Do you have a no, never food?

Mine is tongue. Once mistakenly ate a salad with what looked like raw furry bacon bits in it. Was gross. Learned it was cow tongue afterwards.

Other no, never stuff: oysters. Ugh. Did it once, tasted like cold semen.

Snake. I will never knowingly eat snake.

Milk. I refuse to drink milk. Hate it.

Anyone else got no, never, foods or drinks?

Sea urchin.

Tastes of rancid rock pool.

For the record I love oysters, mussels and the like and my fave comfort food is my mum's milky tripe&onion broth!

ImMarmite · 02/02/2014 22:37

Cheese and onion crisps.

I can force down pretty much anything else if I have to (my mum and her "being polite" thing).

But not cheese and onion crisps.

Ummofumbridge · 02/02/2014 23:09

Can't believe nobody has mentioned grapefruit yet! Tastes like ear wax!!!
Gin
Tonic water
Weird offal type meat
Oysters
Fatty meat
Baked beans
Raspberries/blackberries - memories of childhood picking them from bushes and checking for worms and bugs in them... Now I associate them with worminess
An actual raw banana - I like the flavour of them in cakes/curries but I can't bring myself to eat one.. I try occasionally as the DC love them but it's not happening.
Unlike strawberries which I made myself like as I just loved the idea of them!

I love all vegetables although I agree with a pp green peppers can be a bit rank.
I'm really surprised by how many dislike goats cheese. I love it!

verybadhairdoo · 02/02/2014 23:20

brains...eughhhh

thornrose · 02/02/2014 23:23

Butter beans and broad beans, ugh, makes me shudder just typing it, Brussels sprouts and liver. I'm game for most other foods though.

galletti · 02/02/2014 23:26

Tripe. Jellied eels, fish guts or eyes,slimy white bread sandwiches.

galletti · 02/02/2014 23:29

Ooh forgot, hot milk, so custard. and also cold custard stuff, like creme caramel and trifle. Can just about try most other NORMAL food things though.

tothesea · 02/02/2014 23:34

Beetroot = boke. The smell, the texture, the colour..vile stuff.

galletti · 02/02/2014 23:36

Love sushi. Big misconception about it. If you like a bit of rice you will like sushi. It's not all raw fish.

Sunflower49 · 02/02/2014 23:37

Melon-I hate it
Baked beans-remind me of childhood and the sloppy meals my Mother used to make , ugh!

BikeRunSki · 02/02/2014 23:39

Dried coconut,although I 'll eat a Bounty at a push.

trixymalixy · 02/02/2014 23:40

Andouilette. Smells so bad I can't even put it anywhere near my mouth.

SecretWitch · 02/02/2014 23:48

Offal
Berries
Pot roast
Squid
Fish

Skoggy · 03/02/2014 01:20

Mayo (allergic to it anyway)
Swedish Surströmming (Fermented Herring). DP is Swedish. His parents like but you won't see me going near it with a barge pole no matter how long it is!
Horse. DP likes it.
Most seafood. Had an intolerance when I was younger but grew out of it. Will only really eat white fish, salmon and tuna. Not keen on trying anything else. Tried a crab stick the other day... vile!
Defo those Century Egg things from China. Never shall that pass my lips!

Love frogs legs, black pudding, most offal and alot of other things people have mentioned.

Littleen · 03/02/2014 01:21

Quite a few foods, would take far too long to mention all :P

oysters
an animals face incl tongue/eyes etc
shellfish (get sick from them these days. Used to like it)
snails
rabbit (and other cute "pet" animals)
corned beef
spam

AdoraBell · 03/02/2014 03:12

Peppers - give me indigestión, but chilli is okay Grin

Goat's cheese- tastes disgusting To me

Horse- just why would you? although I know someone who does

Offal Envy

OhSoSirius · 03/02/2014 03:57

Mango. Absolutely vile. Mangoes, anything with mango, anything mango-flavored.

I also hate mashed potatoes but I'll choke them down eat them when it's helpfully provided for me as the only vegetarian dish. (More than once! When they knew well in advance!)

MrRected · 03/02/2014 04:34

Surprised how many people hate oysters. I love them and can eat a dozen in a sitting.

Offal on the other hand ........bleughhhhhhh!!!

EugenesAxe · 03/02/2014 04:42

I try to be broad minded about food and as an adult have purposefully weaned myself onto mushrooms, beetroot and swede, because I don't like 'not liking' things.

I think if I'd never eaten something I'd give it a go, but I have to say I'd be happy to make an exception for tripe and tapioca. And yeah those dodgy eggs.

Actually I can think of something - semolina. And tinned pear/fruit tarts covered in gelatine. Too many school traumas with those. I struggle with savoury or unflavoured jellies generally actually; bit of a texture issue for me.

BikeRunSki · 03/02/2014 07:20

Over ripe bananas

atthestrokeoftwelve · 03/02/2014 07:25

tripe
kidney
liver
jellyfish
bees
durian
scorpion
spiders
brain

ThomasLynn · 03/02/2014 08:15

Yoghurt

Looks and smells like a baby's posset.

GhettoPrincess001 · 03/02/2014 09:37

Plain crisps - just greasy and sickly (other flavours ok)
Orange Tango - just too sweet
Anything coffee flavoured - but I drink coffee sometimes, go figure
Ice cream - puts a chill on my stomach and makes me feel sick
Goats cheese - unspeakable
Celery soup - I'm not a big fan of celery.
Desiccated coconut - always tastes dry and stale
Coconut Ice - don't like coconut in the first place, and it's just teeth hurtingly sweet
Kidney - just takes like concentrated piss
Tarragon - just tastes like the smell of stale pants
Asparagus - tastes bitter to me.
Olives - Horrible, I just don't get it. I even wanted to like them so I too could rhapsodise about them. Every one I tried was as bitter and revolting as the others. Green, black, stuffed, flavoured - just don't go there.
