Normal Foods You Loathe

Close enough. We had them pan-fried.

I’m funny about eggs. Cooked certain ways, they are absolutely delicious. Other ways, they taste like something that came out of a chicken’s ass.

Egg cutlets taste like the came out of Satan’s ass.

What’s funny is that when I was growing up, I was thin as a rail. When I got out on my own, I got very large. I think the reason is that I evicted all midwestern cooking from my diet.

Alcohol - I have something like half a glass of beer per year, and then it’s something like “I’m in Prague, I’ll have a try of the local alcoholic stuff.”

Cheese made from cow’s milk.

I’m not fond of potatoes at all. Guess the main ingredient in my home town’s “local specialty” :stuck_out_tongue:

Green peppers. I like hot peppers, but green ones will ruin any meal they are in.

Egg cutlets however, sound interesting. I have never had them.

You’re welcome to mine.

Baked potatoes and green beans trigger my gag reflex.

I’m picky, so there are a ton, but the two that leapt to mind were sushi & pad thai.
I cannot stand sushi rice, it’s inedible. It does not end up tasting better when added to other ingredients I don’t really like either.

Pad thai is just utterly unpleasant food. Texture, taste, smell, not good. While it may have nutritional value, it has no aesthetic benefits.

Mushrooms, raw onions, raisins, eggplant, and anything that comes out of the water - fish, crustaceans, shellfish, seaweed, anything tentacle-y … blech! Once every couple of years I’ll have two or three shrimp and be reminded why I hate them. Of course, my three-year-old’s two favorite foods in the world are mushrooms and shrimp. Those will never be cooked in my house. Luckily for him, he’s still really cheap to take to a Chinese buffet, so when we go, that’s pretty much all he eats.

Potato and pasta salads. Almost everybody I know loves the stuff and it’s a staple at cook outs but it is just revolting. All cold and slimy and chunky and it smells bad and glistens and makes gross slurping sounds when it’s moved and BLAAARRRRGHGH.

Sunspace, I’m with you on cheese, though I can eat cheese on pizza if I need to out of politeness - and I define politeness pretty narrowly. I figure if the company I’m keeping orders pizza, they should be mellow enough to tolerate a small squishy pile of cheese on the edge of my plate.

Blue cheese in particular is disgusting. It tastes like someone mixed vomit into a vat of paraffin and let it set. There are probably other cheeses that are more vile out there, but I haven’t tasted them.

I also find mayonnaise and sour cream offensive on a number of counts, including aesthetic. Both substances look like a quivering pile of obesity.

Cake! Box mix, with runny frosting, yuck, so fake tasting, so blah! I’ll take a bite to be polite, too, but I pitch it into the garbage ASAP. (A really GOOD cake, a pricey one from a bakery, is a different story, but I never seem to get offered a piece of really good cake, just the crappy mix,) I can’t believe there is ice cream - Perry’s? - ‘birthday cake flavor’. Yuck!

Along the same lines - those awful gooey blah frozen fruit pies you bake at home. They’re pretty cheap around holidays, taste like nothing in particular, and basically are globs of stuff to fill up undemanding 12 year olds later on, after the thanksgiving turkey

If you like bell peppers, maybe you, me, and Khadaji can work out a trade.

my birthday cake request was always boston cream pie … my mom made the best, she used ground almonds in the cake, and added almond flavor to the creme anglaise in the middle, and sprinkled chopped almonds on the chocolate glaze.

My brother always asked for a particular german chocolate cake with cooked fudge frosting, and even though i am a chocoholic, i could never manage to eat more than a couple bites of the cake part, though i snarfed down the fudge frosting.

Ill take your lifetime supply of these and trade you my lifetime supply of zucchini, eggplant, acorn squash and okra =)

Deal?

i dont understand why so many people use boxed cake mix, it is so easy to make a basic cake from the basic ingredients … I dont think i have used a box mix in about 30 years …

I absolutely cannot stand maple syrup. The smell alone will make me gag.

I also do not want;

breakfast sausage
lima beans
ranch dressing

My mom hates 'em, too. I have to constantly remind her to ask at restaurants if the dish containes bell peppers, because if it does, she won’t stop bitching about it. :smiley:

Seriously? You don’t like cake? That’s just not right.

I’m not a fan of most vegetables anyway, but I HATE tomatoes. Fine in sauce, and I like Campbell’s tomato soup, because it tastes like Spaghetti-Os. But just a tomato, raw or cooked, Eurghh. They’re all slimy, and that, that . . . taste. What is that? It tastes like I imagine a slug would.

Also, I love cheese almost as much as life itself, but any sort of moldy cheese is just unfathomable. How can you look at me with a straight face and expect me to eat something that smells like my grandma’s attic?

My great grandmother makes this horrible thing with cottage cheese, green jello and walnuts. I like all those things, but together it’s like vomit. I also will never eat anything with mayonnaise. I’m also pretty fussy about meat. If it’s got hunks of fat on it, I won’t eat it. And no organ meats. ETA: Frosting. How could I forget? I like cake, but if I can’t get all the frosting off, into the trash it goes.

I forgot to list jello salad. There is no greater crime against humanity that jello salad, in all of its hideous forms.

I’m reading this thread, and my mouth is watering at the mention of all my favorite foods. I would gladly share a meal with any one of you, and I promise to eat whatever you don’t want.

But there actually are foods I hate: haggis and Limburger cheese.
