Mines coffee. The whole coffee culture made me feel very bland for just wanting a cuppa when out with friends but in my 30's I finally realised it just wasn't for me.

I think a lot of green tea hate is from people who don’t know how to make it. In many countries, making green tea is an art form. None of this tea bag rubbish.

I've enjoyed reading this more than I expected. So true many of your comments. Blumming let down chocolate cake, shop bought pizza and seasonal coffees.

Yeah and cupcakes with senseless amounts of margarine topping.

Yeah seafood, i keep trying, but just no to muscles, oysters, crab

Kale. I am a health food nut but kale is a step too far for me.

SkyBloo · 25/04/2024 20:16

rocky road

I totally lovely tiffin and all things chocolate but its the marshmallows in rocky road - they change everything....

Wine. I have a childish palate, I like sweet things and wine just has a sour taste to me. Give me a pina colada any day.

Avocados. They taste of nothing and have a weird texture, oily but dry? Just no.

Lamb, I have ate my meals with lamb as the meat and have recently realised that I hate it in all forms.

Aroundthefur · 25/04/2024 20:14

This thread is making me hungry 😂

For me it’s fancy coffees. I love the look of aaaaaall of them but I can’t bear the milky, sweet lukewarmness of them 🤢 Strong, black, no sugar every time and I just wish I liked them all!

Verv · 25/04/2024 20:13

Wine, whiskey, couscous, orange squash, boiled potatoes.

Chocolate fudge cake

I'm a massive chocolate lover, but for some reason chocolate cake just doesn't hit the spot.

EerieSilence · 25/04/2024 19:58

StarbucksQueen1 · 25/04/2024 19:58

Salted caramel

I’m not surprised, you’re probably sick of it as for the last what 7 years, every restaurant/cafe even the supermarket is stuffed full of salted caramel this that and the other.

peacocksuite · 25/04/2024 19:55

Prosecco is so overrated, I only drink it to be polite now. Can't believe I had it at ny wedding (it was in Italy though).

Cured meat, smoked salmon, normal salmon, trout.

Cordials.

Any slow cooked meat or 'pulled' meat.

Burgers.

Risotto, polenta, gnocchi.

'weird' cheese with chilli or sweet bits in. I like artisan cheese but this is gimmicky

I feel a Nicky Haslam tea towel moment coming on.

Lurkingandlearning · 25/04/2024 19:54

@NeverEnoughPants I think the OP is referring to things that are generally popular a sort of FOMO thing

MuscariFan · 25/04/2024 19:48

Chocolate cake - more accurately, 95% of chocolate cake is dire and not worth eating, and I’ve given up expecting the lovely 5%.

ArcticBells · 25/04/2024 19:47

Olives. I've really tried.
