Most hated food

Miracle Whip...so disgusting. Don't like actual mayonnaise either.

Sticking my neck out here : peanut butter. I absolutely cannot stand the stuff and can't understand why everyone raves about it. I'm trying to gain weight and the answer is always : peanut butter. Bleurrggh!

Wow such an amzing list of foods, some of the stories about how you all got aversions to some foods are fantasic. My list is fairly small,

Not keen on oysters, agree why eat snot from a stone.
Sweets called chocolate limes, love limes, love chocolate, go figure
........

Nope thats about it, there are foods I would not choose to order, but will eat most things.

100% -> mushrooms

Pretyy much any form of vegetable but especially
- peas
- beans
- any form of pumpkin/squash

I would die. That's like 50% of my diet right there...

Olives
Artichokes
Raw celery

That's pretty much it I think...

Cilantro is hideous. And while I will eat fish, I find shell fish and other food derived from assorted sea creatures to be very offensive.

Kale

I don't get the whole kale thing.

I'm a really picky eater. Like, I'll try almost anything, but more often than not I end up not liking something, either because of its taste or texture or smell (or all three (i.e., fish). It sucks, but it is what it is, I guess. A few common foods/drinks that I hate are:

- coffee
- plain milk
- celery
- arugula
- brussel sprouts
- turnips
- asparagus
- fish (canned tuna exempted)
- organ meat
- chicken wings
- avocado
- plantains
- carrots
- cucumber
- coconuts
- coleslaw
- hummus
- nutella
- white chocolate
- marshmallows
- most cheeses
- most cold cereals
- most condiments/sauces/dips/dressings (i.e., salsa, guacamole, hot sauce, mustard, marinara, ranch, etc)
- etcetera

Wow.I'm surprised there are so many passionate food aversions.I must be rather odd.I can eat almost anything.
Really I must have a hardy digestive system.I'm not put off by much.I wouldn't want to eat bugs.But besides very unusual foods,I'll have a try.
The few things I wouldn't buy for myself would be liverwurst,or organ meats.My mother liked liverwurst sandwiches.But I just didn't care for the smell.
When I was younger I tried some of the vegetarian food products.Fake 'meats'.Some of the Boca Burgers,or Chicken was not bad.But one time I tried some nasty pale looking fake meat hot dog.It was repulsive.
I'm through with fake food passing itself off as something else.It's just shady.

Lucky you. I wish I didn't dislike as many foods as I do. Being a picky eater isn't a good thing, IMO.

Also, I agree with the liverwurst/organ meat thing. I have this one aunt who is always cooking innards (gizzards, heart, liver, kidney, tongue, brain, etc) so I try to avoid eating with her (or being near her, actually) at all costs. She knows I can't stomach it, but that doesn't stop her from trying to either trick me into eating it, or force it on me. It sucks. Like, no, I don't want to try fried pig brain, no, not even a little tiny taste, now would you please get that fork out of my face?

I cannot even be in the same room as cucumber. The smell makes me retch, I don't know why. Melon is a close second. Other than that, nothing I won't eat.

I kind of get this. I love cucumber, but the smell gets on my nerves. Also, I typically could eat melon, but all of a sudden, this past year, I refuse to even allow (specifically canteloupe) in my house. My bf has to cut it up outside & store it in the fridge on the porch (yes, I live in TX..haha) Nothing turns my stomach like the smell of canteloupe.

I agree, I have hated the smell of cantaloupe since I was a child. My kud and SO love the stuff and we plant it yearly. There are few worse smells that my refrigerator can have than that fresh cut cantaloupe smell.

I'll try most any food, but there are a few that I found legitimately gross. Fermented "acquired tastes" like natto and stinky tofu. Completely grossed out by balut (bird embryo). I've tried insects, don't understand the appeal. Once fried, you're just crunching on a tasteless exoskeleton full of oil. I tried a fried beetle once and it was like chewing hard plastic, tasted like it too. And I will not touch brains, haven't even tried it.

Walnuts suck.

Avocadoes, canned peas, pickled things that do not have a sweet component to balance the sour part. I don't ever plan to eat insects unless SHTF and I have to. Raw fish is awful, but I like raw clams and oysters. I love both black licorice and cilantro.

You should stay far away from Durian then.
