One thread didn't seem enough to get across just how VILE Parma Violets are.

I'd rather eat floury, talc-flavoured, pebbles from the back of my granny's wardrobe.

YUK.

They are yummy yum num num, brings me back to a bygone era.

MmeGoblindt · 28/10/2009 20:42

How can you not like tea?

EsmeWeatherwax · 28/10/2009 20:44

One of my friends told me that Parma violets were invented by a paedophile, as if you needed another reason to hate them! They are vile...

I've had blue cheese ice cream once, on holiday in Guernica (no it wasn't a dream). It should have been awful but was actually OK.

lindsaygii · 28/10/2009 20:45

Oysters are great.

Whelks are like eating typing rubbers. Disgusting.

YANBU they taste nasty, I love the smell of them though.

Fleecy · 28/10/2009 20:46

Am feeling bleurgh at the thought of blue cheese ice cream but stand proudly by my sprout-loving declaration!

Never tried tripe though...

Fruitbatlings · 28/10/2009 20:47

Tea is over-rated

ChickandDuck · 28/10/2009 20:47

YABU

Small Parma Violets - lovely
Big ones - passable, but nowhere near as nice
Tea - essential
Oysters - wonderful
Whelks - like eating rubber bands with vinegar

Crackopenthebaileys · 28/10/2009 20:52

fruitbat your bleurgh list looks divine to me (
apart from the liqourish vomit)

AllGoneSouth · 28/10/2009 20:53

Parma Violets = meh

Sprouts = boak

anything fishy (other than salmon or a nice battered cod from the chippy) = double boak

Tea = horrid stuff, can't even stand the smell .

cakeywakey · 28/10/2009 20:54

YANBU - you are just big, fat wrong

Sweeties that taste like perfume - yum! I love Parma Violets.

TheBlairSnitchProject · 28/10/2009 20:55

Smell of tea makes me feel quite queasy too - as for coffee, that makes me actually sick!

We have neither in our house.

Parma violets are always welcome though

AllGoneSouth · 28/10/2009 20:55

Oh and I forgot:

Licorice/turkish delight/coconut = vom

Fruitbatlings · 28/10/2009 20:57

lindsaygii · 28/10/2009 20:58

Crackopenthebaileys · 28/10/2009 21:11

omg lindsay swore! Take it back!

lindsaygii · 28/10/2009 21:20

Not just Baileys either - what's that Coconut one? And the banana one. There are so many DISGUSTING liqueurs I might have to eat some Parma Violets to get the taste out of my mouth!!

MALIBU

Fruitbatlings · 28/10/2009 21:23

anything aniseedy is downright wrong

Fruitbatlings · 28/10/2009 21:24

cumin needs to be abolished too
Why do people feel the need to put cumin in everything?

cakeywakey · 28/10/2009 21:29

Ha ha, Fruitbatlings, my DH works with a load of men who can be very puerile. They would disagree about banning cumin because they can have carrot and cumin soup for lunch and tell people that 'it's got cum in'
