    In our home, my wife and I are agreed that cooking liver is grounds for divorce.

    Why anyone would voluntarily eat it, is beyond my understanding. They will walk a big circle around cow poop; but insist that eating the "filter" is good and healthy.

    Yuck!!

    I must not be too picky because I love most of what everyone has listed...lol. Plus, the things I used to not like, I actually have developed a taste for now - like sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts.

    However, I cannot eat fish. I've tried and tried. But it's just never going to be something I can stomach. =P

    I don't like vegetables (minus lettuce, carrots, and corn) or seafood. Makes it really hard to hit my numbers without resorting to junk. :(

    Soy. I can't stand the taste. Soy milk, soy beans, edemame... eeeeeyuck. :noway:

    Lima beans. I used to pick out the 2 or 3 that came in Campbells vegetable soup. Just couldn't stand them.

    Oatmeal, asparagus and beets. I only had beets for the first time about a year ago. Conversation with the hubby went like this...

    Me: what are these?
    Hubs: beets.
    Me: are they supposed to taste like dirt?
    Hubs: they do come from the ground.
    Me: they taste like they ARE the ground.

    That was my first and last time having beets.

    Liver, any kind.

    I was having a hard time thinking of something I don't like. But here it is. I HATE liver. Bleck. I'm sure there is more, but I do like lots of different foods.

    I'm not a fan of milk, yuck! If I have to drink it it has to be skim milk, really cold and I have to just down it. The other is fish. I know fish is so good for you, but seems no matter how I try it, if it's not a fish stick or Long John's I can't stand it. If you have any ideas how I can like it please let me know!! I will eat shrimp cocktail, though!

    My fish-hating son now refers to our Pollock filets as "epic fish." We make a salt-free breading for it (it's not high carb or high calorie), and then bake it instead of fry. It's a bit peppery/spicy, but it's very tasty, and it works for my fish-hater!

    I can't give an exact recipe, because I don't know--my husband makes it. But it's got lemon zest, pepper, corn flake crumbs, a tiny bit of salt-free Cajun seasoning, and then whatever else sounds good at the moment. Experiment, you might find a mix you like!

    Thanks so much, I'll try it!!

    Can't stand liver. I tried to like it, I really did. It even smells good when cooked right. But I can't stomach the texture.

    Same with Tofu. It's too jiggly. If I want food that jiggles, I'll eat Jello.

    Artichokes. Anchovies. Olives.

    Mine is yogurt. I wish I could learn to love it. I've tried a lot of brands and flavors, but they all end up tasting like sour milk :(
    Try throwing it in the freezer! I can't stand yogurt either, but somehow it tastes better while a bit icy! And today, something magical happened after I transferred it to the fridge for awhile--it was like soft ice cream! Delicious!

    I'm not a yogurt lover (I enjoy a few flavors but most I don't) - I never thought to try and make it like ice cream! Love that idea...I'm gonna try that today! I hate milk and don't eat yogurt so I do NOT get enough calcium - maybe I just found a new favorite! Thanks for the idea!

    I Hate All Cooked Veggies! Except corn & potatoes, but of course, those are pretty much not classed as veggies - at least I like salad so I can get veggies that way.
