    Eggs, milk, quiche and flan. I've tried multiple times...the only way I like my eggs is in a cupcake!

    Mushrooms. Ack. I've tried to eat them in so many ways but they just taste of dead.
    Any kind of offal. I just can't get past the smell and my mother ruined liver for me.

    I've learned to eat courgettes (again, my mother ruined those and eggplant/aubergine for me), so will have a stab at aubergine at some point, but it still makes me queasy to think about it.

    I don't like strong blue cheeses either.

    Parsley is the knob cheese of the devil.

    Nuts are ok, but am not a fan unless salted and roasted. I HATE them in other foods.

    1. Shrimp. Hate how you can see their poop chute.

    2. Sweet potato. Just not a fan.


    In general, I love my food. Damn.

    1. Mayonnaise, YUCK YUCK YUCK!! I will eat homemade aioli which is basically mayo but the jarred stuff is disgusting!
    2. Whole raw tomatoes. I love salsa and could eat it all day but if it is a plain whole raw tomato no thanks!
    3. Mustard. Gross!

    anything pomegranate flavored, raw onions, plain yogurt, dark meat chicken, generic graham crackers, beets, Generic mayo and sliced cheese, boiled okra, warm or hot tomatoes on anything ( love them cold though), hard lettuce nor the lettuce that just looks like you raked them up out of your yard!

    I refuse to eat livers, mainly because I know that the purpose of the liver is to remove impurities from the body.... that's about my only one.

    Bell peppers - all colors. Won't eat them raw. I can taste it even when chopped finely and really cooked into the food with a lot of spices and strong flavors (think jambalaya) and it throws the whole dish off for me, but I'll eat it that way if there's not a more palatable option.

    Not a fan of 99.9% of olives. There are some small green Italian ones that I like - forget the name.

    Food in an Indian restaurant. Before anyone gets their back up, I like most Indian food. But, the smell of yellow curry makes me physically ill.

    ETA. Forgot. Calf's liver. My grandmother made me take a bite as a kid and I promptly threw it right back up. No thanks. I love chicken livers, though.

    My food aversions:
    - RICE of any kind.....just can't get passed the point that it looks like maggots!
    - CORN - smells delicious. My taste buds hate the flavor and texture
    - COTTAGE CHEESE, OATMEAL, JELLO, BANANA: Basically any food that doesn't crunch or doesn't need to be chewed is off my food list. (I agree with csemien1's comment on oatmeal)
    - SHRIMP: Again, I am a visual person. Can't get passed the way it looks.
    - SQUASH: of any kind.....Don't like the look, smell, texture, flavor....
    - COCONUT: Ugh...
    - CHICKEN WITH BONES: Grew up on a farm and had to kill and prepare them (plucking feathers, removing internal organs....) Oddly enough, boneless is okay for me.

    Basically, I'm a meat and potatoes type of gal :) Love my carbs....bread, popcorn, crackers....and anything salty.

    Seafood.. Anything that used to swim is a big NO.
    Baby animals - lamb, veal, etc.
    Weird parts of animals - liver, tongue, feet, gizzards, heart, etc.
    Olives

    I like most foods, but I refuse to eat organ meats (liver, heart, tongue, etc.) Also was forced to eat everything on my plate as a child. Sat there until midnight and finally finished ice cold lima beans, and promptly got ill. They tasted like moldy cheese at that point. So definetly no lima beans.

    I will not eat cooked peas or cooked carrots. I love them raw, just not cooked. :noway:

    Lima beans - ick, again, it's a consistency thing. :noway:

    Cauliflower. :noway:

    Yes! I will never touch fried foods again! They were an addiction for me much in the same way alcohol is to an alcoholic.

    Dried fruit. Sultanas, raisins etc - my dad chased me round the kitchen with a currant slice (2 slices of pastry sandwiched with a thick, juicy layer of currants) when I was little. He said it was fly pie and asked if I could see the legs :ohwell:

    That is just wrong.... then again... maybe something to do with my kids tonight... lol

    Chia seeds. Foul, slimy little dirt bits. I don't know who decided those were edible.
    Sea cucumber is like eating a gigantic booger, but I'm vegan now anyway so I don't worry about it.
    Red 40, yellow 5 and 6, MSG, and certain wines. They're migraine triggers.

    I'll eat most anything and try anything (twice) and I pride myself on it.

    That being said: papaya. It's a texture/mouth feel thing.

    There are many foods I don't care for, and some I will avoid if possible, but I only have one food I "refuse" to eat. That's honey. I watched a nature program that showed how bees make it, and it grossed me out so much I will never eat it knowingly.

    Liver.
    Turnips.
    Any sort of insect put IN food.

    But really? Who eats these? I'm sure such a small percentage of the human population would eat that YUCK. They may as well just make them an un-food. LOL

    Ffoie gras for personal reasons... but then I won't ease cheese because it's old milk. I also hate bell peppers (green, red, yellow) and anything else in the "spoiled dairy" category which includes yogurt, cheese, sour cream, etc.) I will eat cheese in tiny quantities if it is melted.

    That's about it. I'm fine with food outside of that!

    I'm a vegetarian but apart from that I eat pretty much anything - with one exception: F*** kale. :laugh:

    I eat everything. Everything. However I refuse too greasy foods usually because my conscience can't take it.

    This is due to a hormonal imbalance that I found could be controlled by removing these foods: refined sugars, refined flours, caffeine and alcohol. I have tried in the past to eat it occasionally and it completely throws me off. So, now I refuse to touch anything that contains at least one of those four. But, everything else I eat with full pleasure. :laugh:

    I will not eat cooked peas or cooked carrots. I love them raw, just not cooked. :noway:

    He that's funny, I've got a thing with cooked carrots as well. I'll eat them, but I much prefer them raw (or roasted). But boiled carrots are just... meh.
