Celery.

The tiniest slice ruins any meal. AIBU?

Do you have another suggestion?

Lentils - I can’t stand them, can taste them
a mile off

Alcohol- In main meals I don’t mind a sherry
trifle

Proseccoagain · 09/02/2019 23:04

Raw onions.
Raw tomatoes.
Coriander leaf.
Garlic.
Mayonnaise.
All vile.

Raw Onion gives me a headache.
I get it even if it has been against a piece of lettuce in a side salad .

stairway · 09/02/2019 23:12

Some already mentioned
Beetroot
Peas
Baked beans
Mushrooms.
English breakfast is absolutely vile. I also don’t like potatoes that much unless they are either crisps or chips.

BanginChoons · 09/02/2019 23:13

Goats cheese. It tastes like the smell of an actual goat.

DrWhy · 09/02/2019 23:15

Custard - sickly slime

Furrycushion · 09/02/2019 23:17

I will eat most things but don't like:
Olives
Oysters (never actually tried them but can't hear the thought of it)
Capers
Gherkins
Blue cheese
Offal (except chicken livers)
Fennel
I could eat most of these to be polite.

Love celery & coriander. And goats cheese, although I understand why you wouldn't.

Marmite!!! (AKA skid marks on toast)

If it was really as nice as the charlatans claim it is, then why do they only put the tiniest smudge of it on toast?

Things I find delicious on toast I'd be only too glad to have lashings of. There. I said it.

mocha70 · 09/02/2019 23:24

coconut in chocolate.

Horseradish sauce.
Radishes.
Swede and turnip.
Yellow mustard.
kidney beans
mango chutney (love mangoes on their own)

Samcro · 09/02/2019 23:27

cauliflour (I don't care how its spelt) its vile
and Parsnips.......yeah hide and pretend to be roast spuds.

Vinorosso74 · 09/02/2019 23:28

Raw onions. Horrid they taint anything they touch. The stinking breath and indigestion afterwards urrrggggh!
Too much garlic. I like garlic but too much just ruins things.
Cinnamon. Horrid taste ruins some lovely apple desserts/cakes.

PerpendicularVincent · 09/02/2019 23:28

CORIANDER

bananafish · 09/02/2019 23:34

Chocolate. My personal bête noire. I dislike it in general, but hate it specifically in puddings. Cooked chocolate smells like vomit and tastes even worse. I just can't.
Custard. JFC - why?
Eggs. Just no.
Raw tomatoes, raw peppers. Again, why?
Bechamel sauce. Are you fucking kidding me?
Oysters - mmm, salty snot. Yeah, no thanks.
Fried onions. Retch.
Pizza - gag, gag, gag.

PosiePerkinandPootle · 09/02/2019 23:35

Shellfish (give me a migraine).
Sage - tastes of soap
Parmesan - tastes of sweaty feet

Siameasy · 09/02/2019 23:37

Salt in chocolate
Chilli in chocolate
Dried fruit or any fruit in a savoury dish
A nut in a curry (weirdly I’m fine with a cashew in a stir fry)
Dedicated coconut in a savoury dish
Artificial sweetener
Aubergine
Fresh tomatoes
Raw onions

Butternut squash/sweet potato. Over rated, too sweet in the case of the latter-the former tastes of nothing. Neither are a patch on a spud

Darkestnight · 09/02/2019 23:37

Parsnips and beetroot both disgusting

Siameasy · 09/02/2019 23:38

Dedicated coconut lol DESSICATED

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 09/02/2019 23:38

Jelly

Boak

Shufflebumnessie · 09/02/2019 23:41

Coriander - absolutely vile and even the tiniest hint ruins perfectly good food!

Alcohol in food (sweet or savoury) is just wrong. As is fruit in savoury dishes (apples in salads, raisins in curries etc).

anitagreen · 09/02/2019 23:46

Mustard is disgusting

Sakura7 · 09/02/2019 23:47

Cucumber is foul - I know if it even touched something in a salad. I can smell it miles off. I clearly have the gene.

Onions - I hate them which is really unfortunate as they're in fucking everything. I can just about tolerate them chopped really finely and cooked to death in something like lasagne or spag bol. But big slimy chunks of them just make me hurl. Don't even get me started on raw onions.

Not a fan of raw tomato either but love it cooked.

halfwitpicker · 09/02/2019 23:48

I am so pleased you nailed it in the op.

MamaWeasel · 09/02/2019 23:50

Macadamia nuts..... Taste like a mouthful of gone off flour

And cumin.... Yuck!

Seahorseshoe · 09/02/2019 23:51

Pesto.

Hotterthanahotthing · 09/02/2019 23:52

Celery
Parsnips
Goats cheese
