Many of foods mentioned in this thread so far are my favourites haha, seafood (especially prawns, scallops, squid), mushrooms in all their forms, pork belly, blue cheese (roquefort please), I love it all. Organ meet too, love a bit of liver or kidney but it has to be cooked correctly or the texture is wrong and it becomes disgusting.

I hate:
Anything really sweet, which includes most desserts. Anything other than fresh fruit where 'sweetness' is the predominant flavour. (If I go to a restaurant and everyone else has dessert I'll usually have a double whisky or another starter if I'm driving).
Sponge cake, apart from the sweetness the texture makes me gag.
Over-ripe bananas. I like them when they are yellow with just a hint of green, if it has a few black spots it's tolerable but not enjoyable, once the outside is predominantly black spots it will make me gag because of the texture.
Over-cooked red meat, too dry, just no. Steak must be rare.
Roast chicken or roast turkey, too dry. Most other chicken dishes are fine though. If I go to a roast and all they have is chicken/turkey I'll be happy eating just the skin.
Overly spicy food. I like food that to me tastes a little spicy but I'm very sensitive to spice so most other people would call the same dishes bland. I usually have a Dupiaza at Indian restaurants, occasionally a Rogan Josh but that's as far as I go.
Baked beans, again it's the texture.
Dark chocolate, too bitter.

Jesus Christ your mrs must love you :cry:

For me it is liver and kidney, i really don't like them.

I like liver pate. Don't think I've ever had it on it's own.
Same with Kidney, I like it in a steak and kindey pie. Not sure about ordering a massive lump of it.

Not a huge fan of tofu. Yet I'll eat offal...

Oh I'm not a fan of pears either.

Tofu I dont get either.

Okra is another

I had pigs trotters in Spain once. Almost threw up.

More of a drink hell, but I can’t see how anyone can like tonic water. I think it has the most awful taste.

name change to robtrotters

I don't think I can just drink tonic water on it's own, does taste a bit strange.
yet with gin it somehow works.

Just add gin, improves the taste a lot.

Tried goat once when I was on a Greek island, tasted like chicken.

Liquorice is probably the only thing I don't eat. It's the unique combination of the flavour and texture as I like gummy foods and I like aniseed but together... urgh.

Nevakonaza · 23 Mar 2023 at 12:40

Any seafood like Muscles,Cockles,Squid etc

Also Liver and any other body organs..erghh :cry:

Cockles are amazing!

Parsons are my fave, but you can't beat the ones from the seaside little van/hut sellers. I even drink the some of the vinegar from the jar it's so good :cry:

I agree with Liver, kidneys etc. Disgusting.
