Foods you can't BEAR to put in your mouth

I wondered what other people's idea of nightmare food was. What would trigger your gag reflex if you tried to eat it? Particularly everyday sort of stuff. I could not eat, if you offered me a thousand quid, egg white or cottage cheese. I can do meringue, and scrambled egg as long as you can't see the white, but if I have poached/boiled/fried egg, have to cut every bit of white off. Friends say I'm weird.

Olives, raw mushroom (gagging just typing the words), oysters, stilton cheese.

TattyCatty · 10/04/2011 17:41

Banana - work of the devil.

feedthegoat · 10/04/2011 17:42

Tuna, salmon (both just smell like cat food to me!) and mushrooms.

poptyping1 · 10/04/2011 17:46

Mushrooms in any forms yuck!

LisMcA · 10/04/2011 17:48

baked beans
any slimey green veg (mum wasn't the best cook when I was growing up!)
I cant do eggs unscrambled either OP, omlettes are fine too. We can be weird together
pickled onions, can't do the crunch
bananas
grapes, can't pierce the skin, if they peeled I'm ok, but can't find anyone to do it for me!!

There are more, i can't think right now

Prawns.

Can't even touch the evil little buggers, barely even look at 'em.

Celery tis the most vile thing.

strandednomore · 10/04/2011 17:57

I absolutely hate the taste of coriander but will eat it if I have to to be polite.

Not sure I could eat liver unless it was very heavily disguised.

Carrotsandcelery · 10/04/2011 17:58

Any sort of meat or fish would have me heaving just seeing it on my fork. Bleurgh!

usualsuspect · 10/04/2011 17:59

Bananas
celery

LisMcA · 10/04/2011 17:59

Oh yeah Liver Yuk!
Rolmops (I think they are cod roe or somehting like that! Dad was very into fishy things!)
Gag gag gag gag

TrinityIsABunnyMunchingRhino · 10/04/2011 18:00

erm cannot bear...well I reckon Heinz vegetable salad

anything else I would probably be able to put in my mouth without retching

not sure for how long though

Littlefish · 10/04/2011 18:00

Runner beans.

The thought of them squeaking on my teeth makes me gag.

EvenLessNarkyPuffin · 10/04/2011 18:01

(When I ate meat) raw/blue/rare/not cremated meat

stillbroody · 10/04/2011 18:01

Prawns

Prinnie · 10/04/2011 18:04

mayonnaise - I don't trust the way it moves.

culturemulcher · 10/04/2011 18:06

sprouts - aka little balls of bleugh
liver
egg white
raisins in anything savory - why would anyone do that? why? why?

JuicyOlive · 10/04/2011 18:08

Genuinely lolled at the suspiciously moving Mayo.

Oysters, tripe, fat from roast ( but oddly love crackling), blue cheese, the jelly bit on a pork pie, offal.

usualsuspect · 10/04/2011 18:09

oh your name reminded me

olives

MegBusset · 10/04/2011 18:09

Not food but I can't bear those wooden chip forks you get at the chippy, makes my teeth itch just thinking about them
