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

Rollmops. I cant even look at them without gagging

Floralnomad · 23/05/2020 14:45

Baked beans
Cream eggs

Nestofvipers · 23/05/2020 14:46

Durian. Not that there’s often an opportunity to eat it very often.

One of those modern cupcakes with the huge swirl of frosting on the top.

Incredibly fancy birthday cakes that someone has spent hours decorating to perfection. It's just the thought of all that fondant icing being rolled out and formed into flower petals and the like and generally over-handled. Celebration cakes like this leave me absolutely cold.

Pickled onions
Pickled eggs
Cheese (have been forced to try bits over time but it's going on there, I just hate it)
Most prepackaged salads which are basically either mayonnaise or salad cream with tiny lost slivers of carrot or onion floating around in there)

Oh God yes, I agree with whoever said crab sticks.

mummabearfourbabybears · 23/05/2020 15:00

Venison or rabbit. But I do eat meat.

DramaAlpaca · 23/05/2020 15:01

Any type of offal, anything that has a shell, tinned tuna.

WhenItIsOver · 23/05/2020 15:01

Before I stopped eating creatures -
Snails
Frogs legs
Eyeballs
Testicles
Chicken feet
Brains
Crabs and lobsters
Mussels, oysters, cockles and whelks
Eels

mum2jakie · 23/05/2020 15:01

Scallops

WhenItIsOver · 23/05/2020 15:02

Dog or cat
Rabbit

Doingtheboxerbeat · 23/05/2020 15:55

Absolutely everything from page 1&2, because the way you have all described food I usually like. But in reality, just beetroot.

lazylinguist · 23/05/2020 15:57

Was going to smugly say 'nothing', but actually... tripe and jellied eels.

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 23/05/2020 15:59

Porridge.

Cherrysoup · 23/05/2020 16:06

@Kittenlicker I’m with you on that, aspic, jelly makes me want to vomit.

Fat on meat.
Lamb-smells of death.
Wobbly undercooked eggs.

packetandtripe · 24/05/2020 00:45

dried fruit of any kind

Lynda07 · 24/05/2020 02:41

Shell fish, crustaceans, molluscs. Veal. Anything with dessicated coconut.

Rentacar · 24/05/2020 03:06

Liver.

Pixxie7 · 24/05/2020 03:33

Shell fish, tripe, oral, brains etc.

PrimeroseHillAnnie · 24/05/2020 03:47

Bat soup 🥣

ALongHardWinter · 24/05/2020 04:11

Any sort of offal. Jellied eels. Rollmop herrings. Oysters. And snails. When I saw that recipe for 'snail porridge' that Heston Blumenthal did a few years back,I nearly barfed on the spot. Envy(not envy).

Jannie62 · 30/05/2020 17:49

Tinned gooseberries. I was traumatised by being forced to eat them at Junior School. The Headmistress, who was insisting I ate them, let me off when I started to retch! Scarred for life!!!

JosieB68 · 30/05/2020 17:54

Another one for cottage cheese 🤢

doadeer · 30/05/2020 17:57

Jellies eels
Jelly on pork pies
Any thick sandwich filling like coronation chicken or egg mayonnaise. I can't bear it. I like a dry sandwich with butter 🤣

Mother87 · 30/05/2020 18:02

Oysters/Black Pudding/rollmop herrings
