I cannot stand peanut butter to the point where if it’s in the house I feel uncomfortable Hmm Butter from peanuts...it’s just wrong!

Dried fruit. Sickly sweet!
My mum used to give me those small boxes of raisins as part of packed lunch.
Nooo!
Don't mind sultanas in porrige or a fruit scone though - diluted?
Anything with strong baking soda - soda bread, quite a few biscuits and cookies.
Raw peppers or charred peppers on bruchetta No!
Not huge fan of water melon, or melon flavoured sweets
Macdonalds stinks IMO
Spagetti hoops
Very dark chocolate with 1000000 percent cocoa solids. Basically tastes like bitter, brown wax to me.
A lot of berries are far too tart, blackberries etc..

Dear sandwich makers,

Please stop ruining delicious cheese with disgusting raw onion.

Thank you.

Pizza
Cant stand it

joystir59 · 05/12/2019 04:43

Pies and pastry in general. I love all kinds of actual fruit but cannot abide cheap fruit flavoured cheesecake or anything with that awful excruciatingly sweet fruit filling. Fruit flavoured ice-cream or desserts. Fruit flavoured yoghurt.
Roast dinners, any kind of meat and two veg type meals.
Sweet stuff in savoury food such as sweet and sour dishes, fruit in curry.
Sweet fizzy drinks.

joystir59 · 05/12/2019 04:45

Oh yes, smoked salmon that's been cooked into a dish such as scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Disgusting.

joystir59 · 05/12/2019 04:46

Beer! Takes so sour and makes my mouth dry out.

joystir59 · 05/12/2019 04:48

I don't like bagels either, at least not supermarket ones although I'd like to try a real Jewish bakery bagel. Supermarket bagels are so dense and heavy and lifeless.

MarleneandBoycie · 05/12/2019 05:00

Balsamic vinegar. I am just glad it's not the 90s anymore

BestOption · 05/12/2019 05:01

Green beans.

I’m a vegetarian that doesn’t eat eggs - but pre that (my Dad said it was just a ‘fad’- yep it’s now been a 30 year ‘fad’ 🙄) I didn’t eat seafood as I thought it was disgusting and didn’t eat offal etc.

Avocadis are the food if the gods, BUT they need to be ripe (or they’re hard,slimy & tasteless & not ‘over ripe’ as they’re really horrid then. But one that’s ‘right’ is a thing to die for. 🥑

CrowleysBentley · 05/12/2019 05:34

Avocado. Tastes like soap, disgusting stuff.
Fried/poached/boiled eggs. Egg white is gross. I love omelette and scrambled eggs though.
Blue cheese. It's mouldy and nasty. I love pretty much all other cheese. Except goats cheese, that's rank too.

Other than that I'll eat pretty much anything!

shiveringsparklingtimber · 05/12/2019 05:57

Salad cream
Eggs
Sardines
Tuna
Any strong-tasting fish 🤢
Rice pudding
Overcooked veg

Allergic to peanut butter (and peas) so don't know what they taste like.

ReadingwithTea · 05/12/2019 06:33

Salted caramel.

Fredy45 · 05/12/2019 06:45

Increasing 'normal' chocolate. Cadbury's etc. Like the occasional posh choc but most bars leave me cold.
