    Raw meat in any form is disgusting.

    Why?
    Did you ever have a properly made steak tartare or carpaccio?

    I have tried both of those at nice restaurants and I stand by what I said. Disgusting. Sashimi is vomit inducing. Raw meat is also dangerous. I learned this in parasitology class and in my medical practice.

    Raw meat grosses me out too. I like raw fish though!

    Adore sashimi. Good carpaccio is nice too, although not as delicious to my palate. Otherwise medium rare to rare is the best way to cook meat (well, not chicken or pork, which is to be cooked medium or until it's properly done), and I judge those who want meat cooked too much.

    I’ve never had a sweet tooth even when I was a little kid. I’m weird and lucky in a way because I find chocolate and deserts dry and bland 😂. Unfortunately tho, my cravings for salty foods is still there so that’s why I try to curb

    I loveeeee the taste of Stevia and artificial sweeteners too. I always am excited when bars use stevia as the sweetener. When quest changed the bars from using all stevia to other forms they were never the same.

    seems a little unpopular, but the quality of your calories actually DOES matter.

    Chickpeas/garbanzo beans have a terrible texture, no flavor, and I don't know why so many people like them. They taste like sawdust to me.

    Except in hummus...hummus is good.

    Ratatouille. It's hard to spell and it has eggplant in it.

    Almond milk ruins a cup of coffee. Soy or oat milk are better when one oughtn't just break out the cream!

    I hate steak. No matter how great it’s cooked. But I do love liver!

    I hate mayonnaise.

    Actually, I am not keen on egg in all its forms unless it is well disguised, for example in cakes. While it easy to simply not eat them it is hard to find pre-made sandwiches which are not ladled with mayonnaise. Fortunately, working from home and even more so with the pandemic, I don't have much need of sandwiches on the go at the moment.

    Almost ALL prepackaged " treats" ( cookies, candy, etc) in regular grocery isles isa complete waste of calories. The only good treats are homemade

    Tomatoes are gross. Salt is awful (Pepper all the way). And there is always too much butter on everything.

    not a fan of tomatoes either(unless it's in a salsa or sauce, etc), but salt is THE thing that makes the meal...desserts too. There are so many amazing kinds too:))

    Most store-bought, shelf stable pickles (the kind you find in the center of the grocery)... i.e. Vlassic, etc. are terrible. The only kind worth buying are the fresh, snap in your mouth varieties.

    Black jellybeans are awesome, Licorice is awesome. Nuts should not be in in chocolate unless they are nut butter. Pizza is sickening except white pizza, pasta and bread are a waist of calories and if you do have spagetti or pasta its only good with butter, no tomato.
    Funny thing is I am Italian! Cake is only good as batter. Uncooked. The frosting is what matters.
    Carnival food is the worst and is directly from the devil 😂

    Pasta, pizza, risotto, and breads do not make you fat---it's the quantities and the heavy sauces.

    I am with you in the cake! Homemade baked goods are only good prior to going in the oven.

    Wow, you're like the anti-me. They say everyone has a twin out there somewhere, but apparently, everyone has an exact opposite as well. I strongly disagree with each and every thing you listed. :D

    I had to laugh at this, especially when I saw it was you because I love all the desserts you post on the no calorie thread! Totally agree licorice is awesome, fennel is the perfect combo of veggie and anise! Prefer no nuts in chocolate too though chocolate and nut butter's one of my favorites. I used to hate tomato sauce and only eat pasta with butter and cheese (Spaghetti Factory's brown butter and mizithra cheese was my favorite thing to eat and I still love it), would pick white pizza or pesto pizza over tomatoes though heirloom tomatoes on it would be great. Frosting rocks over cake any day, I'll eat people's leftover frosting if I can get away with it and not look like a pig, never met the "it's too rich for me" frosting and I took cake decorating classes for half a year. Having your own bowl of buttercream frosting is dangerous!

    Heh, I'm with you, except that for me bread can be (but certainly isn't always) wasted cals, and I don't think I even really know what carnival food is (I dislike cotton candy, if that's what is being discussed).
