For me, liver (or any offal) and mushy peas. In fact, mushy peas would ruin any food for me. Eww.

I’ll have your mushy peas. I’d hate anything with celery or fatty meat. Belly pork is my nightmare.

Britpopbaby · 31/01/2024 20:09

Mushy peas
sushi
tripe
soggy toast with beans or scrambled egg. Yuk to soggy toast.

Oh belly pork...bought it once out of curiosity. So disgusting.

PuttingDownRoots · 31/01/2024 20:11

Kippers... its the smell.
Followed by profiteroles or éclairs. I have a complete aversion for the texture of choux pastry.

Justcallmebebes · 31/01/2024 20:12

Not much cos I eat pretty much anything apart from offal, raw onions and parsley

Justcallmebebes · 31/01/2024 20:12

Oh and mushy peas are pretty gross although I love garden peas

MardyBra · 31/01/2024 20:12

Why the light-hearted warning? Confused

DressDilemma · 31/01/2024 20:12

Anything meat based
Bland cheese based dishes
Ice cream

Hotcuppatea · 31/01/2024 20:13

Anything with 'interesting' or wild mushrooms. Too slimey 🤢

MardyBra · 31/01/2024 20:13

FWIW, anything involving tripe and blue cheese.

Northernsouloldies · 31/01/2024 20:13

Boiled cabbage ala school dinner style
Butter beans as above..... Bleurgh

SiobhanSharpe · 31/01/2024 20:13

Overdone dry and tough roast beef, with leathery roast potatoes, tasteless floury gravy and soggy veg.

Comedycook · 31/01/2024 20:14

Too much gravy

User2292994 · 31/01/2024 20:15

Shellfish with eyes. Or any fish with eyes. Or skin.

ForeverYellow · 31/01/2024 20:16

A plate of oysters
octopus or squid
fatty or rare meat or meat on the bone
cream of chicken soup
tripe
( love liver and mushy peas ! )

SquigglePigs · 31/01/2024 20:16

I'm pretty fussy (autistic) so I could probably give you a fairly long list but the short answer would be anything with mustard or horseradish in it!

Interestingly I'd happily eat several of the things mentioned so far - mushy peas, kippers, offal etc.

Roaminginthegloaming · 31/01/2024 20:17

Octopus
Tripe
Rabbit (I love bunnies)
Heart
Brains (including brawn)

RabbitsRock · 31/01/2024 20:17

I love eggs but can’t bear anything with whole egg in it - even thinking about it makes me feel quite sick. DM used to make a weird thing with fennel & breadcrumbs that had hardboiled eggs in a sauce & I had to leave it every time.

JamAtTwo · 31/01/2024 20:17

Mushy peas ❤️

in fact I like food so much I’m struggling to come up with my worst meal.

Ham salad - I don’t know just is.

cheap grisly pork sausages - spoils every fry up!

fish sushi

tough steak - what’s the point?

followed by Black Forest gateau- sickly is not the word and I have a sweet tooth!

RabbitsRock · 31/01/2024 20:17

Oh & absolutely rabbit!!

2Old2Tango · 31/01/2024 20:19

Cooked fruit such as rhubarb or prunes. I remember being forced to eat these at school and have hated them ever since.

HoweverWeare · 31/01/2024 20:19

Escargot
Tripe
Haggis
gristle in meat

BangaloreLulu · 31/01/2024 20:19

Macaroni cheese.

Just gross. And I say that as a pasta lover. A straight cheese sauce belongs on cauliflower or broccoli and nowhere else.

ABiscuitSinner · 31/01/2024 20:20

Sushi. Anything with gristle.

wineandmaltesers · 31/01/2024 20:20

Prawn cocktail starter followed by Mushrooms with lamb, liver and kidney followed by rhubarb crumble
