    Tomatoes. Raisins. Bananas. I to this day cannot stand any of them. Over the years I have here and there given them another try just to see if things have changed, but nope. Still hate them.

    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.

    What is that? It looks like the crystals they use to keep stuff dried out, and I use in my litter box! In which case, yeah, that'd make you pretty sick, lol.

    There is a very long list of meat I've never tried including lamb, liver, bison, duck...so many. I think I had one bite of venison in my teens and didn't like it. I was never much for ribs or steak, either. Hate chicken wings. As a kid I would only eat breast meat which my grandparents saw as a major character flaw, lol (many of my relatives preferred dark meat and the other kids fought over the legs, ewww).

    Now I'm married to a guy who doesn't eat meat and that suits me very well. I haven't had pork or turkey in years and totally fine with it. Even though I DO love (and eat) hamburgers, roast beef, meatloaf, and chicken in Italian dishes or boneless chunks like you get at say, Chipotle (but not chicken on the bone)...I'm like a part-time vegetarian since he does all the cooking & we don't eat beef, pork or poultry at home. I love that he's not pounding on his chest saying "I need some ribeye steak, woman" like the stereotype.

    Pork chops. That's some prison tray fare.

    I had pork chops tonight for dinner with roasted brussel sprouts.
    I wish I could like brussel sprouts. They are beautiful on the stalk. Why do they taste so bitter though? :s

    The only way I can tolerate Brussels sprouts is if they are roasted. Come to think of it most foods I don't like are better roasted!

    Fish Sticks and any fish that might be the type of fish used in fish sticks. Made me sick as a child so I will not eat any fish that could have been used in fish sticks.

    Ketchup. Never liked it as a kid. Had a cousin who used to douse everything he ate with ketchup and it always turned my stomach. In high school I worked in a restaurant and one of my tasks was refilling the ketchup bottles from a giant tub in the back fridge (bet you never thought about why the ketchup bottles on restaurant tables are always full). The smell would make me retch every time. And when the bottles of ketchup were crusty around the rim...I shudder to think about it.

    Whenever we went out for Chinese food, my family would order shrimp and lobster sauce. It was my brother's absolute favorite...but the sauce always looked like mucus to me. Now it isn't something I'd order, but it doesn't taste as gross as it looks.

    Oh...they are revolting (marshmallow and coconut are two more things I don't eat)...but they were my mom's favorite growing up.

    I ate everything and anything, but not cauliflower. I haven't tasted cauliflower until I was 18. Something to do with how it smelled when boiled (grandma).
    Now I really enjoy it, although it's one of the foods which can be a bit nasty during digestion :)
