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

Truffle. Mainly truffle oil. It’s fucking revolting.

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 02/02/2024 18:44

I don't like rice pudding, crème caramel or beetroot either .
Or goat's cheese .

BTW, my dislike of mushy peas was established at primary school, along with that of beetroot and lumpy, green, retch-inducing instant mashed potato.

Turned up at mil house once to drop something off and she was just serving up their meal ( they eat their main meal midday.
It was belly pork , boiled so it was white and glutinous , big whole white potatoes boiled , and white cabbage . Basically a white dinner . I was glad I wasn't staying.

In fact I've been with dh 20 years and we've never had a cooked meal at hers , dh point blank refuses as he says he still has nightmare memories of his mum's cooking .

Eggs Benedict or anything involving runny egg yolk. I can’t even eat it to be polite.

lorien9 · 02/02/2024 23:09

Starter: rotten shark (Icelandic style) with cottage cheese on the side

Main: roasted squirrel (no sauce), baked beans and (over) boiled spouts

Dessert: vanilla ice cream with custard

To drink: alcohol free wine

(For some reason, I have eaten all of the above, thank goodness not all together)

My absolute food hell would be undercooked, runny, cold scrambled eggs with mushrooms mixed through, served with a glass of milk and followed by rice pudding. I'd rather lick the pavement.

Offal and cold mashed potato also turn my stomach but they're not on the same level as cold/undercooked eggs, mushrooms or milk.

IwishIdidntlikesugar · 03/02/2024 04:27

Minestrone soup
kidneys
lambs liver

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

Belly pork is the best. 😋

Aubergine would ruin any meal

FedUpMumof10YO · 03/02/2024 06:29

Baked beans
Cottage pie
Casserole
Any animal organs - liver etc
Gravy
Soup
Brussel sprouts

FedUpMumof10YO · 03/02/2024 06:30

Tuna out of a tin
Pretty much anything out of a tin

Northernsouloldies · 03/02/2024 06:31

Anything in gelatine
Sweetcorn.. Devil's vegetable.
Tapioca.. Devil's pudding.

MammaTo · 03/02/2024 08:19

Boiled new potatos, just plain boiled new potatos

Northernsouloldies · 03/02/2024 08:22

I hated the texture of the skin as a kid.
