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

I love Bounty bars.

Iwontbecomeher · 09/09/2023 14:15

Also I know no one else in the house will touch them no matter how desperate they may be for a chocolate fix 🤣

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 09/09/2023 14:15

Sprouts and cabbage.

Do people hate parma violets? They seem like an odd thing to really dislike! I really like them, and I'm not much of a fan of sweets. My dear departed grandmother's favourite chocolates were violet creams!

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.

I LOVE a bounty! One of my all time favourite chocolate bars!

I like them. As well as goats cheese and pineapple on pizza

Oh I love a bounty of dark or milk chocolate. Beautiful 😁

🙋‍♀️

Just thinking of things some of my family dislike, but which I love:
Oysters, fennel, anchovies, Swede, liver and coriander.
(But Parma Violets are the work of the devil!)

ElleDeeCB · 09/09/2023 14:23

I like
sprouts
marzipan
bounty bars
very dark chocolate eg 90%

DaisyWaldron · 09/09/2023 14:25

I don't like offal or shellfish or pineapple on pizza, but I do like licorice, cottage cheese, goats' cheese (and the smell of goats) capers, sardines, bounty bars and Parma violets.

I'm neutral on Turkish delight and raw celery, but like cooked celery.

I love tiny acidic crisp French cornichons, but don't really like other gherkins.

I only like the citrus flavoured wine gums and am not keen on the red and black ones, and most people are the other way around, so we tend to swap.

StanleyGoodspeed · 09/09/2023 14:25

Faggotts
Sprouts
Mushrooms
Porridge
Bread and butter pudding

Tomhanksismine · 09/09/2023 14:25

Pickled herring, absolutely delicious! Oh and anchovies!

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

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

I hate goats cheese, if she was the other thread on here it's a really common dislike.

I love a Bounty! I always forget they're unpopular as they're a crowd pleaser in my house.

IHateWasps · 09/09/2023 15:15

I love Bounties!

saltrock123 · 09/09/2023 15:20

Coriander
Marmite
Anchovies
Taramasalata

HerVagestyTheQueef · 09/09/2023 15:21

Loads of lovely food here!
Bounty, anchovies, goat's cheese, sprouts, cabbage, pickled eggs, porridge, marzipan... yum!

HRTQueen · 09/09/2023 15:22

Pineapple on pizza (I remove the ham)

mushy peas

just cooked scrambled egg it’s really creamy but for most undercooked

yes goats cheese does taste like goats smell. I didn’t mind goats cheese until my brother mentioned this I haven’t eaten it since

cheapskatemum · 09/09/2023 15:22

Ladyoftheknight · 09/09/2023 13:51

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

Me too!

Also kidneys, goats' cheese (those saying it's like licking a goat etc should try gjetost), licorice - especially licorice tea, which I can hardly ever find.

HRTQueen · 09/09/2023 15:24

I love a bounty but only the blue ones

the lime opal fruits were my favourite most disliked them

I love lime milkshake

Ever tried liquorice ice cream? It's amazing!

BodGaoithe · 09/09/2023 15:29

I love haggis so much. I was just in Edinburgh for a week and ate some form of haggis or black pudding for every meal. We even had deep fried haggis, black pudding and white pudding from the chipper. Amazing.

I also love liquorice, especially the salty kind you get in Scandinavia.

I usually do Keto though, so
I don’t get to eat haggis and liquorice as much as I’d like. Thankfully I also love sprouts, cabbage and broccoli; if I didn’t being low carb would be very hard!

IHateWasps · 09/09/2023 15:32

I've tried gjetost and hated it. At first it's like eating fudge then that awful sour cheesy flavour hits you.

Mugaloaf · 09/09/2023 15:39

I also hate chocolate and nuts @Iwontbecomeher

Mugaloaf · 09/09/2023 15:43

@SnapBang I used to LOVE Bounty bars, but I hate them now. Way too sweet...
