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!

What popular foods can you not stand?

Spaghetti is definitely the worst pasta.

Curry. And I can't understand why people are so shocked when I say I don't like it when it has such a distinctive taste. Confused

WombleishMerryChristmasOfThigh · 05/12/2019 08:57

Rocket. It tastes of burnt rubber and I can always detect it if it's in a pre-prepared or restaurant salad, even in tiny quantities. Ditto coriander.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 05/12/2019 09:00

Oh yes, balsamic vinegar.

Hate the stuff.

comfysocks · 05/12/2019 09:04

Goats cheese is REVOLTING
Also Gin, Tonic
Marzipan
Tuna and other tinned, oily fish

puds11 · 05/12/2019 09:06

Marzipan is shit. Used to make me so sad when a birthday cake was marzipan.

Tuna. Such cruelty involved too.

Salted caramel
Mint ice cream

Forgot, anything thats "fruit flavoured" without any fruit actually being involved. So, most cheap fizzy drinks etc. It was so easy giving them up when they all switched to artificial sweeteners (which trigger my migraines). Those foam banana sweet things are hideous.

Rudolphsjinglebells · 05/12/2019 20:21

I hate ice cream and coke

DoubleNegativePanda · 05/12/2019 20:26

Eggs. They taste like a fart in solid form.

Shrimp/Prawns. Underwater cockroaches.

Mushrooms. Rubbery dirt.

I can't understand why people eat any of them.

Proseccoagain · 05/12/2019 22:16

Mayonnaise; nuts, coleslaw, salad dressing, anything salady, beetroot, raw onion, raw tomato (love them cooked though).

Proseccoagain · 05/12/2019 22:20

Oh, and coriander leaves in curry, just vile. The ground coriander spice is ok though.

ooooohbetty · 05/12/2019 22:36

Milk. Can't stand it in anything. Can't stand the smell of it.
Peanut butter. Have never tried it. It looks and smells revolting.

catwithflowers · 05/12/2019 22:56

Gosh, you're a fussy lot 😂😂

The only thing I agree with on this thread is marzipan. Truly horrid, although I love almonds.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 05/12/2019 22:59

Cream.
I wish I liked it, because it's very awkward when your hostess has made two desserts both slathered with it, and you have to say sorry, it does look nice but I can't - even when you've told her the same more than once before.

Milk in tea - maybe related to the above. Tastes seriously vile to me.

Chemenger · 06/12/2019 06:30

catwithflowers I agree about marzipan and almonds, how can they taste so different?

geojojo · 06/12/2019 06:36

Chinese takeaway - I used to live in a flat above a really bad one and it put me off for life.
Tomato ketchup - I think I would rather eat anything other than this
Sweets - they just hurt my teeth

dottydaily · 06/12/2019 12:49

Salted caramel...

SpamChaudFroid · 06/12/2019 12:54

Hummus. I'd actually had recurring nightmares of my mouth being full of sludge, and when I tasted hummus for the first time I found it had exactly the same texture as the stuff I'd had nightmares about!

FattyCutty · 06/12/2019 14:15

Matcha , I mean what's the point it tastes weird. My husband gave me a matcha kit kat it was awful, sickly and was like eating green lard 🤢

stripeypillowcase · 06/12/2019 16:42

macha tastes like 'headache' to me (difficult to describe Confused )

feelingverylazytoday · 06/12/2019 16:46
