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

Orange juice with bits. I don't want to chew my drink.

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

You are obviously taking the piss but it did make me laugh

vinegar on chips
mushy peas

I'm vegetarian & don't eat eggs, so that rules out most ghastly things!

I love bananas, porridge, olives, oranges, avocados.... pretty much everything non meat, fish, seafood, eggs listed here!

live coffee, love chocolate - don't mind chocolate with coffee in it. But can't stand coffee with chocolate on it, in it 🤣🤣

FourJoshes · 19/02/2023 21:40

Bananas and donuts 🤮

Pasta. A relatively recent development. It makes me almost gag. It's a nuisance. No more fast, cheap, filling meals. I also can't stand pesto. I find it too intense.

moggerhanger · 19/02/2023 21:41

Cheesecake. Any kind, they're all revolting. I cannot understand why people love them so much. Years ago I went to a Cheesecake Factory in San Francisco and our server goggled at the fact I wasn't going to eat any!

Raw apples make me gag - purely a texture thing. I'm happy to eat them cooked, pureed, juiced, fermented....

SongforWhoever · 19/02/2023 21:44

Whilst there are foods I dislike, there are two types of drink I cannot tolerate.
Fizzy drinks, including sparkling water, give me indigestion.
Hot milk makes me feel queasy so always have to ask for Americano with cold milk if having coffee when out.
Most people seem to like both these things.

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

Is tiger bread sesame?!? Really?!?! Well that explains why I'm not keen. Is it really sesame?!?!

saltrock123 · 19/02/2023 21:48

Milk
Semolina, bluergh school dinners.
Fatty meat
Egg whites
Tinned hot dogs
Picky about fish with bones, hate finding bones, yuk!

HemlockStarglimmer · 19/02/2023 21:48

Just about everything on the list of forbidden foods I was given when I was pregnant 😁
Bacon is vile. Meat cooked rare is foul. Pork is minging.
Luckily I've been a veggie for many years so now I just need to actively avoid aubergine, goats cheese, raw onion, kale, broccoli and runny eggs.
Picky? Me? Never 😁

MudLady · 19/02/2023 21:48

Processed meat, any type. All vile.
Since I had covid the first time, Any Processed food that has oil in. Or even nuts that aren't fresh. They all taste rancid.
Since bout 2 of covid, any aged cheese. They taste like mould. I can just about cope with cottage cheese or mozzarella.

flutterbyebaby · 19/02/2023 21:49

Any meat that has been minced, horrible texture.
Chocolate, I just don't get it.
Eggs, yuk
Anything battered or breadcrumbed.
Sausages, cheap or expensive, yuk.
Reformed meat
Tinned food
Margarine or spreads
Too many to mention

HemlockStarglimmer · 19/02/2023 21:50

Oh and tinned peas and frozen strawberries

Really not!!! I genuinely don’t like them Grin

HeadNorth · 19/02/2023 21:52

Any milky puddings - cold custard, blacmange, rice pudding, custard tart, custard slice - sadly my DH loves them.

AtleastitsnotMonday · 19/02/2023 21:56

The foods that I can't stand but everyone seems to want to convince me I must like are lamb, coffee and any sort of alcohol. All alcohol tastes exactly the same to me. I can only taste the alcohol and I don't like it.

I'll happily eat your warm tuna though!

Tilllly · 19/02/2023 21:58

Egg custard

It's the work of the devil

Absolutely vile

I'd rather eat a rotting corpse

Have been known to gag in the street when seeing one unexpectedly
(In a bakery window, not randomly sitting on a bench or popping into M&S)

exhaustedbeans · 19/02/2023 21:59

Stew weirdly - reminds me of the dregs of the washing up bowl for some reason! It makes me feel queasy. Envy
Chicken Kievs
Goats cheese
Prawn mayo anything

Porridge. The very smell makes me retch

Ooh I love porridge and have it everyday.
