I love food, but people who don't know me well sometimes think I am picky because I don't like...
Pasta. Of any kind. No noodles, spaghetti, or anything. It's the texture I'm sensitive to, it just makes me naucious.
Also not nearly as bad but I dislike lettuce. Absolutely love spinach though.

Avocado, being vegan it seems I'm committing some sin when I say this to fellow vegans Grin

Hahaha, avocado is my favourite!
Definitely not a sin not to like it though!

Pizza. The only time I enjoy it is in the US.

Any and all seafood EXCEPT anything with suckers on. Love a bit of octopus.

MeetOnTheSIedge · 19/12/2018 06:54

Trifle, especially if it's got alcohol in it. Cold custard, soggy cake, yuck.

@Insomnibrat
Bet you wish you were me then! I can't eat seafood, as am allergic.

I'm not struck on avocado either. Mushy Green pap 🤮
I'm also not keen on tomatoes on their own or in sarnies, or porridge.

All of them texture issues. I think I'll eat anything else.

ProfessionallyUnoffended · 19/12/2018 06:54

Anything with cooked cheese, yuk!

Nakedavenger74 · 19/12/2018 06:56

I eat everything except goats cheese and custard. Vile. Most people seem to have them as The Most Favourite Food and react with incredulity.

GaryBaldbiscuit · 19/12/2018 06:58

dont like goat's cheese, but it turns out feta is goats cheese, and i like that Blush
dont like lamb

GaryBaldbiscuit · 19/12/2018 06:59

cockles and muscles

GaryBaldbiscuit · 19/12/2018 06:59

steak, roast beef

SinglePringle · 19/12/2018 07:01

Cake and chocolate.

Claggy and taste of fat (as in, oil etc). People think I’m lying.

Ditto hot chocolate. Far too sweet and rich.

MiniTheMinx · 19/12/2018 07:02

Lamb? I love lamb Grin I can't eat bacon. It's chewy, salty, and the texture is revolting, almost as much as it's smell.

DrDiva · 19/12/2018 07:04

Turkey, Brussels sprouts, custard, Christmas pudding, mince pies...

Are you seeing a theme here?!

YouKnowItIs · 19/12/2018 07:04

Aubergine, peppers and courgette - bitter and sour disgusting tastes.

KingPrawnOkay · 19/12/2018 07:05

@WatchingTheWheels85

I’m a vegan who hates avacados too - I’ve never met another one before Grin. Also hummus. And the Sainsbob’s Shroomdogs everyone raves about.

CherryBlossom23 · 19/12/2018 07:05

Cheesecake. I can't handle the texture, makes me want to gag.

fieryginger · 19/12/2018 07:05

Cheese.

Stringofpearls · 19/12/2018 07:06

Alcohol in puddings or desserts, sorry but it just ruins it completely, especially if its a chocolatey one.

Santasshoe · 19/12/2018 07:06

Custard and rice pudding.

Santasshoe · 19/12/2018 07:08

Forgot the one that gets me the most suspicious looks bacon even the smell turns my stomach.

Another food that is vile to me... American cheese, seemingly found all over the US. Just why? Love most other cheeses though.

Plaiceholder · 19/12/2018 07:09

Anything chocolatey - cake, ice cream, mousse etc.

But not chocolate.

Nakedavenger74 · 19/12/2018 07:09

@GaryBaldbiscuit it's usually sheep's cheese actually. Goats feta would be a speciality type
