Almost all of it
Let me start buy saying I never liked eating it used to make me feel bad. And I never ate green things till I was in college.
anyway I am 38 and tring to lose weight cause a box of ho ho’s is not good for my bowle movements. I learned I do like some green stuff but not a lot. Dose anyone know of things with iron that are not green. I do love meat I am a meat an potato’s kind of person.
As for what I do t like- cooked Spinach, cooked broccoli of any kind, cauliflower, sauerkraut, I can’t eat sausage it’s too hard on my stomach, I now only drink almond vanilla milk because the others either don’t taste good or don’t agree with my stomach,Asparagus I can only eat if it’s drenched in teriyaki sauce, I don’t like pears or peaches or actual pineapples but I do you like the juice to each one of those I’m allergic to lime, I don’t eat actual fruits I just like the things that are supposed to taste like them for example love lemonade I don’t eat lemons, Love strawberry lemonade don’t like to eat strawberries.0 -

Beets - they taste like dirt.
Raw broccoli - I prefer it cooked
Green beans, unless sauteed in garlic or spicy sauce like in Thai or Chinese restaurants
Green bell peppers - too bitter and one little piece added to a dish takes over the whole dish. I do like yellow and orange bells though.
Sea urchin (maybe I've had bad luck and gotten a bad batch each time) but they tasted foul.
Eggplant is too rich for me (although my grandma's spicy eggplant-tomato spread is good).
Cream sauce. I don't want something heavy and bland covering up something I want to taste.
Pasta if it has too much sauce
Mac 'n' cheese if it's too soupy and bland or goopy. I want some cheese I can sink my teeth into (baked mac), not baby food.
Mayonnaise, especially on seafood. I want to taste the fish or shellfish, not the mayo! I think mayo is for people who hate fish. And I want tangy condiments on burgers, not mayo or thousand island dressing.0 -
Insert my husband's F-bomb-laden rant on kale here - something about it being a roadside weed that a badger pissed on, etc etc.3

Dont like cauliflower, Brussel sprouts. And seafood. Love fish but not a fan of slimy bottom feeders. And dont like rice cakes. ( does anyone truly like these?!)0

Reading this made me LOL........ maybe just maybe learn to cook
I can cook just fine, you silly bugger!
I just won't make the dishes I don't like. 4 -
Cottage cheese, tomatoes, bell peppers, grapefruit, and bananas.
I don't mind the taste of cottage cheese, but the texture bothers me. It feels like chunky vomit.

Oatmeal. I've tried so many times to like it and eat it in the morning, but it makes me gag. And raw broccoli. I LOVE it roasted or in stir-fry but I can't eat it raw.0
-
I HATE Liver. I had a step father who tried to force 8 year old me to eat it. He would force me to sit at the kitchen table until he thought I would give in and eat it. LOL, I never did. One time I sat there till midnight, he finally went to bed and I threw it in the trash Another time I fed it to the dog under the table. No one should ever try to force a kid to eat any food.2
-
Cabbage. I won't eat it, not in any form - raw, cooked, baked, sauerkraut, kimchi. Really don't care for brussels sprouts by extension too.
Oysters. Like swallowing snot.
Oatmeal - I'll only eat it one way with blueberries and cinnamon, and I can't look at it. It looks like vomit and kind has a texture like that too.0 -

But read what you wrote. You simply wont eat certain food only because they are done a certain way. Anything cooked properly will have good taste and texture. I find this is the reason why most ppl simply dislike various foods.
For me as a child it was breaded bone in pork chops my mom would make. It was nothing but a fat soggy overcooked peace of meat. Ditto steak. Steak was like leather. It wasnt until I learned how stuff should be prepared that I started eating many things.
Actually, she said she doesn't like certain foods IF they are prepared in a certain way. Completely different. I also refuse to eat raw broccoli, but steamed or roasted, it is one of my favorite foods.1 -
Kale.0

Fish .0

Bell Peppers. I don't care how they are prepared... I hate them. Strangely - when I was a kid I loved them and ate them like apples.0

@crazyravr I see where you're coming from on your experiences. However, what I don't like is the way some foods are prepared in some restaurants, as @pinuplove noted.
My favorite mac n cheese, for example, is either baked or with just enough sauce to coat. It's just that I keep running into the goopier kind at restaurants.
Oh drat, my post makes it look like I don't like pasta. Should have reworded it to "heavily-sauced pasta"
Unfortunately, there's not much I can do to improve sea urchin sushi 1 -
Probably depends on the dish and preparation. I imagine with the pasta example I can say "light on sauce". In some cases, if the cooking style I want is too different (baked vs goopy mac) I'll just order a different dish.

Oh geesh, this is a thread about HEALTHY foods we don't like, and I just put a list of foods in general.
Guess ANY food can be healthy in the right amount.
(oh no, where am I going with this? now people are going to start arguing about that)
...wanders off in a daze4 -

No worries. I wasn't quite as evolved when I started this as I am now. "Healthy" is about as useful a descriptor as "clean." 1 -
Kale. Tough and bitter. No amount of dressing, toppings or combination with fruit can mask this nasty green. Not a fan of collards either but I can eat them. Kale, disgusting. It should have stayed as a garnish on your restaurant appetizer or entree plate.1
-
Fresh pomegranate. It's hard and gets stuck in my teeth.
Peanut butter, which probably doesn't count as a health food anyway.
Beetroot and the way it seems to find its way into every salad.
Anything with coriander in it!
Edit : forgot brussel sprouts!0 -
And after you eat it, it looks like you just murdered someone (spurting juice)comptonelizabeth wrote: »Fresh pomegranate. It's hard and gets stuck in my teeth.

add Tofu - it's evil - & low fat diet ice cream - I want the real thing - with fat0

I hate every kind of good food that they adulterate to try to make it "healthy."
Sugar-free cookies. Low-fat ice cream. Diet soda. etc.
If you want a treat, but you don't want to be unhealthy, eat a piece of fruit or some raw vegetables (which I like) or even a small piece of dark chocolate.
But don't take something good and ruin it by taking the goodness out and replacing it with something artificial that just does not compare.
I vote for the dried banana chip over the fat-free potato chip.
I'd even take a rice cake with natural peanut butter over a diet cookie.
Perrier over diet soda.
Fruit tastes great, and there's fiber in a piece of fruit, so it doesn't dump its sugars all at once and challenge your insulin response. It has nutrients too. Sugar-free dessert may not be "bad" for you. But it isn't any "good" either.1 -
Kale. I tried to eat it. I really did, but it is just not good. I'm pretty sure it's a conspiracy. Like they grew too much of it and were like "let's call this a 'superfood' so everyone will buy it" and everyone did, but I've seen garden weeds that looked tastier.0
-
Oh boy, just a couple?
I can't stand beets, they taste like dirt no matter how they're cooked.
Raw celery. Yeah, everyone says it tastes like nothing, but it tastes like SOMETHING yucky!
Grapefruit. Too sour.0 -
kale!1
-
I don't know if it's really "healthy" or just fad stuff, but my cousin made some tofu cookies once.
I ate a mouth full of dirt and grass playing football once and that tasted better. Since then anything with tofu I just can't eat. They were that bad.0 -
carrots
tomatos
bell peppers
fish, except tuna is ok0
