Food you hate

[Maccapacca]

Apart from extremes like very hot curries and chillies not a lot, I detest fresh coriander it makes me gag and when in a curry house I have to ask several time for none sprinkled over the top, but the still bring it covered in the stuff.

 

[zootfloot]

Olives
Some seafood (oily fish and some shellfish)

everything else is pretty fair game.

 

[dangermouse425]

Courgette.

[JDMaverick]

Tomatoes
Cheese, unless melted on toast or pizza
Cream
Milk, unless in coffee
SPROUTS
Not a lover of fish either, but enjoy smoked haddock and battered cod

Bananas. Can't be in the same room as someone eating one, makes me feel physically ill. It started as a child, I was forced to eat one, the texture and smell wasn't nice, going black with those stringy bits. My brother picked up that I don't like them, you know what kids are like. Even typing this, I can feel my gag reflex kicking in as if I'm going to vomit, definitely have a food aversion.

Beetroot. Can't stand it. I really don't see what everyone raves about.

 

[Blue160]

Beetroot is great

Only thing I really can't stand is celery. Seems a fairly common dislike.

 

[apatia77]

Mainly just butter, I can't have bread+butter, sandwitch+butter etc, but I don't mind it in cakes or cooking.

I don't get the general dislike for celery. I can take it or leave it because it doesn't really have a taste...it's probably the most inoffensive food I know.
For me, it's sprouts. Ugh. Like the worst bits of cabbage compressed into an evil little ball. And don't tell me it's because I'm having them overcooked - I've tried many a different sprout.

 

[Barry Smalley]

not much I dont like tbh.

Love sprouts and celery.

Celery soup is one of my faves and sprouts...... well try this recipe:

Honey.

Tea, any kind.

Pears.

Corriander, tastes of nasty nasty soap / poison, even one leaf in a dish will ruin it.

 

[POB]

I know plenty of people that dislike coriander, but I am the complete opposite. It is by far my favourite herb to cook with and probably one of my favourite flavours. If I buy some in the supermarket I tend to start eating the leaves as I walk round.

I remember someone on this forum commenting before that apparently the dislike of coriander is genetic and some people can detect the nasty taste and some can't.

Sea food generally, raw tomatoes, mushrooms, most offal.

Would really like to get into sea food but I just can't for some reason. Some of it looks so good but doesn't deliver on texture or taste.

No direct evidence for that. More likely just brain pattern and associating it with other smells.

Baked beans, but I have seen myself eat them when I've been starving and there the only thing there. They smell makes me feel sick mind

 

[ndmrpwr]

Haven't seen anyone mention Teriyaki. I can't think of anything so vile. All else properly prepaired is wonderful!

 

[Mark3h]

Not a fan of black pudding. Adds nothing to a fry up.

 

[CliffyBiro]

I'm a very fussy eater. There's only a few things I'll eat and be totally happy about.

 

[Efour]

Smoked Salmon - texture and smell and flavour instant retching.
Taramasalata - any fish based smooth whippy paste.
Shellfish - Slimey ones - had some nice scallops but cockels winkles?? no
Ive never really had a well cooked fish dish,
