What food do you refuse to even try because the idea of it makes you heave?

[00100001]

For some reason I will not try banana fritters.
Just the idea of eating them makes me go gaaaaaaah 😣

Tripe and black pudding.

Can see they're common on here so at least I'm not alone.

DH loves black pudding and got me to try some once except I got as far as it touching my mouth and I had to spit it out cos I just couldn't go through with it

Tripe and tapioca. (Together or separately)

Oysters
Tripe
Kidney
Dog food

Stilton it smells of sick
Eels too snake-like

Trifle. Oh the thought of it makes me gag. I think it's the combination of textures and it being cold. Yuck.

All offal and most seafood. Frogs legs and snails. Lamb.

I did try squished greenfly the other day though. Won't do that again.

PatrickRum's list is full of my favourite foods, to the non-eel triers, smoked eel is lovely. I'll give everything a go, I love trying new foods.

However, I could not countenance biting into a green apple. I'd probably faint.

Meat. Jellied eels. Anything that has jelly/aspic stuff round it. That’s f*cking rank.

Ohh, I like jellied stuff Kitten, I make a tail and tongue terrine with oxtail and tongue that's cooked with pig's trotters, you fish out all the meat and aromatics, add a bottle of red wine and reduce it, chop and shred your meat, put it in a mould with the reduced liquor and set in the fridge. Very nice with sourdough, cornichons and mustard.

I'd love to hear(read?) from all you tripe haters here, just how it was cooked?
The only food I've actually spat out into my napkin has been haggis. Possibly something going on there with the spicing?Dunno.Just that my tastebuds were telling me that swallowing this would be a bad thing.

Offal of any kind

Weetabix - I couldn’t eat it I’d it was the only thing on earth left to eat!

Anything milky, white and curdy - cottage cheese, rice pudding, porridge. Urgh.

Black pudding

And haggis!

Cottage cheese

Loads. Most fruits. Anything squishy, blobby, gelatinous or that has seeds in. Tomatoes are a good example. I'm fine with passata and tomato puree, use them a lot, but actual tomatoes, nope.

Bananas.

Yoghurt. Anything cold and goopy has no appeal whatsoever for me.

It's not a taste things, it's textures that make me shudder. I like lots of commonly disliked foods, like sardines, anchovies, olives, love them.

Snails. I dislike cockles and whelks, which apparently have the same texture.
I tried a cooked oyster on holiday once, and really disliked the taste, so I shan't try raw oysters.

I have tried tripe and disliked it.

I like most foods mentioned upthread though.

Beetroot and salad cream.

Crab Sticks

Flaked coconut and most nuts. It's a texture thing. I actually like the flavor of coconut, but anything with flakes makes me heave.

Tripe. Brains.

brie
smelly cheeses (the veiny ones- gross! Why eat food that tastes like the stomach flu?)
snails
frog legs
insects
dried fish heads and peanuts (this was a common snack on trains when I was in Japan in the 90s)
black pudding
offal
tripe
head cheese

Right. Off to puke in the toilet now.

Oysters
Jellied eels
Tripe
Quorn - after seeing how violently ill it made both SIL and BIL!

Jackfruit I'm vegan and everyone raves about it but I can't bring myself to try it.
