This afternoon for lunch my mother asked me to bring her up a plate of potato salad. Potato salad has always been a food I consider to be, to say the least, pretty foul. While scooping a couple of forkfuls onto a plate, what with the smell, and the chunky consistency, I was forced to look away and felt horribly nauseous.
I also feel sick at the sight of large quantities of mayonnaise, mustard, pasta salad, and some corn-related products. With all of these, most of the problem is the smell. shudder Oh yeah, baked beans bother me something fierce, too.
Ham Sandwiches. When I was younger my cheap parents had the brilliant idea of buying a LOT of luchmeat making whole sandwhiches and freezing them for later. Well, these things got freezer burn and when nuked were positively putrid. Its years later and even now the thought of them makes me sick.
I’ll second Orange Skinner on mayonnaise. I’ve always hated the taste of it. Oddly enough I can eat it if it is mixed in with tuna, and I also like some products which have a similar consistency to mayonnaise, such as ranch sauce/dressing.
I don’t like bananas. It isn’t so much the taste, but the mushy texture makes me want to hurl whenever I feel it in my mouth.
I hate olives, too. They have a really odd taste that I have never been able to stomach.
I’ll third the runny eggs. Mine have to be hard or scrambled to be palatable.
Baby cereal (have had to babysit my best friend’s baby many times.)
Salmon – can thank my mom for that, a bad salmon loaf made for a violently ill techchick at age nine. Never again.
Cooked mushrooms, I can eat them raw but can’t stand the texture of cooked mushrooms. < shudder >
Poorly raised raw chicken. Those yellowish and lumpy fat deposits make me wanna hurl. I like cooked chicken but rarely have it around my house because of that nasty looking fat. Chicken shouldn’t have that fat, they should be lean!
It is one of the only foods I absolutely detest. I adore paté, liverwurst, braunschweiger and leverpostej.
Liver = Fried mud!
I can barely think of any other foods that I can’t choke down if I have to.
The only other thing that even comes close are the large Pacific oysters. I tried (for the second time) a cooked one the other night and it was still a pasty, gooey garlicked lunger on the half shell. I love to little bits all raw oysters of any smaller size.
I haven’t tried brains or prarie oysters yet, so there may be some other items with my name on them out there somewhere.
I remember last Christmas Eve, my dad had a brilliant idea to make Clam/fish chowder. Well I guess they forgot to put it into the fridge before bed, and in the morning the whole house smelled like the sour milk/cream with the added smell of fish and clams. ABSOULTELY DISGUSTING.
Also, my dad puts hot peppers in the microwave to dry them out to make hot flakes. HORRIBLE.
Besides those, onions, runny eggs…add those to my list too.
Welcome, Ally424. I hate, loathe, and despise fish, unless it’s cod, and deep-fried. That includes all other seafood, too, so clams, shrimp, oysters, sea cucumbers… they’re all revolting.
Liver, beets, runny eggs, and miracle whip comes to mind right now.
I also detest butterscotch, but that comes from when I was a kid, and my cousin forced me to eat it, even though I was sick. I can’t bring myself to taste it to this day without having memories of barfing all night.
The only thing that makes me retch is mint. Yep, mint.
I’m fine if I see it, see someone eating it, or even smell it. Brushing my teeth with Aim every day is fine.
But if I put something in my mouth with the intention of ingestion, it had better not have mint. A few years ago I mistakenly started eating one of those chocolate mint girl scout cookies. That was close.
I hate cooked onions when they hide in other foods. For some reason, my brain interprets that sudden little crunch as “Ohmigawd, cockraoch!!” I don’t know why, because I have never accidently eaten a roach, but it still happens.
Also, salad. I hate the consistancy of lettuce and the like. Bleagh.
