I hate pizza

Aibu? It's horrible. At best, it's cheese on toast plus...

Also, what foods does everyone else seem to love which you can't stand?

@lynseylou what's it called? I need to go.

OP. YABVU

Good pizza - sourdough base, woodfired oven, high quality ingredients, served fresh and very hot: really good.

Nasty Pizza Hut / Dominoes / any high st delivery based pizza - bleugh. Extra bleugh for over use of fake cheese (yes, they use fake cheese), stuffed crust (yuk, rancid gunk), 'meat fest' with horrid pellety bits of non-descript stuff on it and bright orange 'chorizo', sweetcorn, pineapple etc, and triple deluxe Bleugh for being delivered on the back of a moped driven by a wannabe organ donor maniac in a lukewarm box that hasn't been cleaned out for ages and according to our local Fb page, harbours maggots.

Indian, Thai, Japanese, doesn't matter

So writing off the Asian subcontinent?

Sorry but your post does come across a bit of " that foreign muck"

Too much cheese and too fatty. But the texture of the deep pan can be nice, but I can't eat too much as it is always a bit too rich and too oily.

Sometimes, it's like eating plasticine.

@tweedler I think DH has got this one or maybe the 2. uk.ooni.com/products/ooni-3-wood-fired-bundle?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI78TkxM2I5wIVWODtCh04Ew2bEAQYASABEgKQyPD_BwE

They are great. Small so you can pack away and you use wood chips. It gets very hot and cooks in about 30 seconds. Have a look on YouTube there are some good demos! We don’t have space for one of the proper pizza ovens so this is a great alternative. It tastes better than if you go out for a pizza so it pays for itself many times over. Grin I’m a bit scared to use it myself but DH loves his cooking gadgets!

WarriorsComeOutToPlayay · 16/01/2020 17:11

I am bewildered at the appeal of choux pastry. Eclairs and profiteroles don't look like they should taste soggy and damp.

londonrach · 16/01/2020 17:16

In this country op pizza is pretty much cardboard ...in scilly its food for the gods. Cant believe someone hates rocket...someone send me yours. Bananas yuk yuk and that horrible rice pudding thing forced to eat in the 80s with jam at school. Shudder

XXcstatic · 16/01/2020 17:17

I always used to hate chips. I don't mind French fries now, but chip shop-style soggy chips are still

FurrySlipperBoots · 16/01/2020 17:18

Baked beans. I don' think I've ever even had baked beans before but I my stomach leaps about at the very idea. I don't mind beans in chili or whatever, I don't mind the fake tomato sauce stuff as i have Heinz spaghetti etc sometimes, but baked beans in tomato sauce = Envy

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 16/01/2020 17:18

Cream
Goat’s cheese
Any uncooked egg white. Can’t stand those bright orange fried eggs with slimy egg white on top. Properly cooked fried eggs should have pink tops to the yolks.

SpaceDinosaur · 16/01/2020 17:22

I am clearly a glutton, I enjoy most things. 😂

I dislike baking potatoes if they've been microwaved. I avoid ordering them when I'm out because I don't want to risk it!

Things I've eaten that I won't reach for again...
Fish swim bladder... thanks Hong Kong!
Escargot... garlicky firm slime
In fact both of those were super slimy TBH!

Kebabs.
I can't bloody stand the kebabs which are from the elephant leg in the window. The "meat" is just wrong on every level for me! 😂

MyNameHasBeenTaken · 16/01/2020 17:24

Baked. Beans.
Or anything else in that gloopy orange sauce!
Like eating cotton wool. In gloop.

Pavlova31 · 16/01/2020 17:25

Honey.The smell reminds me of wee.

Olives.Horrible slimy things.

Crystal Noodles.Yes they were cooked but were so fine they felt like the texture of eating hair. Yuck !!

Beautiful3 · 16/01/2020 17:27

Honey dew melon smells like bleach to me 🤢

kmc1111 · 16/01/2020 17:29

I love authentic Italian wood fired pizza, but yeah, can’t stand the ‘dump 10 toppings and a whole bag of cheese on a piece of round cardboard’ type pizza’s.

Something I can’t stand is pesto. I don’t know why, I enjoy all the ingredients when used differently, but somehow pesto always makes me feel a bit sick, almost nauseous.

Catapillarsruletheworld · 16/01/2020 17:30

Bananas. I like pretty much everything else.
Oh and tea with milk bleugh!! Why do we as a nation have an obsession with the most disgusting drink ever invented!

VickyManc · 16/01/2020 17:31

@LynseyLou1982

I need to go to this bar.

willowmelangell · 16/01/2020 17:32

I don't like wine or chocolate or chips or cake or biscuits.

butterpuffed · 16/01/2020 17:32

Avocado ~ not sure why certain foods become trendy when they've been around for years.

VickyManc · 16/01/2020 17:33

@willowmelangell

You are very lucky. I bet dieting is easy for you.

Carouselfish · 16/01/2020 17:33

Fruit! It's cold and sticky!

LemonPrism · 16/01/2020 17:34

Artificial mango is the only thing I don't like tbh (other than raw jellyfish that's gross too)

Pavlova31 · 16/01/2020 17:34

Oh yes I second the Kebab Elephant leg dispenser.
Could be any old offal and being so exposed could well have had flies on it.
Slightly off topic.Also artisan markets where all the pastries and breads are laid out unwrapped. Could have been sneezed on and handled by other shoppers. Not to mention attracting flies.

LemonPrism · 16/01/2020 17:34

@lynseylou going to need to know which bar that is please!!

MrsKahlo · 16/01/2020 17:35

You're not alone! I love pizza but one of my colleagues cannot stand it and calls it 'mess on bread' which does make me laugh.

I cannot bear olives or avocado or any kind of nuts, all grim.
