    im with op, carrots are narly, unless cooked with a roast (in the dish with the beef/pork)

    i also hate onions that are still crunchy, once they get soft the flavour isnt as strong i find

    cooked peas, love them right out of the pod with a bit of salt though

    grapefruit, raw tomatoes, raw peppers, raw celery, pickles

    oddly enough i just realize raw tomatoes and onions are on my list but i love bruschetta

    I'm amazed at what some people hate to eat. O: I could never imagine myself without some dishes like fruit, seafood, etc.

    I'm not a raw carrot fan, and I detest okra. Yuck. Egg plant is also really gross.

    Celery.

    Screw celery.

    I can tolerate it in beef stew or soups or something, but raw? Oh hell no. It's like gnawing on grass. I'd seriously have to have like two cups of peanut butter to choke it down.

    Only 1????? That is my problem I don't like a lot of fruits and vegetables. I don't like cauliflower or broccoli (unless it is cut up really small).

    I really wish I could learn to stomach fish and bananas (not together :tongue: ). I have tried over my lifetime and they both make me gag.

    With fish it is the taste. I grew up in a house where we had to eat the same as everyone else so I would eat fish sticks like the rest of the family but only if I soaked them in lemon juice. As I got older. I would try different types of fish prepared different ways and never could do it.

    With bananas it is the taste and texture. No matter what they are in, I can still pick out the banana flavor which, to me, permeated everything else.

    Raw tomatoes and canned/cooked peas. Love tomatoes stewed and on veggie burgers but just not raw. And I love peas raw but not canned or frozen and then cooked haha.

    Peas...The look, the smell, the taste are enough to make me vomit

    Sweet potatoes. I'm a Southern girl who hates. Sweet. Potatoes. Think of all the shame I endured growing up when I wouldn't eat the casserole with browned marshmallows on top. Why ruin a perfectly good marshmallow by gluing it to that mealy, sticky, orange goo? Even just baked I can't stand them. I wish it were otherwise, I know they're slightly better nutritionally than a white potato, but I just can't do it.

    Also, oatmeal. Again, texture. Gak.

    Let's play Settlers of Catan, and I'll trade you all my sweet potatoes and oatmeal for all your avocados. Two for one, that's a really good trade!

    I'm with you. I am a northern girl so we don't have sweet potatoes often but squash tastes similar. My annual embarrassment is when I have to explain to my mother (for the umpteenth time) that, no, I do NOT like pumpkin pie.

    I don't hate any food. However, I don't care for broussel sprouts. I know those are big on vitamin C and K but so what? Big Whoop! I look up the nutritional values of the food I don't like and find another food I do like that gives me the same nutritional values. I also don't eat corn but I eat just about everything made from corn like corn flakes, corn chips, and corn bread. Yep, I am weird that way.

    Cucumbers- Even the smell. Whoever decided that cucumber should be included in fragrances needs serious help.

    Oatmeal- The only thing oatmeal is good for is dumping it in the toilet, pretending its puke, to get out of going to school when you're a kid. Totally worked, too. Once.

    Blueberries- Taste like straight up aluminum to me. Like I'm chewing on a soda can.

    And finally, KALE- Ugh! I had a friend give me a crap load of salad greens from her garden and apparently there was some kale hiding in there. Made myself a lovely salad and was trucking along just fine... until I hit the first piece of kale. I was all, " I think she accidentally got some weeds in here!" I remained very suspicious for the rest of that salad.

    Jim Gaffigan said it best, " They could find out kale cures cancer and I'd still be like, 'Meh, I'll take the chemo."

    Kale, I don't understand why it tastes like bitter crap.

    I'm picky about salad.

    A big pile of lettuce with a few carrots, tomatoes, rock hard croutons, and any sort of dressing = disgusting to me. For years I used to watch my friends "diet" and the idea of all those salads just made me gag.

    Instead I eat lettuce & other greens on top of other foods, and get creative like sticking cabbage and/or lettuce and bean sprouts in an omelet. I only eat "salad" maybe 1-2 times a week and most times it's piled with black beans and avocado and is more of a burrito bowl than a traditional salad.

    For me, it's carrots. My whole life, and I'm 30, I have detested them. But they are good for you, and in most steamed veggie blends I buy, so I'm trying so hard. I tell myself that I acquired a taste for beer, I can do this. But sometimes they literally make me gag and I'm glad my dogs like them. What's your worst "good" food and how do you handle eating it?
    I think you might be the only other person I've heard of who doesn't like carrots!!!! I really really dislike them. I can only eat them shredded and mixed with other things. Though I've found they're tolerable if cut into sticks and used as crunchy nasty vessels for peanut butter or hummus.

    Beets always taste like dirt to me no matter how clean they are or how they are prepared. And I think it is sinful that okra even exists, yuck! That is all.

    I'd rather eat roadkill than kale.

    Me, too!!! I totally agree!!! Those sad salads are what reminds me most of "being on a diet", and I REFUSE!
