I love liquorice. I don’t know anyone else who likes this!

Sorry but who doesn’t like goat’s cheese????? 🤪

Plenty of people. It tastes exactly how you'd imagine licking a goat would be while simultaneously tasting of vomit.

IHateWasps · 09/09/2023 13:29

I love Turkish delight, coffee creams and anything flavoured with violet and rose.

Hate liquorice, but pretty much love all the other 'hated' stuff - sprouts, haggis, faggots, cabbage, olives, gherkins, anything pickled pretty much (eggs YUM), pork scratchings, sparkling water, tongue etc etc. Very few things i don't enjoy these days. Aniseed is pretty much it!

Oooh, pickled eggs 🤤

Also love sparkling water which seems to
make other people wince.

Hate goats cheese. Smells of goats and farms 🤢😦
Love mashed swede and Brussels sprouts.
Pineapple on pizza.

I was coming on to say that. I can’t open a packet without eating the lot. I find it a bonus nobody else at home likes it as I know if I buy it it doesn’t go missing.

dotdotdot3 · 09/09/2023 13:33

Anchovies
Cabbage (every kind...braised, pickled, steamed, boiled)
Goats cheese

BooksAndHooks · 09/09/2023 13:35

Same these are my top tier always gifted these at Christmas.

NashvilleQueen · 09/09/2023 13:39

Goats cheese is an abomination

DiDonk · 09/09/2023 13:43

I had a kipper for lunch, yum.

This thread, plus the one about what foods you dislike makes me feel left out as I like all the things on this one, plus all the things on the hate thread.

whatausername · 09/09/2023 13:46

Chicken feet! They're really tasty.

Oysters - they're more Marmite than widely hated though.

SophiaElise · 09/09/2023 13:50

Can't stand goats cheese but I like liver, sprouts, peas, celery, mushrooms and cabbage - didn't realise they were unpopular foods!

Ladyoftheknight · 09/09/2023 13:51

The strawberry and orange quality streets
Black coffee is always controversial
Squid

BarelyLiterate · 09/09/2023 13:53

I love haggis, and I’m not even Scottish. Served with mashed swede, potatoes & whisky sauce. 😋

Athena51 · 09/09/2023 14:00

I love squid, anchovies, olives, black pudding, tongue, goat's cheese, sprouts and cabbage in all its forms. Taramasalata is one of my favourite foods. I obviously like strong tastes.

@IHateWasps I am with you, I love rose flavoured stuff and my top Christmas treat is high quality dark chocolate rose and violet creams.

Liquorice is the food of the devil though, along with mint flavoured stuff, especially mint chocolate.

Salted liquorice, Dutch ‘drop’

SnapBang · 09/09/2023 14:02

Wow I’m shocked at so much hatred for goat’s cheese!! It’s something we use a lot when we host dinner parties because it’s always a crowd pleaser with our friends, pretty universal.

Also… black coffee?????? The whole of my workplace drinks this every single morning. Hardly unusual surely?!

I became a cabbage convert after having lunch in a restaurant in Derby that cooked it perfectly so it was crisp and green. It banished the school dinner nightmares for good and all.

AgnesX · 09/09/2023 14:05

Asparagus, broccoli, liver.

I'll try most things once especially if they're cooked by a good cook.

I always think it tastes a bit like Philadelphia or any cream cheese. I had a lovely goats cheese in America but couldn’t get quite the same here.

I know it’s a big no-no but I like bacon fat 🫣

Iwontbecomeher · 09/09/2023 14:10

Yep me too, all those flavours in boxes of chocolates that most others swerve. Also love turkish delight, esp the stuff with dessicated coconut on it, plus floral gums.

Vampire Disgust GIF by Olivia Rodrigo

That was to @IHateWasps love all the fruity crème centres. But chocolate with nuts, bleugh.

Mrsjayy · 09/09/2023 14:12

I like Black pudding and haggis. I love parmaviolets and violet creams oh and Brussels are not just for Christmas.

SnapBang · 09/09/2023 14:14

Is anyone going to come on and say they enjoy a Bounty? I’ve always wondered who eats them. Someone MUST be buying them but I can’t recall ever knowing anyone who likes them. They are truly foul.
