    Fish. It tastes about as bad as it smells (and god does it stink up the place).
    Eggs.
    Peas.
    Avocados.
    Oatmeal.
    Brown rice.
    Water chestnuts. Horrible texture. I always separate them off into their own little corner if I get Chinese takeout.
    Olives. To quote another poster, they taste like salty feet (or what one would assume them to taste like).
    Cucumbers. Only like 'em pickled.
    Tomatoes, with the exception of grape tomatoes. I tolerate them in burgers and sandwiches because the taste mellows out with all the other ingredients. Can't eat them otherwise.
    Black beans. I'm half Cuban, but black beans and rice? No bueno!
    Grapefruit. With all of the above foods, I can see why people would like them. But not grapefruit. Disgusting fruit, among the very worst.
    Yogurt of any kind.

    That's all I can think of for now. :tongue:

    I'm dying with laughter over this thread.

    Anyhoo, I love all the weird healthy stuff like quinoa, beans, kale, etc.

    The only food (besides offal) that I cannot abide is......bananas. Blech. Yet I make my daughter eat them. Go figure.

    I have finally learned to like Brussels sprouts, only by cooking them to kingdom come in the slow cooker.

    Yogurt. To me it is sour curdled milk. Even writing this I feel sick. Ugh.

    Avocado! Everyone raves about it but I just find it pasty and weird.

    KALE!!!! I made the mistake of trying to hide it in my smoothie. I never get to slow down at work because Im an intensive care nurse so I bring a smoothie every night so that I can get some sort of nutrition on my shift. I took one sip of the one I made with kale and insta puked, luckily I made it to the trash can but needless to say I starved the whole night! That stuff taste like a mix of dirt and what I would imagine throw up! I immediately walked in the house and trashed it before I even put my bags and keys down!

    Wow lots in here listed that I don't like either, but lots that I do so that's at least good. Off the top of my head:
    Olives, hummus, sweet potatoes (I want to like them but just..no), celery, cauliflower (though for cauliflower I can eat it if it's mixed with broccoli and cheese, or half and half mash with potato), mushroom unless it's in small amounts like on pizza and I like mushroom soup...:huh: um, avocados, not a big fan..., mustard, watermelon...really any type of melon, I can't get myself to like it. cucumbers, pineapple

    There are probably more but I now also like a lot of things I didn't used to, or some things I like once I've tried them prepared in different ways, I used to hate broccoli now I'll eat it steamed and love it, used to hate peppers, now they're increasingly delicious... Thankfully there are so many fruits and veggies out there that I still like I pretty big variety.

    Cottage cheese/Quark
    Avocados
    Prawns
    Mushrooms
    Swede


    Yukky!

    I really wish I liked cottage cheese or quark but I just can't stomach it.

    Anything made with cauliflower that's not meant to be.

    Cottage cheese. I wish I could eat it, but it's just vile.

    Beetroot - genuinely the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. :laugh:

    Eggs...now scrambled or an omelette is fine. But if the egg is cooked while the egg yolk and white are still separate I won't eat it. I don't like the egg white on it's own, or the yolk. Boiled and then mashed - nope, it was cooked with them separate and tastes of egg yolk and egg white. But I love my scrambled eggs + omelettes :)

    That and mushrooms....oh and maybe some of the offal - I can manage some of it, but really not.

    But I love kale, greek yoghurt, advocados, and all other nice veggies and treats other folks don't seem to like.

    I'm ok with eggs as long as I doctor them first. I have to remove the disgusting little white thing that joins the yolk to the egg like a mini umbilical cord. Then i can eat it!

    Kale chips - they taste like cabbage-scented paper. Also kale in any other form. Anything where cauliflower is the substitute for something yummy, like potatoes or pizza crust. I'm not the biggest fan of raw cauliflower, but it's fine in a stir-fry, a curry, etc. Also cottage cheese, it looks like something that's been regurgitated.

    Thanks MFP friends. Before reading this, I felt hungry. Now I just want to go workout and forget eating anything.

    This thread is fabulous and now I'm hungry for kale and quinoa and mushrooms and cauliflower OM NOM NOM NOM!

    I hate eggplant and radishes. They're not really "popular" healthy foods, though, are they?

    Olives, of both colors. that spinach that supposed to go in salads or whatever? I like the old spinach, all cut up and dark green and drowned in butter with Parmesan cheese... oh yeah lol.

    None of these actually apply to me (except for the yoghurt part...eh :P ) but I felt like this should be here.

    Brussel Sprouts,
    Tomato Soup or plain tomato sauce. If it's one ingredient of a sauce that's fine but plain no thanks.

    I am reading here that people eat kale raw or in chips. Not exactly sure why you would do that. It's not a terrible common food in my country but whenever I ate it it was in a stew or somehow cooked or sauted and I can't remember that it had a very uniqe (i.e. very bitter or otherwise bad) taste.

    Don't care for kale, brussell sprouts or avocado unless it's made into guacamole.

    Avocado. I just can't like it no matter how hard I try.

    Parsnips. Just seeing them on a plate makes me shudder :sick:
    Try roasting them with some sweet potatoes; the flavors complement each other pretty well (and roasting turns down the parsnipiness a bit)

    I can't stand celery. Its so bitter! I also am not a big fan of brussels sprouts. I don't like cottage cheese either. I am trying to overcome my dislike of fish. So far salmon was easy to overcome :)

    based on flavor:
    not much.

    however, i have SERIOUS texture issues:
    cooked greens of any kind
    cooked peppers
    mushrooms of any kind
    quinoa. LOVE the flavor, but i hate the texture. just.. weird...
    fresh peaches, although canned is fine, but they have to be refrigerated
    tuna fish with celery or relish in it
    macaroni salad with the crunchies in
    potato salad with crunchies. (i know those last 2 are not health foods)
    squash of any kind
    eggplant
    fish baked in the oven. unless its fish sticks.


    and probably some more but my coffee hasnt kicked in yet. :)

    Granola!
    It's dry and not worth the calories. Just a lot of carbs that aren't even comforting or filling.

    Read a few pages and nobody has mentioned cinnamon yet.. Maybe it's not real food but I still can't find a way to make it good myself.

    Love Quinoa...it is so versatile and peeled mini carrots are my go-to for sugar cravings.

    I HATE protein bars and shakes. They are disgusting. Pretty much any "Meal Replacement" item makes me want to toss it and grab a big greasy slice of pie

    Humus is also gag worthy and I refuse to eat it.
