What foods do you dislike that most people love?

[WaterBird]

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.

Goats cheese/milk
Stinks, tastes foul

Marzipan and icing.Way to ruin a nice sponge.

There is.almost nothing I have ever tried/ or smelt that I really CAN'T eat, in that I gag/ it makes me vomit etc - except oysters (not sure those are in the category of ' food others mostly like' though')

However foods that are generally liked by a lot of people that I really avoid eating unless to be mega polite or if absolutely starving and nothing else is on offer include:

Mashed potato (unless it is more like crushed bolied potatoes - but smooth creamy mash yuk yuk yuk)

Soup of most type uness it is a clear broth type with veg/ noodles or the other extreme of a 'soup' that is more of a stew or casserole with chunks of meat/ veg/ pasta/ rice in. Thick blended gloopy ones ( i.e. most of them ) I can't stand.

Gravy in most forms unless it is a thin clear type of gravy but even then only in very small quantities and only on the meat never the potatoes or veg. Many a roast dinner has been ruined for.me by being covered in yukky brown gloop

I think I see a theme

Also not keen on
Banana flavoured stuff ( fresh or in homemade cakes it is fine though)
Strawberries. Fresh or flavoured
Lemon flavoured things ( or anything sour based like vinegar etc)

Things with too much chilli in. Hot curries. Yuk. They wreck your taste buds so you can't taste all the subtleties in other food.

Eggs
Milk
Cabbage
Brussels sprouts
Cheap rubbish chocolate
Gravy from granules
Salt
Onion
Spring onion
Leeks
Alcohol
Liver
Cheap sausages
Black pudding

Baked beans
Garlic
Tomato purée
Most bread
Suet type puddings
Warm sponge type puddings
Custard
Tea

Any crisps apart from ready salted.
Oysters
Coconut (a texture thing - I like the flavour from creamed coconut)

Salad cream.

Literally the worst tasting thing in the world.

Kettle crisps
do not like the oiliness or the flavour,

Avocado. Peanut butter. Bananas. Quinoa. Pulses. Bread. On and on and on . . . .

bumblingbovine are you my dd?

As said before, I'm not that fussy, I eat most veg but really don't like raw onions (unless in an Indian type salad with lemon juice or pickled) or parsnips. I would probably tolerate parsnips if cooked up in a stew or soup, as they would mostly taste not that strong, but roast parsnips are horrible, parading as roast potatoes to catch you out.

Bacon? People who hate bacon? What's going on? I suspect you may be some of David Icke's lizard people.

"Worst thing EVER in my book - GARLIC!!! How the hell anyone thinks the vile stuff tastes good is beyond me. Plus the stench of people after eating anything with garlic in it!"

Rafflesway I had to look at the date of this topic as I was so sure that must be MY post! I have NO IDEA why other people love it so much?! Am always seeing posts like 'mmmm garlic' 'ohh there can never be too much garlic for me!' 'the recipe says two cloves of garlic - I use six! wink wink' and lots of approving nods as everyone bonds over unspoken agreement that garlic is irresistible to everyone, no matter what their other tastes - bewildering, as for me the stuff makes food smell and taste like something which shouldn't be eaten.

I also have more mainstream (going by this thread) dislikes - goats' cheese (smells and tastes goaty) lettuce (watery and tasteless) and (like OP) I'm not keen on pasta of any kind.

But iIt's garlic that causes me the most sadness as it ruins so many otherwise lovely dishes and because I feel like a stranger in a strange land, left out of the whole human race's Garlic Fan Club!

I’ll use a rating scale:

Custard & milky puddings 🤮🤮🤮
Jam and marmalade 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Pork 🤮🤮

Tomato ketchup. I cannot stand the sight or smell of it at the table either.
Beetroot makes me heave and coriander is horrible and overpowers everything.

curry

Cucumber - horrible overpowering taste and smell. Even if it's taken out of a salad I can taste that it was there.

Onions - I think it's the texture more than the taste. Raw onions make me want to heave, and I'm not a fan of slimy cooked onions either. Won't touch them unless they're chopped up really finely and well cooked in a spag bol or something. Not liking onions is hard in this world as it seems like they're in nearly everything.

Lemon and all lemon flavoured things - just horribly bitter.

Of course I love all the bad stuff like cake, chocolate, etc.

Curry
Rice
Blue cheese
Goats cheese
Chilli
Chinese food
Noodles
Parsnips
Spinach
Broccoli
Macaroni Cheese

I forgot peanuts and peanut butter.
Funny how people's taste buds differ!

After a couple of years of gastric /digestion related problems and following another horrible bout in February it was suggested I avoid caffeine, alcohol and acidic foods so after research I gave up Tea, Coffee, Alcohol and Chocolate. Also bread, onions, tomatoes, soft drinks. It has made such a positive difference to my health but so difficult socially at times.

Smoked salmon. The slippery texture makes me feel sick. 🤮

Mushrooms

I'm allergic to peanuts (anaphylaxis) and so sensitized after all these years that even a fragment of a peanut would kill me. But I don't know what peanuts taste like! Peanut butter looks interesting. I'm always asking people to describe the taste.

Shortbread

Strawberries

Yogurt

I'm the least fussy person but I HATE bacon. No pigs in blankets or bacon sandwiches for me. I do like bacon flavoured things though- bacon croutons❤️
