What food can you not stand, that ruins the whole dish?

[SperaT]

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

Another one I can't stand is goat's cheese

I love coffee, but hate anything coffee 'flavoured'

Mustard, butter, mayonnaise, all cheese apart from cheddar, fish or oyster sauce in Asian dishes, raw or under cooked onion, tuna, all mushrooms apart from button, hummus, taramasalata, caviar, pickles of any kind, duck, shell fish.

@sezzer87 Nope. Not at all. I've been like this for 19 years. I’m just fine and functional day to day. I only need one small meal a day.
I have no health problems. I’m just very short and naturally skinny. Healthy long hair, good skin and teeth. Baby face to boot. I think I’m just a lucky bugger.

Lemon 😩

Dill, mace, cinnamon

Bloody peppers!!! Hate the smell of them, and loathe them in any food… they seem to get chucked into so much stuff these days🤮
If I do accidentally eat a bit, they repeat on me for hours.

coriander- tastes like soap.
Apparently it is a gene thing if you like it or hate it.

Parsley.

Star anise 🤢

Thyme

Ocra. It's like mucous.

Fennel, and anything with aniseed 🤮
Chipotle.

I love coriander though - so good!

Raisins. Pine nuts. Maize kernels, bleurgh.

Blue cheese, repellent. Also banana, revolting stuff.

Mushrooms

I also don't like coriander although it doesn't taste of soap to me. It's just bitter!

If I go out for a meal and my dish comes out with onion or vinegar (or any sauce as most contain vinegar) on top or mixed through, the whole thing can get in the bin. Really should mention these things on the menu.

I hate when something I love is repackaged as a “new, improved” recipe. No. You’ve just added onion and ruined it all.

Pepper. Paprika. Anything hot.

Mustard.

Tapioca pearls. Only encountered them for the first time recently, had to look up what the hell this godawful slimy stuff was. Any tapioca dessert they serve us now goes straight in the bin.

Lemongrass. Makes anything taste of washing up liquid.

Ketchup

I haven’t come across spam in 40 years.
where the hell are you eating!?

Pickles in a hamburger.

Cucumber, especially in otherwise perfectly delicious salads /sandwiches /wraps.

You can't even just pick it out because it's flavour just infects everything. Vile stuff.

Another vote for coriander. The minutest particle destroys any dish. It's an evil soapy metal bastard and ought to be outlawed. I've lost count of the amount of restaurant dishes rendered inedible where some eejit has used it as a garnish instead of parsley and failed to mention it on the menu.

Parmesan cheese. Gravy.
