Quorn. It's made from cow's bogeys

I'd eat something I simply didn't like if someone served it me. But some food makes me feel sick just to look at it, from experience it is politer to explain that you have an aversion to a particular food than it is to run from the table heaving.

That said the only really common food served that I couldn't and wouldn't eat are runny eggs, and ime people tend to ask how you want them done. Foods such as offal and tripe aren't generally hard to avoid.

Some food I wouldn't even touch for hunger, even several days of not eating would be preferable. I'd only eat them if it got to starvation point.

Lamb 🤢

DorisDangleberry · 11/02/2018 19:08

Chips. Absolutely disgusting things that are responsible for most of the worlds ills. They should be illegal

Don't like red meat or quorn either.
Hate fresh coriander or walnuts (other herbs and nuts are OK)
Not a huge fan of liver or kidney
BUT if I went to someone's house and they served these things i could eat them. There are few things, with the exception of grisly meat, that I couldn't get down if I had to!

olbndansmummy · 11/02/2018 19:46

Liver, tripe, ALL seafood, marmite, ALL smelly cheese, kidney, tongue omg such a fussy cow!

Get the cheap nasty meat that probably contains about 5 percent meat, but ethical issues asides - fish / dairy, aren’t most objections here things people just don’t like / have never tried and before doing so have decided they don’t want to (all guilty of at times!)

White sauce that vile stuff you put over fish. Blugh Envy

I can’t eat pine nuts.
They taste oily and burnt to me and I couldn’t understand how other people could eat them.
Apparently it’s a sensitivity that some people have ( bit like an allergy but not dangerous) and they taste vile.

Pomegranates. So tiresome.

snowone · 11/02/2018 21:25

Raisins, sultanas, currants, prunes....and many other dried fruits. Oh and Glacé cherries are minging too!! So therefore mince pies and Christmas cake are also disgusting.

I can confirm that eating oysters is just like eating pleghm.....very salty phlegm!!

Peasant food like lentils. Why? French, Italians, Chinese,and on a good day, homegrown cuisine, is fabulous. Why eat like someone who subsists on a dollar a day?
