    I'm a VERY picky eater.. so I will give u the short version.
    Tomatoes -Can't stand the taste
    Mushrooms -chewing on freakin rubber gross
    Cucumbers -by them selves... I get a foaming at the mouth(bad foaming!) feeling when I eat them
    Fat parts in all Meats - as soon as i get a piece I'm done eating (through the towel in)

    Even some of my favorite foods like hard boiled eggs can turn me off.
    Such as picky eater.

    Of course, "good for you" is relative...

    Green peppers. Haven't been able to eat them since I was pregnant with my son. Cooked or raw--they make me completely sick to my stomach.

    Grapefruit/grapefruit juice. Unless a metric ton of sugar or large quantities of vodka is involved.

    Plain soy milk/soy yogurt. Just tastes wrong.

    My RAW beyond organic Vegan meal replacement shakes... which I make myself drink anyways because they are sooooooooooo healthy I do it anyways. But to be fair I've never met anyone who 'likes' them... I've just gotten to the point where I tolerate them... as is the case with most people who drink them...

    Tomatoes
    mushrooms
    Yogurt (although there are a million different opinions on whether or not it really is healthy for you)
    celery... Ok so I have a mild allergy so even though i 'could' eat it gagging over the taste... definitely not that big of a fan to put myself through it.
    Not a health food...but... chicken pot pie... YUCK! even the thought of eating it makes me slightly nauseous.
  • Darn near all fruit with the exception of melon, apples and pineapple <love>; and I'll eat an orange if someone else will peel it.

    Ha! that's me! Can't stand the orange smell on my hands after peeling an orange! It never goes away

    The all-day orange smell the awesomest part! But, yes, melon is grody.

    Brussels sprouts
    canned tuna or salmon- struggle to be in the same room due to the smell and won't eat because I'm a vegetarian
    celery - on it's own it's horrible
    eggs (Egg McMuffins are their own particular brand of hell)
    raw mushrooms
    raw broccoli or cawliflower

    Sweet potatoes - these are the worst!
    Oysters! I don't even know if they are good for you, they sure don't look good for anything.
    Cooked cauliflower
    Squash
    Cantaloupe


    I must be the only one who likes cottage cheese :happy:

    Fruit. I will eat any vegetable under the sun (except the fruits that masquerade as veg, deceptive little ****ers) but even the thought of eating fresh fruit makes me queasy.

    ANY thing that bears a seed is fruit ! just to clarify so cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados all squashes .......

    Tomatoes. :x They're so good for you and rich in vitamin C and all that happiness, but even as a kid I couldn't bring myself to eat them.

    Not so crazy about pineapple either, but I like the juice.

    Probably anything whole wheat or with grains. I hate oats with a passion.

    Absolutely hate oatmeal, the texture and the taste if awful.

    My mother called it "mush." Hated it then, hate it now.

    Quinoa - never tried it but I hate it. The appearance, the smell .. gag.

    hmm lets see:
    mushrooms
    tomatoes
    olives
    onions
    pretty much all melons
    brussle sprouts
    and actually most all vegetables there are a few I will eat, actually the list of veggies I eat is far shorter then the list of the ones I don't eat

    Raw Tomatoes - The texture is nasty...
    Peppers - I'm allergic so I get some nasty side effects
    Porridge/Oatmeal - I can manage a few spoonfuls and then I feel physically ill

    All tinned fish, especially tuna, sardines, anchovies
    Cauliflower
    Tofu/soy substitutes
    Walnuts - so bitter!
    I've never understood the appeal of quinoa, and I have to be in a very specific mood (and it has to be a really, REALLY nice day) to tolerate cottage cheese, which then has to be served on really nice crispbread, with fresh tomato and masses of cracked black pepper... yes, THAT specific.
    Spinach, unless mixed up with oter things, ditto white cabbage.

    CELERY - the most disgusting food ever, my mom made me stick to a celery diet when I was 15 - it was the worst time of my life. yuckyuckyuck

    Beetroot - the colour, the taste, the texture, even the smell when I cook it! The only way I will eat it is in beetroot chocolate cake and well that possibly negates the health benefits of eating beetroot!

    Cashew nuts - I like these, but I can't eat them because they give me migraines.

    I can't eat berries. In particular raspberries or blackberries. Can't even force them down in the name of politeness. Lots of other foods are unappealing and make me gag, but berries I have a real problem with. Ugh, and pomegranates.
    In fact, if I could I would just skip fruit altogether. (And I often do!)

    I really don't like soy/tofu, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, buckwheat, raw tomato, canned tuna and sardines, eggplant, cottage cheese, and squash. However, I force myself to eat most of these foods sometimes because my diet is really restricted, and I need all the variety of nutrients I can get. However, usually have to smother them in some other flavor to fool myself into thinking it's some other food (example: covering cauliflower with tomato paste and a minute amount of Parmesan cheese to pretend that it's pasta).

    Mushrooms, melon (except watermelon), honey and bananas... ESPECIALLY bananas!

    Yuck!

    I jump on the tomatoes bandwagon. Everything makes me hark about fresh raw tomatoe, the smell, the taste, the texture, EVERYTHING.

    I also discovered just recently that i absolutely hate, detest and want to burn every single one of em. Asparagus...who eats that gross ****, jesus christ.

    If i detect one of those 2 in my meal i go green on face and make scene a bit >>

    FISH! I can't stand 'fishy fish'. I don't like fish without a coating of breadcrumbs or batter on - unless it's tinned tuna!

    Yes it's good for me but YUCK!

    I've gone off tinned fish since I found 12 pieces of round, hollow white bone in a SMALL tin of salmon. Can't even think of opening a tin of any fish now without feeling queasy.

    Brussels sprouts. The smell! I wont tell you what I think they smell like, because it's just not suitable in public!

    Ricotta cheese. I've tried and I've tried, I just can't do it....

    Any kind of meat substitute. I've never tried tofu, but Quorn is just wrong. If it looks like, smells like and tastes like chicken, just eat the darned chicken!

    I can't bring myself to try a green smoothie. I'd rather eat a salad than drink it.
  • Leafy greens. Not only do I dislike the taste, but they make me physically ill.

    Quinona I just don't get it. Here the texture would rather go for another grain.
