A list of foods I am grateful I don't like:
Mayonnaise
Soda
Potato Chips - or anything potato for that matter
Candy that isn't chocolate i.e., Skittles, Starburst, etc.

Unfortunately, that sure leaves a longer list of foods that cause me to fall off the wagon. *Sigh*

    I'm not keen on cheese, rarely have it and am so glad as the other day I REALLY wanted a cheese and tomato sandwich, looked it up and saw that its 400-600 calories! I still had one but was careful the rest of the day but I'm so glad that cheese isn't on my list of liked foods normally!

    A fellow mayo-hater! I love it!! I wish I could say I don't like soda, because I do loooove my diet soda. I never could drink regular, though; it makes me feel strange and sugary.

    Chips on the other hand... and potatoes... oh, my. I have found I don't crave them as much anymore. Have you noticed that about any of your former favorite foods?
  • i'm not a great fan of chips either, but candy i cant live without .. or soda, but diet soda has like no calories anyway <3
    i have to have mayo with my tuna :) but lighter than light mayo only has like 11 calories and 1g of fat per table spoon!
    :D
    I'm grateful i DON'T like
    chocolate or
    BUTTER :)
    great help! or tea or coffee with sugar, or without sugar.

    Adding my thanks for a strong dislike of:
    MAYO!!! (I'm so glad to not be alone in this)
    Potato Salad that's got any creamy dressing (warm German potato salad is so good, though)
    Chai
    milk
    pork roasts, chops, steaks...
    pecan pie
    pie crust
    cheesecake I haven't baked (and, since I only make one every couple of years....)
    eggs benedict

  • I'm thankful that I don't like melted cheese, even if I am getting sick of explaining myself to people.

    "WHAT? YOU DON'T LIKE MELTED CHEESE? But... does that mean you don't like pizza?"
    "No, I just order pizza without cheese."
    "BUT THAT'S THE BEST PART!!!"
    "Not if you don't like melted cheese, it isn't..."
    "What about nachos?"
    "I make them without cheese."
    "BUT THAT DISQUALIFIES THEM AS NACHOS! What about...(insert another food that can be made without melted cheese)?"
    "I make it without cheese."
    "But..."
    "Okay, look. You don't like broccoli, right?"
    "Yeah."
    "So you don't eat stir-fry?"
    "I just make it without... ooooooh."

    Hahahaha. Yeah... I haven't had them in years - it was always the worst day of the year when my mom would make them when I was growing up. The five she'd force me to eat caused an extra hour at the table after everyone else was finished.

    Truth be told, I was waiting for the dog to come over, so I could try to get her to eat them!

    Actually, potatoes WERE something I used to love, especially baked with all the toppings. Now, if a potato is offered, my response is, "Meh".

    I am so thankful I don't like anything that is breaded and deep fried or even just plain deep fried including french fries. I worked at burger shop for 5 years as a teenager and every thing was deep fried there. I also don't like reese cups or any thing with nuts in it and any kind of "flavored" chip. Just give me plain old Lays. It makes it easier to shop for my husband because he is a spicey chipaholic plus he loves reese cups.

    I do love brussel sprouts though :love:

    Wow I didn't know there was so many fellow mayo haters! I hate mayo, the texture, they way it looks, they way it giggle. YUCK. I don't hate a lot of things but here is my list.

    MAYO
    Brusell Sprouts
    2%, 1%, Skim Milk and ANY Milk that comes out of a box (I only like Whole milk in a jug)
    any thing that has BBQ sauce
    Sardines
    Ribs

    *Fast food hamburgers make me ill just thinking about them. Except when I am pregnant, then for some reason I love them. And White Castle, it's so nasty but I love a good White Castle a couple times a year!
    *mayo - HATE it! Despise it!
    *pop - drink it probably 10 times a year. Usually only at events like a Bday or holiday picnic or something and then usually just one cup.
    *I was lucky to be 9 weeks pregnant over Halloween this year and I still have not touched more than 5 pieces of my son's candy! I HATE candy when I am pregnant. I had been ready to put on at least 3 lbs over Halloween!
    *Cheesecake! - I have been blessed to HATE cheesecake!


    unfortunately, I LOVE ice cream! :)

    PS, my new years resolution last year was to gain weight. I figured it was win win - I either did not and was happy, or did, and met my goal :laugh: (I did NOT keep my resolution :happy: )

    I'm another of the 6 that keeps the Brussel Sprout industry alive (LOVE them!).

    I was trying really hard to think of things I hate (or won't eat) and the list is short... (could be why I'm here)

    For most of these there is good reason I won't touch the stuff:

    Headcheese. (Texture- it doesn't taste terrible I can't handle the gelatinous texture)
    Pickled Pigs Feet (Can't get over the feet thing)
    Pickled Eggs (I just don't get it)
    Tripe (Or anything with tripe in it. it tastes like the barnyard floor- blech)
    Regular Mayo (I will do a TINY bit of FF Miracle Whip in my tuna or chicken salad)
    Jello (it's a texture and ingredients thing)

    That's pretty much all I can think of...

    Fortunately, my children share my love of brussels sprouts! I am thankful I despise processed cheese... But a good sharp cheddar, and I'd be smothered, too!

    Neat post! Here's my list:

    - ice cream
    - candy (non-chocolate)
    - dark chocolate
    - pineapple upside down cake (not sure why, but I don't like it)
    - coconut (loathe it, which makes it easy for me to refuse a wide-variety of baked goods)
    - milk (but I love cream!)
    - cereal
    - pastries
    - soft drinks
    - nachos, tacos, burritos, etc
    - pasta

    I have a strange list lol. I'm not a big dessert eater, not much for sweet things at all. I'd rather have a glass of dry red wine.
