      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.

      Just FYI - bananas help lower your sodium intake as they are high in potassium. If you don't like them, have you tried including them in a smoothie with strawberries and vanilla yogurt and almond milk?

      Onions...love the taste in food but its texture is almost guaranteed to make me sick. I stick to the powdered version.

      I cannot eat mushy fruits! Like if a banana is slightly overripe, I can't eat it. I like it when my fruits are firm. Also, cooked carrots. Blegh!

      So many good responses! Again -- thank you to all who have responded so far. I am feeling like much less of a picky eater now for not liking mushrooms!

      I wish I liked zucchini. It's okay raw, but I can't stand it cooked.

      I wish I could eat a good, crusty piece of baguette. I haven't had any gluten in the almost 18 years since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. There's a lot I wish I could eat. Good pizza. Good bread. A decent beer.

      Oranges and cottage cheese and oatmeal.

      I wish I didn't like cookies--I have such a sweet tooth and can convince myself that "one cookie won't hurt". yeah right-when has anyone ever eaten ONE cookie?!?!! Certainly not me or I wouldn't be here with weight to lose!!!!!

      Oh, and hummus, the name sounds like dirt :o

      You don't like it because of the name? Couldn't you just call it something else?

      No. There are very few foods I dislike, so not liking them does not restrict my diet in any way.

      Kale is one. I gave it two tries made two very different ways...hated both. So I moved on. There are many very healthy foods in the world...there is no magic to kale.

      This past summer my MIL saw me eating zucchini raw and thought I was crazy. They live on a farm and have grown zucchini for decades, yet she'd never even tried it raw.

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

      Any suggestions?

      I learned to drink it by first mixing hot cocoa mix with it... which I grasp adds a few calories! But it got me used to the taste. It actually only took me one morning of hot cocoa + coffee before I moved on to black coffee.

      Sardines are the things I keep trying to eat and failing. Cheap, convenient, nutritious and... just can't do it! I'm going to keep trying, though. My tastes keep expanding as I get older, so hopefully they will expand to include sardines.

      Gotta add two more for my list. Can't do seafood. The texture of almost all fish (except the canned tuna) grosses me out and crab made me HORRIBLY sick. Also, not a fan of avocados either. Guacaole tastes like dirt to me. I don't know why!

      Tomatoes. I can't do it. I don't know why. Especially cooked pieces of tomato....oh no. The texture is just awful to me. I don't know why. I have to make my spagetti sauces with tomato sauce (no chunks) and tomato paste. Can't have chunks of tomato.

      100% agree with you. I don't do chunky tomato

      FISH--omg, if i enjoyed Fish it would be life-changing!!!!
      Peas and Mushrooms are enjoyed by so many ppl but i can't tolerate either one.
      May i also add Mayonnaise to the list of foods that taste awful to me?
      On the other hand, not that you asked, but i do love Cilantro, hot spicy, foods, Brussels Sprouts and Beets....many ppl have not acquired a taste for those 4.
      Great Topic OP!!!!

      What I do is get the french vanilla dunkin donuts coffee (make it at home of course) and I get the single serve international delights creamer (french vanilla of the coldstone creamery vanilla are my favorites) and use like 2 of them and a couple packets of splenda and viola! Really delicious coffee!

      I wish I liked cooked broccoli and cauliflower. I can eat them raw, but I've never liked them cooked in any way I've tried...

      I also don't like the texture of raw veggie's and seafood. No salads or fish. No wonder I'm on here trying to lose weight. :)

      SHELLFISH!! Have alwasy been allergic to iodine but could still eat shellfish as long as I didn't over do it. 2 years ago, ate 1 shrimp and started itching. Has only gotten worse. I miss my crab legs, crab cakes, lobster, clam & shrimp.

      I wish I liked celery. I can't deal with the stringiness. Other than that, there are a lot of foods I wish I didn't like! LOL
