Wow!! Sorry to offend your kitchen. But seriously, if I'm eating anything and notice bits of mushroom, I pick out as many as I possibly can.
Also mushroom flavored stuff leaves a taste in my mouth, and a feeling in my stomach a long while after.
Anyway, you enjoy!!
That's how I feel about lima beans. They have no place in a frozen "mixed vegetables" package.2 -

One of my cats may oppose that. His name is Truffle and not named after the chocolate kind.

S'ok. It just means more for me. Mushrooms are one of my favorites things ever. Be sure to send yours my way.

I can't do mixed meats. It makes me squirm. So meatballs or meat loaf that are made with more than 1 type of meat are out too. The only exception is sushi.
Even though you can pick them apart and eat them separately?
Yep. I don't even like having 2 different types of meat in the same meal, let alone in the same dish. So really, any type of "mystery meat" concoction seems like a science experiment and not anything that should be eaten.
Also, all these fried carnival/fair foods are weird. Deep fried Kool-aid? Deep fried butter? Really? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Yes! Like drinking sweat.
There was a nasty Spearmint water I tried a few years ago. It tasted like water that was mixed with used spearmint chewing gum.0 -
This thread has reminded me that I have a bunch of dried fruit marinating in Grand Marnier and that I'd better turn it into fruitcake ASAP. My fruitcake does not suck.7

Kale . . . I know it's good for you, but it tastes terrible!! I have tried to like it, but I just can't. BLECK.
Creamed vegetables . . . especially creamed corn. GROSS. It smells terrible, looks terrible, tastes terrible. I don't get it.

Creamed corn out of a can is gross. Real creamed corn (real corn sauteed and served in a cooked down cream sauce), is delicious.
I also have a huge love of creamed spinach. It might actually be one of my desert island foods.2 -
candy corn.2

Ban yourself. Carrot cake is the greatest invention ever. Rum is a close 2nd.
You know, I'll bet a person could take some carrot cake, brush it with rum, layer it with cream cheese and/or mascarpone whipped with heavy cream, in a sort of tiramisu fashion, and really have something there.

Hmmm. Idea: Carrot Rum Cake!
Been done. As good as it sounds.
That said, I still prefer keeping them separate.0 -

Salted licorice? Never heard of that. You take a nice cherry Red Vine, and somebody went "This needs sodium" WTF is that?
Like all things, Spam (in moderation) is okay. Cubed and mixed with scrambled eggs is better than ham, IMHO.
3 Musketeers? Only candy that gives me instant diarrhea.........just horrible
Salted licorice is licorice flavoured, not red vine flavoured (calling that stuff licorice is wrong imo)...
i live in denmark where licorice is in literally everything.- Salted licorice? Got it.
- "Sweet" licorice? Check.
- Licorice in Chocolate bars.
- Licorice in Ice Cream.
- Licorice in cookies.
- Licorice in bread.
- Licorice in alcohol? of course.
- licorice flødeboller? you bet!
- Licorice gum? hahaha

The only thing remotely licorice flavored I can handle are anise flavored pizelles, and I haven't had them in years since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. And I think I used to like them more for the nostalgia factor than the actual taste. My grandmother made really good pizelles.

I'm more baffled by chicken feet and pigs feet...why would anyone want to eat feet, and what the heck is there even to eat on a chickens foot???
Pigs feet date back to slavery in the south when the owners would give the slaves the parts of the animal they wouldn't eat themselves.
A culture of cooking evolved around preparing these things for consumption and still exists today.

Those Strawberry marshmellow candies, taste like straight red food colouring.
Marzipan.... not my thing.0 -

And...
Beef pizzles
Hog maws
Pigs ears
I've seen some nasty stuff floating in jars of brine in many corner stores and delis growing up down South. And wondered how long they've been there.

Chitterlings are intestines. Pork rinds are fried pig skin. Maybe you're thinking crackling.0
