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?

Not a food but a condiment-Mayo! It’s disgusting, I call it the devils Jizz 🤢

oliviaskies · 04/07/2020 15:48

Ooh, mayo is a good one. I don't eat eggs so it's off the table for me, but the colour and consistency is enough to make me glad I can't have it

Cheese and avocados for me 🤢

ivykaty44 · 04/07/2020 15:53

Galaxy chocolate- it sticks and makes me gag

DeeTractor · 04/07/2020 15:53

Macaroni and cheese
Peas
Custard
Tea and coffee

Fred578 · 04/07/2020 15:54

Chorizo... horrible stuff

Msfoxy17 · 04/07/2020 15:55

Mayonnaise
Peas
Custard
Sweet and sour dishes
Quinoa - horrible texture

iklboo · 04/07/2020 15:55

Also no to chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, chocolate mousse, cookies, hot chocolate, cocoa. I like chocolate itself, bars etc - just not as an ingredient.

BiggerBoat1 · 04/07/2020 15:57

Nandos - overpriced and shit
Strawberries - don't trust them
Milk - boak
Pulled pork - looks like someone's got there first and had a chew on it. Gross.

dementedma · 04/07/2020 15:58

Porridge. Satan's vomit

JumpingFrogs · 04/07/2020 16:01

Pears, especially tinned ones - nasty gritty things
Chocolate spread or Nutella - the chocolate/bread combination is unappealing
Margarine - happy to eat butter in copious quantities but Flora or Olivio type speads ruin a sandwich and I'd rather go hungry
Blueberries - tasteless and pointless
Chicken drumsticks/wings - so little chicken for so much effort
I love plenty of things that are generally unpopular though - can happily eat copious quantities of swede, cabbage, broad beans, liver, blue cheese etc etc

reluctantbrit · 04/07/2020 16:10

Sushi
Mashed food, the idea already makes me gag
I love fish but hate seafood like mussels or prawns
Mushrooms
Salted caramel. I hate the fact that most desserts are now not enjoyable for me anymore, why oh why was that invented

Squaffle · 04/07/2020 16:27

Anything batter-y: can’t stand Yorkshire Puddings or pancakes. Deep fried batter isn’t a problem though Smile

Tea (as in cup of tea): I try it once in a blue moon to see what all the fuss is about. Cannot stand it.

Anything in the fudge/toffee/caramel family.

passthemustard · 04/07/2020 16:30

This thread is making me HUNGRY!!

I'm totally not fussy about anything.

The only things I wouldn't eat are oysters and snails but neither could classed as popular food. Obviously there's things I prefer but I wouldn't have to say no to anything at a dinner party (because I wouldn't be friends with anyone who ate snails!)

jcurve · 04/07/2020 16:48

Just parsnips. Absolutely loathe them. And pre-made sandwiches (M&S etc) as they don’t taste fresh.

I eat literally everything else - sardines, olives, anchovies, smelly cheeses, avocado, tripe etc - so I don’t know where the parsnip hatred comes from.

southern82 · 04/07/2020 17:53

Doughnuts-absolutely vile things!
Fish of any kind
Sprouts, aubergine, turnip, broccoli - all disgusting.
Jacket potatoes - urgh!
Honeydew Melon - tastes like vomit

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 04/07/2020 17:57

Tomatoes

oliviaskies · 04/07/2020 18:01

Controversially, I prefer Flora to butter!
DD asked for KFC tonight 🤢 I don't usually mind as I quite like their wraps, but they don't have those at the moment as they're still on a limited menu.

Cream
And milk, unless it’s skimmed, which is just about acceptable on cereal or in coffee or cheese sauce.

Fennel, in so many fashionable recipes, God knows why - it’s vile.

formerbabe · 04/07/2020 18:29

Squirty cream...vile stuff

Bookaholic73 · 04/07/2020 18:30

Another one voting for cheese. I’m also not a fan of any meat, apart from Chicken.
And anything spicy..yuk!

areyoubeingserviced · 04/07/2020 18:32

Chocolate cake
Chocolate Icecream
Pizza
Chocolate milkshake

However, I love chocolate bars

MrsAvocet · 04/07/2020 18:35

I don't like chocolate cake. Which is odd really, as I like cake and I love chocolate, but together, nope.

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 04/07/2020 18:44

Oreos
Salted Caramel

anothermansmother · 04/07/2020 18:47

Cheese especially when melted, the smell of it makes me want to be sick. Pizza due to the cheese. Baby corn, it's smells and tastes like it's gone off.
