    My last diet I snacked on wusabi edamame at work. I liked the spicy aspect at first but after a week or so, I despised the taste. Just nasty

    My mother and I to make some homemade energy / protein bars. She thought they were good, but we used some soy based protein in them and apparently I can't stand the taste of that stuff. Next time we'll use whey.

    Tofu 'cheese' and coconut 'milk.' Horrible. It's like drinking water when you expect milk.

    One that whole raisin thing I’d have to agree and I love raisins. You know like raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies; that’s why I have trust issues.
    But I do love me some carrot cake, raisins or not!

    Love spag bog, hate my husband's spag bog. It's nasty.

    Cous cous, broccoli, cold beans, tomato ketchup, salad cream, peanut butter, fish unless battered.

    Polenta. With it's rich golden colour, it looked so nice; tasted crap. Or rather, it didn't really taste of anything. I didn't like the texture either. That was a big disappointment!

    Daiya provolone cheese (just looked good on the packaging) melted it was tolerable but still kind of funky... and it had only 1 g of protein per slice....

    A salad I'd made before when I didn't have caraway seeds...and it's DELICIOUS...

    http://www.spabettie.com/2013/03/18/cashew-cabbage-crunch-salad/

    I added like 1/2 of what they suggest for caraway seeds and apparently I don't like those...it was terrible. It was beautiful and the perfect crunchy texture...but every bite of it just tasted like mustard to me. I tried it again the next day hoping it had "mellowed" but it was even worse :-(

    Anything from Arby's. They're aren't many Arby's around so when I see one, I want to go. Everytime though, it's a disappointment. Maybe I won't get fooled next time.

    I have a coeliac friend who takes issue with polenta too. The stuff that is fashioned into supposed 'chips' aggrieve her the most. I don't mind it when it's the mush at the side of the plate with a knob of butter and some parmesan. The stuff you buy all stuck together and then fry/roast, not so much.

    For me, it's scallops. I reasoned that I should like them because I generally love seafood, but the texture :sick: I felt so guilty about ordering them at such a price and then finding out they were in the top 3 worst things I have ever put in my mouth.

    I felt that way about brie. I am a cheese lover but somehow had never tried it until my late 20's when I was at a nice restaurant with girlfriends...ordered an appetizer with brie as its focus and nearly choked. Everyone else loved it. eww ewwwww no.

    Of course I have had 2-3 other occasions now when people insist that their specific way of serving brie or a special type/brand is so much better...I've played along but hated it all.

    A coeliac shouldn't have any problem with polenta, it's usually just corn and water. If she bought pre-packaged polenta chips, maybe they contained gluten for some reason, or there is a contamination risk where they were made. To be fair, I really should've expected not to like polenta since I don't like corn, lol. XD

    Somewhere in Germany I saw a marzipan croissant. Sounds delicious, right? It was absolutely inedible.

    This. I always thought I'd love scallops. Finally sprung for fresh seared ones at a beachside place whose other seafood was awesome. Yeah... NO! The tecyure was gross and I found the meat itself oddly sweet.
