My worst thing is tarragon. It ruins everything on the plate for me.

Spam. You'd think it wouldn't come up that often, but the number of otherwise great Chinese takeaways I've had ruined because the mixed rice dish has been infested with cubes of spam.... I love mixed fried rice with real meat in it, and the menu often says pork when it means spam 😡🤢😡🤮

Cheese. It’s on everything 🤮

Goats Cheese..... 🤮

Pesto, oregano, peppers, onion.
Fucking salad. I’m a vegetarian who very rarely eats vegetables or fruit. Think my body goes into shock if I do Grin
Unless it's pineapple on pizza. I live on cheese pretty much.
And yknow meat or seafood of any kind.
