    Cottage cheese. Was allergic or something as a kid and the texture looks gross to me now.

    Pickled beets (mom loved that bleh) and pasta salad. I can't look at pasta salad without feeling ill. >.<;;;;;

    raw onions
    shrimp & lobster.... but I love crab, scallops, and raw oysters - go figure
    green peas
    lamb
    popcorn
    deviled eggs, egg salad, potato salad, the yolk of a hard boiled egg... I see a trend

    Maybe I'm just a little picky :D

    Seafood! I hated seafood for most of my life (with the exception of maybe the odd shrimp now and then). Just couldn't stand the smell of it. A few years ago, my taste buds changed and now I love it, but unfortunately developed a shellfish allergy. Go figure!!!

    Cottage cheese is definitely another one for me. My mom used to love it with pineapple.

    Sheep trotters and tripe. Why would anyone choose to eat it?!

    Also, this stuff. tf66lqm6jkio.jpg

    Once when I was 7 or 8, my sister and I ate a whole packet of it between us. Never felt so sick after and never touched the stuff again.

    Green peas. Don't like them alone or in "fancy" casserole Mom used to make. You know, tuna noodle casserole with canned peas and those little cubed carrots...

    When I was a kid, you would have thought I was a monkey I ate so many bananas. Now, I cannot stand the smell of them...

    I puked after eating dipping dots. So no bueno.

    I remember dipping dots. Dots of sugar on paper, right? When my cousin, Debbie Sue, was little she was caught eating bird poop off the fence. She thought they were dipping dots. She is 64 now, but, to this day, we still call her Birdie Sue.

    Me and Birdie Sue. Around 1957.

    Dipping dots are like an icecream thingy. They’re like small hail sized balls of icecream.

    Any type of dark soda. I don't remember ever actually liking it, but my mom says I used to drink coke until I started having UTIs a lot, like a lot of little girls do, and was given water to drink all the time as a way to help prevent them.
    Even as a teenager, I never liked dark soda and now only ever drink any type of soda if I'm at a restaurant where I know the water tastes bad.
    I've even tried to like Dr Pepper, since everyone seems to like it I figured I'd give it a fair chance, but no... it's still pretty nasty

    It's called mishri/rock sugar.

    Byrd liver dust — this is what my botched spelling of liverwurst resulted in. It’s true: I’ve never liked Byrd liver dust and never will. But now that I’m a grownup I’m a liver lover, though I avoid it.

    Not a big fan of blood sausages (prietas), but I can tolerate them.

    Sat at the table for hours as a kid gagging and crying when Mom tried to force me to eat soggy cooked zucchini. Still not a fan, but I’ll eat it.
