Foods you normally like, but not in other dishes

[xsquared]

For me it has to be raisins or sultanas in savoury dishes or any containing a sauce.

Raisins in flapjack - Yes, please.
Raisins in apple crumble or fruit stew - No thanks
Raisins in curry or morrocan stew - Absolutely not.

Another one is banana milkshake or banana custard.
Banana with rice cakes or on its own before a run - Yes.
Banana in banana cake - definitely Yes.
For some.reason, I just don't like it when it's whizzed with vanilla ice cream and why ruin a steaming pot of luscious custard with banana?

Almonds - love eating a whole Almond but anything else, e g flaked, marzipan, even the smell of shampoo etc makes me retch.

Cherries - love fresh cherries, hate any cherry flavoured things as it all tasted of almond to me.

As you can imagine, a Cherry Bakewell is absolute food hell for me.

Having preferences isn't being fussy though. Surely you must have foods that you don't like or think are weird to eat together?

Raw tomatoes 🤢 cooked fine
Nuts=savoury not sweet

Lemon in a G&T or in a diet coke - YES
Lemon cake - YES
Lemon and sugar on pancakes - a classic!
Lemon chicken - No way
Lemons in a tagine - absolutely not

All parsnips are like farts.
I can only eat them if they're hidden in a casserole.

Same with the boozy chocolates. Love all kinds of alcohol but having it inside a chocolate is absolutely vile!

All chocolate = great
All fruit = great
Fruit with chocolate and you ruin both.

I was coming on to say the absolute opposite. Love steak, chips and peas. Hate it when peas turn up in a risotto or shepherds pie.

Olives as part of a charcuterie board or snack. 😋
Olives in a pasta, or as a pizza topping or cooked in a casserole 🤢

Also love an avo but not warm or cooked like in a toastie or wrap. Some things should be served cool not warm.

I agree that warm/ hot avocado is just plain wrong!!

I wouldn't have thought about it till you said it though, and I can't think of anything else that I'll eat one way, but not another?!

I don't personally agree with anyone else else's (for me)

I don't eat fish/seafood, but I half agree with the poster who doesn't like it with cheese!! I definitely agree with that in most any other way, but I think a cheese sauce would be fine

I love Baba Ghanoush but cannot abide aubergine.

Sausages love them
Bacon love it
Pigs in blankets 🤢

I'm the opposite, raw bananas absolutely not. Banana milkshake, banana cake, even foam bananas - yes please.

My husband is similar. Loves a steak. Loves bacon. But a fillet wrapped in bacon? No thanks.

Love bananas, love custard, bananas in custard is an abomination.

Love hummus, love caramelised onions, caramelised onions in hummus should be illegal.

Lemons in anything - delicious.
Lemon with pasta - absolutely not.

Glacé cherries in fruit cake - yes.
Glacé cherries anywhere else - foul.

Medjool dates as a snack - delicious.
Stealth dates in a sticky toffee pudding - bleurgh.

Vegetables in a meal yes
Vegetables do not belong in cakes!

Another one who dislikes fruit in savoury dishes -no to pineapple for sweet and sour!

Peas on their own, lovely. Peas in things (pasta, risotto, rice), disgusting. I wish people would stop putting peas in paella - it’s an abomination!!!

Cinnamon in a cake or pudding - yes please
Cinnamon in porridge - lovely
Cinnamon in a savoury dish - no thanks.
Lots of chilli recipes have cinnamon in and it just makes it taste like dessert to me.

Salmon in a fish cake/fish pie.- yes
Salmon of any type on its own - absolutely not

Almonds - yes
Almonds in frangipane - yes
Almond marzipan - 🤮

Cooked sausages (well done) nice. Cooked sausages (basically boiled) in stew - boak.

I love bananas in banoffee pie, banana loaf, etc. I can’t even cope with the smell of ripe bananas, never mind eat one!

Fresh pineapple ✅
Pineapple upside down cake ✅
Pineapple on pizza 🤮
Pineapple on gammon🤮

Oranges ✅
Roast duck ✅
Duck a l'orange 🤮

Cooked apples in pie or crumble ✅
Pork with apple sauce 🤮

So no to fruit and meat combinations here. Also agree that ginger is only nice in savoury dishes not biscuits and cakes.

Alcoholic drinks ✅
Alcohol in any sort of pudding = completely ruined.

Tomatoes raw ✅
Tomato based sauces ✅
Tomatoes roasted or grilled and served with cooked breakfast, steak etc - no thanks.
