What food do you just not get?

[Bucketsofdynomite]

And not Marmite cos that's too obvious
I don't get why people bother buying mild cheddar, it's such a false economy - nothing you make with it is going to taste of cheese.

offal
blue cheese
swede
fish roes

Oh, and walnuts (smell like sick )

Polenta. Really don't like it.

I'm another who doesn't get lettuce. Dreadful stuff - it's like munching on grass. I don't get cucumber or celery either. Yuk.

And mushrooms .

I once went camping with friends and we had a "I'm a Celebrity" theme to the weekend. We all had to do bushtucker trials. Mine was to eat a mushroom. I couldn't. I heaved, gagged and felt sick. Our friend's daughter had to eat a cream cake and she was much the same. Dsd had to run round the campsite in a dress .

Licorice. How a slowly-roasted turd would taste.

scallops. Prawn testicles?

Popcorn - pointless tasteless cardboard.

mayonnaise

seafood
German sausage
Fried eggs (love boiled or scrambled, though, when not pg)
radishes
kebabs
cabbage - except red cabbage, which I love when cooked slowly with onion, apple and sultanas.

raw oysters - ugh
tripe
eel

But then I really don't do any slimy food...

oh, and camembert/brie. Just don't get why so many people love it.
celery is pretty pointless too.

Soup
Tinned soup of any sort - ewwww
carton stuff is just about edible and fresh homemade is just a bit more edible but certainly never my food of choice.

Gravy (yes even nice home-made stuff)- yuk yuk yuk)

Beetroot in any form

oysters (almpost all other seafood cooked or raw is good - just not oysters)

pickled chicken hearts (yes I was served this delicacy once, for breakfast, in another country and I had to eat the whole plateful to be polite.

Indian

also baby bel cheese - muck.
and dh eats biltong (he was born in SA, its like leather. Dirty leather.)
I have never understood fizzy water...now that is like alkaseltzer, awful.
I love a good tonic water...esp. with a little gin in, though

roast lamb, memories of cold congealed fatty lunch my stepmother would make

Dylan Moran... ooh... thought I was the only one...

Mouldy frickin cheese must be added to my list. No furry food thanks.

Mushrooms - why? They squeak when you bite them, taste of manky smoke and look burnt. What's the point?

Melon and Cucumber- its just water.
Mushrooms- well its fungus FGS.
Mouldy cheese- I like Brie but not the fusty white bit around it.
Seafood- Anything other than a nice bit a white fish is just too fishy for me.
Fizzy plain water- yukk.

And Nuts, Parmesan and Celery are just bogging .

Sweetcorn.... it comes out the same as it goes in! Whats the point?????!!!!!

LOL at sweetcorn .

ham in jelly. shudder.

Celery here as well. It's evil and shouldn't be allowed.

HappyDaddy, tell me more about mushrooms. DS complained recently about "the black bits" in the completely delicious casserole I'd made. I knew he wasn't keen on mushrooms but I thought I'd chopped them small enough to be ignored. But he still complained about them for being squashy. What's that about?

Does no-one else hate rhubarb??? (Apologies to the MN member of that name!) It takes the enamel off your teeth & tastes revolting. Tofu's fine if it's properly marinaded (although my ds eats it raw!) & good for you as full of protein, calcium & no fat. Synthetic foods: Pot Noodles, cheese strings, anything with aspartamine in, those bright blue Slush Puppies.... at least rhubarb is a pretty colour... Squid (aka rubber bands), slimy seafood in shells, tinned pilchards (I remember having to crunch up all those bones
