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.

tinned mushy peas

Baby vegetables. They taste of nothing and they are very small. The opposite of what you want in a food.

Quorn and eurgh! Textured Vegetable Protein.

But then I love liver, kidneys, oysters and bitter leaves and I truly think Heston is a genius. There were two things on his menu that made me CRY because they tasted so beautiful. Ponce, anyone?

HappyDaddy, toast them and salt them and eat them with beer.

I love toasted and salted pumpkin seeds... my staple snack as a child.

All that grief? I'll have a bag of peanuts, instead please.

oh no, I used to buy them already toasted and salted at the greengrocer. (but that was in italy).

Spaghetti hoops, or indeed anything pretending to be pasta in a tin.
Ditto bangers'n'beans in a tin
Celery in any shape or form, much worse if cooked (barf)
Mushy peas
Meat in general, but in particular offal of any sort and the smell of lard (frying bacon - heave heave heave)
Jelly
Jellied eels (never eaten them but just one glance does it for me)
White bread but only from supermarket sandwich loaves (aka polystyrene). Crusty white bread from a bakery is sometimes quite nice.
Awful pork paté my DP eats, it looks and smells like cat food, so much so that my drugged-by-Whiskas cat will actually go and steal some. Both of them will then fart poisonously the next day, which makes you wonder what's in them....

peanuts

you spend the next fifty yuears przing them out of your teeth

Not if you swallow them, np...

corned beef
mushy peas
watery ham
jellied eels (eeeuuwwww)
tinned pasta
any offal
stuffing
etc etc etc

you swallow them whole...?

sometimes, yeah.

oh Brangelina your list is almost identical to mind. Obviously a woman of great palate.

celery.

why oh why oh why?
smells bad
no calories
enough said

ooh youre so manly...

Oh, you...

i like pistachios but the greeness puts me off

cashews too, although they are slightly bland

Can't eat any nuts apart from peanuts. All taste like cardboard.

Inanidealworld - does your DH/DP (and possibly cat) eat the same poisonous paté too? On the other hand, someone must, they're nearly always sold out at Lidl. Ugh

id rather have a packet of crisps

How unhealthy, np!

actually id rather have bombay mix

or niknaks MMMMMMM

one thing i hate is these cheesy balls. also wotsits and quavers

dh cant eat scampi fries as he says they smell like an unwashed fanny

no woman likes cheesy balls.

Have you asked dh how he knows what an unwashed fanny smells like?

i just asked him to confirm it wasnt mine

(and he did) but i didnt ask him how he knew exactly no
