    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:

    I wish I liked oatmeal and eggs =( rules out 70% of most breakfast options.

    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.

    I really wish I like avocado!! It's sooo good for you, and I can't stand the texture. I'll eat it if it's in salad and i can puts lots of other things on my fork at the same time, but to just dig into an avocado...NO WAY!

    Also, I don't like raw onions. If I eat them, I burp onions all day long (TMI sorry)!

    Oh yes. Cilantro has ruined a lot of Tex-Mex restaurants for me. The taste overpowers some really yummy dishes.
    i read an article that said a study found that there is an actual gene that contributes to people either loving or hating cilantro!

    Real, gluten-y bread. How I miss thee.

    Gluten free bread just isn't the same, damn coeliac disease.

    I would like to eat a soft pretzel from the Philadelphia pretzel factory, but can't due to my Gluten allergy.

    Someone else said cilantro... I can't do it either! Yuck, yuck, yuck!! Totally ruins mexican food for me. Some things that I would love to be able to eat but can't because they give me a terrible stomach ache include: eggs, avocados, bananas, apples, and large quantities of many other fruits - the fruit intolerance just started a couple years ago and it totally bums me out because I LOVE fruit...

    Mushrooms. They're so healthy and a great meat substitute. I keep trying .

    Sausage......it smells so good and I love the taste but it has so many strange looking bits and pieces in there and when I think about what they might be it makes me nauseous! And some times there are little hard pieces and gristle......I just can't!

    Thank you for that.
    I cannot deal with cilantro either.
    (People have told me that I can "learn" to tolerate it.) Those people are not my friends anymore.

    Food I love but body hates: diary- specifically miss cheddar, pepperjack, & cottage cheese and yogurt; and spicy food. My taste buds love jalapenos, my stomach not so much :/

    I also wish I could stomach eggs and sweet potato in more ways than I can. Trying to get over it, but it's a bit hard. Just not a fan.

    I was also glad I read it, a while ago, because I used to be impatient with my non-picky son, who shuddered when presented with anything with cilantro in it. Makes me a bit more patient with him :)

    Coffee. I don't need the caffeine, but the stuff smells so good that I always wished I could like it.

    Also melons, because they look so good and yummy.

    Bananas are so yummy and I miss them.

    Spicy food because half the people I know make it. The peppers they use - I never even heard of them before I met these people and OMG, it's not even funny how spicy they are. AyAyAy. I'd end up in the hospital, lol.

    Yogurt, meats and veggies I don't like round out the list. :)

    Me too! I'm 47 and it's my new year's resolution to learn to like coffee this year!

    Any suggestions?

    Fortunately, my dh also hates the way cilantro tastes and neither of us are picky eaters at all. It just tastes bad to us every single time... like someone dumped dish soap on your food. I know it doesn't taste that way to everyone. I wish I liked it simply because people ruin otherwise tasty food with it. I disagree with the article that I could put it in pesto and grow to like it.

    My husband loves blue cheese, but the flavor turns my stomach!
    I also wish I liked blueberries. I love all other berries but blueberries are just too tart.

    Peanut butter, I overeat it, so I do not keep it around.

    For me its oatmeal and fruit. Vegetables and I are friends as I know how to make amazing salads with little fat-based products/oils/dressings. But fruit - they may be sweet but you cannot convince me to eat an apple.
