  1. Liver/kidney/offal in general
  2. Kidney beans. in fact any kind of bean except baked beans.
  3. Woolly, dry apples, as opposed to crisp juicy ones.

Celery's got such a strong chemically taste though. DP loves it, I hate it, unless cooked.

!. Coconut - especially desiccated, you might as well eat sawdust!

  1. Celery - quite agree with Lady of the Flowers - eeeuuurrgghhh!
  2. Blue cheese - this is something I wish I liked, but I'm afraid it always tastes of, errmm...mould!

However I love olives, and can't believe how many people hate them!

My ds (nearly 7) loves olives too, and also gets very excited about Brussels sprouts and cabbage.

LyraSilvertongue · 25/11/2007 20:12

I'm pleased to see other people can't stand beans too. Mushy, bitty little feckers

celeriac
mussels

Jojay · 25/11/2007 20:18
  1. Eggs - in any form. Bleurrgh
  2. Smoked Salmon - slimy and horrid. In fact lots of seafood is slimy and horrid too.
  3. Olives. Eeeewwww.
rosybud · 25/11/2007 20:21

Gawd, reading all these lists makes me hungry! Roast potatoes? cream? what's not to like??
Am struggling to think of 3

Baked beans
Offal
Sardines

LyraSilvertongue · 25/11/2007 20:27

goat or blue cheese
bread and butter or summer pudding (slimy bread)

LyraSilvertongue · 25/11/2007 20:31

smash potato stuff
corned beef

Like pretty much everything else. I would probably eat corned beef if it wasn't the bright pink tinned stuff.

Lazarou · 25/11/2007 20:43

liver
any smelly or strong cheese - stinking bishop-bleugh!!!!
creme brulee - like eyeballs and snot

Lazarou · 25/11/2007 20:44

creme caramel rather

SheepishPeachesMcLean · 25/11/2007 20:46

Celery (evil)
Molluscs
Liver

FeelingOld · 25/11/2007 20:52

I too hate celery, I also hate liver (well any offal) and cockles (and mussels, whelks etc)

Mercy · 25/11/2007 21:02

yes, double yuk to dessicated coconut and also tapioca. ughhhhh.

Also sashimi: had 1 good experience, 1 bad.

Have never tried the following and very much doubt I ever will

Snails
Raw oysters
Steak Tartare (it's the raw egg which puts me off, raw-ish beef is fine though)
Octopus

LyraSilvertongue · 25/11/2007 21:04

I tried snails once. They were gritty and chewy and they had to use an awful lot of garlic butter on them to make them edible.

OP posts:
Mercy · 25/11/2007 21:08

That's exactly how I imagine them to be, Lyra.

Rubbery and slimey at the same time One mihgt as well eat worms and (my number one hated creature) slugs
