Celery.

The tiniest slice ruins any meal. AIBU?

Do you have another suggestion?

Peas. Cucumber. Cinnamon.

Rocket

It has no place on a pizza or sneaking up on me in a nice crisp fresh salad!

My DH would call them 'devils little snot ball's
Garden peas Smile

There is actually only 5 foods I hate:
Green olives (devils grapes)
Capers (devils raisins)
Raw oysters (although will happily eat sushi for all meals)
Rocket (see above, it’s such a rancid peppery taste)
Peanuts sprinkled on food (because once I had a chicken satay noodle dish hungover and I wasn’t expecting chunks of peanut in the sauce and I vomited on my plate, in the office canteen..)

Mushroom. Revolting things

Raw onion on food, you can't get rid of the taste it burns, weirdly fine with pickled onions or Indian onion salad in lemon juice.
Beetroot, I like it but it doesn't like me.
Blue cheese, love goats cheese and other pungent cheeses though.

I like most things on here, especially love coriander, coconut, dill, chilli, olives, rosemary, salted caramelthough.

Mayo
Please do sarnies without,it tastes like I imagine an oil slick to taste

Margarine 🤢

Foraminutethere · 09/02/2019 21:15

Cinnamon

Bleeuurrgghh

TrendyNorthLondonTeen · 09/02/2019 21:16

Ooh, and butter. I like butter on it's own but can't stand it with other things. Definitely not on sandwiches and watching anyone dipped buttered bread into soup makes me feel ill.

Galvantula · 09/02/2019 21:16

YaNBU about the celery.

Also coleslaw. 🤮

FlyingGiraffeBox · 09/02/2019 21:17

Redcurrents- when they adulterate a delicious sweet creamy cheesecake with these sour little balls of yuck still on the goddam twig because it's "pretty". No! Leave my cheesecake alone!

isseywithcats · 09/02/2019 21:18

red or green pappers in anything overpower all other tastes of food i can taste them a mile away hateful vegetables

isseywithcats · 09/02/2019 21:18

Smurfy23 · 09/02/2019 21:19

Green peppers. What is the point in them?!

Dillyson · 09/02/2019 21:20

Baked beans
Fried eggs
Chick peas
Ginger in desserts
Dark chocolate

theWarOnPeace · 09/02/2019 21:20

Agree on parsnips. They’re the weird ugly woodchips of Lucifer himself.

amusedbush · 09/02/2019 21:23

Onion.

Green pepper.

Coriander 🤢

TooManyPaws · 09/02/2019 21:24

Definitely raw onion. I love cooked onion but I just can't get along with raw onion. Even if I pick it off whatever, I can still taste it and it still gives me violent indigestion and horrific wind for hours.

Nottobesoldseparately · 09/02/2019 21:25

Lamb
Coffee
Broad beans

ScrimshawTheSecond · 09/02/2019 21:31

Sugar in savoury foods. It's in bloody everything these days, especially M&S foods, revolting.

userschmoozer · 09/02/2019 21:33

9 pages in and not one person has said Marmite?

cheesenpickles · 09/02/2019 21:33

Mushrooms. Their flavour sweeps into everything.

userschmoozer · 09/02/2019 21:33

Oh, and Xylitol.

Mustard
Mayo
Dried fruit
