Run of the mill foods that you just can’t stomach?

What’s your ‘normal’ run of the mill for that you just can’t?

I’ll go first…

warmed tuna, like tuna tomato pasta or a tuna melt… anything with warm tuna is a hard pass.

mystery meat, like frankfurters etc, i could never eat a hot dog, and those hot dogs that you see in jars Vom.com

Baked beans and scrambled eggs. Smell of both I simply cannot stomach.

TellMeAboutItAnotherTime · 19/02/2023 20:37

I'm with you on warm tuna!

Also....porridge. Just can't ! The texture, taste...nope

And goats cheese...everyone loves it, I can't bear it!

Bananas make me gag.

APurpleSquirrel · 19/02/2023 20:37

Cheese - pretty much any cheese (can manage a Babybel on a cracker, or mascarpone in a pasta sauce)

HoldingTheDoor · 19/02/2023 20:37

Milk when it isn't straight from the fridge.

Raw and pieces of cooked tomatoes. They make me retch. I love tomato based sauces though.

Coleslaw. Even the word and the sight of it makes me feel ill. I couldn't take a bite of it for a million pounds.

I don’t like a lot of food but the one that always gets people…pizza and cake. Can’t stand it

I’m with you on the beans, can’t stand the buggers. It’s the beans + sauce because I like the beans if you wash the sauce off and I like spaghetti hoops… go figure

Cucumber and walnuts (separately, not together - although together would be even worse!)

Hedjwitch · 19/02/2023 20:38

Porridge. The very smell makes me retch

Celery. Ew

Thatsshallot1967 · 19/02/2023 20:38

Soup. Smooth or lumpy. Reminds me of vomit (sorry!).

spidereggs · 19/02/2023 20:39

I'm funny about potatoes.

I can eat them but the slightest lump, grey bit, funny bit, makes me sick.

Couldn't finish a meal.

Also goats cheese and Parmesan. Especially the latter. It tastes of vomit.

Kdub · 19/02/2023 20:40

Quiche! The thought of it makes me feel ill!

iklboo · 19/02/2023 20:40

We used to call Parmesan air-dried sick. Sorry another vomit related answer, op!

jay55 · 19/02/2023 20:41

Due to texture/taste
Sweetcorn
Mash
Olives

Can't do soft veg at all, except sweet potato.

Due to smell

Custard
Porridge
Anything with hot milk.

TribeD · 19/02/2023 20:41

Iceberg Lettuce.

It's the work of the devil, bitter and nasty.

Sparklingbrook · 19/02/2023 20:42

Another vote for goats cheese-it’s like licking a goat.
Camembert the smell when it cook is 🤢
Olives

Tailfeather · 19/02/2023 20:43

Anything tinned, but especially tinned fish and tinned meat. Bleugh. It smells off. You wpuld never eat fish that stinky or fishy if it wasn't timned.

PuppyMonkey · 19/02/2023 20:45

Gravy ruins everything. Everything.🤮

BeBraveAndBeKind · 19/02/2023 20:46

Tiger bread. I like seseme and I like bread I just can't stand them together.

Greenbeans123 · 19/02/2023 20:47

Cheese, yoghurt and tinned hotdogs.
