Hominy in any form – grits, posole, whatever. The smell is disgusting, the texture revolting, but the taste is worse.
I like cilantro, oysters, eggs, liver, brussel sprouts and raw tomatoes. Merely contemplating that perverted, nasty bloated corn product stuff makes me queasy.
Yes! When I worked in a nice restaurant as a teenager we were instructed to pull the spine out before putting the lettuce on a sandwich. I’m constantly annoyed at restaurants that don’t do this. Ditto “tomato anuses” - those are not edible yet every restaurant and fast food owner apparently got together and decided to start serving them.
Quit writing what my brain is thinking!!!
I think I have said the above quoted text word for word on numerous occasions.
Reverse that and you get me. I couldn’t choke down a dill pickle if you paid me, but I could eat a whole jar of sweet pickles in one sitting.
For me the grossest food is a pretty broad one, though already mentioned: MEAT.
After 20 years as a vegetarian, the idea of eating a chunk of some animal’s decomposing corpse is just so utterly disgusting that it boggles my mind that anyone can manage it.
As someone who has worked in a [the world’s largest] sardine factory for over seven years, I gotta tell you guys who hate them…
Good call. You really, really don’t want to know more than you already know about those things. Just… keep not eating them. That’s good advice I know you will stick to.
Needless to say, I don’t eat sardines. Bleargh!
Now see, I adore tomatos, peas, cheesecake, yogurt, and bananas. So pass them my way!
Ooooh, I HATE the fatty parts of meat. It looks and feels like eating a blister. Ew.
Can’t stand mayonaise. Yuck.
Halupkis, aka “hunky hand grenades”. Halupkis are stuffed cabbage rolls. It’s slimy, cooked cabbage stuffed with saurkraut and ground meat in some kind of sauce. Oh god, they’re so freaking NASTY. My mother made me eat one ONCE. That was enough.
I used to hate saurkraut, and I really am not crazy about it-BUT…I make an exception for kapustnica, this traditional Slovak Christmas soup my mother makes every year. It’s saurkraut, mushrooms, and those little square egg noodles. It’s very good-I just don’t take a lot of kraut when I ladle it into my bowl. Other than that, though, I won’t touch the stuff.
Canned veggies-especially canned corn. Eeeeew, it’s all sweet and mushy. I prefer my veggies frozen. I might eat canned green beans, but that’s it. Why anyone would prefer canned veggies to frozen, which at least are fresher, and not drowned in salt and syrup, is beyond me.
I never realized there were so many other cilantro-haters out there. To me, it tastes like dirt. Not just your garden variety dirt but some kind of *really *dirty dirt. Maybe like what you’d get out of your vacuum cleaner, for all I know. If it’s just a little bit steeped in salsa long enough, that’s OK. But in other foods…Ick!
And the weird thing is, it’s getting more popular. Taco Bell positively smothers their food in it now.
I’m a vegetarian, but even if I weren’t, I cannot eat shellfish. It tastes like something that has gone very bad.
You people are weird. Sure, there are some foods I don’t care for, but nausea? Well, YMMV.
And cilantro is yummy. 
Celery-how can anyone eat celery raw? I always end up choking on the little strings-it doesn’t bite off all the way-you always get those little threads, and they get caught in your teeth. Yeck.
No cumin, no cilantro. I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that the local Tex-Mex joints don’t exactly have you on their Christmas card lists. 
OneCentStamp gets the hurks over:
runny eggs
organ meats (especially beef liver)
tequila
guava
Wow, I never knew there were so many people out there who hate bananas! I like banana flavor, but the texture makes me gag.
I am a tennis player and for some weird reason people who play tennis think bananas are the be all and end all of match food. I’ve had doubles partners get pissed off because I wouldn’t eat a banana before a match, or in between matches if we were playing an all day tourney. There is no convincing them that if I attempt to eat the banana we are going to lose anyway because I will be back by the fence trying not to heave.
Red meat also makes me gag. Again, a textural thing. I can eat chicken or fish, no problem, but take a bite out of a steak… <shudder and retch>
Mushrooms of any type are foul and disgusting and people who eat them are insane.
Interesting - there’s a lot of foods I am not wild about - mayo, green peppers, canned green peas, but nothing has ever made me sick until a couple of months ago. I tried canned sardines for the first time. I ate a few bites with crackers and thought “hey, this isn’t so bad” and then I bit into a spine. It was gross, so I put it aside and tried to continue, I stacked up 3-4 little spines and just looking at them - I started to retch, felt my stomach actually heave and had to run to the trash can to spit out what was in my mouth/dry heave. It is the only food in my life that has ever affected me like that! The taste was actually not so bad, it was a combination of texture and obvious vertabrae.
I agree with you but oddly enough I love food that has been cooked with mushrooms (well, as long as the food was tasty to begin with!) It adds a nice flavor to it. But I have to pick the mushrooms out before I eat it: I can’t stand the slimey feel and chloriney taste.
I’ve got to be one of the pickiest eaters. I solved it by going vegetarian, so that I could be a picky eater and morally superior at the same time. Here’s just some of my puke-inducing food list:
All fish - with a special mention for sardines, anchovies, herring and tinned tuna.
All meat - a special mention for liver and anything stewed or boiled.
Cottage cheese.
Strong cheese like stilton or roquefort.
Goats cheese!
Several people in my family dislike bananas - I’m not one of them.
Cilantro is an acquired taste. I remember disliking it as a child, but now I love it. Other things I wouldn’t touch included mayonnaise, olives and cheese - which I love now (with some exceptions in the case of cheese, see above).
Bananas, lima beans, peas, ketchup.
Butterscotch and Yogurt .Bananas are good . My wife eats ducks blood soup. No thanks.Pickled pigs feet. Yuck.A gelatinous glob.
Must add Stout. Can not compare it to any taste dead or alive.
Stout, as in the dark ale? Take it back! :mad:
