    Polenta. With it's rich golden colour, it looked so nice; tasted crap. Or rather, it didn't really taste of anything. I didn't like the texture either. That was a big disappointment!

    I have a coeliac friend who takes issue with polenta too. The stuff that is fashioned into supposed 'chips' aggrieve her the most. I don't mind it when it's the mush at the side of the plate with a knob of butter and some parmesan. The stuff you buy all stuck together and then fry/roast, not so much.

    A coeliac shouldn't have any problem with polenta, it's usually just corn and water. If she bought pre-packaged polenta chips, maybe they contained gluten for some reason, or there is a contamination risk where they were made. To be fair, I really should've expected not to like polenta since I don't like corn, lol. XD

    Oh, I meant she hates it, not that she can't eat it. She just ends up being offered it a lot in places and thinks it sucks.

    I love polenta! But, of course, I make it creamy by cooking it in milk and adding marscopone cheese at the end. :laugh:


    Oooh.

    Campbells slow cooker Sweet Korean BBQ. YUCK! As soon as it heated up enough to smell it, i wanted to gag. Literally smelled unlike any body odor/ stinky feet combination imaginable. Being one who despises waste, i tried it.... and it was just GROSS!

    I'm sure I have lots, but these are the ones that come to mind right now...

    Tofu. Everyone is always telling me it's tasteless and just takes on the flavor of what you cook it with. But to me there is a funky undertaste to it.

    Shellfish (any kind and any preparation). Always looks so appetizing, but yuck!

    Acorn squash. Made it for the first time a few months ago, and never again. Tasted and smelled just awful.

    Olives. Since I was a kid I just loved the look of olives. My dad and big sis used to eat them and I would be jealous. I've tried them multiple times but no matter how old I get they are as gross as ever.

    Anything from Arby's. They're aren't many Arby's around so when I see one, I want to go. Everytime though, it's a disappointment. Maybe I won't get fooled next time.

    I feel that way about Jack in the Box. They have menu items that look/sound awesome but all taste blah in reality...Although I love Arby's Reuben... not much else though...

    Truffles! The taste and smell make me puke.
    It's not something you happen to eat by mistake, but if anyone in the same restaurant orders something that has a minimal amount of truffle in it I start feeling nauseus and sick. Even if they're sitting on the other side of the room. Once I was in a fancy pub that had a sandwich with truffle butter in the menu. I ordered another sandwich of course, but when I took the first bite I could swear someone had "forgotten" to wash the knife before cutting my bread. I asked the waiter if someone else had ordered the damn truffle butter sandwich... Bingo :laugh:
