    Corn... Corn bread, ears of corn, canned corn, popped corn...

    Corn in a anything makes me sad and ruins my day

    Tomatoes. I have hated them all my life. Sister Mary Gertrude made me eat them in third grade even though I told her they make me vomit. So I ate two bites and puked on her sensible black shoes. She said I did it on purpose and sent me to the principal! Lol

    Cottage cheese is definitely another one for me. My mom used to love it with pineapple.
    *gag* :D

    My mom used to eat that all the time with pineapples when she was "dieting" yuck!

    I didn't eat cottage cheese for about 15 years after going on a 3rd grade field trip to a manufacturing facility (cottage cheese on that scale smells repulsive!)

    I do eat it now but for some reason I find it gross when others mix fruit into it. A slice of pineapple on top is okay, although if I'm served that I just eat the pineapple immediately to get it off the cottage cheese. I knew a woman who ate cottage cheese mixed with berries or peaches and she would mix to the point it was like peachy pink foam. Gross.

    canned peas- didn't like it then, don't like it now. Fresh peas on the other hand, are GREAT

    I find most canned veggies to be gross. Fresh or frozen is fine with me though.

    Hahaha that’s hilarious! Actually dipping dots are the frozen little balls in a cup. Like ice cream. I think those are candy dots.

    I puked after eating dipping dots. So no bueno.

    I remember dipping dots. Dots of sugar on paper, right? When my cousin, Debbie Sue, was little she was caught eating bird poop off the fence. She thought they were dipping dots. She is 64 now, but, to this day, we still call her Birdie Sue.

    Me and Birdie Sue. Around 1957.

    Ketchup. The smell is offensive to me. I literally gag if I smell it. I don't know why. Breakfast sausage like jc potter or Jimmy Dean made me so sick when I was a kid I have never touched them since.

    Lamb. My grandmother made it every Easter and I hated it. I try it occasionally to see if my tastes have changed, but nope. There's something about the texture that is so off putting.

    Everybody seems to really hate Brussels sprouts and peas! Those are two of my favorite veggies...

    One thing I cannot eat anymore are potatoes (except sweet potatoes). Ate some and threw up. Tried three more times. Threw up all three times.

    Pork chops. That's some prison tray fare.

    I had pork chops tonight for dinner with roasted brussel sprouts.
    I wish I could like brussel sprouts. They are beautiful on the stalk. Why do they taste so bitter though? :s

    The ONLY way I like them is roasted in the oven with Balsamic glaze when done.

    Always been picky, so there are several things I just can't deal with. Cauliflower, lima beans, Brussel sprouts, peas, and bananas are the ones that are most likely to make my stomach churn just thinking about eating them. Oh and gizzard stuff, liver, kidney, heart... icky.

    Tomatoes. Raisins. Bananas. I to this day cannot stand any of them. Over the years I have here and there given them another try just to see if things have changed, but nope. Still hate them.

    Sheep trotters and tripe. Why would anyone choose to eat it?!

    Also, this stuff. tf66lqm6jkio.jpg

    Once when I was 7 or 8, my sister and I ate a whole packet of it between us. Never felt so sick after and never touched the stuff again.

    What is that? It looks like the crystals they use to keep stuff dried out, and I use in my litter box! In which case, yeah, that'd make you pretty sick, lol.

    There is a very long list of meat I've never tried including lamb, liver, bison, duck...so many. I think I had one bite of venison in my teens and didn't like it. I was never much for ribs or steak, either. Hate chicken wings. As a kid I would only eat breast meat which my grandparents saw as a major character flaw, lol (many of my relatives preferred dark meat and the other kids fought over the legs, ewww).

    Now I'm married to a guy who doesn't eat meat and that suits me very well. I haven't had pork or turkey in years and totally fine with it. Even though I DO love (and eat) hamburgers, roast beef, meatloaf, and chicken in Italian dishes or boneless chunks like you get at say, Chipotle (but not chicken on the bone)...I'm like a part-time vegetarian since he does all the cooking & we don't eat beef, pork or poultry at home. I love that he's not pounding on his chest saying "I need some ribeye steak, woman" like the stereotype.

    The only way I can tolerate Brussels sprouts is if they are roasted. Come to think of it most foods I don't like are better roasted!

    Fish Sticks and any fish that might be the type of fish used in fish sticks. Made me sick as a child so I will not eat any fish that could have been used in fish sticks.
