Garlic - hate it.
Meat - all of it
Not keen on pasta really, but will eat it.
Mayonnaise
Rice pudding - school meal horrors!
M&S sandwiches
Olives

Right I have a list as long as your arm:

Spam, tripe, offal, black pudding, blood sausage, beetroot, smelly fish, paprika, chillies, Tatar sauce, Frey Bentos pies, Guacamole, Rustlers Burgers, anchovies. I am sure there are more, but can't think of any right now.

Sushi

I love sashimi but not keen on the sticky rice

Though have had much more varied sushi in the states and Australia than you get here I still can't get that excited about it

God, I really am the least fussy person ever. I will eat almost anything so I've really struggled trying to think of anything. The following things are ones I don't really enjoy, but to be honest I probably would eat anyway if put in front of me.

Banana (although I like banana flavoured things, cake, ice cream for eg)
Lettuce
Cucumber
Dark chocolate
Christmas cake/pudding

I've never tried tripe and have no desire to as it looks rank, but I would try almost anything else I think.

FurryDogMother · 23/11/2015 20:47

Jellied eels
Coleslaw
Gherkins

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 23/11/2015 20:51

I can not even look at rice pudding without heaving we don't have it in the house ds loves eat but has to eat it elsewhere

Porridge - vile I can just about make it

Steak and kidney pie

Most food served up at dim sum restaurants especially the dumplings (yes even at the places where it is apparently fantastic I still don't like it)

Cheesecake

Andrewofgg · 23/11/2015 20:52

It's a bit like the dog offered in the local newspaper:

Eats anything - loves children

Aeroflotgirl We are cyber-siblings - I loathe what you loathe!

wtfisgoingonhere · 23/11/2015 20:54

I'll eat bananas but am very picky about how ripe they should/should be
Anything coffee or mint flavoured (especially mint chocolate which in the run up to Christmas is EVERYWHERE ) although I LOVE the smell of coffee

Lamb
Tinned tuna (though like a pp I don't mind a Tuna steak)
Roast beef
Nuts, any nuts (though have been known to tolerate pistachios)
Marzipan
Fruit cake /mince pies/christmas pudding, dried fruit in general
Fig rolls (boak)
Peanuts or peanut butter - it stinks
Twiglets - exboss used to munch them all day. Eww the smell turns my stomach, and porridge, she ate that at her desk too

CoraBeth · 23/11/2015 20:55

Honey
Goats cheese
Sheeps cheese.
Uncooked tomato
Buttery things, like vegetables floating in it.
Vegemite
Lamb mince (recent problem)
Dried papaya in granola
Sultanas anywhere

This is quite interesting. I thought l liked most stuff.

OhSoggyBiscuit · 23/11/2015 20:57

Olives, oysters/mussels (the idea of having to prise it from a shell makes me shudder)

CoraBeth · 23/11/2015 20:59

Something else.

Chicken strips in breadcrumbs/ cous cous

I made the mistake of sifting through this dish (trying to retrieve the chicken) l realised it was just like doing the cats tray.

So... after that day - the meal is off the menu!

Rinceoir · 23/11/2015 21:01

Mushrooms. Halloumi. Marmite.

Bumbledumb · 23/11/2015 21:26

You are all mad. Everyone is listing foods that I love. I grew up thinking that parmesan smelled of vomit, but that was when it only came in a small cardboard tube. Parmesan should only be eaten cut, shaved or grated fresh from a block of the stuff.

Iwasbornin1993 · 23/11/2015 21:45

Coriander

thatsn0tmyname · 23/11/2015 21:48

Celery!

DianaTrent · 23/11/2015 21:52

Chocolate cake, buttercream, most shellfish and almost all permutations of caramel.

SilverOldie2 · 23/11/2015 21:58

What do you eat silveroldie Shock*

Mostly food I was brought up on - I suppose you could call it traditional English - roasts, chops, steak and kidney pies and stews, fish and chips, shepherds pie, toad in the hole, lamb chops in the hole, ham, egg and chips, etc.

I think I inherited my taste from my Father - he was famous for taking cream crackers and cheddar cheese with him as emergency rations when he and my Mother went to France for the weekend. Grin

Olives
Cougettes
Aubergine
Humus
Broad beans
Frozen mixed veg
Any fish other than cod
Parsley
Hard pears
Blue cheese
Any spirits

Jibberjabberjooo · 23/11/2015 22:10

ifyoulikepinacolada · 23/11/2015 22:30

Yoghurt, cream, fat on meat, and offal. And raw tomatoes. It's a texture thing.
