    Calves' liver. Just can't do it. Grandma tried to make me eat some as a kid. I threw up the one bite she convinced me to take.

    Other livers and offal I like, or at least simply severely dislike (hello, kidney) rather than having instant nausea.

    Shrimp. Rest of the family loves it. Every time my husband orders it a different way in a restaurant he'd keep saying, "try it this way, you'll like it this time." No, I don't. Looks like a bug, feels like I'm chewing on a lump of fat cut off a pork chop, tastes like death. Stop asking.

    This thread makes me so glad I am not at all picky. I eat everything.

    Any seafood other than tinned tuna. So wish I did but the smell and taste makes me feel sick. I can't tell you how many chickens I get though on a holiday when my partner eats nothing but fish.

    We are like opposites. I love pretty much ALL fish other than canned tuna.

    Sweet potatoes. Oh my god, horrible.

    I don't like canned sweet potatoes AT ALL (in fact am not a fan of most canned veggies except corn and tomatoes...) but fresh baked yams/sweet potatoes...mmm.mmmm.

    Sweet potatoes.

    I had never had a whole one before and the Christmas before last a friend brought me one to work. I didn't realize it was rotten and ate it. I got so sick the next day that I had to call into work for the first time in four years. From that day forward I can never even imagin one without wanting to puke.

    This made me laugh out loud!!

    There isn't much I don't eat. I don't particularly like raw onions, but I'll eat them if I have to. I'm not a very picky eater, but my husband and son are. They won't eat anything!! So hard to cook when I want to try all kinds of new things, and they just want the same old boring stuff all the time...Sigh!

    Every second time I pull up this thread there's a light mayo ad on the sidebar. Because mayo seems to show up on so many "nope" lists this makes me giggle.

    In general I am not a fan of mayo, but I do like a little bit of it on a tomato sandwich or on a BLT, but only a very little bit. I also like it for potato salad or cole slaw, but that's it.

    When I see people slather it on or the glob that's plopped on a Whopper if they forget that I asked for it WITHOUT MAYO...I want to barf.

    Cabbage, in any form.
    Mayonnaise
    So by default Cole Slaw
    Brussels sprouts
    Asparagus (I only have to smell it cooking to gag)
    Eggplant
    Large chunks of onion (small and diced is OK)

    Hahaha. My sister used to get a big glob on a knife and then lick it. So nasty.


    I also don't like *any* salad dressings, except for the vinaigrette at Texas Roadhouse.

    Yeah, those associations can be hard to get over. The only time I ever vomited in school (which of course was humiliating) was when I was 7 after eating some peach cobbler (or "peach cobbler") at lunch, and I was unable to eat anything peach (including peaches) until my 20s. Very happy I got over it eventually, as peaches are now one of my favorite fruits (and I can make a pretty good peach cobbler).

    over cooked spinach makes me want to puke. It is so mushy and it actually tastes like dirt. I know that cooking it makes it better (because the nutrients are more digestible) but it really is a fine line between slightly cooked and like eating wet grass.

    Mushrooms (this makes me sad)
    Green Olives
    Liver/Brain (other organ meats are fine)

    Milk & sweet corn for me.

    Milk because I hate the smell & when some spills on you & it dries a little that smell makes me feel sick, I tend to have almond milk with porridge if I'm having anything milk related.

    Sweet corn I just hate the taste & texture.

    Now that you guys mention foods that made you puke. On my 13th birthday I was really sick. Had a terrible flu. My mom got me a cake anyway, and I had a small piece. Totally puked it up, and now I can't eat cake either. I had forgotten about that one...BTW, that was also the last time I ever puked!! EVER!! True story (I'm almost 43 now)...

    Sweet pickles, cottage cheese, and Brussels sprouts

    YES!!!! finally someone else said Brussel Sprouts. I am tired of fighting this fight alone. They are a vial weed that smell like feet. All my family and friends love them.

    Also cilantro tastes like a mix of soap and spearmint gum.

    Also organ meat.

    One time I ate at Chipotle and threw up for whatever reason. If I get a burrito from there with bell peppers on it, I associate that flavor with puking.

    I hated mushrooms so much as a kid that I would puke if I ate them. I can do mushrooms now if I bought them fresh, but I still won't go near slimy canned monstrosities.

    The smell of olives (especially the olive bar at the grocery store) will turn my stomach. I have to race past that part of the deli. lol

    OMG, Virgo sister!!! I hate salad dressing so much. Lemon juice and olive oil on salads for me. Sometimes I skip the oil and just let tomatoes get all juicy up in there.

    Cauliflower. Which is why I cannot understand this cauliflower substitute for potatoes, or pizza crust or other disgusting things. It is not a substitute. blech.

    And beets.

    Spam... I have never eaten it but the husband loves it... I cannot abide the smell of it and he really likes it cooked, ick! We have a mutual understanding: he doesn't cook Spam unless I'm away overnight (so the house airs out) and I don't hide his tools.
