Celery.


The tiniest slice ruins any meal. AIBU?
Do you have another suggestion?

Ohhh, I love celery. Sprinkled with salt. With cheese on. Or a bit stalk of it in a Bloody Mary!

Anchovies, however, are revolting!

Mushrooms - little slimy pieces of horribleness 🤢🤮. Can sense them in any type of food, no matter how they are chopped/cooked

Coriander leaf. AKA washing up liquid.

Chilli. Why is it in everything at the moment?!

Raw onion. People seem insistent on sneaking it in to as many foods as possible and I bloody hate it. The taste of it taints everything else too. :(

Amen to that. I’m vegetarian and get so sick of bloody mushrooms in everything. We’re expected to love them just because they’re vegetables 🙄 Does every meat eater love lamb or duck?

Decrepit geriatric fruity bastards.

Red peppers.

Contaminate everything they’ve been near.

I like cooked celery, but it’s foul raw.

I despise chestnuts. They taint everything at Christmas!

Another one for mushrooms.
They pollute any other food they're next to.

Red peppers. I pick them out with my fork and collect them together on the side of the plate.

Lettuce - it never added anything to any dish
Makes bread soggy on sandwiches and tastes like gone off water

Beetroot. I actually like it (when in the mood) but it contaminates everything it touches.

Same with truffle oil. Despise. In case anyone here doesn't know, the flavour is artificial.

Raw tomatoes. Make any salad inedible.

Garlic, the friend of bad cooks.

Raw tomato - ruins a salad, guac or sandwich instantly and is in EVERYTHING.

Another vote for raw onions. Recently I had lunch (buffet), there were raw onions or chopped raw leeks in almost all the salads and then a big tub of sliced, raw onion - presumably just in case you hadn't already had enough.

Raisins
They ruin cake, scones and salads
Yuck

Coriander for me.

I love mushrooms but was unknowingly once served Quorn chilli by someone who swore we wouldn’t tell the difference and that was so obviously fungi-y and I couldn’t bear it.
