Try removing chopped cilantro from a sandwich. It sticks on EVERYTHING.
Fresh roasted chestnuts. They sound so good in the song. I never had them growing up and was excited to get them the first time at someone else’s house on Thanksgiving. Gross! They are semi-sweet little puke balls of mushy on the inside and not good at all.
Yogurt-everybody raves about how great it is and how you can substitute it for sour cream in recipes but I can still taste it.
Neufchatel cheese-it’s NOT cream cheese, and it tastes nothing like it and I don’t want you substituting it on my bagel or advertising it as "low-fat cream cheese (Mom-this means YOU!).
I wish I liked fruit more. I can eat most fruit cut up in a fruit salad, and I like all citrus, apples and pears, but I wish I loved fruit like some people do. Especially mango. People talk about mango like it’s the food of the gods but it’s slimy and disgusting. I don’t see how anybody can willingly drink mango lassi.
Then there are those that might make social situations easier like alcohol (especially beer) or coffee, but I can do without them.
Finally, there are those that I don’t like and will never miss, like bacon, sausage, and steak.
(Luckily, I like most seafood and I love mushrooms. I’ll be the one with the veggie pizza with anchovies and the rest of you can have the sausage and pepperoni-yuck!)
Yes! Plus, I’m currently surrounded by people who believe that it’s fine to have one cup of black coffee after another, but that anybody drinking Cocacola before noon is nuts. I won’t claim to be sane, but jeez, have your caffeine in the way you like and let me take mine in the way I like. I’ve been having social problems over not liking coffee since I was old enough to go across the street to a friend’s house by myself
I actually like Neufchatel better than regular cream cheese. It’s got a little bit of a tang to it. Regular cream cheese is kind of boring.
Anything with chocolate in it. I love chocolate (well, I love good chocolate - Belgian, Swiss, German chocolate - not Hershey’s tree bark or how you call it), but put it in cookies, cakes, ice, and I can’t stand it.
Best wishes,
Dirk
Another vote for seafood. To me, seafood tastes just like other food that has been left out in the sun too long.
My friends try to get me to understand how heavenly the Sushi experience is, but you could kill me by sealing me up inside a fully-stocked Sushi restaraunt. Unseal the doors 30 days later and my emaciated corpse would tumble across the doorstep.
You’d find me in an igloo of Cardboard boxes with a plastiuc lining sucking on a halibut scicle cozying around a blubber lamp.
I can’t believe I’m the first to say this:
Egg Nog
Every Christmas as a kid, my Dad would buy a carton(or make some) Egg Nog. Non-alcohol, of course. Every year, it looked so good, I’d try it…only to be disappointed again.
To be fair, I had alcoholic Nog once and the tingle of the alcohol improved it slightly.
Still not a fan, though. Wish I was.
Have you tried Chipwich brand Egg Nog? I dislike every other Egg Nog I tried but can’t get enough of this.
Cilantro… yuck. Apparently there is actually a medical (scientific) reason for the dislike. Also I can’t stand wine. and never mind you must try this brand or that brand. They all taste horrible. I can’t even stand it cooked in things. I managed not to show disgust at one Jewish concord wine but it was still hard.
Also can’t handle carbination. I have to let (or shake) pops go flat before I can drink. Looked it up on science web once and thank heavens I am not alone. Carbonation HURTS!! and opens up all the bitter taste buds for me. Always fun blowing bubbles in your pop in resturants. lol
That’s because those of us who don’t like nog dislike it for very legitimate reasons. Ew.
Beer. It’s just so available and, now, has so many flavor options.
I’m suspecting that what I don’t like is the hops, and need to try Egyptian beer before completely writing it off, but yeah. There are days I truly wish I could pop open a beer and have a nice cold swig; I have been brainwashed. I’ve even been known to say ‘omg I want a beer’ when what I really want is a light, fizzy alcoholic drink that doesn’t taste like cool-aid.
My answer to this is always wine.
People seem to really enjoy wine, and its place in socialization is really important in Western society. It’s something that is fun to share with people, talk about, enjoy with friends.
And I cannot drink it. It’s fucking poison. I have tried, many times, and many kinds of wine, and every single wine I have ever tried, no matter when or how or for how long I tried it, tasted like windshield wiper fluid.
Given the way durians do smell (for those who’ve never smelled one, think “rotten garbage”), I wonder if you just got a bad one. The one time I tried it the taste was like ice cream with a very fibrous texture. Hard to separate the smell from the taste, though.
For me the food I wish I liked is cabbage. I can stomach kimchi, cole slaw, and the stuff that comes with corned beef but I don’t enjoy eating them.
Oysters, I tried to like them in stew, roasted, rockefellered, fried. It’s not happening though.
Liver, I don’t even like people who like liver.
Caviar, this is another food I’ve tried to like, I love the mouth feel but not the taste.
Onions and garlic, hate them both.
Milk urg Drinking a glass of whole milk tastes like cold grease.
I use to hate sour cream, when I was a kid the name of it offended me. I mean who wants to eat a sour dairy product? When I got older I kept trying it and one day it took. Now, to me, it’s a taste treat.
Theres a lot of food I won’t eat, I’m not eating guts, brains, feet, tongues or eyeballs.
Okra, no and swiss cheese too.
I wish I liked steak. And bacon.
I hate steak. Never liked the texture, the chewy, muscley feeling of a well-done steak or the mush, bloody feeling of a more rare steak. Never liked them. And I’ve always hated bacon. My husband give me crap for not liking bacon, but I just can’t get myself to eat it.
Really have to wonder how you know what sweetened anus tastes like.
And you know what satan’s anus tastes like, how???
Hate the taste of caraway seed. I like rye bread except it is almost impossible to get without caraway seed. I have had it so I know it exists.
