Egg Sandwiches- the thought has always made me gag!

Sparklingbrook · 09/02/2018 23:09

Oh god tongue Gentle. My Nan used to make tongue sandwishes/rolls. I didn't realise for years it was something's actual tongue.

Goat meat, cheese and milk. I have sniffed a goat. It smells the same as it tastes only with a slightly astringent, washing up liquidy taste thrown in for good measure.

Lamb. I’ve sniffed a lamb too and again they taste the same as they smell. Yak.

Kidney, liver and eel.

I can cope with everything else.

GentleJones · 09/02/2018 23:10

Prawn sandwiches. Smothered fuckers between two slices of white in a seafood sauce, no!

Menarefrommarsitwouldseem · 09/02/2018 23:11

Animals in general.

Goats cheese which is unfortunate as most places make sure the veggie option includes goats cheese vom or stilton heave

I will eat most things. And I love cauliflower. But cauliflower rice is just vile.

GentleJones · 09/02/2018 23:12

Sparkling, me neither!

To be honest I will eat anything, and if I am stuck on a mountain top after a plane crash, I will consider human leg.

I do honestly believe in top to tail, if you are going to kill something than make sure you use as much as possible. I know not many agree with me but for myself if you are in for a penny you are in for a pound. Yes I am also capable of killing, skinning and cooking my own meat as well

Cockles - pixie willies.

Sparklingbrook · 09/02/2018 23:14

Weird really Gentle what with the clue being in the name. Grin As soon as I realised then no more tongue.

Candied peel. Just yuk. Spoils fruit cake/hot cross buns.

Crispbutty · 09/02/2018 23:15

I already posted my hatred for quite and enjoy everything else on this thread until I saw eel mentioned. Tried it once and gagged. Disgusting.

I'm not a massive fan of rice pudding or tapioca / semolina either but I love risotto and other savoury rice dishes.

idontlikealdi · 09/02/2018 23:15

Meat with visible tubes
Seafood
Figs

Crispbutty · 09/02/2018 23:15

Quorn not "quite "

Teufelsrad · 09/02/2018 23:15

Yes to cauliflower rice. I can't understand why it tastes so terrible, because I love cauliflower, with or without cheese, and could happily eat it every day.

I forgot raisins/sultanas. They ruin everything. They have a weird texture and a terrible taste. What is the point?

And coleslaw. The creamy one. The vinaigrette dressing type is fine, but coleslaw is probably the food that I hate most of all, and couldn't eat a tiny bit of it even if you paid me.

HildaZelda · 09/02/2018 23:15

I'll eat most things, but don't ever ask me to put cabbage in my mouth because I WILL throw up.

GentleJones · 09/02/2018 23:16

Exactly Sparkling. Wasn’t as if it was dressed up to be something else, like Black Pudding! 😩

Sparklingbrook · 09/02/2018 23:16

Oh yes. Tubes. If I spy one that's dinner over.

LoniceraJaponica · 09/02/2018 23:16

Caddburys chocolate - doesn't even taste like chocolate. It's harsh and sickly.

GentleJones · 09/02/2018 23:17

Liquorice! Yuk!

Ds is the only one who eats the stuff.

Tinned tuna. It stinks. And it has no resemblance to fresh tuna. My children are 12 and 8 and they've never had tuna. Can't bring myself to buy it, never mind open a tin and dish it up!!
