Also Tommy Cooper.

And dogs.

Tiramisu. It tastes like an accident with post-dinner coffee, liqueur and biscuits. Would rather have them separately.

In a similar vein, summer pudding and bread and butter pudding. Soggy bread does nothing for me thanks.

Although weirdly I don't mind trifle. Confused

ComeBackBarack · 15/06/2019 08:12

Summer pudding like breaD and jam but soggy and not nice.

Mrs Brown’s boys. I occasionally wonder who watches that and decide nobody.

Socialising.

Barbecues. I do go to be polite, and we do have them, but if I never did again I’d be very very ok about it. Such a faff for burned meat that doubt is good for you.
Christmas. I love the idea of the one in my head. The reality is another matter.

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 15/06/2019 08:48

Oh yes, Summer Pudding! Looks amazing, tasted like soggy bread and mushy fruit. Waste of berries IMO.

BillywilliamV · 15/06/2019 08:53

Salted caramel flavour stuff...eugh!

Giggorata · 15/06/2019 08:53

Musicals, awful, cringeworthy. I include Gilbert and Sullivan in this group.
Reality TV and soaps. I've barely got time for my own life.
Facebook. Just no.
Jazz and/or atonal music. It all makes me wince and frown.
Sport. Except snooker, because I secretly don't class it as a sport.
Superhero films. Yawn.
There are a lot more, but I will earn myself a place on Grumpy Ole Women...

Alcohol
Eggs - really wish this was different because there are so many quick easy recipes
Goat/sheep cheese
GoT

city breaks. I always feel sheepish on the holiday threads where people are getting admonished for not loving spending 2 weeks wandering round churches, historic squares and museums.

I actually do like art galleries but not for days on end, and churches and temples don't interest me unless they have good cemeteries.

soulrunner · 15/06/2019 08:56

Also, carrot cake. Love carrots, love cake. Hate them combined.

Craftycorvid · 15/06/2019 09:00

Found my tribe with: all forms of musical theatre; shopping with friends (I like my friends, I like shopping, just not combined); GoT (melodrama with dragons? What?)

I’m afraid I also need to add most forms of ‘high art’ such as ballet and classical music (though I love baroque music).

Prosecco - don’t drink nowadays but when I did I just thought ‘tasteless fizz - why?’

Eustasiavye · 15/06/2019 09:01

I agree about bbqs. I don't like eating burnt sausages with the risk of getting food poisoning.
There are always people I don't know, whom I'm never going to get to know but have to make small talk with.

Mummaofmytribe · 15/06/2019 09:01

Girls' shopping trips.
The beach.
Oysters.

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 15/06/2019 09:03

Soulrunner city breaks are normally a weekend or at most 3 or 4 days. I agree a 2 week city break would be hell!

Heratnumber7 · 15/06/2019 09:04

Baked beans. I can't even look at them.

BenWillbondsPants · 15/06/2019 09:17

Game of Thrones - persevered for 5 episodes but I just can't be arsed to watch any more.

Beach holidays abroad - I like it in this country, it's a fascinating and interesting country.

Sourdough bread - shite

Sushi - gopping.

DougalsBlueJumper · 15/06/2019 09:38

Another one for musicals here ....

But the thing I hate more than musicals is the endless queue of people saying 'I know you hate musicals, but you'll LOVE this one'. NO I WON'T! Why does it matter so much to you?

But, you know, sometimes I think maybe they're right and this is the one. So I give in and watch it and, guess what? It's utter crud. Two hours of my life I can't get back.

DXBMermaid · 15/06/2019 09:47

Sushi. I like raw fish, I like seaweed. It's the cold rice I don't like.

Gin&Tonic

Musicals

Ed Sheeran

GOT

redspider1 · 15/06/2019 09:47

'Going to see a show' Aggggghhhhhhhh!! Nooooooooo!

redspider1 · 15/06/2019 09:48

Someone at work said recently "How can you not like musicals?"
Hmm

growlingbear · 15/06/2019 09:50

Dougals - yes! Not just musicals but people insisting I'll love this one. I won't. Stop banging on about Hamilton. You forced me to listen to extracts from it and I hated them so the live show really won't change anything. Etc. Grin
