What foods won't you eat?

Very much so.

But I bet 99% of people are saying hey dislike stuff just because hey have had badly cooked or frozen mush. I bet 99% of people would change here opinion if they tried some properly prepared and cooked food. especially things like blue cheese, aubergine, veg, chinese, indian.
There's so much variety in them. Like people saying blue cheese, but they like normal cheese. There are lot's of mild blue cheeses.

Aye, I think a lot of it goes back to the fact that home cooking isn't the same over here as it is on the continent. There's a disconnect between what people see on a plate and where it comes from, and a lot of people are wary of trying anything that isn't breaded and shaped like a dinosaur.

Indeed - I think a lot of people go through that stage, but too many people (and I don't mean to be rude to the Brits) in this country are so boring in terms of new foods owing to their lack of exposure to other cultures. I mean this in, an unfortunate way, not a degrading way. Some of us have been very lucky to have lived around the world and brought up in an environment were gastronomical diversity was rather large. However this brings me on to exactly your poing of "won't" like. :mad: The most maddening thing ever! You have an opportunity to open your pallette up to new experiences yet you give yourself a pre-conceived idea that you won't like it... why?! :/

Good on you though for pushing the envelope and trying new things. :)

Indeed - as a nation we're just rubbish!

I'm really not picky at all when it comes to food and will try ANYTHING at least once. There is a few things i absolutely despise though: Broccolli, Liver and Kidney but the worst of all that i wouldn't eat even if you paid me £1,000,000: BLACK PUDDING! **** that.

You seriously wouldn't take £1,000,000 to eat black pudding?
 
mushrooms -used to eat

will avoid if possible eggs and liver although I will eat it if I m very hungry :(

Though if you were at a dinner party and the person asked you "what don't you eat" - I cringe when people make a list.... just eat what you've been given!

I don' even ask. My mates know that they will be given what I cook. If they don't eat it I couldn't care less. But most of my friends have liked everything I cooked even if they thought they didn't.
 
Only food I can't eat are butter beans.

Everything else is normally fine, even the dreaded mushrooms, broccoli, sprouts etc.
 
Not a lover of most seafood though there are few that I do enjoy. That's the main food group that I have the most dislikes for, otherwise I like most food.

Edit : Should have added that I won't eat anything that is on the 'avoid' list of my Genotype diet but that is another and more complicated story.

not that I have kids yet but I plan to one day, can't you try the if you don't eat it you go hungry trick? Or doesn't that work? :o

yup. we've done that several times and he goes to bed hungry. The trouble is that he will wake up in the middle of the night crying as his tummy is rumbling so much.
 
I don't like:

Avocado UNLESS it is guacamole.
Mango.
Tinned asparagus.
Large tomatoes (cherry toms are fine).
Gammon.
Mushy/canned peas.
Brussel sprouts.
Sweet popcorn.

Pretty much anything else is game.
 
Cottage cheese *shudders*
Mushrooms, although I've recently been trying to force myself to like them, it's not working.

Other than that, all food is good.
 
Tuna and tomato ketchup - absolutely vile.

I'm generally fine with everything else, but some things have to be cooked in a certain way for me to click with them.

Incorrect. It comes from a chicken's vagina, and is in fact a period.

Fancy one now? :p

I'll always try something, but I don't like olives or shellfish. I'm not keen on mushrooms, and I'd rather not have them than have them, but I'm not bothered.

Oh yes because we can control how we are born and how our tastebuds form and how we like/dislike things.
We cannot help it, so if something goes in my mouth and it tastes wrank, usually a case of not eating it again.

But I have experiences that age does change your dislikes into likes.

Never liked tomato before, or onions, now I do.
 
I won't eat anything with hydrogenated fat, I won't eat crisps, sweets, microwave food, I won't eat food that isn't meat that contains saturated fat, I won't drink milk or alcahol, I won't eat dairy, I won't eat anything with poor nutritional value.

My daily diet consists of:

Oats/Pasta/Rice
Chicken/Fish - occasionally other meats like mince beef or sausages for a treat
Vegetables
Eggs


Every day.
