Thanks for the welcome! I don’t know about YoYo. aparently 10% of chinese people have the last name Mah. I would like to add cooked celery and Hellmans mayo. Miracle Whip is just fine but not mayo. Blue cheese is also the most vile dairy product ever. It tastes like feet. Also melted it turns into a liquid. Bleach! Liquid feet! ---

The only things I can think of that I absolutely hate are: deviled eggs, egg nog, and pretty much any kind of animal that lives in the water that I can’t get battered and deep fried from Long John Silver’s. ---

The only food the truly makes me gag as soon as a mere morsal is placed in the vicinity of my taste buds is Brusell Sprouts… they are the devils vegetable. Im with Zoe on the Mayo being cool… althought most commercial mayoniases (in australia anyway)taste like shit and stop me from buying anyhting with mayo on it frmo a shop. Home made mayonaise is the way to go, or if you must the more dutch egg mayonaises are ok. Also cooked liver is crap and i cant stand raw tomatos… ---

The only foods that I know of that will make me physically ill are those prepared at mcdonalds, otherwise there is no food that I know of that my garbage truck like digestion can’t handle. There are however a number of foods I don’t like (and quite a few I havn’t tried yet) but the only thing I won’t refuse to eat in any way, shape or form is avacado. Yech. I hate everything about it. Otherwise I’ll at least try anything you put in front of me, even foods I don’t like, if it’s prepared in a way I havn’t tried before. ---

Marmite. Ye gads is that stuff horrible. I could taste it for 3 days afterward - and I even tried scraping my tongue. Damn my British neighbor for making me try it. ---

I love all the different types of viscera. I’ll take Rocky Mountain oysters or tripe over lima beans anyday. Thoserepulsive green balls of mush absolutely will not go down my throat. ---

I loathe the sight and smell of cooked bell peppers. I can’t even be in the house (my own or anyone else’s) if they’re cooking with them. A picture of a stuffed bell pepper makes my gorge rise. Bean sprouts make me nearly as nauseated. They look like worms in rigor mortis. I can’t even stand for them to be on my plate! If I smell cabbage cooking, that’s all she wrote, folks. I’d rather inhale the fumes of a rotting mass grave. It’s damn near the same thing. ---

Bananas make me gag. No, not that way! It’s the smell that does it. And the thought of their weird consistency. Ever since I was a little kid. No idea why. ---

Liver, bananas, and olives. An unholy triumverate if ever there was one. ---

Liver, mushrooms (they’re a FUNGUS for crying out loud), pears, mince, prawns and greasy gristle-ridden sausages. -James ---

Water chesnuts. :shiver: Hot beer Beets (cooked) I hadn’t thought of Peeps until someone else mentioned it. Any Easter candy (Cadbury eggs? ugh) ---

Mango is the most disgusting food in the world. Closely followed by celery. Runners-up: Cranberries Peaches ---

Tomato soup. My father forced me to eat it when I couldn’t eat anything because of an infected surgery in my mouth. Boy let me tell you. Vomiting when you can barely open your mouth without screaming in pain is torture. I can’t even smell tomato soup, or even spaghetti-o’s-type food without feeling nauseaous. ---

Shellfish. Any and all shellfish. It tastes and smells like something that went bad. I cannot stand to be around it. ---

Bacon. Especially the slimey, rubbery fat. Ugh I’m getting queasy just thinking about it. Also, the lingering smell of bacon in the house makes me want to ralph. I told this to a group of people at work and they all gawped at me. Finally one said, “I love that smell!” :smack: But then again, I have the same reaction to most meat! Liver? \ Being vegetarian, I do eat beans a lot (fffffava!!). But I won’t eat baked beans. Sugar with beans? Ick. Then, there’s sometimes … bacon … in them. \ I think I need to go brush my teeth! 🙂 ---

I can eat just about anything but the one thing I tried once that qualifies for this thread is powdered eggs. Look bad, smell bad, tastes bad and a very gaggy consistency. Urp! ---

Spam Alert: Luncheon Meat is the work of Beelzebub. Seconds on the snotty undercooked eggs. Whelks: like chewing on a tyre Gloopy MSG-sauced dishes in sub-standard Chinese takeaways. Marmite: used to work for a brewer, and the day the Marmite juggernaut came to take away the spent yeast was the foulest day of the week. The smell! Meat with bones still in. I have a funny thing about bones on teeth. Everyone else loves nibbling away at ribs, drumsticks, whatever. As soon as a piece of bone touches my tooth - it’s all over. Like having an electric shock. The more scavenger-like of my bone-sucker friends are wise to this now and hover round my plate, knowing I’ll only have nibbled at a nugget of the possible meat available. ---

Eggs. I will die of starvation before I eat an egg. Quiches, creme brules, anything eggy…nope, no how no way. Macaroni and cheese. Funny, because I love pasta and I love cheese, but I have a strong childhood memory of vomiting at the dinner table while eating mac and cheese and staring at the big cheese vomit bubble that was on my plate. So, sorry, no. Pass the ripe tomatoes though, and I’ll take that mango and cantaloupe off your plate. ---

Great thread, and an easy answer. Hard boil an egg and peel it. And just hope I’m not facing in your direction when I start to hurl chunks. The smell _alone_ is enough to force me to leave the room. As for actually eating it… oh _for sure_. I’d sooner do a barefoot tap dance on broken glass, thank you very much.
