I don't like....
Vegetables,
Fruit,
Fish?

There are so many different varieties of each! And they all tastes different! Surely there must be some that you like?!

Hmm they don't taste THAT different .. most fish tastes pretty fishy

I could live without fish. TBH I could also live without fruit. I much prefer vegetables to them both

WolfHallster · 08/01/2019 17:55

I agree with you on fruit and veg, but I hate all fish.

Fish all tastes the same to me.

SachaStark · 08/01/2019 17:55

Seafood I find particularly puzzling. I come from a coastal town, so we love our seafood.

"I don't like seafood."

What, none of it? At all?? Not fish, or scallops, or mussels, or prawns or oysters or crab or squid or lobster?

Usually find they'll eat rubbishy battered cod from the chip shop, though.

WolfHallster · 08/01/2019 17:56

The only type of fish I eat is tuna mayo on sandwiches and jacket potato.

Can’t stand any other type.

LoadOfUtterBoswellocks · 08/01/2019 17:56

I don't like even the smell of ANY seafood.
All fruit is sweet, and I don't have a sweet tooth.

Sexnotgender · 08/01/2019 17:56

I don’t like fish. I’ve tried lots of different varieties cooked many different ways.
They all taste like bloody fish!

Sparklingbrook · 08/01/2019 17:56

I don't like fish much. Maybe a Tuna and mayo sandwich, but there's no way I would eat a whole fish and have to do the whole disecting thing.

I like some fruit and some veg.

Nope, and never have. All smell sickly to me, and are of varying levels of squelchiness that makes me shudder to think of.

PookieDo · 08/01/2019 17:58

Some people (me) really don’t like the smell and texture of fish
White fish is a nicer texture and less smelly than other types of fish. I don’t eat any seafood like shellfish or the like. I will eat some oily fish (mackerel and tuna) and basa/cod etc

It’s ok to not like fish that much in general

Out of choice I eat one bit of fruit but 8 portions of veg a day. Again no crime to not like fruit that much either

frompampastobroadway · 08/01/2019 17:58

Scallops, mussels, crab etc all really similar - slimey and smell yuk. I do like seabass and salmon though

VeniVidiWeeWee · 08/01/2019 17:59

"All fruit is sweet".

Ever tried a lime or a lemon?

LoadOfUtterBoswellocks · 08/01/2019 17:59

Although we seafood haters are leaving more for the rest of you I suppose Grin

Clionba · 08/01/2019 17:59

Fish is revolting, in my opinion.
All fish smells disgusting! Can't have it in the house. Yuck.

FissionChips · 08/01/2019 17:59

Don’t like any seafood
I like some veg and some fruits.

Fattymcfaterson · 08/01/2019 17:59

OK I can kind of understand the fish. Kind of.

But vegetables?!
Brocolli tastes completely different to carrots!

LoadOfUtterBoswellocks · 08/01/2019 17:59

Mmmm, yum, a lime. On its own. Just chomp chomp, like that?

PookieDo · 08/01/2019 18:00

You don’t eat limes. It’s an accompaniment

LoadOfUtterBoswellocks · 08/01/2019 18:00

I should stop carping on about it suppose.

All this talk is giving me a haddock.

Sparklingbrook · 08/01/2019 18:00

Lime is good in a drink with ice.

HalfBloodPrincess · 08/01/2019 18:01

I don’t like anything fishy at all. I’ve tried every so often but it’s the smell and flakey texture.

Only fruit I eat is pineapple.

Love all veg though

LoadOfUtterBoswellocks · 08/01/2019 18:01

Eat a lemon? Are you taking the pith?

OMG I AM HILARIOUS

PookieDo · 08/01/2019 18:02

Here is my fruit list

Bananas - ok if you get them at the right point. Can’t eat if too hard or too soft as gross
Apples - really sweet, but do eat
Berries - will eat but again very sweet
Citrus - will eat but again TOO SWEET
pineapple - burns my tongue, hate
Mango - gross texture but I like the taste
Peaches/anything hairy skin - gross texture
Grapes - heartburn

PookieDo · 08/01/2019 18:03

Exotic fruit - too fucking expensive
