What food/drink did you finally admit to yourself you don't like?

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.

Takeaway..eat it and feel sick every time .no matter what type but Chinese is the worst .I never really enjoy it .I prefer my own cooking or a piece of cheese and some bread and a glass of wine,

Do you think it’s the travel time and it going cold? I’m not a fan of Chinese food, but I don’t really think I’ve had that much of it. I absolutely love sushi takeaway though! We are very lucky and have some excellent restaurants near us that deliver, so things like sushi and Middle Eastern restaurants with coal grilled meats and all the amazing dips are great for a midweek meal when we are short on time. I love cooking, but never fancy making sushi or firing up the bbq at 9pm on a weekday!!

Fruit teas. They look pretty, smell lovely but taste like astringent, watered down dust.

Chocolate. Doesn't matter how expensive or whether it's made an extra revolting texture due to palm oil, I just don't like it.

White chocolate. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Mango - it tastes soapy to me. Lychees do as well.

Persimmon.

Biscuits and cakes. Coeliac means they're not part of my diet anymore, but I don't miss them at all.

Icing. Revolting stuff - royal, buttercream, glace, all horrible - just don't like it at all; just as well it's only ever found on cakes and biscuits, really.

Tomatoes. I've eaten them thousands of times, thinking I'd like them eventually but I just don't.

Bitter. I used to drink it, and vaguely know which pubs had the better ones - then I more or less stopped going to pubs . The next time I tried bitter - ugh.

olives

I’ve tried but just not a fan! Especially black olives.

Notreat · 25/04/2024 19:37

alcohol, goats cheese,

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 25/04/2024 19:35

Chips. Kind of potatoes in general, but they are the worst.

JanglingJack · 25/04/2024 19:30

Green tea - absolutely! However... Bear with me

Green tea with peppermint (all in the same teabag) with a teaspoon of honey - I'd have 2 cups! 😂. Trust me, try it.

NahNeedsGarlic · 25/04/2024 19:27

Cheesecake. Takes like sour milk with a spoonful of sugar added. 🤢
On top of soggy pressed biscuit.

If I don't like something I wouldn't eat/drink it again. I know straight away, I don't have to finally admit it to myself.

Tastes change though, or someone might have cooked something particularly badly.

I couldn't eat olives until I was in my 30s. I love them now.

I tried mussels in a harbour restaurant in France - still don't like them, so I think that's a given!

StStephensTower · 25/04/2024 19:23

Carrots
any sort of fruit tea

Tuna steaks - NO!

Love a bit of canned tuna though. I'm proably just common.

Yeah me too 😀

LindorDoubleChoc · 25/04/2024 19:23

Plain yogurt. I need a bit of fruit, sugar or honey in it. Such a pleb!

peakygold · 25/04/2024 19:22

Warm bread. It smells like bleach.

I don't like fizzy alcohol.

Cava
Champagne
Prosecco

🤮🤮🤮

LindorDoubleChoc · 25/04/2024 19:20

And tofu (as pp have said).

dancingqueen345 · 25/04/2024 19:20

Also, Halloumi fries.

LindorDoubleChoc · 25/04/2024 19:19

Raw tomatoes. God I wish I loved them as they upgrade so many meals and sandwiches with all their goodness, but I just can't.

Cucumber I gave up on years and years ago.

I'm hopeless with a Greek salad.

Any kind of shop-bought pizza. Absolutely vile, stodgy pap

Good one

Nubnut · 25/04/2024 19:18

Oh god yes tofu.

to the green tea haters - I would venture it’s the stuff in the teabags that is nasty. If you try a higher quality loose tea and make sure you brew it for the time it says and at the right temperature, I think the problems will go.

Another butternut squash! Bleurgh

Mummadeze · 25/04/2024 19:16

Bubble tea. Tried four times and can’t change my mind. They look so nice though!
