What foods do you dislike that most people love?

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
Goats cheese

There’s other stuff I don’t like but these are the two that others often love.

Tiramasu (sorry if spelled incorrectly), alcohol, marzipan, those cheesy cracker things - little circle ones that come in bags.

Nakedavenger74 · 19/12/2018 07:11

@Plaiceholder totally agree. Chocolate cake is the shittest of the cakes

shelikesemwithamoustache · 19/12/2018 07:12

Mashed potato. Texture makes me want to heave. Baked beans also, texture is slightly grainy and makes me gag.

BaconLT · 19/12/2018 07:12

Coffee and chocolate together. Coffee and chocolate alone are good.

Another one who hates goat cheese or lamb. It actually makes me retch if I smell it 😳 Food of the devil!

Layoverlife · 19/12/2018 07:14

Strawberries, can't stand them on their own or in anything 😷

GaryBaldbiscuit · 19/12/2018 07:15

GaryBaldbiscuit · 19/12/2018 07:15

also hate vomit smelling Parmesan

MeetOnTheSIedge · 19/12/2018 07:16

I agree about alcohol in puddings, it totally ruins them.

GaryBaldbiscuit · 19/12/2018 07:17

strawberry yoghurt, or anything with strawberry, apart from actual strawberries, i like those

PickleMeThis · 19/12/2018 07:19

Any fish or seafood.
Tomatoes unless it’s in sauce form.
Onions
Cous cous or quinoa
Avocado
Porridge

Furrycushion · 19/12/2018 07:21

Olives. I have tried to like them but, yuk. And trifle, what's to like about soggy sponge with cold custard, jelly & sherry?
Love goats cheese but can understand why you wouldn't.

ImTheOnlyUpsyOne · 19/12/2018 07:22

Nutella

Tara336 · 19/12/2018 07:22

Goats cheese, fish and seafood, avocado all make me gag

ILiveInSalemsLot · 19/12/2018 07:24

Eggs. Can’t stand the smell.

FTFF · 19/12/2018 07:24

Bananas, the texture makes me gag. They also give me a sore stomach and horrendous heartburn.

Yoghurt again a texture thing, I can eat it but it has to be thicker consistency.

Eggs, I can force myself to eat fried eggs but scrambled/fried/poached make me feel sick.

SoEasilyCaught · 19/12/2018 07:26

Seafood- ughhhhh. Molluscs. Bivalves. Ughhhhh.

ikltownofboothlehem · 19/12/2018 07:27

Nutella
Chocolate cake
Chocolate ice cream
Chocolate mousse
Hot chocolate
Double chocolate cookies

I like chocolate. I like chocolate covered biscuits. Just not stuff with chocolate in

ikltownofboothlehem · 19/12/2018 07:29

I have found my people Grin

ManchesterMum63 · 19/12/2018 07:35

Pizza/olives/most things in wraps/mushroom or butternut squash soup (which are ALWAYS on the menu if I ever fancy soup)/things with too many bright colours😆

AlwaysSomethingThere · 19/12/2018 07:36

Sweet and sour chicken

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 19/12/2018 07:37

Avocados, I hate the texture and taste
Apricots in any form
Trifle ew just ew
Most cake, it just tastes of artificial sweeteness to me
Any haribo type sweets, just thinking about them gives me indigestion

Raspberry88 · 19/12/2018 07:37

I am such a foodie, love almost everything and will pretty much try anything...but there are two things I cannot stand. Bananas and sweetcorn. I absolutely hate them.

Nicpem1982 · 19/12/2018 07:39

Donuts, waffles or warm sugar

People look at me Hmm but its that over powering smell
