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.

Macaroni cheese (I like other pasta and cheese sauce, but macaroni's shape tastes wrong)
Coleslaw- again, I like cabbage, and carrots, and mayonnaise, just not together
Chocolate - but I like it in things
Have gone off avocados a bit, too

littletortoise · 19/12/2018 14:44

Tomatoes in any form apart from in spaghetti bolognese - the devil‘s own bollocks
Mince pies
Fruit cake
Lamb
Carrot - I don’t dislike it in any way but if it’s cut into those strips for salad or into rounds on a roast I physically can’t swallow it and spend ages gagging on it instead Confused bizarre. If they’re mushy in the middle it’s fine!
Carrot and swede mash, vile

littletortoise · 19/12/2018 14:44

And pork - pork smells so dirty to me I can’t stand it. Always dirty and hard in the mouth

msnowtybach · 19/12/2018 14:52

Goats Cheese, baked beans and fried eggs are all revolting.

If you dont count meat (Im veggie) my absolute HATE is Watermelon. People say Its refreshsng all I can taste is mushy cotton wool. Ive tried it multiple times and Its still horid. Even celery has more going for it!

skippy67 · 19/12/2018 15:03

Custard.
Lamb. Oranges. The smell of oranges or satsumas makes me heave.
Anything flavoured with chocolate or cocoa. I love chocolate though.
Tea. Disgusting stuff.

ChocolateTearDrops · 19/12/2018 15:36

Pork and chicken. The smell of them cooking makes me want to hurl. 🤮

Orange "flavour" just tastes vile.

BearSoFair · 19/12/2018 15:39

Avocado - tastes like soap
Lamb - even the smell makes me feel a bit sick

OneStepMoreFun · 19/12/2018 15:40

Shellfish. So much good food is ruined by some evil pink sea insect.

corissants. neither soft nor crispy, neither moist nor dry. They are so bland.

Thecurtainsofdestiny · 19/12/2018 15:44

Fizzy drinks - too fizzy

Gin- too medicinal

Quinoa- too slimey

PavlovianLunge · 19/12/2018 15:45

Lobster. Absolutely wasted on me.

Strawberry and chocolate. Fabulous on their own, can’t bear them together.

Brandy. It can be the best brandy in the world, I still won’t like it.

Ohyesiam · 19/12/2018 15:46

Milk. eeeeeeeeeeeew

bunintheoven88 · 19/12/2018 15:48

Pea's can go to hell.

bunintheoven88 · 19/12/2018 15:49

*Peas

AdamNichol · 19/12/2018 15:49

So much hatred for peas here. Who knew? Now I'm compelled to type Give Peas a Chance

Sexnotgender · 19/12/2018 15:51

Lamb - hate the smell and the taste
Fish and seafood
Pringles - shit pretend crisps
Dried fruit - ruins so many things
Trifle - soggy sponge and cold custard Envy boak
Sloppy food like rice pudding

KnittingSister · 19/12/2018 15:52

Grin AdamNichol I have, many times. Still can't stand them!

isseywithcats · 19/12/2018 15:54

Sweetcorn and peppers people look at me like im mad when i say i hate them, peppers overcome the taste of any food they are in and sweetcorn is just gross

sausagepastapot · 19/12/2018 15:54

I f*cking hate sea food, except fish and chips type fish.

PavlovianLunge · 19/12/2018 15:58

Risotto. The devil’s diarrhoea. Envy

GallicosCats · 19/12/2018 16:09

I am probably the least picky eater on the planet but...rice pudding.Yuk. It's the texture, I can't get it past the back of my mouth. Bread sauce, ditto. And although I can eat it if I must (!) I don't really like tiramisu. As a kid, those classroom Christmas party treats, iced buns, aka sugared cotton wool. Dried my mouth out and tasted of nothing.

GallicosCats · 19/12/2018 16:19

Out of interest I wonder how many of you who can't stand milk, cheese or cream actually have an undiagnosed dairy intolerance? Apparently the ability to digest milk past infancy is a genetic quirk most common in white Northern Europeans, and becomes less common the nearer you get to the equator.

TeacupDrama · 19/12/2018 16:44

don't like tomato sauce in a bottle I like raw tomatoes and cooked tomatoes and tomatoes in a pasta sauce but not the sickly goo from a bottle it ruins everything
