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 see Gnocchi is mentioned a lot. I thought I hated it too, until I ate some good gnocchi and wow, nothing like those stodgy chewy blobs. It was light and pillow soft. I've tried making my own but never come close.

Smoked salmon. Would love to like it but it’s too fishy

So many other green tea people. I still make myself drink 3 cups for the health benefits but the taste, the tanic scum, urgh!

Fish and sea food I just can't stand it anymore although I don't mind tuna mayo!

I am seriously struggling here, the only thing I really don't like is sweet warm milky things like rice pudding or creme caramel and custard see also Baileys and trifle no better for having alcohol in them. I have never pretended to like things like that why would you ?

MavisPennies · 25/04/2024 19:03

Porridge. I want to like it, but it's so slimy.

FortunateSass · 25/04/2024 19:02

Green Tea! And coriander (not together obvs) I've tried so hard but can't stand the stuff 🤢

CountFucula · 25/04/2024 19:02

glazed or crème filled donuts 🤮

FloatyBoaty · 25/04/2024 19:01

Sun dried tomatoes

Baked beans (persevered because I thought it was childish to protest if they were on my plate, given their ubiquity. But no. I fucking hate them)

Goats cheese (although went off that after a food poisoning incident)

red wine- which I actually DO love. It’s sadly gone off me though

TheMuskratOfDestiny · 25/04/2024 19:00

Not quite the same but as soon as I realised goats cheese tastes the same as goats smell I went right off it.

SocksOnTheSaucepan · 25/04/2024 19:00

Green tea.
Smoked salmon.
Bananas unless they’re a bit overripe.
Raw tomatoes.

PeloMom · 25/04/2024 18:59

Alcohol, wine. Curry- blah, can’t stand any of them

JanglingJack · 25/04/2024 18:56

Fresh pan seared tuna. I want to like it, it looks lovely on tele... I don't like it, it's tastes of fishy blood.

Mussels. Nope. I have tried since I've been a grown up. Still no.

Tofu.

Agree with gnocchi and tea
Also whitebait or other small fish

Hotbaked · 25/04/2024 18:56

Spinach, I've tried it all the way you can possibly try it but I've finally decided that no, I don't like it, it's an awful texture both raw and cooked and I want to avoid eating it as much as possible. Similarly with gnocchi. I even tried this in Italy hoping it might be better, but no.

Borborygmus · 25/04/2024 18:55

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.

GladysOhli · 25/04/2024 18:54

Crab here too
Meat - all of it
Plain green tea. Can stomach the flavoured but is that it doing the goodness
Bananas I force down like medicine

PuppyMonkey · 25/04/2024 18:54

Hobnobs.

LaughterLentil · 25/04/2024 18:53

pub G&T - they never have the botanist!
any draught soft drink
ice cream

TranquilWater · 25/04/2024 18:51

Spaghetti Carbonara. I’ve tried to like it, and every so often I try again, but nope, it’s wasted on me.

LadyKenya · 25/04/2024 18:51

Crab. I finally called it a day, trying to like it, after having bought a tub of crab pate from M&S. I mistakenly thought it might be a bit nicer, for some reason. it was🤢 I have tried dressed crab as well, I should mention🦀

lemonyfox · 25/04/2024 18:51

Egg yolks

Wolfcub · 25/04/2024 18:51

Truffle. Awful stuff

Whatabouteryallaboutery · 25/04/2024 18:50

Salted caramel

This.

Who decided that salt in caramel is a good idea? Like adding saltiness makes it sophisticated and not for children?
It just ruins delicious caramel.
