Things other people eat that you find strange

[ohxmastreeohxmastree]

Inspired by the many threads I’ve seen over the years about foods YOU eat that other people find weird…

What ‘normal’ foods do other people eat that you just can’t get on board with?

For me, it’s pizza and chips. I think it’s such a bizarre combination for a dinner and wouldn’t ever put the two together. Nothing to do with the carb overload (I love garlic bread and lasagne…), I just think they don’t go! DP very much disagrees and says it’s a perfectly normal combo

Jaffa cakes cannot abide them,the springy spongy bit in the middle

Olives

loaded fries all that Gluck.I love chips just not with all that nonsense

Spam

Meat.

Black pudding. Just why?!

Cheese in general. Its greasy and it smells. Do not get the hype.

(It also makes me vomit so I admit I'm biased)

So far I love everything mentioned above 🍕 🍟 😁

I worked with a woman years ago who used to have marmalade and cheese in her toast for breakfast - both together. I don't like marmalade at all but with cheese is just weird to me!

Meat, fish, eggs, ketchup… milk

Mushy peas
Peanut butter
Brazil nuts
Fake meat

I used to work with someone who ate the skins on Kiwi fruit. They are just so bristly and rough. I couldn’t understand how she could do it.

Not a food but gin and tonic. I’m baffled by its popularity because to me tonic tastes exactly like when you got dandelion sap on your fingers as a child and accidentally got some in your mouth. Also can’t understand how people find coffee palatable. My mouth obviously doesn’t like bitter flavours!

I have just realised after commenting on other posts that I have worked with some seriously strange people in my time 😂.

Fake bacon, in fact lots of faux meat, made in factories. If you don't want to eat meat, why pretend? It mostly just tastes weird.
Fake butter spreads. I don't think you get margarine any more, do you? Good. Just nasty.
Chilli. I'm just about forcing myself to eat sweet chilli sauce on something, but can't understand any pleasure in ordinary chilli.
Nuts in chocolate. That's just plain wrong.

Agree! Or lasagna and chips? Dont get it.
also people who ordered chips as well as rice at indian or chinese. Why why why

Peaches, I can’t stand the fuzz in my mouth 🤮.

Spam, mushy peas, peaches. Also conference pears, they're too rough. I could eat them all if someone served them up to me, but wouldn't go out of my way to eat them.

Flavoured chocolate or chocolate with nuts.

I love chocolate. I love strawberries. I love nuts. But I can't bear chocolate with nuts in it or a flavoured taste.

I think I dislike fake meat even more than real.

Olives
Bananas
Rice pudding

This orange chocolate, mint chocolate. What is wrong with er chocolate chocolate.

I grew up on cream cheese and peanut sandwiches in my packed lunches, which literally nobody I mention it to thinks is a good combo...

... But it is...

I was with you on this until 2 years ago I tried these - love them but only these olives

Alcohol/champagne/wine. Tastes vile. I can remember when I flew First Class and they offered me a glass of Krug (quite expensive apparently!) and I had to ask DH to finish it off for me after having one slip. The cabin crew seemed perplexed when I asked for a glass of water instead. Disgusting stuff.

This, revolting.
I don’t think fruit flavour s go with chocolate, don’t like Black Forest gâteau either
