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 😣

Jellied eels

Mushrooms 🤮🤮🤮

For the last 30 years or so, meat and fish. I'm not morally opposed to people consuming meat and fish- although I am morally opposed to the way our meat and fish industries run and constantly disappointed that more people are not willing to limit their consumption of both in order that the animals and fish we do eat are not subjected to the appalling suffering they are, let alone the impact on the planet of humanity's overconsumption of both. But the main reason I stopped eating both was sheer personal disgust. It makes me feel sick to imagine consuming either.

In a less serious and preachy vein:
anything involving cooked fruit
sweet stuff with savoury stuff, it's just wrong, I can't do it (ie jam on bread)
vegemite

Olives euk the smell!
I wouldn't eat weetabix ever again, but I have tried them.

Snails
Liver or any other organs
Lamb
Veel
Rabbit
Deer
Or any other cute or baby animals

Also shark fin. I heard the way the fins are obtained is horrible .

Casu Marzu

Anything deep fried and aubergine 🤮

Any seafood (though I'm allergic to prawns so that kinda explains it.)
Offal or anything offal adjacent.

Not keen on tinned tomato based products like spaghetti hoops and such.

Oh had to come back on as my mam likes to eat "cow heel" and my dad eats "pig bag" (pigs ball sack 😷😷😷)... also they eat winkles too but I don't mind them...

I'm a vegetarian, so that rules out a lot.

Other things I'll never try again:

Cheese. Any kind of cheese.
Butter. I have no problem with it being an ingredient in something cooked, but if the butter can be tasted, then no.
Mayonnaise.
Salad cream.
Mushrooms.
Boiled eggs. I like eggs cooked in other ways, but can't deal with runny yolk, or the smell and grey layer of a hard-boiled one.

Tripe, tongue, sushi, lychee, ramboutans, eyes, brains, hearts, chitterlings, raw meat or fish, haggis, okra, butter beans, or any type of mealy bean. That really stinky Icelandic aged fish, and everlasting cheeses, like Stinking Bishop, or the Norwegian one.

Liver

Tripe and liver.
Oysters.

Okra
Tripe
Kraft Mac 'n Cheese

Oysters, tapioca, tripe because of texture.
Rare meat because of how it looks.
Shellfish or anything still in its shell like a crab due to it looking like an animal and because of the hassle of taking it apart.

Interesting thread.

Some posters must only eat from a limited range of foods though. How does that work if dining out or as a guest in someone's home?

Dead animals (or living ones)
Dairy
Raw tomato
Those weird little round yellow fruits that look like a mini tomato

I sat next to an old woman eating jellied eels on the train once 🤮 it was horrific. Wouldn't eat them for any amount of money.

Tripe. I can’t even look at it. A trypophobe’s nightmare.

Interesting. I was going to say tripe as well - I'm not normally so squeamish that I wouldn't even try something, but when DH ordered it once just the sight of it made me feel dizzy and 'wrong'.

@SimonJT physalis? If so - they're disgusting.

Got given some camel milk chocolate. Couldn't stomach it

animal related products, slimy vegetables.
