Celery.

The tiniest slice ruins any meal. AIBU?

Do you have another suggestion?

Parsley 🤢 🤮
Coriander 🤮

Nuts and coffee. Always shoving them in chocolate and ruining it!

Just remembered 'cultured' butter, in some restaurant I'll never go to again. Came with bread to keep us going while we waited a long time for food.

It just tasted rancid. Horrible.

WTF is wrong with proper butter? Not trendy enough?

Cucumbers. Even one being in the fridge at work makes my sandwich taste like mouldy water. How does it infiltrate packaging the sneaky fucker. DH likes it but has realised that there will be a divorce if he tries to sneak some into the house.
Oh the disappointment when you have purchased what appears to be a lovely sandwich and then you find the hidden lumps of cucumber. Gross.
Otherwise lovely salads ruined by somebody having cut it up into tiny bits so you can't see it at first.
Weirdly I love gherkins.

Another vote for mushrooms -hate them! And am also a vegetarian, and the choice is often something like mushroom risotto 😷
I do however love coriander, celery and lots of others mentioned here

Goats feckin’ cheese Angry

bonbonours · 13/02/2019 10:04

Love coriander, mushrooms and nearly everything else mentioned here...

Only thing I hate is cooked carrots which spoil every shop bought vegetable soup. So now I only make my own soups.

lljkk · 13/02/2019 10:05

Coffee. Vanilla is a close 2nd. And blue cheese, of course.

bonbonours · 13/02/2019 10:06

Oh I tell a lie, also hate green peppers and cucumber.

NewGrandad · 13/02/2019 10:12

Cheese.

Decayed milk. End of!

Marzipan, the bastard ruins cakes.

Sjofn · 13/02/2019 10:39

Oops agentdaisy got there before me, at your wedding too, ouch!

JustHereWithMyPopcorn · 13/02/2019 10:40

I opened this link to say celery. Great minds.... Grin

PositivePeach · 13/02/2019 12:23

I'm a fussy eater, but only really take offence to -
Coriander
Mayo
Kidney beans
Mushrooms
Cheese on the turn - I'm amazed how many people can't tell! It tastes how rancid clothes smells!
Butter flavour - eg Phase 🤢
Citrus fruit in savoury dishes

I can't believe the hate for Parmesan! I love it, so much so that I have stopped buying the wedges as I'll eat it all on its own 🙈

Alicatz66 · 13/02/2019 12:30

Beetroot .... uuuurggghh .. and it not only tastes vile .. it's crept into lots of nice food .. even hummus !!! .. and dyed it pink .. loathe the stuff

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 13/02/2019 13:54

Harissa spice....the devil!

purpleleotard · 13/02/2019 13:59

meat of any kind render any food inedible.

woollyheart · 13/02/2019 19:33

I think the hate of Parmesan is mainly for the dried variety which is nothing like a beautiful wedge of Parmesan.

runninguphills · 13/02/2019 22:40

I'll eat anything except gravy. It's the Devils juice. It congeals up immediately as soon as it loses heat {boak}

User298895613 · 13/02/2019 22:42

Raisins, vinegar and salad cream (obviously not all together, although that would be hell!)

User298895613 · 13/02/2019 22:44

Oh yes, and beetroot .... Yuck yuck yuck ... And coleslaw ... Blaaaaaiir yuck ... Just why?

Inertia · 13/02/2019 23:49
