Food that ruins EVERYTHING

[cauliflowersqueeze]

Celery.

The tiniest slice ruins any meal. AIBU?

Do you have another suggestion?

I love most of the stuff mentioned on here, but I agree about margarine, offal and sprouts...yuk!

I’m not fussy about anything apart from coriander. I get the washing up liquid taste as so many do. Why is it put in so many things? Completely ruins the dish for me.

Parsley
Asafoetida

Mint. And it's in EVERYTHING at the moment.

Ah yes, I forgot about that! It really is everywhere at the moment, in sweet AND savoury stuff, and it ruins it all 🤢

Paprika/smokey paprika/cayenne pepper - ruined a few dishes

God yes... I forgot the vile-ness that is smoked paprika.

We LOVE smoked paprika. I've just finished a massive tub of it and actually felt a bit lost

Any kind of nuts are putrid
Avocado tastes like devils earwax
Coconut

God smokey paprika. Ugh.

Goats cheese, revolting stuff makes me gag

Coriander!
I’m one of those people who thinks it tastes like old soap, and it’s so pungent. Absolutely ruins a perfectly good meal

There seems to be a whole lot of us who taste coriander as soap. I wonder what the proportions are.

The internet reckons 14-21% of people taste soap in Caucasian populations.

Quite a while back I read up about so called super tasters and I seemed to fit that category with my hatred of and low tolerance to stinky green vegetables, hot chilli peppers and fresh coriander. Add to that disgust with sweet, creamy and fatty foods and I thought I had the explanation. But at the same time I like bitter, umami and sour tastes like full roast coffee, very dark chocolate, grapefruit, Parmesan and so on and that apparently doesn’t agree with the reasoning.

Chocolate! In deserts. I know people love it but it triggers my acid reflux.

I adore coriander, mushrooms, celery, anchovies, raisins, red peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers goats cheese and avocados.
I must be weird on mumsnet.
For me it is liver. Pate is disgusting. Smells foul.
Shame really because I really want to like it :)

StarJumps I wondered about super tasters, I think dp and dd are, that's why they're so fussy.

I'm not, I like strong flavours, but not especially sweet things, though.

Lol at all the people wondering why others put coriander in things as it tastes like soap , as it obviously doesn't to the majority of people. I think there's a similar thing with green veg, where it tastes very bitter to some people and not others.

I’ll add some more to what l hates in my earlier post.....

Mayonnaise (why oh why does every bloody premade (most)sandwiches have this work of the devil included....?

Brussels sprouts

Shellfish of ANY kind 🤢🤮

What I hate! Bloody autocorrect!

I love love love mushrooms, will even eat them raw, but my ex insisted on putting them in fajitas and I had to draw the line there!

Cucumber is repulsive but I absolutely LOVE pickled gherkins.

Brussel sprouts are also awful.

Prawns.

Goats cheese

I love mushrooms in fajitas.

Starjumps, I'm similar to you in that I fit a lot of the super taster criteria but not others, and not the same as you. I don't mind Brussels sprouts but can't drink coffee and I love mushrooms.
