Ingredients you only like in one form

[BeardySchnauzer]

So I really hate fresh ginger in drinks/food but I absolutely love gingerbread and ginger nuts

I love aniseed balls but detest Ricard

love a piece of fresh coconut and dishes with coconut cream but anything else like sweets or cake with coconut I can’t bear

What do you love/hate?

(I’m not counting things like banana flavoured things because that doesn’t taste like banana as we know it)

I love fresh cherries but dislike cherries in any other form.

That's a good point. Love a cup of coffee, can't stand coffee cake, tiramisu or anything similar.

I like coffee, the coffee flavour/ tiramisu/ coffee revels

Urgh I have no idea what a coddled egg is but it sounds foul! I'm scared to Google it 😂

Are you me?!

Tomatoes - love them chopped up in a sandwich or salad.

Hate in a pasta sauce on its own and absolutely no tomato soup 🤢

But will eat in a lasagna, spaghetti Bolognese etc

I only like eggs in baking.

Eggs in cakes are fine. I am working on tolerating omelette so long as there are loads of things in it and sauce to mask the taste. Wish I liked eggs as they are so good for you.

I didn't see this before my post!

Chocolate. I love a bar of chocolate, but HATE anything Chocolate flavoured. So choc cake, milkshakes, ice cream etc can all get in the bin!! Don't mind a hot Chocolate drink, as long as it's not too chocolate-y.

Jam on scones or a Victoria sponge fine , jam on bread & even on toast or crumpets , not fine !
Even as a child jam sandwiches was the food of the devil .

Pasta is good when it's hot.

But cold pasta is slimy and horrible.

Same with rice - good hot, not great in cold rice salad or sushi.

I like all the fruits in a fruit salad separately.

chop em up small and bung them
in a bowl? Nope, nope and a third hard nope.

it becomes a slimy roulette of mixed textures and colours. Add cream and I’m heaving 🤢 especially when there are stringy strands of juice in worming through the cream 🤮

I LOVE eggs in all forms except omelette. It makes me heave 🤢

I like coffee, but I can’t stand coffee flavoured anything. Cake, ice cream, sweets, whatever. 🤮

Love fresh cherries, but glacé cherries are utterly disgusting.

I love marmite but cannot bear Twiglets

I used to hate marzipan, but then I started making my own and it’s much better.

Ha! Me too. Although have only discovered this recently. A couple of years ago I’d have said I don’t like almonds. But what I really mean is I don’t like marzipan. I’ve missed out on 50 years of almond deliciousness! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ditto. There’s something very wrong about baked cheese on scones and also bread

I only like cooked blueberries (in porridge, muffins etc).

In a reverse to some of you, I cannot drink coffee but love the smell and will happily eat coffee cake or coffee chocolates.

I hate dried fruit like raisins and sultanas. I also hate fruit cake and will happily pick them out of desserts like crumbles......but I LOVE mince pies! I have no explanation for this other than it's the magic of Christmas🌲

Love coffee but hate coffee flavoured food

Me too! I think tuna steaks taste of cardboard. I love pate but not liver, salmon in fish cakes and fish pie but not salmon steaks or smoked salmon and glacé cherries and cherry flavoured things but not cherries.

Love cauliflower cheese but hate steamed cauliflower plain with eg gravy just as veg.
Hate mayo but can cope with it as tuna or egg mayo in a sandwich. Same with ketchup- hate it but OK on a Maccies burger!

Strawberries - fresh, absolutely. Cooked, hell no! Jam, not a chance, ice cream, nope.

Cherries, it's the opposite, love them cooked, in jam and cherry flavoured things but can't stand fresh cherries!
