What is the one thing you can eat on it's very own, although some people find it repulsive?

For me it's cheese! Any kind of cheese!!!! I am in LOVE with CHEESE!!! Cream cheese, cheddar cheese, brie, mozzarella, provolone, you get the idea!

However, I have a friend tell me that she thought it was disgusting! even though she relished ketchup sandwiches! Blergh!

I knew another guy who could simply eat a raw onion like an apple, no problem! My autist mind thought, "I wonder if he will be a serial killer one day?" I know, I'm weird! HA!

What one food do you enjoy tremendously on it's own, but according to some people, it makes them want to gag?

Cold tinned peas with salt.

Black pudding 😍

I eat bread and butter pickles straight out of the jar, and can easily eat half a jar at a time (only stopped by my mouth shriveling and burning). I also love to microwave a bowl of tinned sweetcorn with a bit of butter, salt and pepper.

I might need bread and butter pickles now.

Oh and I could eat olive tapenade with a spoon.

I love the tiny capers in brine.
Anything pickled basically, I made a huge jar of home made sauerkraut and had it with everything, must do it again soon, dead easy.

Sour cream - just like yoghurt but much nicer
Boiled Buckwheat with butter and salt = delicacy

Raw pastry. Started when I was pregnant. Still eating all my pastry trimmings now!

Big ol' chunk of marzipan 😋

Sweet corn from the tin.
Pickled onions obviously.

Raw cauliflower, far more flavour than cooked!

Peas and pickled beetroot!

mint sauce
garlic cloves
jalapenos
Patak's chilli pickle
Lemons

Marmite
Mature cheddar cheese
Sweetcorn from the tin
Humous
Olives

ooh ooh ooh! I've got another, aside from drinking glasses of pure vinegar.

I love banana and cheese toasties. Most people look at me as if I'm mad, but it is lovely.

Also fish paste and raspberry jam sandwiches. Fab combination.

No one will even have a taste.

Frozen peas
Smash granules

@BridgeFarmKefir

I'm shocked! Shocked! As would be Jenny-Dahling!

The OH has a thing for crunchy peanut butter and tinned spaghetti on toast. I ended up trying it once when expecting spaghetti on toast LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING.

It's actually quite nice.

Loads really,

Any sort of pickle, gerkin, onion beetroot, red cabbage, cauliflower, eggs.

Cherry tomatoes cut in half covered in aromat seasoning.

Plain pasta with olive oil, cracked black pepper and sea salt flakes.

Vinegar. Oxo cube crumbled. Raw brussel spouts. Butter dipped in sugar.

Crunchy peanut butter off the spoon.

Whole jars of green olives stuffed with garlic.

Cheese, all types.

Salt

Haven't RTFT but hey, the skins of grilled chicken thighs.
There are lots of things here that I wouldn't believe anyone would say "Eugh!" to (that was the criteria, right?) which makes me wonder if I'm properly grim; who doesn't love crunchy peanut butter off a spoon?

@AdultHumanFemale, I too adore chicken skin-especially dark meat!

However, I despise crunchy peanut butter. Just the thought of eating it makes me want to heave. Blech!

An acacado. I cut it in half and eat it with a spoon. Didn’t know it was weird until I was quite old- my Mum eats them like that, I assume because of 70s dinner parties. I also sometimes put a bit of French vinegerette in the hollow and channel Esther from The Bell Jar too, if I’m feeling especially pretentious. I’ve never mixed it with grape jam though, so I’m not that pretentious *

• disclaimer: read TBJ once as a youth 20 odd years ago and never again because I found it to be, well yeah, pretentious and bleak. But the French dressing/grape jam thing never left me and it was only writing it there then that I questioned if it was actually true. But it is, I’m not mad (unlike Esther herself) ^^www.seriouseats.com/2010/07/a-serious-salad-search-sylvia-plaths-lost-sal.html^^

Cold mushy peas. Fork straight into the tin

Ffs “Avocado” obvs. Fat thumbs (from all the avocados. But at least it’s the right kind of fat).

@MitziK I'm definitely more Grundy than Aldridge!

Jux, yes cheese on banana on toast! Food of the gods!! Why isn’t everyone eating it?
