Ok, this is meant to be kind of a fun post.

Are there any foods that you wished you liked or think you should like but don't? For example, I absolutely HATE oatmeal. I will force myself to eat it at times and put bananas or raisins in it to make it more palatable, but I really can't stand it. Some people say they love oatmeal and I'm like, YUCK!!! Who could "love" that stuff. I wish I liked it because it's sooooo healthy but I just can't get over the texture/taste. I am not a picky eater so I like most stuff, but I don't care to eat apples that much either.

What are some foods that you wished you liked, but don't?

    I don't really care for eggs either. I will scramble some thinking they sound good and they never are. no matter how I make them.

    Eggs

    I also wish I didn't have a fish allergy because it all looks so darn tasty to me!

    Tomatoes D:
    I'd say cucumbers, but I absolutely despise them...

    Definitely Egg whites. I used to like them a lot, but I had a bad omelet once.... No. More.
    And I am SO there with the oatmeal.... I imagine myself liking it, and I WANT to enjoy it, but sometimes it's blah.

    I don't really like the mush of oatmeal either so I eat it raw - lots! I do 1/3c large flake oatmeal plus 15g (1tbsp) peanut butter and mix it up well. Then I add a small (or half) banana or apple. It's pretty yummy actually, I much prefer this texture!

    Mushrooms, asparagus, brussels sprouts, lima beans, beets, radishes. Mushrooms would make my life a lot easier. :)

    Crab, shrimp, lobster, shellfish. I love other fish, squid, octopus, etc. but can't get past the texture (and in crab and lobster's case, taste).

    I used to say this about yogurt. I always wanted to like it for its "good diet food" properties. It is just too soupy and I'd keep buying it wanting to enjoy it but sure enough it sat in the fridge, surpassing its expiration date. UNTIL greek yogurt hit the scene... I love it and its thick, satisfying texture. Way more protein than regular so it's a win win for me now.

    It would probably be easier for me to list foods I like but wish I didn't.

    I don't like cottage cheese but sometimes wish I could stomach it. I have severe texture issues.

    I really don't care for salad very much. I know that "salad" includes endless varieties, with endless ingredients, and I don't mind eating it when other people make it, and will even order it sometimes in a restaurant, but I rarely make salads for myself.

    Eggs
    Cottage cheese
    Oranges/orange juice
    Lemons and limes
    Tomatoes (sometimes)
    Sweet potatoes

    And a couple things I like the taste of but my stomach isn't crazy about:
    Broccoli
    Bananas
    Milk
    Beans

    I also wish I wasn't allergic to strawberries :(

    I don't exactly love cottage cheese either, but it is nice with maple syrup (seriously!) (but then again maybe I'm just Canadian.) And/or some cranberries, chocolate chips and a sprinkling of muesli!! :)

    I have never thought of this before. I may have to try!!

    I'm the same about lemon flavor. I can add lemon to my water and drink lemonade, but I hate lemon candy or pastries/desserts that are lemon flavored.

    Mushrooms and shrimp! I even try to sneak them into dishes to convince myself to like them, but I just don't!

    I'm not big on yogurt either for the simple fact that there's a fair amount of calories for something that makes me feel like I've still eaten nothing after I'm done. I swear it makes me more hungry!! I should give Greek yogurt a try.

    Pasta and rice, I went off them when I was pregnant with my third and havent touched it since...sometimes a blessing i guess but it makes it a pain at times. I like the trade off tho, hated fish until that pregnancy and now eat tonnes of the stuff.

    I used to feel the same way about yogurt, hated the consistency of it. Now I put a cup of yogurt in the freezer an hour or so before I eat it so it gets a consistency more like ice cream or sherbet...works for me

    ugh, definitely eggs. i can't handle them scrambled, flipped, whatever. so gross. unless they're covered in cheese, peppers, onions, and turkey/bacon. and i really don't like mushrooms- they taste good, but the texture is absolutely awful.
