You know what I don't get?

Minted peas.

Who the fuck decided that peas would be improved by being minty, and why did anyone ever go along with this?

Minty peas. It just doesn't fucking work. It never has. It never will. Ruin a whole panful of perfectly good peas, why don't you.

My doctor suggested I try beetroot juice to help with my high cholesterol, I knew from the smell it wasn't going to be tasty but I downed a glass telling myself it was fine. It wasn't fine, on the plus side though my vomit was a fun colour!

Minty peas ✅

This. Yes. Although I love Jaffa cakes lol
also agree I don’t particularly like parsnips
sweet potatoes can be too sweet too.
and I hate the texture of raspberries

halloumi.. squeaky cheese, no thanks.

anything too over powering is the key for me I think.

I’m with you on chocolate, but not on banana flavour.

Artificial banana is not merely better than real banana, it’s the absolute apex of the food chemist’s contribution to human happiness. No, it’s not natural - it’s completely made up, but then so are art, Barcelona and monogamy.

I suddenly need Nesquik.

I love minty peas! Indeed I make a vegetable medley of peas, tenderstem brocolli and asparagus with mint butter. Divine!

My dentist uses something banana-flavoured so all banana-flavoured things are of course completely ruined for me forever

Oh no. It would take me ages to separate all those back out again, especially with the broccoli leaving its droppings everywhere

@notinscotland

It reminds me of the ads raising money to send impoverished inner city children to summer camp so they can smell a fir tree or see a cow for the first time.

Or indeed vice versa.

Yes I think I knew this too - wasn’t it because the artificial banana flavour we still use today was invented by those enterprising Victorians, and matched the bananas in consumption at the time?

Mind. Blown.

I love lamb with rosemary but this made me laugh out loud!

🙋. I eat it like other people eat oranges (which are rank btw). Bloody love a grapefruit.

The real flavour abomination is sugar with salt. Will you feck off with your salted caramel and hobnobs and sweet'n'salty popcorn and all those other abominations. The flavours are at war with each other in your mouth. How can anyone enjoy that?

Mint ice cream
minty peas
mint chocolate

mint should only be in toothpaste

I also like minted peas, especially with half a pound of butter melted in!

I feel the same about mint chocolate op

I was just about to say something similar. Salted caramel is the work of the devil, salt belongs on my chips, not on my desserts.

Nando’s macho peas. Food of the Gods.

I often think the same about milk....who in their right mind thought "I know let's pull that cow's nipple and drink what comes out.....yum that's tasty". Milk is vile and should only be used in coffee and tea where it cannot be tasted.

I love grapefruit. And pomelo.

But I’m with you on minty peas, OP. Disgusting. Or indeed anything minty.

I also hate fruit or cream with chocolate, especially cherries. Black Forest gateau is probably my least favourite cake ever.

I once accidentally bought minty lube. Do not do this. Further proof, if it were needed, that mint belongs only in toothpaste.

I'm with you on that one.

I stand by my condemnation of grapefruit (yes, even the pink ones) but pomelo is the citrus fruit of the gods.

Laughing at lots of these. I like most of them!

But who decided that we need truffle flavour on things? Yuck. Waitrose have ruined perfectly good chicken Kiev by making it with truffle. A local hotel does a lovely afternoon tea and put truffle in the egg mayonnaise sandwiches. It was all I could taste for ages. Yuck.

Is Aperol the stuff that tastes of an Air wick diffuser?

I won't tell you to try cocktail sausages dipped in honey and mint sauce and cooked for couple minutes..... They are lovely
