Whats NEVER on your list?

When you do a food shop, what food(s) would never ever make it to your trolley?

I have never and will never buy bell peppers, just the smell makes me heave and they have no place in any of my dinners. Pineapple too.

Things i automatically pick up without having to think.. olives, spinach and red leicester cheese.

I grow all my own herbs, except coriander. It's the devil's spawn and has no place near any dish...or trolley.

Cheese even typing it makes me feel ill but not as much as the vomit inducing McDonald's ad with cheese on the paper 🤮

TinkerTiger · 14/05/2024 12:17

Aubergine and courgette, I don't eat them.

Same to Marmite, I've never tried it and never plan to.

Lamb, can't bear it.

Pork chops. Don't mind pork, just don't care for pork chops specifically.

Sardines 🤢

Meat
Microwave meals
That boxed cheesy pasta stuff
Tinned peas

PTSDBarbiegirl · 14/05/2024 12:19

Tinned 'complete meal' all day breakfast, beef stroganoff etc. Can't believe it's still sold eek!
I have no place for apples, pomegranate, bags of sugar or crisps, turnip, celeriac, pork, cod or anything breaded.

jlox · 14/05/2024 12:19

Not loving the coriander or cheese slander 😱😱 always in my fridge!

Coriander, the leaves not the seeds, the seeds are fine. I've become (maybe always was) allergic to wheat, so lots of lovely things are now ruled out. I don't really like oily fish, so mackerel etc are off the list unless smoked, and I have never been even slightly tempted by tripe.

I have also quite unaccountably gone off asparagus, always a treat until now. I've just thrown out half a bunch because I couldn't face eating it. Very odd, and I hope I get over it.
