    I absolutely LOVE peppers and all veggies . . . when I was a kid I would ask for an apple, carrot, or pepper instead of a chocolate bar . . . YES . . . Im odd and I love it!

    This reminds me of one time I was at the supermarket behind this lady with 2 kids and she said they could get a chocolate to snack on in the car and one asked could she go get an apple instead and the lady responded angrily with 'you can just go without then!'. I wanted to slap her!!

    I really detest: avocados (they're waxy.. yuck!), beets, bleu cheese, and the consistency of jello. I'm eating jello though, but I don't like the texture

    I have always been the opposite, I would MUCH rather have a nice home made piece of brown bread any day over white, it has much more flavor to it!

    I dont' like 'light' or "no fat" dressings!! If I am going to have a salad it HAS to have regular salad dressing on it! I'd rather have a little bit of regular ranch then a lot of light ranch any day!!!

    Also anything with aspartame or any other artificial sweetner in it, pudding, yogurt, fudgsicles, jello, juice, pop etc. is NASTY with that crap! I'd just rather not eat it at all!

    I'm not proud of this, but for the most part, I hate fruits and vegetables. I love my baby organic spinach, and I eat it pretty much every day. About the only fruit I get is my glass of wine with dinner. I realize this doesn't count!

    That said, I do care about what I put in my mouth. I have some dark chocolate and wine every day, but I've given up all the other junk I used to eat. No cookies, chips, cake, ice cream, etc. I eat whole grains and lean proteins, eggs (mostly whites), and organic milk, and I keep my fat calories between 20 and 25 percent pretty religiously. I take supplements too to try to cover my bases.

    I'd never encourage people not to eat their fruits and veggies, but I really do despise them (I think I actually fear them, irrational as that may sound), and I try to make decent choices from the foods I do like.

    Oatmeal! I have tried several times because I love the smell, love oatmeal cookies, granola, granola bars etc, but it just sends shivers down my spine and I gag.

    Every kind of fish or seafood except for canned tuna
    Asparagus
    Brussel Sprouts
    Cilantro

    Cannot eat celery unless ALL of that stringy stuff is peeled off the outside!

    The white membrane things in oranges also make me gag... but orange is my absolute favorite flavor of EVERYTHING!

    I can't believe how many people dislike broccoli! It's like... my go-to veggie! When I was little the florets used to tickle my throat and make me gag, but I've gotten past that. :)

    I'm don't like cooked fish, but I do like sushi.
    Not a fan of cottage cheese, but it's more the texture than the flavor that bothers me. I also dislike plain yogurt, but like the different flavors (especially with fresh fruit mixed it!). I'm picky about beans... I've only recently started to like kidney beans and black beans.
    I also don't like whole tomatoes, but if they're diced up I'm fine.

    Hmmm... That's all I can think about right now. This is an interesting thread! haha

    I can't believe no one has said turnips. They are most disgusting things out there. I won't even sit at a table with them on it.

    That cracked me up! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Actually I love bananas. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    What I can't stand is mushrooms. YUCK!!! And I don't know if hominy is good for you or not. On second thought, anything that smells that nasty can't be good for you. I never could stomach that stuff ever since I was a kid up to and including the present day. NAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

    I hate it too. Also slick slimy boiled okra I think it is disgusting.
    :ohwell: I hate cottage cheese. Always seemed more like something that came out of a goose to me...
