Celery.

The tiniest slice ruins any meal. AIBU?

Do you have another suggestion?

Avocado, raw onions, raisins - all things that get sprinkled on delicious food and impossible to get out of the dish.

littlemissalwaystired · 09/02/2019 20:09

I could eat a bucketful of raisinsGrin

Dill
Mushrooms

TrixieFranklin · 09/02/2019 20:11

I forgot the devils food itself - tomato ketchup!

HazelBite · 09/02/2019 20:11

Onions, red onions. spring onions, cooked onions, raw onions, pickled onions, yes and leeks too.
Absolutely foul!!

fish eggs. Don't put them on my fecking sandwich!

Basil, makes me feel physically sick and it stinks.

Cinnamon, foul and nausea inducing.

Nutmeg, has no place anywhere except on the top of a rice pudding where you can scrape it off and throw it away. It does not belong in pasta, or anything else.

Prawns. I’m a pescatarian so love fish pies and paella but they always always always put prawns in those things. Yuck!

SoSaidTheHorse · 09/02/2019 20:15

Coriander has a definite soapy note to it but I still love it.

straightjeans · 09/02/2019 20:16

Vegetables. Hate most them.

Meowandthen · 09/02/2019 20:17

Love celery, mushrooms, coriander etc.

The worst thing that contaminates cakes, biscuits and other desserts is the item known to me a desecrated coconut. Nasty gritty stuff.

Lala503 · 09/02/2019 20:17

Celery for me too.

Am almost phobic about it.
There's also those little brown seeds they sometimes put in salads that taste just like celery Shock

artisanscotcheggs · 09/02/2019 20:17

Celery is VILE.

Mmmhmmm · 09/02/2019 20:18

Blueberries, especially cooked.

AngelaStorm73 · 09/02/2019 20:19

Cardamon pods

E20mom · 09/02/2019 20:20

Coriander

GabsAlot · 09/02/2019 20:20

@mortyvicar my dh hates coriander leaves but can cope with it being crushed and mixed up in a dish-just about

oh yes dill whats that about

Urgh2019 · 09/02/2019 20:21

Coriander and cucumber.

AlecOrAlonzo · 09/02/2019 20:22

I love most of the foods on this thread. Coriander, anchovies, celery... all delicious. The thing that ruins food for me is neeps. Swede/turnip/snèap whatever you call it it's minging. It's the vegetable that demonstrates that just because it is possible to grow something does not mean that you should!

hopeful31yrs · 09/02/2019 20:22

'Shrooms...that is all. Fucking horrible

CluedoAddict · 09/02/2019 20:23

Cheese, it's on everything. I hate it.

Peppers make everything taste of them.

NatashaRomanov · 09/02/2019 20:24

Olives.
Saffron.
Goats Cheese.
Cardamom pods. Now they taste like soap!

AriadnePersephoneCloud · 09/02/2019 20:24

Parsley!!!

thenightsky · 09/02/2019 20:26

I can't believe capers have not been mentioned. How did they end up as food?

munchbunch12 · 09/02/2019 20:27

Salmon, just the smell makes me nauseous!
