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?

Sunday Roast! Any kind of meat or vegetable combination, all equally horrible. I like all of the component parts served in other ways (except cauliflower) but together in a roast they are vile. What's more, I think that most people actually hate Sunday Roast but they are blinded by nostalgia and denial...

I love mushrooms raw or in a sauce, but mushroom soup?🤮

MoaningMinniee · 16/01/2020 17:41

Old gimmer alert... I have realised that our tastes can and do change as we get older. All the mushroom haterz, I loathed and despised them as a child and avoided them until I was twenty something. Then I was invited for the weekend somewhere in the middle of nowhere, turned out the hosts were veggie and dinner consisted mostly of mushrooms... and they were delicious. Meanwhile I've also gone off some things I used to adore, although with Cadbury's chocolate I suspect that's because the recipe went down the pan the moment Kraft bought the company and changed it to more or less pure palm oil and sugar with about one teaspoon of actual chocolate and milk.

Rice Pudding - warm milk makes me want to heave
Boiled or poached eggs - the smell is vile
Most cereals - just like wood shavings
Blue cheese - absolutely awful
Casseroles - usually overcooked mush with little flavour

VioletCharlotte · 16/01/2020 17:42

Ice cream

ilovesooty · 16/01/2020 17:43

I'll join the club of runny egg yolk haters. I cause consternation in cafés asking for well done egg whites with English breakfast. I like scrambled eggs, omelettes, hard boiled eggs.

On my list
Marzipan
Crisps. Everyone else i know likes crisps. I've always hated them.

MoaningMinniee · 16/01/2020 17:45

Oh and same with olives! Yuk yuk yuk as teen. Yum yum yum as adult.

Apparently I adored Marmite as a baby but now cannot abide it or anything else remotely like it, like Twiglets.

PanicAndRun · 16/01/2020 17:49

I love this thread.

I'm a ridiculously fussy person, but I love quite a few of the things listed here (mushrooms,olives, honey, honey dew etc) and ofc pizza. Grin

Made my day.

BarbaraofSeville · 16/01/2020 17:55

I only like fried or poached eggs very runny. So much that I'm prepared to accept a slightly underdone white in order to maximise the amount of runny yolk I get. If the yolk is even slightly set I can't eat it.

I like most other things but can't stand celery and don't really like burgers.

dimsum123 · 16/01/2020 17:59

I hate all things Italian, pizza, pasta, basil, mozzarella, limoncello, risotto etc etc. All vile.

It's all just clever marketing afaic and I have never understood why it's so popular.

alphabook · 16/01/2020 18:02

Chocolate ice cream and chocolate cake. It's almost never chocolatey enough.

SushiForBreakfast · 16/01/2020 18:02

Cheap fatty salami and other cheap meat

ittooshallpass · 16/01/2020 18:12

Rocket
Celery
Sweets
Mint sauce
Vinegar

pigdogridesagain · 16/01/2020 18:14

Completely agree OP, pizza is rank! I can't understand how people enjoy it so much.

MoonbeamsAndCaterpillars · 16/01/2020 18:15

YY re Cadbury's chocolate! It's disgusting now.

I tried their darker milk chocolate and think it was slightly less horrible.

MoonbeamsAndCaterpillars · 16/01/2020 18:17

I don't really eat meat, but I also hate Quorn.

Not a fan of cheesecake either.

Chocolate. Started with realising aged 11 that the Christmas selection stockings with a Galaxy in were a bit shit, then hot chocolates got abandoned in favour of coffee - then I started having to take the taste of Cadbury's away with salt & vinegar Discos and a coffee or Red Bull (lots of very early morning commuting in winter meant I ate breakfast on the platform) then I stopped commuting and didn't have to feed myself solely from what was available at the only shop open at 5.37am. When I tried a piece of chocolate again, I just didn't like it at all and haven't bothered in somewhere around 20 years.

Ice cream. Not keen on sorbets, either. They are both too sweet and the ice cream - and not just the cheap ones, posh ones, too - are just fat and sugar.

Cereal. It's just sugar and reformed sawdust. Refused to eat Frosties or Sugar Puffs as a kid, had a piece of toast every morning before school (unlike 'every normal child', according to my mother), then realised there wasn't that much less sugar in the others on the rare occasions I was in a place where that was all that was on offer. And 95% of the nutrition listed on the back of the box was that provided by the milk, anyhow. I will happily eat porridge made with water, Weetabix with salted butter and, at a push, Shredded Wheat.

I agree with pizza - I make them and calzones when I'm feeling generous and they are very good, apparently - but I'd rather have a plate of good tomatoes sliced up with some mozzarella, some thinly sliced meat, olives, a tiny splash of olive oil and some fresh herbs.

Sponge Cake. I just don't see the point. Why waste flour, milk, eggs and butter by mixing it all together with sugar, just to cover the already overwhelming taste of sugar and fluff with more wasted butter corrupted by more sugar? At least a proper fruit cake tastes good with cheese.

Biscuits. What's the point? Sawdust and sugar - and then you're supposed to despoil a decent cuppa by leaving a layer of sugary grit at the bottom of the cup?

Custard. Meh.

Stuff in breadcrumbs. What's the point? For the manufacturer, plenty - they get to charge top dollar for a teaspoon of scraggy offcuts or the slops from the slaughterhouse and some breadcrumbs. Rather have a piece of fish or chicken. And now, people pay even more to get vague approximations of stuff in breadcrumbs, just so they don't feel as though they're missing out on some of the crappiest food.

I can't eat mango by itself, as it tastes soapy to me - if it's accompanied by other fruits, I can manage it. But I wouldn't choose it. Strangely, mango juice is fine.

Pretty much everything else savoury listed on here (Avocados, olives, egg, blue cheese, etc) are things that make up most of my meals, however. And liking coffee can be a natural thing - although it was very weak and consisted almost entirely of milk, I liked Mellow Birds coffee when I was three.

nixso29 · 16/01/2020 18:27

Anything with Cinnamon in 🤢

angelmum6 · 16/01/2020 18:40

Cheap meat, I don't know how anyone could eat the sausages in cafes, I swap for more bacon every time.

Eggs have to be runny but whites firm, love dippy eggs and poached.

Marzipan 🤢 also any kind of donuts like Krispy Kreme ones or the kind you get from the beach or fair. I do like a jam or custard one though!

Can't stand lamb, when I was younger I thought it smelled like sweaty socks and I've never been able to get over it, much to DH dismay as he loves it.

Kebab meat off the machine that makes it looked like a skinned leg 😰 love a good chicken Shish though!

Can't stand jam.

I LOVE all kinds of food though, we cook a lot of curries, Chinese and Thai food at home. So much flavour and just yum.

I love vegetables which weirds some people out! Never been fussy on that front.

Can't stand watermelon for some reason.

Love seafood, all kinds especially prawns, salmon and calamari 😍

Freeshavocado · 16/01/2020 18:45

Me and DP are going out day drinking in Leeds on Saturday I think we may be starting with a round in cuckoo thanks @Lynsey. Leeds meet up anyone? Grin

Back to the thread though I hate caramel, the only time I'll ever eat it is in an ice cream Mars bar!

ForestYeti · 16/01/2020 18:56

Love all pizza except dominos, overpriced greasy nastiness

PumpkinP · 16/01/2020 19:00

I don’t like pizza either and don’t get why it’s so much money? £20 for a pizza from Pizza Hut or dominos it’s ridiculous, my mum calls them cooked sandwiches

Sienna9522 · 16/01/2020 19:08

Porridge. Avocado. Rich tea biscuits. Custard. Rice pudding. Revolting 🤢

Elle7rose · 16/01/2020 19:23

I third cheesecake- yeuck! I'm a fatty and have tried to like it so many times but just no! Also agree re. olives, pizza is yummy though.

I hate Black forest gateau, courgettes, most non-fish seafood (prawns, lobster, mussels etc.), banana flavoured things (I'm okay with perfectly yellow bananas just don't like the artificial flavouring), blue cheese, cream, olives, very dark chocolate, chocolate cake (it's either too dark chocolatey or too dry), white wine.

RingPiece · 16/01/2020 19:26

Chips. So boring. Even with salt, vinegar, ketchup, etc. Just a hot stick of potato.
