I love a wide variety of foods, but there are a few of the more typical 'healthy' foods that I simply cannot stand!

Raw celery - the crunchy, stringy texture kills me. I like it cooked in stews and soups though.
Cottage cheese - I just can't get past the fact that it already looks partially digested.
Tuna - from a packet or as a steak, I just don't like it. I WANT to like it, and I've tried it many times but nada.
Most other seafood - as with tuna, I want to like seafood but just can't. I only eat salmon and very mild varieties of white fish.

Please post what you don't like and make me feel better about my pickiness! :laugh:

    My favorite way to wat cottage cheese (which I love btw) is over a WASA cracker or even as a dressing for my salads. But that's not what you asked :)

    1. Brocolli (can probably eat it steamed but not a fan of raw)
    2. tuna from a can (hate that smell)

    I hate cauliflower because it smells like farts when it's been cooked and doesnt keep at all. I also hate most fish. I love some shrimp though.

    Fish - Blergh, I only eat tuna and 9/10 thats mixed with baked beans
    Celery, nuts of any kind I can't stand the smell. Peanut butter, mango, cheese (I will eat it occassionally on toasted ham and tomato sandwichs, I don't get cheese on pizza - yuck) and don't get me started on Cottage cheese - puke worthy
    Tofu, spinach, brussell sprouts, mushrooms - My almost vegetarian child loves these (she eats fish and chicken because I make her, if she had her way she wouldn't eat them but she is only 13)

    - Cottage Cheese and Tuna, as well... Yuck.
    - Pineapple and pears
    - Not sure if eggs are considered "healthy", but I can't stand them, unless it's baked into something

    I generally love veggies though!

    I love most vegetables but there are some I just can't stand. Here's a list

    Cucumbers: yuck!
    Any type of beans
    peas
    Spinach (although I will eat baby spinach, but raw or steamed FORGET IT!)

    More healthy food I just can't stand: wheat bread, bananas, any type of melon (yes including water melon), tuna fish!, egg salad, not a big fan of mushrooms but again exceptions, nuts, bran cereal and oatmeal!!

    Okay, can i just say that I'm feeling pretty good about what I like to eat? I used to "hate" a lot of things, too, but have since either learned how to cook/prepare them so that they're actually tasty, or I've just "gotten over it".

    That said, there are a bunch of foods that aren't particularly healthy that I can't stand: mayo, olives, pickles, canned vegetables, canned pastas (barf), frozen breaded fish, processed soups/rices/noodles.

    I've learned to keep my grocery shopping to primarily the perimeter of the store (produce, deli, meat, dairy) and I avoid all the stuff I shouldn't be eating anyway. Doesn't always happen, but it's happening more times than it doesn't. So, yay for that.

    1. Mushrooms
    2. Olives
    3. Squash
    4. All types of seafood apart from calamari

    ♦ brown rice
    ♦ wholemeal bread
    ♦ wholegrain pasta
    ♦ bean sprouts
    ♦ seeds & nuts (unless baked in bread or cakes)

    Cauliflower has got to be the worst! It doesn't taste like mashed potatoes when you steam and mash it, it tastes and smells like alkaline acid to me.

    Canned Tuna is a close second for me.

    Any fruit that isn't Granny smith apples. BLECH. Most super especially bananas. I gag just peeling them for the kids!

    Veggies : I can eat most veggies, honestly. I'm not big on raw tomato, but I don't mind it cooked into things. Not a fan of sweet potato, eggplant, cucumber...

    I eat tuna fish. That's the ONLY seafood I eat.

    I do not do eggs. The only reason to eat eggs is that it holds my cookies / bread together. End of story. BLECH.

    I don't eat steak, or red meat with any pink. I don't eat pork, lamb, veal, etc. I don't eat dark meat chicken, only breast meat, and I won't chew it off a bone. ahhhhhhhh

    I detest celery, the texture, the smell, the taste. I don't like it cooked or raw or in seasoning.(I'm thinking I could make another "green eggs and ham" story out of this without the blissful ending!!!) I also cannot stand the smell of cabbage, but if I plug my nose the taste isn't too bad. I also do not enjoy raw onions though since I have been married and my husband loves them I do cook with them a lot, though at times this makes me a tearful mess!
