Whats NEVER on your list?

[jlox]

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.

Goats cheese

Coriander, cucumber, aubergine, suedes, turnips, prawns.

Wraps, pittas, that kind of thing. I just buy bread and occasionally crumpets.

Fizzy drinks of any sort - nobody likes them.

Fish 🤢
Seafood
Meat
Parsnips
Anything Nestle
Frozen desserts with cream (someone at my school allegedly had food poisoning from one 30 years ago, probably untrue but put me off)

LOVE aubergines though!

Blue cheese (I just can’t)
ready meals (portions way too small)
small snack packets of things ;mostly air what is the point)
crunchy nut flakes (too delicious I’d eat the lot)
dresses crab, fillet of beef, lamb (love jt but outside my budget 🥲)

Anything in the biscuit/sweet/chocolate aisle
Pies
Milk
Ketchup
Cereal

Blotting paper bread in plastic bags
Fruity yoghurts in plastic pots
Pre-made puddings
Frozen meat
Ready meals
Philadelphia - completely pointless as tastes of nothing at all

I buy fresh, cook from scratch and try to avoid anything with excessive plastic packaging.

But actual food groups that I won't buy - tea and brandy (hate the smell).

And no-one in our house likes sweet potato.

Otherwise we'll eat most things.

Yellow apples
Basic tomatoes
Baby corn
Jars of cooking sauce
Ready meals
Margarine
Sweets
Beer
Gin

Skimmed and semi skimmed milk
margarine
No English cheese apart from cheddar
I think that’s it!

Rice cakes
Cottage cheese
Cereal bars
Kefir
The entire pet aisle and baby aisle

Tinned meat or vegetables.
Fascinating read though! Interesting that some of my staples have made some peoples list.

Rhubarb
Anything rhubarb flavoured
Turkey mince
Green beans

Things that shouldn’t be but occasionally are:
Heinz sandwich spread
shippams paste
tinned ham

Same! Definitely more on this list goes in my trolley!

I thought of it when i was shopping today and saw the persons shopping on the belt and i thought maybe 75% of what they had, id never even pause when i walk past it in the shop. Finding it really interesting!

Spam
Processed.meat
Cream cakes
Swede
Alcohol

Interesting thread!
I love olives and peppers and always have them.

Mine would be...
Margarine (bleughh!)
Okra (slimy, stringy, tasteless?)
Macaroni cheese
Pot noodle
Pretty much all processed ham unless freshly cut from a deli
Diet coke (addicted to regular coke though!)
Evaporated milk (tried it for the first time the other day and it was terrible, lol)

Goats cheese 🤢🤢🤢
(and goat's milk for that matter)

Meat
Fish
Cucumber
Beetroot
Margarine
Anything salted caramel
Ready made sponge type cakes.
Anything by Mr Kipling's
Bean sprouts
Walkers crisps - boycotted
Ben & Jerrys - boycotted
Maltesers - boycotted

Red Leicester, sorry @jlox . It's just middle of the road to me.

Skimmed milk (just pointless)
Elmlea "cream"
Fizzy drinks
Febreeze (disgusting smell)

@MalcolmTuckersSwearBox what cheese are you all buying that i dont know about 😂 it felt more exotic than a standard cheddar but theres alot of hate 🥲

Any fake/ replacement meat (quorn, tofu) and fake / replacement dairy ( margarine, plant based butter).
Jars of sauce ( korma sauce), salad dressings/ vinaigrette.
Made up meat dishes ( except expensive sausages ) eg( premarinaded chicken, hamburgers). These come to mind as my DH has bought these things at one point or another and my heart has sunk. I told him he can cook/ eat them himself when I am not there as to me, they taste awful.

Never ever:

Marmite
Fizzy drinks
Cordial
Air fresheners
Margarine
Flavoured yoghurts
Pre-made desserts
Kiwi fruit (am allergic!)
Tinned soup, fruit or potatoes

@jlox I'd buy a standard cheddar a thousand times over a red leicester. But what I like is a vintage cheddar.

If you like it, buy it!

I mostly buy Parmesan, good quality, strong cheddar (the kind that makes your mouth 'sweat'), or a manchego.

Pot noodles
Mustard
Blue cheese
Tinned veg (like peas or carrots)
Energy drinks
Milk shakes
