What is a Food your afraid of??

sandybeach11

I agree w/ the chicken wings comment. I will also add white asparagus. Both gross me out.

Totally afraid of asparagus too! A friend of mine loves it the way PP does it, olive oil, salt and pepper and garlic I think, in the over or grilled. But I'm just not sure I would like the taste, so haven't tried it.

Danger food: Sausage Egg McMuffin for breakfast and Chicken carbonara sub from Quizno's. That is my go to breakfast and lunch when I work in the office and so so bad for me! I did have one for breakfast the other day, and felt like poo the rest of the day, so that made me not want it again!

Cottage cheese (the little fruit flavoured cups).

I LOVE cottage cheese in lasagna's and stuff like that!
And it's a low calorie snack that is full of protein!
Therefore, I keep telling myself that I WILL like it, and I buy it to try it, but get too scared and let it expire... haha
27 year old trapped in a 2 year old body! haha

P.S. Asparagus is really good! Roll it in a bit of olive oil, out on some salt & pepper, and either grill or bake it...
Makes your pee smell funny though! haha

tofu

OMG... yes! That stuff is freaky! I thank my lucky stars that I'm allergic to soy. Now no one can try to goad me into eating tofu ever again.

I'm terrified of prawns. And shrimp. But mostly prawns.

tofu

Oh, but when prepared right, tofu is amazing! There's a great Korean place near me that makes it so well. I try to refrain from any meat besides poultry, so I'm always looking for good tofu when we're out.

I'm terrified to try pickled eggs. Every time I see them in the gas station I vomit in my mouth a little. Maybe they're delicious but I doubt it.

When I'm dieting, the food I'm afriad of is pizza. It's one of my favorite foods and being from St. Louis... I LOVE St. Louis Style with the super thin crust and provel cheese. Definitely a sin.

I am afraid of Bagels and butter....they are my worst enemy.

If there was a food I was scared of, it would be the only thing in my house! It would make losing weight sooooo much easier.

I never really tried asparagus until I got married. My husband sautees them in a pan with olive oil, crushed garlic, salt & pepper. Cook them until they are slightly still firm. So good!

Meat!

And Foam… anything with foam on it. Foam is not natural.

I really am creeped out by ricw pudding and tapioca (sp?)


I love chips, carb carb carb...so I try to find foods that give me a similar crunch without the empty calories and carbs

This is my food phobia too! Not because I can't stand chips, but because I think they are amazing! There's honestly not to many I won't eat! My favorite "right now" are Sun Chips, but I have been trying my best to completely avoid them. (I try to avoid the isles they are sold in the stores. ) And then there's sweets! I LOVE sweets. lol I have a love/hate relationship with them.

Anything that is slimy or smooth in texture (like jell-o), or mealy (like ground beef) or squishy/crunchy (like shrimp.. not sure how describe that texture). It's all about the texture which rules out most meat, things drenched in sauces, things like smooth mashed potatoes or jellied anything. :laugh: It makes it sound like I'm really picky but I'll eat almost any fruit / veggie / grain / nut / seed / legume / seasoning. Makes it really easy to be healthy actually... haha

My husband laughs at me because I won't eat things like plain ice cream, it has to have chunks of something in it, same with orange juice, has to have the pulp. I know it's the opposite for most people...

Milk. It absolutely grosses me out. The way it leaves a film on glass and how it's so thick, ugh. Ew, thinking about it right now is making me gag.

Me too! I'm sensitive to all dairy, particularly milk and cream, and when I was in preschool I had an evil teacher who made me drink milk before I got to play. I would guzzle it, vomit, and then go on my way. This went on a for a week or so before my mom found out and chewed her out. Thinking about it still makes me shudder.

I love so many of the foods listed here! Mushrooms, sushi (veggies only please), asparagus, avocado, yummmmm.

My foods that I am too afraid to eat are;
Fish- the texture grosses me out even though I know its good for you.
Tofu- same deal with the texture

On the other hand, the foods I'm scared to go near because I have no self control include;
Candy- anything gummy and sugary
Cheese and crackers- enough said.


oh, and i just read the post above. I don't like milk either, GROSSSS

My stepdad once made me drink the milk from my cereal (which is another thing that grosses me out about milk, ugh.) and then in the car I puked all over him.

Ooooohhhh. I may try that. My oven is broken, so no roasting this week. I usually eat a couple batches a week and I miss it!

My husband just had steamed wasp's larvae in Laos, so that is my new afraid food.

He said it tasted mothy and not like chicken AT ALL.

I just can't..... how??...... and why??........

Well. It was what he was served, so he ate it. Insects are consumed both as staples and as delicacies in huge numbers across the globe. Our Western proclivities mean that we turn our backs on an abundant and palatable resource and oh god, he ate wasp's larvae.

The worst thing I have eaten is raw sea urchin. Tasted like iodine snot.

I agreed with the first response. The next question has to be how the heck does he know what moths taste like??? and why???
I'm not even going to ask about the iodine snot......eeewww.

My danger food is cheese. Love it!!! Born and raised in WI ..so cheesehead through and through.

I am afraid to try eel, foam (looks like soap), sweetbreads.
I am paranoid of avacados. Love them but haven't been able to eat them for the last four years. I've developed a food sensitivity or allergy to them and get horribly nauseated if I eat even a 1/4 x1/4 inch piece.


Asaragus can be eaten fresh. Cut it up and put it on a salad. Ta da!!! I love it grilled and roasted too. Not a huge fan of steamed.

TubbsMcGee

I don't think I could bring myself to eat bugs. Anything else though, I'd be willing to try!
(and I've had some wacky "delicacies" so far)

...unless it's a fast food beef burger.
Blech. I don't think I've eaten one of those since 2004. I just don't know what the hell is in them, and the last couple times I tried to eat one, I was violently ill.

And edited to add: My danger food is probably cheese. I could honestly eat a block of it like a sandwich.

Asparagus: favourite way to eat it would be brushed in olive oil with freshly crushed garlic, and sprinkled with vegetable seasoning. Roasted in the oven or on the bbq for about 12 minutes. Perfection!

There are probably a fair few Kiwis on here who would refute my iodine snot conclusion to the consumption of sea urchin.

I suppose this is not the thread to introduce Moreton Bay or Balmain bugs.

My trigger foods are:
Brownies
Chocolate Chip cookies
Cool Ranch Doritos
Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby Ice Cream
Lynwoods (or any bar style) pizza

I steer clear of them now all the time!

Chinese food ~ every time I cave into temptation and eat it, I gain at least 5 pounds of water weight due to the HIGH sodium!

chell53

Mine is Asparagus....had it in my fridge twice now to "try" it but let it go bad using the excuse I don't know how to cook it...when really I am just a 28 year old chicken poop to afraid to try something new...lol Whats your afraid food??

You can steam them, saute them with garlic, roast them in olive oil, or boil.


Afraid food: Breads - I love bread a lot but have actually cut waaaay down since living out on my own since it goes bad before I can finish it. Also: sweets (butterfingers, fast breaks, candy hearts)

Asparagus is really good saute with garlic (love garlic).....

Your afraid food is exactly like mine.........Breads...nice Italian bread with butter or garlic bread yummy........sweats dark chocolate, snickers and jelly beans............
