    Liver, any kind.

    I was having a hard time thinking of something I don't like. But here it is. I HATE liver. Bleck. I'm sure there is more, but I do like lots of different foods.

    I'm not a fan of milk, yuck! If I have to drink it it has to be skim milk, really cold and I have to just down it. The other is fish. I know fish is so good for you, but seems no matter how I try it, if it's not a fish stick or Long John's I can't stand it. If you have any ideas how I can like it please let me know!! I will eat shrimp cocktail, though!

    My fish-hating son now refers to our Pollock filets as "epic fish." We make a salt-free breading for it (it's not high carb or high calorie), and then bake it instead of fry. It's a bit peppery/spicy, but it's very tasty, and it works for my fish-hater!

    I can't give an exact recipe, because I don't know--my husband makes it. But it's got lemon zest, pepper, corn flake crumbs, a tiny bit of salt-free Cajun seasoning, and then whatever else sounds good at the moment. Experiment, you might find a mix you like!

    Thanks so much, I'll try it!!

    Can't stand liver. I tried to like it, I really did. It even smells good when cooked right. But I can't stomach the texture.

    Same with Tofu. It's too jiggly. If I want food that jiggles, I'll eat Jello.

    Artichokes. Anchovies. Olives.

    Mine is yogurt. I wish I could learn to love it. I've tried a lot of brands and flavors, but they all end up tasting like sour milk :(
    Try throwing it in the freezer! I can't stand yogurt either, but somehow it tastes better while a bit icy! And today, something magical happened after I transferred it to the fridge for awhile--it was like soft ice cream! Delicious!

    I'm not a yogurt lover (I enjoy a few flavors but most I don't) - I never thought to try and make it like ice cream! Love that idea...I'm gonna try that today! I hate milk and don't eat yogurt so I do NOT get enough calcium - maybe I just found a new favorite! Thanks for the idea!

    I Hate All Cooked Veggies! Except corn & potatoes, but of course, those are pretty much not classed as veggies - at least I like salad so I can get veggies that way.

    Broccoli, green peppers, raw onions (especially the red ones), and most anything soy. Blech.

    Fresh carrots. I tried adding some cinnamon but I still don't like them. I can stomach them, though. Gonna force some down today, as a matter of fact.

    I usually roast them in the oven - I coat them with a tiny bit of olive oil, coconut oil, a little chipotle seasoning, brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon. So bad for you but sooooo gooooood!!!! After all that, they don't taste like carrots anymore. It's a mix between a cinnabon and seasoned sweet potato fries (b/c a little kick comes from the chipotle seasoning).

    We all have foods that we don't like, good for you or not. The ones that I eat anyway because of nutritional benefits are carrots, apples, and plain steamed broccoli (would love some real butter and cheese on it).

    No one else I've talked to had understood me when I say it tastes sour. They all look at me funny lol I'm like "It's not Sour Patch Kids sour, but more like sour cream." I like sour cream, don't get my wrong. But yogurt tastes like sour cream with fruity crap in it. No thanks! lol

    I forgot that I hate Hate HATE dairy milk. For real it tastes disgusting now, I had to give it up for a year because my daughter was breastfeeding and intolerant to it so I'd been drinking soy milk (which admittedly sorta tasted like cardboard at the beginning) and then moved on to almond milk so when I tried to drink cow milk again I gagged. Its hard for me to describe but the thick texture and the taste are just so gross now, I can't even tell if the milk is actually still good by smelling so husband has to check it for me if I need to use it and its around the expire date.

    Oh geez... where do I start!? Eggs, Greek yogurt, tofu (actually anything made of soy), almonds, cooked greens, most fish (especially salmon), brown rice, whole wheat bread, cauliflower, broccoli, squash.

    Fortunately... the list of healthy foods I DO like is even longer than the list of the ones I do not care for. :-)

    I wish I wasn't allergic and highly hate fish (even the smell makes me gag)

    given how little meat i eat, it'd be great to actually like fish.

    Oh and mushrooms. Stuffed big mushrooms would be a great healthy meal but yuck.

    Actually i wished i liked vegetables. i hate nearly all of them.

    For the record I also love oatmeal :D


    Apparently i cannot type at all tonight.

    I dislike most vegetables (califlower and brocolli esp), whole wheat bread, brown rice, greek yogurt, eggs, and kind of nut

    I'm sure there's more - I'm a really picky eater. Working on increasing the list of things I eat.

    I can't stand green beans, black eye peas, raw tomatoes or sweet potatoes. Bleh!!

    But I love seafood and green/red/yellow peppers!!!

    Reading this is making me hungry. I am not a picky eater but... I do not sour or sharp tasing greens like Kale and mustard greens. Love spinach and chard though. I like other sour things like citrus and even yogurt. How could anyone not like artichokes. I am a bit bored with marinated ones but fresh cooked with lemon, garlic butter. Yum.

    I hate peppers! And the annoying thing is is that they're in almost everything! Grr, I can't even pick them out because they leave such a horrid taste!
    I agree I hate them!!! and eggs any way except for in a cake ha ha ha :wink:

    onions... i think that is the only thing... wait no, i hate any kind of fat free dairy product, except yogurt, i can deal with fat free yogurt but my milk i'll have whole, and my cheese i'll have full fat.

    I hate most leafy green vegetables and raw vegetables, mostly cucumbers and carrots. If they're properly cooked and hidden in the meal, I can handle them, but I've never been able to stomach a salad.
    I've never liked the texture of yogurt either. Greek yogurt it downright terrible, being both bitter and yogurt!

    i really can't stand garlic. it's so.. pungent, and has this awful aromatic smell that seems to linger for forever. i think i might be intolerant to it or something, i get stomachaches after eating it.
    ginger, on the other hand.. ;)

    Vegetables except for: Lettuce, cucumbers, raw carrots, corn, and green beans.
    Fruits except for apples and grapes

    This whole thing would be much easier if I could learn to like those.

    The cure for greek yogurt is to stir in honey. Seriously. It will convert all greek yo-haters.
