    1) Avocado
    2) Salmon
    3) Hummus


    Any suggestions on how to make them more appetizing in a healthy way would be much appreciated!:wink:

    My suggestion for the hummus is to heat it up a bit. I had a big problem with the texture if it was cold. My step father works for a huge hummus company, so it was always around. Last year I became a vegetarian and was looking for new things eat, so I microwaved some roasted red pepper hummus and ate it with a few naked pita chips and fell in love =)

    I have quite a few food dislikes (pickles!) but the one that I tried VERY hard to like was spaghetti squash. Sadly we are just not compatible.

    I wish I liked chestnuts... Everyone enjoys them at Christmas and I feel left out lol. Maybe I could try to dip them in chocolate, a thought :laugh:

    Fish, any seafood besides shrimp. It always sounds good how it is prepared when I am at a restaurant, but I just can't eat it. It is awful. Also, sweet potatoes. I don't even like them as French fries. Something fried that I don't like may be a good thing.

    There aren't many healthy foods that I dont like. Ginger (is that even healthy?) papaya, and lima beans are all I can think of. I will eat lima beans, but not the other two. I also dont like store bought hummus, but will make my own.

    To me, tuna is just red salmon with all the taste and awesome oil squeezed out of it. When salmon is available, why would anyone bother with tasteless tuna? I would also put salmon that is pink or anything less than red in the same category as tuna even though it is better than tuna.

    Tuna is cat food.

    And I guess this post is a little off topic as I don't really wish that I liked tuna. lol

    I would die if I had some sort of allergy to fruits and veggies, but there are ones that really turn me off:

    Brussels sprouts
    butternut squash
    frisee lettuce (a.k.a. chicory or curly endive)
    corn

    I saw your post peripherally and for a split second I thought you wrote 'frisbee lettuce'. I am chuckling like an idiot because I thought any food you don't like could be called frisbee tuna, or frisbee hummus... any food you would rather throw than have to eat...

    hahahahahaha

    For the most part I really like all the typical "yuck" foods (kale, brussel sprouts, tofu, broccoli, seafood, etc.).

    My "uh uh, no way" foods: raw onion, raw tomato, cottage cheese, hardboiled eggs, liver

    My "ok fine, but I'm not happy about it" foods: most meat (if my body absorbed non-heme iron better I would never touch beef, pork or poultry again), cooked carrots.

    I'm with you all on the cottage cheese. Also any kind of seafood (no healthy grilled fish for me, thanks).

    Fish...I wish I liked it, but the smell and the taste and the thought of it makes me sick. I am going to try it again to see if my tastes have changed. I ate a beet today and it didn't kill me.

    As a vegetarian who has enough trouble getting protein, I REALLY wish I liked eggs, but I can't stand them in any form. Adding eggs to just about anything is such an easy way to get extra protein without a lot of extra calories, but I can't stomach the taste, smell, or the fact that it is an egg. Yuck!

    I'm a vegan. DO NOT STRESS ABOUT "PROTEIN"!!!! There is protein in everything and you only way you will become protein deficient is if you do not eat ANYTHING! lol, even white rice has a lot of protein and too much protein in the body can be very acidic. A healthy amount of protein in the body is to achieve 5% of your daily calories from it.

    Best of luck and stop with the chicken periods ;)

    Based on no fact whatsoever. Just sayin. I have a few Vegan friends, and they all have that look. You know, waif like, pasty, not enough muscle tone. No wonder if they all think 5% protein is enough. Not saying you have to eat meat, I didn't for about 5 years, but you do need protein, sorry.

    To answer the question though, there are things I don't like. Mostly offal of any kind. And weird **** like snails. But I don't wish I did like them.

    chia seeds
    kale
    soup
    tofu
    whole grain bread (especially the really dense stuff, most whole grain health breads, i mean, i am ok with it but i dont love it like i love a white sourdough or french bread.)
    sugar free or fat free almost anything unless it is naturally sugar or fat free "lite"almost anything especially fat free cheese.
    diet frozen meals like lean cuisine or ww (not healthy at all, but supposedly better for you, and traste like crap)
    pomegranate juice
    acai juice

    Raw celery. Cooked is okay but raw is unacceptable. If I do eat it raw, I need lots of cream cheese or peanut butter but that defeats the purpose of a health food, right? Haha

    Brussel sprouts..I have tried every possible way i can think of to cook and like, but they are still too gross.

    Any kind of yogurt. I'm sure I could do with them handy dandy probiotics but they taste like the bitter vomit-y tears of children to me.

    Salmon.. oh how I loathe that nasty stuff. Yurk. Also olives, grapefruit, cantaloupe.

    Tomatoes, but only when raw. Cooked I am fine with.

    I'm with you on the brussel sprouts. Had them as a kid, hated them and never ate them again.
    I tried hummus, can live without it.
    Kale is just awful.

    Fat free cream cheese is not bad and mixed with pineapple chunks it tastes pretty darn good on the celery.

    Fish, I don't like any fish except tuna fish sandwiches
    Cantaloupe
    Milk (I am getting better though)
    Raw kale (I put it in my smoothies and I don't taste it)
    Tea, especially herbal tea, but I've gotten used to choking down black tea so, it's a start.
