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

Can I say trifle? It’s obviously a dessert but for me it’s gross. 🤢🤮

HowDoTheyGetThroughLife · 31/01/2024 23:06

Any offal
any pork dish
prawns

New2024 · 31/01/2024 23:15

Any recipe that a person or restaurant thinks randomly needs mustard. I’m allergic and it pops up in the oddest places - shepherds pie, cheese and pickle sandwiches

Escargot
tripe
liver
mussels
cockles
lobster
Octopus
squid
kebabs
kidneys

As above, but I can handle a nice kebab. Skewered and grilled, not that big spit roast thing.

I love mushy peas!

Celery - just no.
Oh - sweet potato and parsnips - no, no, no
Not a fan of pork in any form other than bacon.
Fat still on the meat.

I want mushy peas now! 🤣

DeForced · 31/01/2024 23:23

Anything involving seafood or ‘real’ fish ( not chip shop fish or fish fingers). Can’t bear the sight of trout, eel, octopus etc😱
Snails or insect type things.
Green beans… it’s the little hairs on them!!
Unusual meats like rabbit, duck, venison, veal, goat etc
Honey makes me retch
Cant bear the smell of brown sugar or caramel, toffee pudding.

You may!

Yup, add me to the trifle gang. Cold custard? Fruit in jelly? No.

See also Black Forest Gateau

And most pastries - Danish etc. Anything with currants or raisins in.
Big no to Christmas cake/pudding/mince pies. Boak.

Forgot to say, I feed my German Shepherd tuna, sardines and tinned oily fish a few times a week… it’s like an operation with me wearing rubber gloves and trying to keep my eyes shut while mixing the horrible stuff with her biscuits!
I must love her… the smell is just🤮

Jakadaal · 31/01/2024 23:28

Liver or tuna steak - ironically I love fish but the texture of tuna steak is Confused

Xtraincome · 31/01/2024 23:29
  • Trifle, as in traditional English one- sponge, jelly, blancmange, fruit cocktail 🤢 all layered up!
  • potted shrimp

As I have got older, there is less food I enjoy as I once did, but those two are just so unappetising.

@themusingsofaninsomniac

absolutely with you on a lot of stuff on your list - but Lemon drizzle cake???? 😳 noooo!!!!!

TheChosenTwo · 31/01/2024 23:44

Starter: pate/bread or anything pesto 😭
Main:spaghetti alla vongolese 🤮
Dessert: trifle 💀

pasteloblong · 01/02/2024 00:08

Paella. It's just gloopy, sloppy weird rice. Rice should be light and fluffy.

KohlaParasaurus · 01/02/2024 00:15

Quiche, especially cold. Frankfurter quiche for extra squidgy ick.

(I love okra and black pudding.)

girlfriend44 · 01/02/2024 00:19

Goats Cheese

MrsHughesPinny · 01/02/2024 00:21

Ceviche. Fish and onions are my two most hated items. Both raw and mixed up cold in a bowl…the horrors!

TempleOfBloom · 01/02/2024 00:23

A 27 course tasting menu consisting of waiters bringing tiny portions of (typically) offal, beetroot, goats cheese (lose extra points for ‘whipped goat cheese foam), Jerusalem artichokes, ‘gel of formerly perfectly good food’, and so on.

Disneydatknee88 · 01/02/2024 00:23

Any kind of fish or offal. Gross. Other than that I'm not too picky

DreamingInPhosphorescence · 01/02/2024 00:35

Chunky vegetable soup, it’s a combination of the texture and the school dinner flavour.
Lamb, in any shape or form. Even the smell of it cooking makes me feel ill.

Itslookinglikeabeautifulday · 01/02/2024 00:56

Anchovies, broad beans and offal followed by tinned peach slices with custard.🤢 Makes me queasy just writing that.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 01/02/2024 02:12

Bok Choi or any other Chinese leafy stuff. Why fuck up a stir fry by adding that to it?

Sauerkraut, kimchi or any other rotten cabbage mechanism <retches>

MrsAvocet · 01/02/2024 02:48

Anything that involves mayonnaise, salad cream, ketchup, salad dressing tartar sauce or any other similar disgusting slimey stuff. Or vinegar. Or gravy.
And hotdogs.
Actually hotdogs with slimey condiments of any nature is probably the most disgusting meal on the planet.
I'm also verging on phobic about prawn cocktail crisps but I don't think they count as a meal. I'll be making them and other stinky snacks illegal when I rule the world.

I just have a real aversion to lemon flavoured stuff, it's so sharp that all the nice stuff is taken away! I am fine with lime or orange but put lemon in a cake, and you may as well have put petrol or bleach in it to me 😅

I understand it's a controversial one though, the entire world seems to love it!

maryhadalittlegoat · 01/02/2024 08:51

Nannyfannybanny · 01/02/2024 08:57

Anything with meat, including "fake" meat. People think because I don't eat meat, I want veggie sausages,to me they have the texture and taste of meat!
