Also detest soft/runny/undercooked eggs
Butter and broad beans, ick

Hit post too soon!

Wow! Some people have long lists.

Veggie for ethical reasons but before I was I didn't like red meat or offal (although I liked steak and kidney pud). I liked fish and poultry. Never a big fan of bacon which is most veggies lure back to the dark side Grin

Aside from that

Pears
Sprouts
Swede (sacrilege apparently as I'm a Scot)
Semolina (threw it up every time I was forced to eat it at school)

A lot of what is being mentioned are my favourite foods - I like garlic raw!

As for coriander dislike being genetic aren't most taste preferences? Not aware of it really being a learnt thing (although there's perhaps a cultural element? Bearing in mind different national cuisines?)

Oh yeah, dill, me too. Rank.

toffeeboffin · 24/11/2015 00:52

Lots Of Fellow Celery Haters Here.

toffeeboffin · 24/11/2015 00:53

Oops, sorry about big letters!

Gladysandtheflathamsandwich · 24/11/2015 00:57

I am a funny bugger I think!

Dont like chocolate, cake, biscuits etc as mentioned above but I love vegetables and especially the ones that a lot of people hate.

I love celery, sweded (lovely mashed with butter), cauli, kale, cabbage, mushrooms, spring greens. But my favourite by far is sprouts! I could eat those all the time and bubble and squeak is infinitely better when made with sprouts than with cabbage.

Mermaidhair1 · 24/11/2015 00:57

Prawns
Mushrooms
It's the texture.

Gladysandtheflathamsandwich · 24/11/2015 00:57

sweded?! :o

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 24/11/2015 01:12

I'll eat anything that doesn't move, except for Collyflower. Ewww the taste and texture, yuk x 1,000,000.
I hated liver as child. I love it now though.
Liver sausage and onion gravy. Now you're talking Grin

SpellBookandCandle · 24/11/2015 01:53

Liver, lamb, prawns, caviar.
Cabbage, olives, feta cheese
Soy milk, almond milk, yoghurt.

Discopanda · 24/11/2015 02:14

I don't like meat or fish so am vegetarian. That is, of course, only one of my reasons!

TheDowagerCuntess · 24/11/2015 02:40

Cheddar. I don't hate it, but would never waste my money on it - what is the point of it, when you could be eating deliciously squidgy Camembert, Brie or blue.

Mushrooms
Cucumbers
Aubergine

...but would still eat them if served for dinner at someone else's house.

ladybird69 · 24/11/2015 02:51

cheese
oysters
olives
offal
cuppa soups (not mixed well)
mushrooms
tabioco pudding
rice pudding
cavier
whelks

MistressoftheYoniverse · 24/11/2015 09:04

Food/drink with artificial sweeteners...can't stand them even the natural ones, tastes odd and gives me a headache...worst culprit sugar-free polos

But I love brussels! Grin

SarahSavesTheDay · 24/11/2015 09:12

You don't like parmesan? I don't understand. Confused

Janeymoo50 · 24/11/2015 09:16

Mushrooms, food of Satan.
Olives, food of Satan.
Green beans..food of...yep, him.
Real tomatoes (as opposed to tomato sauce, soup, passata etc which are all fine).
Shredded wheat.

SarahSavesTheDay · 24/11/2015 09:19

My pet food hate is mayonnaise. This makes it nigh impossible to eat a packaged sandwich in the UK. Sad

Fishy fish (especially tinned tuna,salmon, smoked Fishy)
Banana - allergic.

Jibberjabberjooo · 24/11/2015 11:16

Lamb
Mayo
Sprouts are the devil's food
Avocado, slimy and disgusting

goggleboxismygod · 24/11/2015 11:23

A few things I really cannot stand:

-- Offal (I know its trendy to not waste food now but it's still got vile textures and is usually far to strong for me).

-- Marzipan

-- Fennel and anything else that tastes of aniseed

-- Celery (I really don't understand why this appears to often in restaurants - its got a fairly distinctive taste so I doubt it's super popular. maybe its the "zero calories" trend?)

-- Coconut (why oh why does every decent-sounding restaurant dessert have to include it?)

-- Olives (so many times as a kid I was caught out thinking they were grapes and so many times as an adult I am upset because everyone who likes them gets to scoff before dinner arrive at every Italian restaurant)

-- Feta (texture and taste all wrong)

-- DILL - I hate dill with a passion. It's fur. Green, smelly fur. Not only is it disgusting, but it turns up unexpectedly in anything that involves salmon (rarely is it mentioned on menus that they are going to spread a layer of the revolting stuff all over a lovely piece of fish) and, the cardinal sin, it's almost impossible to pick it all off!!

TobleroneBoo · 24/11/2015 11:42

Coriander, Tomatoes & Olives!

Yuck!

When I was off on maternity leave with my first child, pre birth and had to take this due to medical reasons, close to due date, I watched day time TV a lot because the flat was by then spotless. I saw an advert for dog food. It looked so delicious, the way the can was opened, the meat looked juicy, I was hooked. I had such a yearning. I took myself and bump out to the supermarket. I walked down the pet food isle. Seriously considered it and then I remembered corned beef (thankfully).

I bought the corned beef, went home opened the tin like in the advert, and ate it from a bowl (I did use a fork).

Haven't been able to eat corned beef from a tin since.
