I have ARFID so my diet is extremely limited anyway, but anyway here are some foods that I get people saying “how can you not like xxx”

I’ll start with

Pizza
Cake
Any cheese stronger than a cheddar

Will probably add to it as the thread goes on Grin

Pizza. I just don't get it.

I would eat ice-cream if others are eating it but never actually want it.

My stepfather had the same issue about the texture of pasta. I feel the same about scallops - weird texture.

oldperson1 · 03/08/2023 17:26

Any type of beans
ketchup
peppers
olives
cream
pizza
Cheesecake
cooked apples
apple sauce/juice
marshmallows

Most alcohol. Only really drink wkd or hooch 😊 all the rest taste disgusting to me.

Christmas pudding and mince pies 🤮

Q2C4 · 03/08/2023 17:27

Eggs. To me they reek of sulphur.

Cucumber.

@ThePoshUns ARFID is avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. It means the person can only manage a restricted range of foods as they cannot bear the taste/smell/texture or many foods.

alargeoneforme · 03/08/2023 17:27

Chips
Sweets

Justleaveitblankthen · 03/08/2023 17:28

Chocolate milk🤢/milk shakes/chocolate ice cream chocolate cake, sweets (too sweet 😂)
Icing, butter cream.

Can I also add a cheeky little Bailey's into this list? Grossest drink in the history of the known world🤮

That’s true @PurpleSky300 but they also think you’re a snotty, lazy cow so it’s not much of a win 😀

Just for not drinking tea or coffee? Nah. Seems weird and extreme.

TenoringBehind · 03/08/2023 17:28

Pulled pork
salt and vinegar crisps
rice pudding (can’t be in the same room as it - the smell!)
porridge
Biscoff anything

Alcohol
Avocado
Olives

TenoringBehind · 03/08/2023 17:29

TheWayoftheLeaf · 03/08/2023 17:29

Caviar, truffle anything, oysters.

Basically all the very expensive disgusting things I'm convinced people pretend to like. Fucking gross.

My 6 year old hates jam. Says it’s too sour! Which means by default, she also hates most birthday cakes that aren’t chocolate. The annoyance in her face when she opens her party bag to find a jam and cream sponge.

DD was like this, she once asked me to get the jam out of a jam donut so she could eat it. It is almost impossible. She recently found that she doesn't mind jam after all, she's 25.

IamAlso4eels · 03/08/2023 17:31

Avocado has the taste and texture of a face-pack and olives are like greasy, oily grapes.

Tilllly · 03/08/2023 17:31

Egg custard

Absolutely gross

Even the sight of it

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 03/08/2023 17:31

There is literally no food I dislike so far🤔

Crikeyalmighty · 03/08/2023 17:32

Apples- don't like the texture

Chip shop.

biscoffy · 03/08/2023 17:33

Most kinds of berries- strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, black berries. It's the seeds.

You wouldn’t catch me even near them. Same to things like offal and black pudding
