Foods you can't BEAR to put in your mouth

[knottyhair]

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.

Parsnips.

Cauliflower. It is just awful. And cucumber, which has the look, texture and taste of dead toads.

Pork - I suppose it's a Jewish thing. The thought of it makes me heave a little. I'm veggie so don't eat any meat, but no other meat actually makes me feel repulsed when I think about it.

Celery and rice pudding.

Anybody able to enjoy celery must have completely different taste buds to me!!

Can't think of anything apart from Liver and possibly sandwich spread (yes I grew up in the 80's!)

Have to say, I have always loved Rollmops though LisMcA, yum-yum!

Hard boiled egg, egg mayo, scrambled egg, pickled egg. You get the picture!
Frozen mixed vegetables especially with corrugated carrot.
Sweetcorn.
Milk desserts like semolina.
Cream cakes. Apart from eclairs.

Gosh you lot are fussy . I don't LIKE some of the above but for a thousand quid could eat most things. Raw herring with onions (a Dutch staple) and tripe might make me vom but most other things I could eat I think

I really like celery cattleprod, just love the crunchiness of it!

Why all the hate for blue cheese, and mushrooms.....are you all mad?!

Agree that some people are v fussy - lots of things listed on here are my faves.

Not fond of snails though.

I like celery too - particularly with blue cheese spread down the middle. YUMMMMMMMMMY.

Another vote for mushrooms here, in any shape or form. Tomato ketchup on fried eggs makes me retch.

There is very little I wouldn't eat . But for some reason I cannot abide the texture of jelly . Gloopy stuff that slides down your throat ......... bluerrrgh !

"and possibly sandwich spread (yes I grew up in the 80's!)"

Sandwich spread has been around far longer than that. I ate it in the 70s. I can't understand the mushroom dislike. Perhaps it is a texture thing?

Rice pudding, beetroot, dumplings, egg custard. Yeuch to all of them.

Oysters

Cucumber

Watermelon

Natural yogurt

Celery, jam, rice pudding.

thevisitor i'd forgotton that particular horror - ketchup anywhere near egg turns my stomach.

Coconut
pineapple
any shellfish...shudder
celery
offal
liquorice
marmite
mushrooms
any fish except cod (i.e. fishy fish)
spearmint

Soft-fried eggs Can't even watch dh eat them.

Scotch eggs- I can't stop thinking about what might be in them.

ooohhh and poached eggs - blueergh
and sausages - say what you like they are made from toenails and eyelids and thumbs!

Orange segments - fresh or the tinned ones. The thought of it is making me gag.
Cockles.

Agree about the jelly, rice pudding, egg custard, yoghurt...its definately a texture thing with me...

Yoghurt

I think there would not be enough money in the world to make me swallow the stuff.

olives
mushrooms
blue cheese
egg custard
walnuts
marzipan
bountys
