product of India", and thought WTF? I could probably grow my own that would taste better than this. Well, I haven't tried that yet, but I enjoy fresh mushrooms from the organic market a lot more than those nasty, rubbery things in a can. It's worth the extra money.

[mwooldri]

64. Fresh is always best...

Canned mushrooms in the restaurant business is a sign of an outfit trying to cut corners.

[Mr. Ected]

47. Reheated Pork; Over-Cooked Broccoli; Anything Related To Cockroaches

Including shrimp and lobster.

[Cass]

48. Mayo....won't touch the stuff.

Turns my stomach even to look at it. :puke:

[southerncrone]

77. Super Ditto!

[Duer 157099]

49. Even after reading all replies to this thread, my answer is still "no"

I was hoping to see a post where I'd go "oh yeah, ewwww, I wouldn't eat that. But it didn't happen. Sigh.

[Odin2005]

50. Organ meats except for beef liver, oysters, lutefisk, yams.

[MorningGlow]

51. Fish

I just don't like the taste. And when someone says "But this one doesn't taste like fish!" they're delusional. All fish tastes like fish. That includes sushi (if that really needs to be said).
:puke:

But I do like shellfish, including crawfish. Go figure.

I won't eat any organs--liver, stomach, etc.--haggis, scrapple--or brains.

I say no to okra (slimy) and Brussels sprouts (dusty).

And although I used to like it, I won't eat veal on principle.

Won't--and can't--eat soy; my thyroid doesn't like it.

I guess that leaves me a few things I can still eat! :D

[many a good man]

52. Liver, Brussel Sprouts, organ meats, cut bait

By bait I mean sushi.

Everything else is on the table!!!

[realisticphish]

53. Seafood

blech. Crab, lobster, tuna, salmon, calamari, whatever. All garbage.

[arcadian]

54. eggplant

:puke:

[Wapsie B]

74. Me too, especially fried in egg batter and cracker crumbs.

:puke:

[tigereye]

55. okra and eggplant

[leeroysphitz]

62. Okra is foul.

[tigereye]

90. I think I've never had it cooked properly - i just can't stand how slimy it is

[blueamy66]

56. menudo

YUCK

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

58. Raw onions. Blechh. Yuk.

Veal. Anything that qualifies as "guts" (liver, etc.). Miracle Whip.

[Deep13]

59. seal shit and blood.

An Eskimo survival "food."

[DeepBlueC]

60. kimchee

[mainegreen]

66. Hear hear.

kimchee is vile.

[Believing Is Art]

111. I have no idea what it tastes like but I can't get past the smell

A Korean family lives across the hall from my bf and sometimes I have to leave his place because of the smells seeping through his wall from their place. The smells, the crap they leave in the hall, and their kids screaming in his dog's face every time they see it . . . I'm hoping they decide to move to a bigger place :-(

[triguy46]

61. Mayo.

[Turbineguy]

65. Beets.

There are a few things I'm not fond of, but beets I do not eat.

[Robeson]

67. Meat. And this will totally make me a heretic: onions.

[AbbeyRoad]

68. Hamhocks

Just thinking about the gelatinous fat ring around them makes me gag a little.

[Gormy Cuss]

69. Gack. n/t

[csziggy]

103. Do you mean gagh

Those worms the Klingons like?


Or Racht - the rarer delicacy?
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/thumb/9/96/Racht,_Melora.jpg/180px-Racht,_Melora.jpg

[KitchenWitch]

70. Lutefisk, Tripe and Durian are my big three.

[Puglover]

86. Have you tried Durian?

I was going to buy one at my local Asian market but she said to try the candy first. NOONE in my office made it past 30 seconds without spitting it out. :)

And right with you with the Lutefisk and Tripe. :puke:

[KitchenWitch]

93. With the durian, I can't get past the smell enough to put it in my mouth.

[tabbycat31]

72. cucumbers

besides the texture issues i have with them, they make me gag (even the smell)

ETA eggs-- I will still eat them in cooking, but I had them for dinner every night for a period of about 2 years growing up. My mom wonders why I don't want them now.

[yellowdogintexas]

73. mountain oysters, all organ meat except calve's liver, crabmeat, octopus

squid, beets

sweet potatoes

I like the flavor of oysters but not the texture so I don't eat them either

lamb/mutton/goat

[Iggo]

75. Potato salad.

Cold potatos smothered in cold mayonnaise? Really? No thanks.

[southerncrone]

76. Mayonaisse

Yuck!
Not a fan of rutabagas, either.

[Inchworm]

78. Nope

I've been hungry.

:*

[SeattleGirl]

80. Tofu

A lot of people I know eat it, but even looking at it is distasteful to me.

[noamnety]

82. cilantro

soapy nasty tasting ick

[quakerboy]

84. cooked pineapple

Its the devil.

[MissMillie]

87. raisins

I just hate the feel of them in my mouth.

The funny thing is, I have no problems w/ prunes. The difference could be that I don't usually put a whole prune in my mouth, and of course, it's silly to take a bite out of a raisin.

The taste is different too, obviously.

[cwydro]

89. Veal.

[Joey Liberal]

91. Kimche nt

[blogslut]

92. Brains, tongue and intestines

Chicken on the bone tends to gross me out unless it's fried to a crackle like mom used to make it.

Tomatoes on sandwiches will piss me off to no end.

[blue_onyx]

94. Barbecue Sauce

[WinkyDink]

95. Beef, lima beans, tripe (I like other offal), anything mocha, sushi.

[BreweryYardRat]

96. Asparagus.

Blech.

(There are some things I refuse to eat as a matter of principle, but asparagus is just disgusting.)

[Withywindle]

97. Licorice, fennel, anise

:puke:


I'm not a picky eater at all - there isn't much in this thread that bothers me in the least. But the tiniest hint of any of the above flavors can put me off eating ANYTHING for days.

[timtom]

98. squash, string beans, lima beans

[pink-o]

99. okay, vegetarian, so I won't say meat, pork, poultry or fish

..since that's not part of my diet. For the stuff I can eat but simply won't, mayonnaise has to be number 1. Really slimy and disgusting stuff! As for non-processed botanical food, I don't like kumquats, marmalade, many varieties of squash (although cukes and eggplant--yummy. Those who named that as gross don't know what they're missing!) or sour cream.

Those people who don't like: Pickles, ice cream, chocolate, guacamole or asparagus are just sad! Tell you what: I'm happy to eat your share in the world!

[crispini]

100. Mexican food, outside of Texas (or Mexico)

because, really, what would the point be?

[mysuzuki2]

101. any creature that lacks a backbone

I refuse to eat anything which is not a member of the phylum Chordata, preferably the subphylum Vertebrata.

[Bucky]

104. mustard greens

Why is that even considered food?

[grasswire]

105. fish sauce ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I've seen how it's made on the Travel Channel. No thanks. No thanks. No oyster sauce, no fish sauce. No, a thousand times.

[handmade34]

106. meat and

commercial white bread
orange juice- except fresh squeezed
over easy eggs- went to a great diner this morning in San Diego and ordered Huevos Rancheros, forgot the eggs would be over easy- it was so good, but had to eat around the runny egg yolk
I try to never eat food processed and packaged by corporate food manfacturer
goat or sheep cheese
processed white sugar

--I am a food snob, my partner tells me all the time

[Quantess]

115. commercial white bread

As a kid in the 1970s, I had to eat cheddar cheese on wheat bread, when ALL the other kids ate bologna on WONDER BREAD. Life was so unfair!

This was about the time that I snagged cold hot dogs straight out of the package and scarfed them down, thinking they tasted good. I was 6 years old.

[unpossibles]

124. I hear you on meat and commercial white bread

As a former artisan baker, I can't stand Wonder "bread" and its ilk. I suppose I'd eat it if I had to, but I don't consider it food really.

I also can't stand most fast food. Subway is edible if I am on a road trip or something, and the occasional french fry, but... yuk. And every time I even consider it, when I do try to eat it I remember why I can't stand it.

[Skittles]

107. spaghetti

fucking gross

[crimsonblue]

108. baby...

i tried it once, but found it lacking.

[Believing Is Art]

110. Aside from meat,

I cannot stand canned peas or ranch dressing. Involuntary gag reaction to both. I also can't eat anything that has been in the vicinity of an open can of tuna. The smell makes me turn funny colors.

[madeline_con]

112. Reptiles & amphibians. No frog legs, turtle, gator tail or snake.

:puke:

[Quantess]

114. Your friend lied to you about why she won't eat ice cream.

The truth: It's because she gets horrible gas.

Just a guess, because I have a friend who won't eat ice cream for that reason. Gastric Upset.

[Digit]

116. I am a picky eater and my list is long...

Certain textures turn my stomach such as oysters, sushi, clams, beans, mushrooms and anything squishy.
I won't eat ice cream or candy if it has nuts in it. I don't like the two textures together...weird, I know. I love nuts alone, but only walnuts, pecans or peanuts. I won't eat pistachios or cashews.

I can't eat salads as it tastes like lawn to me. I will eat some cooked veggies and broccoli is my favorite with asparagus being a close second. I will not eat any canned veggies as I can taste the metal.

The only fish I will eat is perch and I have to force it, although I love lobster, shrimp and blue crabs. I was over 35 when I tried blue crabs with Phillips Seasoning and LOVED IT!

No mayo, no mustard, but ketchup is okay.
No Mexican food, no Thai food, and actually no foods from other countries except for Italian.
I will eat sweet and sour Chinese food and love the sauce and also Duck Sauce on the ribs.

It is embarrassing to be this way, but I have met far worse picky eaters in my life.
The horror shows of horror shows was the one where people had to eat insects and other gross stuff. I was retching watching the tv and had to turn the channel.
If you really wanted me to list the things I would not eat, I would be on here until noon.

Needless to say, I rarely accept dinner invitations.

[Quantess]

119. Are you slim?

[Heidi]

117. Milk.

I drink about one tablespoon of milk in my morning coffee, but if I think about it being milk, what it is, what's in it and where it comes from, my gag reflesh is instantly triggered.

[Quantess]

120. Have you tried soy milk?

I actually think it tastes better than cow's milk, especially Vanilla flavor soy milk, with cereal.

[Heidi]

121. Hi, Quantess. Yeah, I've used it when I was

in one of those "I'm gonna gag if I put real milk in my coffee" moods, but there's something about the texture of soy milk that I don't like -- chalky or something. But there also something I don't like about the texture of real milk. Of all milk, I like Carnation powdered milk best (I know, I know: YUCK) but I've never seen it sold here. :shrug:

Good morning! :hi:

[BulletproofLandshark]

118. Onions

I simply won't eat any food that has them in it.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

122. pickles, olives, mayonnaise, sauerkraut, liver, tripe, most caseroles...

Probably some other things I am not thinking about right now.

[ccharles000]

123. mayo

[ncrainbowgrrl]

126. Onions and Splenda.

I'll wind up in the ER with a SEVERE migraine, despite all my meds to break the migraine up....

128. Popcorn, Peanut Butter and Liver

I can't stand it when people make popcorn at work. To me it smells like stinky feet. :puke:

I can tolerate peanuts...but peanut butter. :puke:

Liver...well never tried and and have no urge to...just the site and smell of it... :puke:

[applegrove]

129. I don't eat veal but then I do eat lamb.

Any seafood with tentacles
