Mine are (in no particular order) olives, any kind of cheese , salad, any fish that didn't come from the chippy or in fishfingers, prawns, pulses of any description, pasta (never tried it until I was about 17 as my mum was a pretty unadventurous cook, although her hotpot was and still is divine . Sure I'll think of loads of other stuff. Must have lived on dinners with gravy, sandwiches and tomato soup!!

LOADS..not from a v adventurous family cuisine-wise
(dad pretty much eats because he has to to survive and I suspect has no palette at all...and mum never really ate much anyway, and HATED cooking) Over-cooked, sticky spaghetti, lamb chops and gravy and lots of boiled veg...

I now rate seafood and lasagne as my fav foods, used to cringe at the thought of a single prawn (to be fair, never really tried them!) and only lasagne experience was an amazingly over-cooked and sloppy on emy mum made when I was bout 8 with was not nice...

Oh and alcohol...

tomatoes, in fact pretty much anything that looked like a salad.

Also olives - I used to eat the stuffings out of the middle and throw away the olive...

I love and hate all the same things! Have always eaten pretty much everything apart from rice pudding, custard and heavy sponge puddings.
