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

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 09/02/2019 20:11

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!!

Upthepong · 09/02/2019 20:12

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

SpringForEver · 09/02/2019 20:14

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!
