Food that ruins EVERYTHING

[cauliflowersqueeze]

Celery.

The tiniest slice ruins any meal. AIBU?

Do you have another suggestion?

dill.
overpowers everything. Why the Scandinavians have to add it to everything, including sushi (WTF!) I cannot fathom.
tarragon.
smells of lawn clippings. Why would you want to put that in your food?

Can't believe only a couple of other posters have mentioned truffles/truffle oil. Yuk!
Hate that chefs think because it's an expensive item that it's automatically going to enhance any dish.
Just being in a restaurant where other diners are eating the stuff puts me off. For some reason the smell really gets to me.
If DH has been out for a meal and has had anything with truffle, I would prefer it if he spent the next 24 hours in another room! okay, so that's not always down to truffle consumption!

I agree with truffle oil. It's one of the worst things that I've ever eaten.

Ugh truffle oil. I think I've only had pretend truffle oil but I didn't like it.
I like dill and tarragon. Parsley, rosemary and basil can be overpowering.

Parsley - it's such a strong taste. I really hate it.

Love loads that are mentioned on here tho.

Kidney beans shudder I can't cope with them. The texture makes me gag.

Iceberg lettuce in a salad too. No idea why, just hate it.

Pepperoni. Tastes like death and repeats on you all night.

Cardamom. Little fuckers always sneak onto my fork when eating an indian

Lemongrass or anything fragrant, no idea why anyone would eat anything that tastes like hand soap

Raw tomato, vile - cooked and sauce is fine but raw is a big no no

Celery and cucumber are pointless, watery and crap tasting

However I love mushrooms, garlic, chilli, onions, and coriander!

Cheap whipped cream. I love pretty much everything everyone else has mentioned.

The level of sheer hatred on this thread for groceries is brilliant.

Coriander tastes like soap for some 4-14 percent of the population.
Coriander haters are people with a shared group of olfactory-receptor genes, called OR6A2, that pick up on the smell of aldehyde chemicals.
Aldehyde chemicals are found in both cilantro and soap. Yummy !!

Cilantro and Coriander are the same thing...……...

Coriander leaf and raw celery. 🤮

Real truffle is amazing. Truffle oil is repulsive.

Avocados 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Just remembered another one. Bay leaves. Growing up my mother used to put them in everything along with cardomom pods. Disgusting 😂😂

I like bay leaves but there are a couple of things I won't put them in as they really alter the taste. I also only put cardamom pods in (eggless) kedgeree.

Balsamic vinegar - to me, absolute revolt.
Sour cream - as above. I just dont get it!
Things with big blobs of natural yoghurt on it like curries etc.
Cream cheese.
Vegemite, marmite, promite - all of the mites. They stink enough that I've never eaten it!
Can tolerate small amounts of cheese melted in things now, but a raw cheese board?
Pate & Terrines also yuck.
Speck... that thick fatty ham that posh resturants like to include in things such a risotto just no.
Beer...it stinks and tastes like I imagine tangy mold does.
Unflavoures milk... can easily do a chocolate or coffee, but unflavoured no way.

I had a serious aversion to anything dairy as a kid (has improved now) to the point I wouldn't even eat dairy flavoured things... no cheese crisps, milk bottle lollies, custard, trifle etc. I hadnt even tried cereal until my 20's cos the thought of having to have milk with it made me recoil!

Thyme. Bleh!

Chickpeas. Weird tasteless mushy balls.

And I'm one in a million here, but BUTTER. I can never buy a ready-made sandwich because it's slathered in the stuff. I don't mind things cooked in butter, or even if it's melted over corn on the cob, but cold butter smeared across bread turns my stomach.

Skimmed through the thread, found one thing I definitely dislike-margarine. Will happily eat all common food :)

Strawberries.

Oh, I love celery! So clean, crunchy and fresh-tasting!

Cant abide:

Curry
Chilli
Onions
Cabbage
Bacon
Beetroot
Coleslaw
Ginger
Mustard

Basically anything strong thats going to make me cough or burn my mouth ... and arse when it comes out!

I like specialty oils like sesame oil, walnut oil, olive oil, hemp oil.

But truffle oil is truly RANK, urghhh.

@belinda789 that’s fascinating. Tell us more!

Apparently, I have an intollerancevto all the alcohol sugars called Polyols. My bowels turn to water if i have so much as a tea spoon. Found that out the hard way by eating two pieces of sugar free chewing gum on a long flight ...
