What food do you hate but really thought you would like?

[FabulousBakerGirl]

Me - anchovies.

I love fish but these have put me off food for at least half an hour!!

olives - they look so delicious but taste like shit

Pesto - I really did want to like it but I didn't. Haven't tried it for ages. Perhaps I should give it another go.

Avocado. I really thought I would like it but it has the texture of lard.

Salmon, i know so many recipes that look gorgeous but i just don't like Salmon however many times i force myself to eat it in hope i will change my mind.

Roast beef. It always look so appetising but is, in reality, vile.

Crab and lobster. I really want to like them but I don't. Ditto oysters.

With the salmon recipes I am sure the food would be just as nice with cod or haddock.

Scallops.
They look so good, but bleurgghhh!

Smoke Salmon, I love the look of it and the sound of the dishes made with it, but the taste and texture make me want to throw-up.

also curly kale - feel so virtuous eating it, but it's like chewing a hedge

Avocado.. like hard fat.
Bacon - like chewing someone else's ear lobe.
Caviar - just wet salt.
Champagne - gives people stinky breath

Tomatoes. they look so lovely and juicy but taste like sick. I try one about every 6 months to see if my taste buds have matured but nope, still foul.

And wine. Everyone else loves it, I can't even swallow it. I just don't get it but I wish I did.

Any seafood. I want to like it, and it always sounds nice but just trying it makes me want to puke.

Avocado

All shellfish - especially oysters. I love those big platters they do in French restaurants, but just hate the stuff itself. Oysters are like snot that tastes of the sea as far as I'm concerned.

Guinness - always looks like it will be lovely and rich and creamy and always a disappointment.

Sashimi. I just can't get it out of my mind that's RAW fish. Ditto Steak Tartare...

Halva ?I should like it, I love middle eastern foods, especially tahini, but Halva is just horrible.

I agree with wine as well, yuk, people are quite grumpy with you if you don't like wine i've found. Probably think i'm a philistine.

Avocado
Hummus
Olives
Squid
Oysters
Caviar

Bleurgh!

Oysters and caviar

(I am clearly a prole)

Prawns. I have tried to like them because are healthy and low in fat and you can make stir fry etc but i just cant.

Hummus and pesto.

woodcock. I thought I liked gamey game but this was going too far.

Rabbit. It's yuk and not at all like chicken (as I was told).

Pizza. Or even cutting them up.

Liver. I like chicken livers and pate and am sure I should like Lamb's liver but I tried it again last year and it was so disgusting I spat it out.

Venison. Looks like it should be sooooo nice and tastes yuk.

Had hare once and it tastes like sweaty socks.

Never could stand tomatoes. Or celery.
