What popular foods do you dislike that leave people baffled when you say you don’t like it?

[Soubriquet]

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

Champagne/Prosecco and similar.
Bleurgh, it taste like fizzy vinegar and gives me heartburn.

Ha, I love all those things!

Sticky Toffee Pudding. Hate it! I also hate any toffee-type ice cream. The heart sinks when I look at the dessert menu and all they have is variations of the above. Salted Caramel is the latest evil incarnation of it. Toffee and caramel desserts are all vile to me.

Pineapple ,celery and any coffee tasting cake .

Hey there soul sister! It's the texture for me. If it's a gooey squidgy brownie, or something more like a loaf then great. But everything else especially if it has cream is a big no from me.

Most of these I'm not shocked at, but chocolate, cake and bread!!! 😦

For me it is alcohol, tea, coffee, meat and fish. And bakewell tart

Chocolate ice cream / chocolate milk

Sausages. I can't stand the taste of sausage meat.

Tea - it smells appalling.

And curry - over-spiced to stop you tasting whatever ingredients are hidden in the yellow gloop. And not a fresh veggie in sight. Yukk.

Anything with coriander or more than a hint of chilli, so that's many Indian and
Mexican meals out!

I have no allergies/ND etc and will generally eat anything and everything (eg if served as a meal at a friend’s house) but wouldn’t choose to eat:

Pizza
Margarine (anything that’s not butter)
Chocolate flavour things - cake/ice cream etc (but love actual chocolate)
Tabbouleh (just too much parsley for me)
Fish and chips (unless absolutely excellent top notch quality

and raw celery yes yukkk

Mint. The herb itself, any sort of mint sweet and all mint flavourings.

Not so much a dislike as a full-on phobia.

Spaghetti,avocado,rice and mushrooms 🤢

Any alcohol, I’ve never found an alcoholic drink I like the taste of.
Chocolate.
Ice cream.
Fizzy drinks.
Coffee.

Chocolate cake or brownies 🤢🤢🤢

Baked beans or any kind of tinned spaghetti.
Beer/lager
Raw tomatoes
Millionaires shortbread (way too sweet for me, and I have a sweet tooth! Shortbread unadulterated is delicious)
Eggs unless scrambled or an omelette

Anything else I can pretty much force down even if not a fan.

Chicken burgers. Dry chicken in dry coating in dry bread. Burgers are supposed to be juicy which is why we make them with beef 😁

Omg I have found my people!

Steak

I am the least fussy person I know when it comes to food, but I cannot ABIDE egg yolk, even though I like eggs.

A soft-boiled or poached egg, or a fried egg with a runny yolk makes me gag (although I take it elsewhere, I do have some manners).

I sometimes wish I could get over this, because the likes of Eggs Benedict looks delicious, but unfortunately I'm 44 now and I think that particular ship has sailed.

Rice pudding looks like maggots swimming in cum, and tastes worse, it's revolting.

@TastesLikeStrawberriesOnASummerEvening , have you tasted both?

Beer, there's a woman in our circle of friends who's 'not like other girls' who loves beer and can't understand me hating it. It tastes like wet bread!

Any dishes with cumin in- chili, curries etc. It tastes like the smell of BO. Onions too.

Strong cheese for me too, i manage mild cheddar from supermarkets, mozzarella and soft cheese but nothing else. Strong cheese tastes like sick!

Weirdly, carrots too. I tasted a slightly off one once and have been put off since.

I like a fried egg white but not the yolk. I tend to give the yolk to ds who loves em.

I don’t like chocolate flavoured things either so no hot chocolate, chocolate milk, chocolate ice cream etc but I do like ordinary milk chocolate. Not any of this caramel crap though.

Brownies and pastries come under cake for me so are included in the I don’t like them
