no – that’s Marshmallows and Ketchup.
Consistently hated?
Beans. Any kind of beans except for frozen green beans. (Fresh ONLY if I make them my way.)
Most fruit. All fruit but grapefruit, pineapple and MAYBE lemons. Oranges if they’ve been supremed.
Most vegetables. It’s easier to say the ones I will eat - corn, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, frozen spinach if I make it. And the aforementioned green beans.
Most meat. I eat beef, pork, and if I MUST, chicken or turkey (whole - not the ground stuff. That’s just ick.) That’s it.
Most fish - I’ll eat shrimp, lobster (tail) if my husband makes it, and tilapia if I make it. That’s it fish wise. Oh - I’ll eat tuna (packed in water - not whole).
Olives - unless they’re green with a pimiento stuffed in them. I can’t stand other kinds (well, if they’re chopped really small and on something like a salad or a pizza I can do it - but not whole!!!)
I just wanted you to know that I literally gagged reading that. :eek:
Squash. Yellow squash or zuchini in particular.
I hate tempeh, absolutely, it makes me sick, ugh (turning green just thinking about it). I am also not very fond of seafood, but thats ok, as I am vegetarian.
My GF hates muchrooms, and not for the flavor, but because they squeek in her teeth. She had a steak once with a pureed mushroom sauce, loved it, she just wont eat the straight up mushrooms.
Fry
Bake Apples

Oh no you couldn’t be more wrong. Ketchup contains natural mellowing that promote emotional stability.
I hate tomatoes, and yes, I’ve had them straight from the garden still warm, ripe & fresh. I still think they’re gross - though the grocery store ones are worse.
It’s too bad, because when they’re all sliced up nice & red & ripe, they look like they should taste great. I still try them every summer, but so far they’re still on my “list”. I do like them cooked & in sauces, though.
I can’t think of any other foods that I’ve tried that I wouldn’t ever eat again. I’ve lost my taste for most “junk” food, but I still hate raw tomatoes more.
It took me a long time to like tomatoes - to the grief of my dad who was known for growing the biggest, tastiest tomatoes around (to people who actually liked the things). I never minded cut-up tomato pieces in salad, though, with dressing Still couldn’t eat them in sandwiches or anything. Finally, I went the fresh ground pepper route - amazing! Suddenly tomatoes became edible. Now, I still dislike beefsteak tomatoes and any tomatoes that taste like them but ‘field’ tomatoes (I guess that’s what they call anything that’s not beefsteak) and some of the specialty tomatoes are yummy - with fresh ground pepper. Recently I bought some Amarosa tomatoes and they were heavenly - really sweet. Since I really enjoy ‘Greek’ salad (tomatoes, onions, and feta - I don’t need the olives and can’t eat cucumber), I’ve been motivated to find tomatoes that I can enjoy in my pseudo-Greek salads. So I’m here to say that even tomato haters can reform eventually.
I can’t believe all the hate for brussel sprouts,definately one of my favorite foods.
Only three things come to mind as far as hating goes:
1.Licorice
2.Okra-Tried it three times,threw up all three times. The last time I tried it I ended up in the ER.Don’t think I will try it again.
But…
I would eat a okra & licorice omelet before I would ever eat a piece of canteloupe.
The smell of it turns my stomach.My ex used to buy one after we had a heated argument just to piss me off more.
Spam-open a can and I am gone. The smell will make me airmail
Butterscotch
Liver
Octopus-like eating fish through a garden hose.
Pickles on Burgers. If you put enough ingredients on a burger ,you can skip the burger.
Pizza with everything-A pile of puke on a flat bread.
I do like anchovies though
Almost everybodies home rib sauce. The flavor of spare ribs is subtile,when you completely overpower them you may as well just chug the sauce bottle.
Bobby Flay tasted scrapple on his Food Network show–where he toured the USA, sampling local treats. Some people find him a bit rude. But he displayed extreme politeness in not spitting it out immediately. His face betrayed his distaste–but he had no wish to offend the nice lady who’d cooked it.
Scrapple isn’t popular here in Houston, so I can’t give an opinion. But we’ve got a big variety of cuisines down here. Happily, I’m not categorically against any foods. (Not that I’m ready to go on the road with Tony Bourdain.)
I was a picky kid. But once I discovered vegetables (& even liver) that had not been cooked into leather, my tastes broadened. Deep fried okra convinced me the pods had their uses. Beets were the last to go–once I got a taste of borscht. I disliked potato salad & tuna salad–but then I realized it was the hunks of boiled egg. Eggless potato or tuna salad are great–or even egg salad alone.
After a bad experience in LA’s Little Tokyo, I’ve preferred my squid cooked. I’m not sure it was the squid. But When Sushi Goes Bad, you’re marked for life. However, bring on the calamari!
Fish.
Pig blood w/chives.
Fish.
Fish.
Oh, and Fish.
Chick peas
Lima beans
All fish except shellfish
Capers
Liver
Oh, yeah :
**Licorice
Coconut
Jelly Beans
Jellt bears and other creatures
Berries or anything made from them (maybe because when I was little my sister had so much Strawberry Shortcake crap?)
Licorice. Specifically, the candy (though the botanical is similarly offensive) --its somehow “off” sweetness, weirdly lingering aftertaste, and underlying hint of something rather like artificially sweetened burnt rubber, bring to mind some volatile toxic chemical. There’s also something rubbery about its texture. And it’s sticky, so little pieces of it remain clinging to one’s back teeth and polluting one’s tastebuds for entirely too long
Grapefruit. The taste combines bitter and bland, either of which is quite bad enough.
Oatcakes – mainly found in health food stores and self-righteously organic co-op groceries, they are horrible things like hockey pucks made of compressed shavings, too dense and too hard and with a flavor reminiscent of paper pulp and white glue. The sort of thing people will themselves to eat because it’s supposed to be wholesome and ennobling, but only extreme food-masochists or diet-fad prosthelityzers would ever claim to be palatable.
Lettuce. The vilest and most useless of vegetables; a crunch of cellulose and a spray of water faintly tasting of chlorophyll. As a whole leaf, it can at least be removed from whatever food its presence affronts; shredded, it renders sandwiches and tacos totally inedible. Lettuce was the inspiration for Easter-basket grass.
Brussels sprouts. Cabbage, while not what I’d ever call delicious, is sometimes tolerable – its stunted mutant sibling is just disgusting. Dense balls of limp and vile-tasting little leaves without a redeeming quality, they are damned --beyond the power of any recipe to make taste good.
Does wheat grass juice actually count as food to anyone besides the silliest sort of new age sillies? Because it looks and tastes just like liquefied lawn clippings. I can’t believe anyone really thinks that stuff tastes good, or believes it’s so “good for you” that it’s worth it to choke down a glassful.
Tempeh: Rotten. Soybean. Pulp. Three words which are entirely sufficient to describe, and justify universal hatred of, this staple of the North American communard’s diet
“move over, little insect”
the devil of deluxness
Even when I ate meat, I could not stomach shellfish. It tastes like something gone bad. And raw clams and oysters…to repeat: I don’t eat any food that comes with its own snot.
Bananas: Even when they’re unripe they still have a smell and texture that says to me rotten
That’s asa foetida – yes, foetida, as in fetid. The German word is Teufelsdreck – “devil’s shit.” That is some SERIOUSLY stinky stuff.
