    I love hot sauces, spaghetti sauce etc but not tomatoes. I can't stand stevia, so I won't eat foods with that as a sweetener. I could probably break the internet by listing foods I think are gross.

    I have so many allergies, it really sucks. I'm allergic to shellfish, squid, octopus, wheat, eggs, and grape juice (concord grapes to be exact). The terrible part is I truly like ALL foods! Except turnip. I could take or leave that one! Lol

    I am not that picky, really...I like almost everything named here. The stuff I don't like, I'm kind of glad I don't.

    Sometimes I wish I was a bigger fan of salad. I'm just not. I eat it, but I prefer other things. Actually though being on MFP and eating differently and learning more ways to prepare vegetables, I feel less "salad guilt" anyway so it's not a big deal. Also I'm cheap and can almost NEVER bring myself to order any type of salad in a restaurant...it just seems insane to me to pay several dollars for lettuce and a sprinkling of other ingredients that most places call their "side salad". No.

    Mostly I wish that I didn't have a sweet tooth. That would cut down SO much on temptations for me.

    Bananas...I hate the way the are mushy feeling to me. Strange because I like other mushy foods but bananas are just gross to me and make me gag. Sad because they are common at every race.

    Seafood and Melons. Of which just smelling any of either of those makes me want to hurl :(

    Two things I wish I liked but just cannot stand (because the texture is NASTY to me) -- Oatmeal and Mushrooms. How about you? Are there foods you really wished you could eat (because you like the flavor or the nutritional benefits) but you cannot eat (because of allergies or other aversions)?

    They were the two I was going to say!

    Kiwis. Hate that they make my throat itch and my stomach ache. Because they taste so damn good and look so heavenly delicious!

    Tomatoes, I don't eat. Tomato paste or ketchup, no problemo. Some things I can eat fresh, but not boiled or canned, like mushrooms, corn, peas and asparagus.

    Other than that, I'm satisfied with what I can eat, don't miss anything.

    Yay! I'm not alone on the tomato thing! Oh and I also don't like runny yolks....yuck!!

    Oh I wish I could eat pomegranates, they're so delicious!! But I'm allergic to them... :disappointed:

    I also wish I could like hot oatmeal, for these cold days to eat something warm... but I hate the texture. But I love eating oatmeal like cold cereal tho... I know, weird. :smiley:

    Another vote for Oatmeal, simply because of the texture.

    I really want to like celery and cucumbers but I'm just not a fan of the taste. ESPECIALLY celery. I will eat cucumber in sushi rolls but I'd prefer not to.

    I really wish I liked liver, excellent and cheap source of protein and vitamins.

    Can sort of deal with beef or pork liver, but I don't buy/cook it myself and chicken liver is among the few things I won't even eat out of politeness.

    Eggs. So versatile and relatively cheap, but I just don't like them.

    I posted this same question on my FB page and surprised at how many people there also responded bananas! I also know several folks who can't stand tomatoes. Love all these answers -- thanks for participating in my little poll.
