    Krispy Kreme is gross. No texture, way too much sweet.

    Hershey's chocolate smells like vomit and looks like wax.

    do you agree?

    I'd raise the 100 Grand bar to post tertiary and lower the junior mints to second or third tier but I hate mint and I'm being generous there. :)

    The best part of cucumber tastes like the worst part of watermelon.

    Then this might be triggering for you.

    I thought it was fabulous, and bought two more bottles. One of my friends hated it, found it way too sour.

    I think cucumber is one of the essentials, personally.

    I’ll kick it off: I think Girl Scout cookies taste disgusting.
    I think homemade versions of S.C. cookies are much tastier and healthier.

    I'd try that! I still eat cucumber (had some last night!) for micros but I just think it's a crappy tasting food lol

    Agreed. But peanut M&Ms are good.

    Peanut M&Ms are awful! So are the peanut butter ones and I love peanut butter.

    M&M minis are BEST ( not that any are worth it to eat IMO)

    I don't like the peanut butter ones. I don't like the peanut ones enough to buy them (and I am so not into Halloween candy that I've had the leftover ones -- the ones I like best, as that's what I bought -- since last Halloween and have never been tempted), but a coworker had the peanut ones (the only good ones) at her desk (for others to take) and if I started taking them I kept coming back, especially when there on the weekends, back in the day. NO issue with the regular, which suck.

    at my old office they ALWAYS had costco bags of peanut and peanut butter M & m's and I way overdid it... but the Mini's.... those are the best

    Agree 100%, I'd be hard-pressed to choose between peppermint/chocolate and peanut butter/chocolate!

    If you're an adult, you should grow up and eat foods you don't love because of their nutritional value. Sure, have some treats but if you always eat for enjoyment, you're losing enjoyment in other areas of life.

    What if one actually enjoys plenty of highly nutritious foods, so one does not have to "eat foods you don't love" in order to have a good, nutrient-dense diet? I always find it weird when people suggest that eating a healthy diet requires not enjoying everything they eat. Personally, I love most veg, when properly cooked, fruit, and plenty of protein-rich foods, among other things, and I assume that's true for most of us adults.

    Definitely disagree but that’s why you posted here. I would NEVER ever eat anything I don’t like or waste calories on things I don’t like. I can say I absolutely love 100% of my food or I would not eat it. I eat a lot of high nutritional value foods like zucchini, broccoli, radishes, tomatoes, onions, cauliflower, lettuce, veggies of all kinds, fruits etc because I crave them and think they taste wonderful.

    Candy apples are gross and hard to eat. I have a small mouth and can’t eat apples unless they are cut up anyways lol.

    Tilapia is nasty!

    I know fishermen who refuse to eat tilapia. They find it in the nastiest, dirtiest water.

    Donuts make me gag. Even just the smell of them when walking past a bakery makes my stomach turn.

    I quite like the smell, but doughnuts are never a thing I crave - haven't had the desire to eat one since being a kid...and even then, I never ate them then either lol!

    This.

    I never eat anything I don't truly enjoy (at least when I'm preparing my own food and I'm not a guest). If there is a nutrient-rich food I don't enjoy, I can always find another food I like that is a good source of that nutrient. I don't see it as an either/or.

    I think bell peppers are gross they taste like watery soap
  • Posts: 13,259 Member

    It's like you've plunged a knife into my soul with those words. I can eat the crap out of some peppers. Love them!

    love red, yellow and orange ones too...except I can not tolerate the green ones in the least!

    Green ones are only good for cooking the heck out of them with onions and garlic and sausage or steak.

    I quite enjoy bell peppers (of all varieties), but I admit my eyes nearly bugged out of my head when my cousin's husband asked me one day, "Do you know how to eat a bell pepper?" and then took a whole green bell pepper (stem in tact and all) and bit into it like one typically would bite into an apple. :D

    Adding to my previous comment, my cousin's husband's method of eating bell peppers looked somewhat like this:
