I'm not referring to obvious foods such as ice cream or popular top brand processed stuff.
I mean those foods that people often rave about as being particularly special.

I will add truffle and truffle oil to this list, oysters, salmon and veiny cheese can join the mix too Grin

Chocolate, claggy yuk
Bananas, slimy
Oysters, snot
Wine, just don't get it
Yoghurt, bitter

JamSandle · 28/11/2023 19:11

Baked beans, coffee and bacon.

GassyGirl · 28/11/2023 19:12

Lamb
Red wine in food
Cheese
Yoghurt
Milk
Any food I deem 'kid food', like cheese strings, lunchables, quavers, skips, babybels.

BBQ sauce….and it’s on everything, everywhere now! 🤢 if someone at home has eaten it then their plate is not allowed in the dishwasher, it has to be washed by hand as I can’t stomach opening the dishwasher and smelling it 😫

Oh and brioche buns. Everywhere. Usually with something covered in bbq sauce inside!
Why does everything have to be sweet??? 🤷‍♀️

Bassetlover · 28/11/2023 19:13

Salted caramel!

I can't believe all the houmous hate 😱

I like most of the veggie stuff mentioned apart from bloody avocado. I've tried and tried and tried to get on board but they have far too many calories for something so bland and horrible. Wish it was wasn't whacked in every vegetarian salad and sandwich.

Love olives. Love houmous. Love peppers and sweetcorn. Love baked beans

I struggle with mushrooms these days. I used to like them but now they turn my stomach if they're remotely soggy.

Kale. Had a kale salad recently and I'm not convinced anyone should be eating it raw. Tough as old boots!

JamSandle · 28/11/2023 19:17

Also agree with lamb, mushrooms and BBQ sauce.

OldTinHat · 28/11/2023 19:19

Beef 🤮

Jk987 · 28/11/2023 19:20

Pickle. Anything pickled.

Meowandthen · 28/11/2023 19:21

Peas - they smell weird and taste wrong
Mine pies - if they are so great why don’t people eat them or anything similar year round?

I adore blue cheese, goats cheese, truffles, olives and kimchi.

Mozzarella- no taste. Completely pointless imo (unless melted on pizza)
Cake of any kind
Cream
Blue cheese
Coffee

TurquoiseHexagonSun · 28/11/2023 19:26

Tea and coffee. I genuinely think if I was forced to drink a cup of tea I'd be sick. My tastebuds just cannot make sense of it at all.
Cream. What's the big deal?
Seafood <barf>
Mulled wine. Always seems to be really crap quality wine because people don't want to heat up the good stuff.
White chocolate.
Beer and lager. Of any kind.
I also find Sunday roasts a bit overrated, especially carveries aka overcooked veg, congealed gravy and mash as well as roast spuds for some unknown reason. It's just way too much food.

I know, I know... I sound 12. 😄

I think you're eating the wrong kind of mozzarella! A good, fresh one is delicious.

RedRosie · 28/11/2023 19:27

@Torganer Yorkshire Pudding? 😱
Heathen!

Zamzamzamdeedah · 28/11/2023 19:29

Just want to say that homemade creme caramel has totally different texture to the onea in pots. I feel like it is having reputation ruined by mass produced versions🙈

Whattodo112222 · 28/11/2023 19:33

Mushrooms
Coriander
Green peppers
Any kind of blue cheese
Goats cheese
Any kind of savoury jam like chilli or onion jam.
Lamb
Gammon
Pork chops
Corned beef
Cows milk
Cloves
Star anise

They all make me vom

Squirrelsbite · 28/11/2023 19:38

Prawns - little rubbery fishy 🤮

lyingonthebeach · 28/11/2023 19:40

ketchup
baked beans
brown sauce
salad cream
instant coffee
Anything from McDonalds
Sushi (not exactly horrid but soooo overrated)

Teebles007 · 28/11/2023 19:40

Beetroot
Pickled anything
Salt& vinegar crisps
Prawn crackers
Aubergine
Beer

Hummus. I don't even know what you're supposed to do with it. It looks like sick or baby food.

I agree. The rest of my family love it for dipping carrot and cucumber sticks in.

delix · 28/11/2023 19:49

Mashed potato. Anything cooked in a tagine. Anything with rhubarb

caringcarer · 28/11/2023 19:49

I don't like chocolate cake. I get disappointed deep inside if my children choose chocolate cake for their birthday cakes. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but do enjoy a small slice of a Victoria sandwich or Madera cake especially if it's home made.

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 28/11/2023 19:49

Goats cheese is absolutely vile and has made me sick in the past.

Giggorata · 28/11/2023 19:52

Anything from a goat
unpasteurised cows' milk
chilli
BBQ
Most beef/steak
popcorn

DiaNaranja · 28/11/2023 19:53

Guacamole/avocado... It tastes how freshly cut grass smells.
