Celery.

The tiniest slice ruins any meal. AIBU?

Do you have another suggestion?

Beetroot. I've always loathed it but I curse the day it became trendy as it's now ruining dishes everywhere.

OnTheHop · 09/02/2019 19:27

And yes, fresh coriander.
Why have people not learned to strew it over nice food?
Leave it for fans to strew as optional.

QuestionableMouse · 09/02/2019 19:27

Coriander. Vile and tastes like soap smells.

Basil because it makes me itch like mad.

Lamb. Tastes like sheep smell.

SoftSheen · 09/02/2019 19:28

Goats' cheese. Tastes like a goat smells.

KitsandCaboodles · 09/02/2019 19:28

I agree with alcohol in desserts and how could I forget goat cheese?

OnTheHop · 09/02/2019 19:28

Not learned NOT, or ‘learned not’. Whatever, just chuck the bloody stuff in the compost.

OvO · 09/02/2019 19:28

Spinach

mychildrenarebarmy · 09/02/2019 19:29

Coconut. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I can detect the merest hint of it, confirmed by a sceptical friend who has tried testing that theory a few times in recipes! Hmm

Jamiefraserskilt · 09/02/2019 19:29

Cooked celery
Peppers
Anchovies
Tomatoes
Products of the devil and should be banned

WineGummyBear · 09/02/2019 19:29

Mine have already been identified

Alcohol in dessert
Goats cheese
Coriander

TooMinty · 09/02/2019 19:29

Raisins and sultanas. Evil, evil I tell you!

Deadbudgie · 09/02/2019 19:29

Fish - spent its life swimming round in piss and chemically treated shit eating micro plastic. Invariably fish from the sea tastes like you’ve just swallowed a mouthful of sea water

PooleySpooley · 09/02/2019 19:29

Anything goat.

PawsAndReflection · 09/02/2019 19:29

RAISINS

Turn up in everything the wily little fuckers

BluthsFrozenBananas · 09/02/2019 19:30

Mayonnaise, aka the devils pus
Beetroot, makes everything taste like over ripe, sweet rotting veggies
Fennel, ruins otherwise delicious food with its weird aftertaste

BrokenWing · 09/02/2019 19:30

Green peppers, why do they even grow them? Red, yellow and orange taste great no need for green.

Barley, ruins a good soup.

Thisisthelaststraw · 09/02/2019 19:30

I love celery raw or cooked. Raw with peanut butter is delish 😋

I love sweetcorn but dh hates it. Says it’s pointless food as it comes out the same way it went in Grin

I can’t think of anything I don’t like really. No wonder I’m the size I am!

Yambabe · 09/02/2019 19:30

Aubergine. Slimy horrid stuff that tastes awful whilst also managing to taste of nothing. Yuk.

Oh and not strictly a food, but coffee. Hate it. Stop putting it in desserts OK, just stop it!

Destinesia · 09/02/2019 19:30

Coriander.

Who puts coriander on a pizza? Or in a fried egg sandwich?

bridgetreilly · 09/02/2019 19:30

Beetroot.

The only good thing about it is that you can tell where it's been.

Iownabigvase · 09/02/2019 19:31

A weird one of mine: I like cucumber and tuna but I f'ing hate tuna and cucumber sandwiches, it's the cucumber that spoils it, mixed together it just tastes so weird. I also can't stand hot tuna, I'll eat it out of the tin cold but if it's warm (like in a pasta bake or something) it's so disgusting 🤢

trulybadlydeeply · 09/02/2019 19:31

Coconut. Vile stuff that people seem to insist on putting in otherwise delicious cakes and biscuits.

Youknowmedontyou · 09/02/2019 19:31

Beetroot particularly pickled, dying everything purple and tastes of dirt!

jenniuol · 09/02/2019 19:31

Coriander
Coconut
Celery
Avocado
Any kind of nut/dried fruit really 😷

spellingtest · 09/02/2019 19:32

Fish sauce. I ruined a tasty meal by stupidly adding it. One teaspoon; ruined it!
