Kale. Worst thing that grows,ever.
Fish. Yea, healthy, low fat, full of Omega whatevers...cannot stand the smell, taste and texture.0 -
Salad in general.
I will eat steamed veggies all day long. I will eat shredded lettuce and/or cabbage on just about anything. I have spinach at least once a day, often it is part of 2 meals in a day.
But salads just don't do much for me. I eat them from time to time, but I would much rather eat veggies and roughage in other forms! The idea of eating salads every day is what I used to think equaled healthy diet and weight loss and I knew I could never do that for more than 2-3 days without throwing in the towel.
Growing up, my mom's idea of salad was a huge bowl of iceberg lettuce with a little bit of chopped raw tomato (which I detest) and vinegar based dressing. I still don't like that at all.0 -
Celery and Rhubarb.
Rhubarb trying to pass itself off as something different when really it's just red celery.
Both disgusting. Texture wise,smell wise and the thought of eating it is torture.0 -
Tuna. Just .... eeeew.
This0 -
Bananas- learning to tolerate them as sources of sweetness and potassium in superfood shakes.
Okra- HATE it with a passion. Gross!0 -
I forgot to add beets (GAG).0
-
ASPARAGUS...!!:sad: but I found a way to tolerate it...:laugh: by juicing it with my favorite fruits and veggies..:bigsmile: :bigsmile:0

Kale - just plain nasty!
Liver/organ meats - can't even stand the smell
Salmon
Peas - but I love split pea soup0 -
Reading these I realise I'm probably not as fussy an eater as I thought!
The only things I dislike are bananas and that's because a number of times when I was younger I got sick shortly after eating banana flavoured things. No causation, banana milkshake won't give you an ear infection. But the medicine I had to take was banana flavoured too!
I can still eat them and they're never as bad as I fear. I think I loathe the IDEA of bananas more than bananas themselves.
They're handy as a "barrier" food. So if I'm in one of those eat-all-day moods I'll put a banana on my desk and be like OKAY LADY if you're really and truly hungry you can have this banana. And if you're still hungry after that, it's legit hunger so that's ok, go eat something. However if you are scrunching up your nose at the banana because you want a Kit Kat well sorry you're not hungry. You just feel like a kit kat and that's not gonna happen.
It's like the food equivalent of keeping your enemies close. Or something. I think.0 -
Raw tomato - and the way people always say "oh but they are so good for your skin" I don't care if they give me wings and make me millions I cannot stomach the feel or taste of them. I have improved a little, I can eat food they have touched now and have even managed to swallow a mouthful of sandwich where I seed had got missed from my removal.0

Any type of seafood, especially fish!. I can not get over the taste, smell, and texture!0
-
Yams, they are bland and have a nasty stringy texture.0
-
Bananas, Green Beans and most Melons, EXCEPT Watermelon...0
-
Cottage cheese :sick:
I'm not a fan of yogurt either but I've thrown Chobani in the Nutribullet and when mixed with other things its tolerable.0 -
I would rather lose a limb than eat either tofu or celery
Love the taste of watermelon but the texture of fresh, raw watermelon makes my skin crawl0 -
Kale "chips." WTF. Who came up with this one and why does everybody seem to think it's genius?
OMG and this, seriously whats the effing point of kale chips???? And people who say they LOVE them and they taste better than regular chips are just plain lying0 -
Canned tuna. Makes me nauseous to smell and look at it0
-
Sprouts, thats it.
I'll eat everything else and enjoy it too ))0 -
Easy: lean meats. Chicken and turkey need to be fried or covered in gravy or SOMETHING to be palatable. I'm picky about seafood too. I only like eating my protein red meat or vegetarian.... all or nothing!0
-
COTTAGE CHEESE. BLEGH!0
-
Hummus, Beets, Kale, plain greek yogurt, BLAHHH0
-
cottage cheese! YUCK. I want to like it, I try to like it, and then I eat it and EW0
-
Fish & brown rice/pasta.
Love shellfish & white rice and regular pasta. Hate the above.0 -
Cauliflower and broccoli - bland boringness. I do force them down from time to time, but have never liked them from childhood. Even my mother calling them "trees" didn't make them any more appealing to me.
I assume you've never had them oven roasted with garlic chive butter and a little crumbled bacon....0 -
Avacado... bleh. Okra... double bleh.0
-
Cauliflower; raw, roasted, mashed, parading around as pizza crust, or any other crazy form people are putting it in these days. Also raw tomatoes by themselves.0
-
EGGS and AVACADO! Hate em both!
This. I'll do eggs scrambled and sometimes hard-boiled (I love me some deviled eggs), but raw yolk forms? Gag me.
I want to like avocado, but I can't force it down no matter how hard I try. Even mixing it in things doesn't work for me, I can still taste it and its texture.
Lentils/legumes of any form (except green beans, due to them being mostly pod), in any form, so even things like hummus are out for me. It's a texture thing, and I think the same reason I can't stand most greek yogurts, either (the bacterial combination creates a "pithy" texture similar to hummus).0 -
uh.....i got nuthin... i like everything.0
-
YOGURT!
Can't stand it......All I can think of when I eat it is "this is exactly what I imagine the texture of pureed worms would be"
Also in that same texture category- pudding, jello, tapioca (hurk), and custard. Those aren't quite as healthy for you though.0 -
Celery :sick:
Grapefruit :noway:
Tofu :indifferent:0
