What food is a real turn off?

Pork Scratchings have to be the most disgusting food ever invented. And, they are about 650 cals per 100g with almost zero protein.

    Really?!?!

    Meats - [Pork Scratchings] 100g:
    Calories 607
    Total Fat 46 g
    Saturated 17 g
    Total Carbs 2 g
    Protein 49 g

    Yes, they are high in calories and fat but they are also high in protein!! 49g P for 100g!!!

    I quite like them but don't have them often as they are high cal. I did eat them more when doing V low carb as a way of upping my cals and protein.

    What are pork scratchings? What an awful name.. My answer would probably be any chunky loaf from a deli.

    Dude, chicharrones are one of the best things ever. Personally for me, bananas or eggs.

    Liver tops the list. OMG typing the word gags me

    Chicken boiling or pork ANYTHING cooking (got to add onion or I cant stand it)

    boiled eggs from a distance (fiance' puts a boiled egg in my salad at night and I swear I can smell it thru the house)

    Take the skin off a pig; chop it into small pieces - being careful to leave the hairy bits on; deep fry it in dirty oil; dip it in a vat of salt. Package in a small bag with a cheery label and sell at an extortionate price.

    Thats about as good as it gets - yuck :sick: :sick: :sick:

    Milk! I'm lactose intolerant, so I guess I just have a natural aversion to it. I can't even drink the Lactaid stuff, it still makes my tummy churn!

    Any shellfish, plus lobster and crab but I can eat ready-cooked and peeled prawns. Yes, I can eat shellfish all right but I just puke an hour or so later, so I am wasting my time eating them in the first place.

    Oh and celery, avocado (the flesh tastes SO greasy - yuk), and pretty much all nuts or anything really fatty or salty. I don't cook with salt (haven't done for nearly 40 years) and only add salt to food after I have tasted it.. The smell of roasted peanuts or other similar things turns my stomach - I've hated them since I was about 7 or 8 and despite trying to like them time and time again, I just can't stand the taste. Just as well, as they are high in calories and it's so easy to eat a handful here and a handful there and before you know it, you've eaten a whole bag.

    Oh, and I am not that fond of chocolate. What? I hear you say, not fond of chocolate? Well the reason for that is that during Occupational health training, I was posted to Cadburys for a 6 week placement. The first week was great, the 2nd not so good and by the end of the 3rd week I was washing my clothes and hair every night to try and get rid of the all-pervading chocolate smell that seemed to cling to me everywhere. By the 4th week I was dreading going in for my placement. Nowadays, I can eat the odd couple of squares but that's about it.

    Any food with a name I don't like, for example pork scratching
