I hate pizza. Just thinking about it makes me feel ill, and when I tell people this in real life they get so confused! Anyone else hate anything everyone seems to like?

Chicken breast. Especially the chunks/mini fillets/diced variety. Absolutely vile.

My husband actually heaves at the smell and taste of chocolate. I used to find it hard to understand how anyone could dislike chocolate but now I see it as a blessing as I never have to share :)

Any cheese, baked beans, tomato ketchup although I like tomatoes.

Any fish unless it is breadcrumbs or batter, Branston pickle yeuhh.

@rooarsome the only time DP gets mash is if we go to a carvery and he bloody loves mash! It’s not allowed in the house.

Voyager54 · 04/07/2020 14:05

I forgot mention Baked beans

AgeLikeWine · 04/07/2020 14:06

Processed cheese, the sort that is in fast-food burgers and packs of slices or squeezy tubes. Disgusting, artificial muck. I love real cheese, though.

formerbabe · 04/07/2020 14:06

Pies and especially pie and mash. It's like the worst school dinner ever

BeBraveAndBeKind · 04/07/2020 14:07

Rocket and fresh coriander. One thing I've not missed during lockddown is trying to find a vegetarian sandwich without bloody rocket in it.

ExtremelyBoldSquirrels · 04/07/2020 14:08

Tuna. Actually, specifically tinned tuna. Tuna sashimi is delicious, but that horrible stuff in a tin is truly disgusting. And it stinks.

Bargainhuntbore · 04/07/2020 14:10

Olives
BBQ sauce
Ketchup
Meat platters
Shelfish

Tomato soup. Can't stand it. Makes me heave. But I love fresh tomatoes, tinned tomatoes, pomodoro sauces, passata, V8 and tomato juice so I'm not sure why tomato soup makes my stomach churn.

Itstartedinbarcelona · 04/07/2020 14:16

All fish, baked beans and proper fish shop chips 🤢. I wish the smell of chocolate made me heave though!! I’m jealous of that.

rc22 · 04/07/2020 14:18

Mushrooms are disgusting. Dislike trifle especially the horrible bitty sponge on the bottom. I love fresh cherries but can't bear anything cherry/black cherry flavoured like yogurts.

pinky987 · 04/07/2020 14:18

For me it’s curry

Talcott2007 · 04/07/2020 14:18

A couple previously mentioned - dislike All seafood and Avocado

But the one that seems to bother other people is Sausages! They all taste awful - pink slime made of arseholes and eyelids Envy

CuppaZa · 04/07/2020 14:19

I hate Chinese food from restaurants and takeaways. Everything tastes the same and it leaves an absolutely disgusting taste in my mouth.
I quite like home cooked Chinese though

SkepticalCat · 04/07/2020 14:19

The smell of Subway makes me heave too. Could never eat anything from there.

Over-ripe bananas. And the stringy bit you get on bananas 🤮

Dessicated coconut, but that's more the texture than flavour.

Frankfurter sausages. And when people talk about how amazing Ikea's hotdogs are, I just want to heave.

Sausages in a tin with baked beans or pasta shapes.

Pasta in a tin with tomato sauce.

BearSoFair · 04/07/2020 14:20

Avocado
Hummus
Caramel/toffee
Meringue - always looks so pretty then feels horrible in your mouth and tastes of nothing
Warm or hot fruit - I don't mind cold cooked fruit, a cool apple pie etc but can't bear it hot!

oliviaskies · 04/07/2020 14:21

I find takeaway Chinese so ridiculously salty, makes it impossible to eat.

Eggs and avocados - makes ordering breakfast or brunch out a challenge!

gincakecomps · 04/07/2020 14:21

Prawns

ActuallyItsEugene · 04/07/2020 14:23

All fruit
All seafood (the smell makes me Envy)

Talcott2007 · 04/07/2020 14:23

Sausages are gross!! Pink congealed slime made of arsesholes and eyelids which are not improved by any form of cookingEnvy

Impatientwino · 04/07/2020 14:24

Olives
Shellfish (bar prawns)
Pulled pork
Mashed Potatoes
Tropical fruit

crossstitchingnana · 04/07/2020 14:24
