    I don't think I've ever eaten anything I didn't like, I wonder how I got fat...

    I really want to eat Pistachios, they look so fun and pretty but I found out I'm allergic AFTER I ate them for the first time.

    Speaking of Japanese food...I despise miso soup. It looks good and smells decent but the taste is vile.

    Chocolate peanut butter frozen yogurt. Sounds good, right? Well the "peanut butter" was some sort of bizarre rubbery concoction that was supposed to taste like PB but didn't quite get there. I ate around it as well as I could at first but ended up tossing it in the trash.

    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!

    I love polenta! But, of course, I make it creamy by cooking it in milk and adding marscopone cheese at the end. :laugh:

    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 love seafood too, but I cannot get with scallops. I don't understand the texture/taste. I do not like them AT ALL, although they look so good at time. I refuse to be fooled. :sick:

    QFT. And grits! I keep trying to like them because they look so good, but they remind me too much of cream of wheat which my mother tortured me with as a child. Trauma... Lol

    Chocolate chip cookies made with quinoa flour. They were like cookie taffy. They made excellent dog treats.

    All smoothies with banana in. I cannot stand bananas... the taste, the texture the smell all combine just to make the most horrific foodstuff.... I can't even watch someone eat one, and if I see someone mashing one my stomach just rises... ergh.

    And they a staple in smoothies :noway:

    I had a spicy shrimp wrap at a Diner recently and had it sent back. It was not good. Too spicy in an inedible way. I like flavor with my spicy foods not bitterness.

    Flan. It may have been bad flan but it was bad enough that I've never tasted it anywhere else.

    My new breakfast/lunch meal looks absolutely disgusting...but tastes sooooo GOOD and is soooo GOOD for me:

    1/2 cup of quinoa
    1 scoop of Amazing Grass Superfood
    blueberries
    blackberries
    mango or white peach
    flax and chia seed mix

    This stuff looks like a dark green yucky mess...I LOVE IT, it tastes sooooo GOOD!

    For me its.... buffalo chicken....

    Every couple of years I find these great receipe's/pictures (especially during football/superbowl season) and I make a big batch of what looks so scrumptious (pictures of sliders or dips sucker me in everytime)... take a bite and remember that I hate the taste of Buffalo chicken.....ugh...
