Most hated food

Racouol

I am sure that everyone has a food they hate eating. Some people still eat the foods they hate while others refuse to touch it. What foods do you hate?

I do not consider myself a picky eater at this time. I have tried things that sound and looked disgusting like chocolate meat and I have tried things made from weird ingredients like a protein bar made from ground crickets. I even eat things I use to refuse to eat when I was a child. There is one thing I will not eat and that is chicken. I never liked the taste to begin with but while in the military I stopped eating chicken after the second time it was served to us rotten. Every time I look at chicken I can still taste the rotten meat.

I don't hate any food, but there are some I just can't manage:
Canned corn, peas, mushrooms.
Tomato chunks, seeds and the gel-like goo stuff.
Sauerkraut.
Eggplant.
Avocado.
Grapefruit.
Chickpeas.
Crab.
Maybe a few more. But I'm getting more adventurous.

Licorice
Coconut (in all its disgusting forms)

Otherwise, I am willing to try most things.

I'll basically eat anything (including grasshopper tacos, at least a bite! and lamb brains we got at a French place...very tasty). I'm not sure I've had durian but I'm not sure I can handle the rotten dirty sock flavor/smell its supposed to have. I feel very lucky that I do like most things and don't have issues with texture.

That said, I honestly don't care for chicken either. I'm very jealous of people who just eat it and enjoy it. Regardless, we have it like once or twice a week for dinner. Usually in a soup or with enough breading or sauce to mask the chicken-y taste. But yeah I don't care for just straight chicken, so I've stopped forcing myself to eat it for lunches. Now I make meatloaf or taco meat something with beef or venison.

Yikes on that rotten chicken. That has got to be a pretty bad experience.

My personal nemesis is bananas. I was traumatized by a banana flavored antibiotic sirup as a child (3x a day for 14 days... I was gagging after the first day and hiding underneath my bed by the last). Since then I can't stomach them. I can force them down, but they won't stay down for very long.

It was pretty useful when I was in junior high to get out of the science class right after lunch. I never did get the point of dissecting things to see what they look like inside. I think it was the teacher's favorite pastime as it seems we had that at least once a month. So I always made sure to get a banana for lunch on those days (it's healthy after all... right?), choke it down right before class and let it work its magic. It was far enough in between that the adults didn't seem to make the connection; they all just seemed to assume that I had a very weak stomach and that an afternoon rest was all I needed.

Mom laughed when I told her that recently. She hadn't ever noticed I was using bananas to skip class since my grades never suffered from it, it was rarely on Friday afternoons, and I really did have a weak stomach at the time since we'd just moved continent and I was generally having trouble adjusting to the changed food.

I had something like that when I was a kid too! I remember pinching my nose and screwing my face up. I don't even know what that antibiotic was for. Oh God #memories

Having said that I like bananas and LOVE foam bananas (which are kind of close in taste to that syrup, just... not medicinal).

I can understand why rotten chicken would put you off chicken for life

For me its Rocket and Coriander both just make me gag

livingleanlivingclean

I eat most things, but I'm not a fan of oysters, and muscles remind me of girls bits (although I have eaten them mixed in marinara). I don't do tinned tuna either, or canned protein in general.

I wouldn't eat matcha/green tea desserts. I think it tastes like grass.

Lucky you. Banana's are actually an amazingly convenient food. It comes pre-packaged with an easily disposable wrapper, makes no mess (provided it doesn't get squished) and you can use it in a gazillion recipes. I keep on trying if maybe, just maybe I can manage them, but the wiring in my brain seems to have been permanently messed up by that stuff.

serenity1097

Mushrooms, liver & broccoli

jcraig10

Ketchup.

melaniefay82

About the only foods I don't like are glass grapes and plastic apples.

PEANUT BUTTER. I hate everything about it. The smell, taste, texture. Everything. According to my mom, I've hated nuts since I was a wee baby.

Maybe you can try a different type of banana. If you can get it, get an apple banana

geminiswede

Pickles, olives, mushrooms, beans, mustard, yogurt, anything with vinegar on it. Yuck.

leanjogreen18

Liver, liverwurst, and beet juice. Just discovered I hate beet juice, because I got a juicer for Christmas this year

I'm afraid that counts a specialty food around here and out of my price range.

LAMB. *gags*

I don't like most seafood, most pork, most beef, mushrooms, capsicum, and avocado.

One exception with avocado and beef is when the avocado is made into guacamole and the beef is well spiced and in a burrito.

Oh_Em_Jayyy

Celery. Canned peas. Green olives but loooooove kalamata.

AskTracyAnnK28

I hate onions...and I really, really hate red onions!

amusedmonkey

Lets see..
Steak and and chunk meat
Any kind of meat that isn't muscle
Any kind of meat that isn't cooked in very few particular ways
Bone in chicken, including wings and fried chicken
Any part of the chicken that isn't breast
Chicken with skin on...

You get the idea. I'm very particular about my meat.

I also don't like sweet potatoes and beets.

Everything else I either like, really like or don't mind. Other than meat I'm not a particularly picky eater.

SkyFerret

Cilantro, licorice, regular coffee, and the texture of fat or gristle in meat. Ick.

Also not much of a fan of chicken either. I'll eat it, but I don't really care for it and it has to be pretty heavily flavored to make putting in the effort worthwhile.

Courgettes! Cannot stand them. Especially when they're cooking - even the smell makes me want to vom!

I'm not a fan of most canned vegetables, they just seem to mushy and slimy to me. I'll eat pretty much anything though, if it's the only option. I'm a Boy Scout leader and sometimes at summer camp I have to eat things that I would normally never touch because if I don't eat it I'll end up starving the whole week. Last year it was creamed peas. Seriously, who decided creamed peas was a good vegetable to serve a bunch of teenage boys?
