For me it would be prawns, beetroot or anything flavoured with honey.

My SIL is super, super, super fussy and her husband is a vegetarian who only eats dairy and omlettes (doesn't actually eat veges) and there's no politeness when they come for tea

mushrooms - yuck

pickie · 12/05/2008 21:51

most offal, only would eat sweetbreads
aubergines, brussel sprouts, marrow,
sauce Hollandaise and eel

Runny egg white - can't even think about it without heaving.
Anything made with milk with skin on - bleeeuuuurghhh.
These are the only things I don't like though.

venison

lilolilmanchester · 12/05/2008 21:55

nothing at all - so if you'd ever like to invite me, I'm the perfect guest!

PeaGreene · 12/05/2008 21:56

Am astonished at how fussy some people are, this is amazing!

I'd turn down testicles, eyes, brains, etc, and possibly foie gras (but the latter only on principle and I don't know anyone who would serve it anyway.)

Am amazed by how mnay people are turning down perfectly normal veggies. I don't like celery but could manage if real politeness was called for.

LOL at potnoodle - what sort of dinner parties do you go to?

kitson08 · 12/05/2008 21:57

Liver

Brangelina · 12/05/2008 21:59

Nooooo, cooked celery is the devil's work. I could manage raw celery if needs be but the cooked stuff goes beyond the call of duty.

I also hate any drinks with a bitter taste, like Campari. It's like drinking earwax. Ugh!

BigBadMouse · 12/05/2008 22:05

Marmite - although hopefully not likely to be served at a dinner party - I just couldn't hide the wretching!

SlackSally · 14/05/2008 00:09

Wow, some people are incredibly fussy.

I'd tell ye all to sod off and have a sandwich.

purpleduck · 14/05/2008 00:32

jaynz faggots are meatballs made from innards - heart, liver etc.

YUK!!!!!

wrinklytum · 14/05/2008 00:37

Snails
Shellfish
Offal

TattooedGrrrl · 14/05/2008 14:12

mushrooms in any form.

kidneys, heart or liver.

very rare meat.

runny eggs.

kayzisexpecting · 14/05/2008 14:13

Most shellfish, bananas, liver, sweetbreads and tripe.

Probably other stuff too.

TattooedGrrrl · 14/05/2008 14:16

and oysters- they look like phlegm.

i like faggots though with mash and veg.

lljkk · 14/05/2008 14:19

Vanilla, coffee-flavoured anything. I detest both flavours.

All the gross animal bits people have mentioned earlier (although strangely enough, I would give stuff like ants, haggis and worms a go).

JonesTheSteam · 14/05/2008 14:26

Not sure I could manage things like mussels or oysters.

Pretty much ok with anything else tho.

Thankyouandgoodnight · 14/05/2008 19:35

Goat's cheese
Oysters & giant clam things that are the size of snails.
Snails.

princessmel · 14/05/2008 19:39

mushrooms
shellfish
Liver and other similar things

brimfull · 14/05/2008 19:40

I don't like offal but tbh I have had it ingrained in me from childhood to eat whatever I am given,so I couldn't turn away anything at a dinner party .
I am far too polite.

micci25 · 14/05/2008 19:42

liver, kidney and haggis! oh and spam, i dont really know what offal is but probably that too

jaynz · 14/05/2008 21:08

ooh, faggots sounds disgusting, Got to add that! How could anyone turn down shellfish, it's my favourite
