    Cauliflower and mushrooms because they seem to be the go-to for making every recipe healthier and/or lower calorie. With mushrooms it's a texture thing, but I despise the flavor of cauliflower with every fiber of my being.

    I wish I liked mushrooms because I'm vegetarian and sometimes the only meatless option at an event or restaurant is mushrooms. I just can't handle their squishy consistency.

    Same here. I can't even touch them, those gills on the underside make me shudder.

    My workmate is also vegetarian and doesn't like mushrooms. Luckily as we work in events we always make sure the vegetarian option isn't a stuffed mushroom or mushroom-based food!

    Coriander....tastes like soap

    Me too, it's genetic!

    Wish I liked avocados and bananas. My family love them both but I find them equally disgusting!

    Yes! I also don't like avos or bananas, it's a texture thing!

    Avocado and yogurt. They seem like great quick foods to get some fats and proteins but I just can't. I don't loathe avocado, it's just kind of "meh" for me, and yogurt... I just can't do it. I gag every time.

    SAME, yoghurt looks delicious and smells delicious but as soon as it's in my mouth I'm like noooo get out!

    Pink-fleshed fish like trout and salmon (though I love other types of fish!) and cucumbers.

    It's often done poorly, but Indian preparations turned me around. Also baba ganoush, and I don't really mind a lasagna with eggplant. Also, I tend to enjoy Japanese eggplants, I think they cook better. That I can enjoy just sauteed more easily.

    I forgot about baba ganoush. I actually do like that. Maybe there's hope! Japanese eggplants, are those the tiny round ones? I've seen them at the market.

    They are longer and skinny (often smaller in general). I think the texture is better.

    Olives. Don't really want to love them. Just see food that looks good--until I see the olives.

    I wish I liked eggs because that's what my mother-in-law cooks anytime we're at her house around breakfast (yes, she knows I hate eggs but that's what she eats and I want to be polite). Plus my favorite breakfast place has so many amazing meals with sides that I love but they all come with eggs. I ask for a fruit cup instead so it works out but I do have to pay extra for the substitution. I also wish I liked mustard because SO many times they have sandwiches at work or at friends' parties, and they are amazing until I get a bite with mustard in it.

    Spicy food. Why do I wish I didn't? So many restaurants have a lot of spicy options. Its hard to order wings because the sauce is always spicy. The worst thing is ordering something and finding out after tasting it that its too spicy. Besides that, I will eat almost anything! Lol

    Yes, I also don't like olives. Every now and again i try them to see if I still dislike them.

    Hot spices. They literally burn my mouth so it hurts and I can't taste anything. My sister has the same reaction!

    Greek yogurt...::shudder::
    Also, mayo, sour cream, cream cheese...all ick. Completely unpalatable.

    I’m vegetarian, so anything else that restricts my choices when out is unfortunate.

    1. Canned tuna. I am a seafood lover. I’ll basically eat any seafood except the most simple one. Seems so easy and on the go convenient. I just can’t. Always makes me think of cat food.
    2. Oatmeal. My friends claim it keeps you full for a long time. The maple brown sugar one smells amazing. The texture makes me think of vomit. Can’t do it.

    Tofu. Texture is nasty.

    Freezing tofu changes the texture in a way that some people think is "meatier." There is also silken tofu, which is very soft and can be pureed to make smoothies, puddings, even things like eggless quiche. It's not really meant to be used for things like stir-fries. If you don't like the standard water-packed tofu texture, you might like one of those options.

    Cilantro.

    It tastes like Palmolive liquid dish soap. I understand it tastes 'citrusy' and 'bright' to others; that does not change the fact it tastes like Palmolive liquid dish soap to me in any way. I can handle a little cooked these days in some very select dishes but I still cannot deal with raw at all.

    Anything soya based.

    Oh, wait a minute...no I don't.
