Mustard. Can’t stand the stuff. Blech, barf, yuck! If I was Superman, mustard would be kryptonite.
Boiled eggs. The sulphur smell combined with the oogey, slimy texture on the outside and the weird creamy texture of the yolk has always made me gag a little.
Buttermilk. It smells like feet. I’ve never actually tasted it because of the smell.
But those are the only things I don’t like due to smell or taste. All my other aversions are strictly related to texture. Pate, ricotta, chopped liver and a few others - the textures always trigger my gag reflex.
Durian. The worst thing (that’s actually food) that I’ve ever tasted.
The belgian brewery Chimay also makes a cheese with a powerfully awful smell. I was at a party and it hit me from across the room. It smelled like naughty bits that went unwashed for years.
Since I love organ meats, I always wanted to try kidneys. I once found some beautiful little lamb kidneys, and I sauteed up a panful of them. They looked very appealing, but they smelled just like piss (naturally enough). I was revolted and decided to feed them to the dogs instead. I chopped them up and was parceling them out, but they still looked so appetizing, I tried a little nibble. They tasted really good! However, I still can’t get past that smell so I don’t buy them.
Funny, I love every food listed in this thread.
He means tacos.

Sounds like you’ve tried them undercooked. If they’re “creamy” or “slimy”, I wouldn’t eat them either. The sulfur is luck of the draw; some eggs are much more sulfury than others, I don’t know why.
I dispise the deliberately soured stuff sold as buttermilk in stores; but oddly enough, I think the fresh liquid left over when I’ve made butter from cream is deliciousness itself. I’ve often wished you could buy it.
The first time I ever made powdered milk, I took one sniff and threw it away. Eventually I discovered that it always smells that way, but thankfully tastes ok.
I adore the smell of ground coffee, but I’ve never drunk coffee in my life, and have no desire to. Might be due to the time when I was four, and the babysitter accidently gave me coffee instead of chocolate milk.
All canned vegetables are bad, bad, bad. I was pleasently surprised to discover that frozen vegetables are humanly edible.
If you spring for the pricey “albacore” variety of tuna, it’s got a much milder odor and flavor than regular canned tuna. But if you simply don’t like tuna at all that’s not going to help.
The one thing I most consistantly hate is anything, such as mayonaise, that’s egg mixed with vinegar. Egg-with-vinegar makes me nauseous.
Peppers. Green, Red, Yellow, doesn’t matter. All bell peppers make me sick. The taste and the smell make me want to puke. Onions have a similar effect. I can eat red onions, i even like onion rings, but the white (Spanish?) onions make me vomit. Ironically, if you combine peppers, onions, and tomatoes (which I’m not fond of but can eat) into salsa, I like it. Weird, huh?
I hate canteloupe!
More than anything on earth(except for the comic strip FBOFW).
My XGF would bring some home if we had a fight.
How do you know what stinky feet taste like? :dubious:
Coffee smells good, but tastes bad to me unless you fill it with enough sugar and crap that it hardly tastes like itself, so I don’t bother. I also hate the taste of alcohol, so I generally avoid it except for the odd superpansy cocktail. Anything that tastes or smells like organs makes my gut wrench. I also hate the smell of Ranch and Bleu Cheese, so even though they taste okay I avoid them too.
Raw shrimp or salmon. Yuck! I’m really not into seafood unless it’s deep fried.
cooked cabbage. One of the worst cooking smells there is. There are many things I won’t eat, but that one is at the top of the list.
Risotto?
I’m infamous for my loathing for all forms of chicken. The meat tastes disgusting to me, though the skin can be tastey when properly seasoned. I kind of dislike duck as well, for a similar but not as foul (pun intended) flavor. Plus, sort of slimy.
(I always get questioned about why I like turkey, and I don’t understand why they ask. The two taste nothing alike.)
(Also, I do mean every form. Including your grandmother’s special recipe or with that fantastic barbeque sauce you found.)
I also don’t care much for the taste of peppers or rice, though neither are strongly enough flavored for me to avoid in otherwise heavily spiced dishes. Cooked peppers I avoid for texture reasons.
Most of my other avoids are for texture reasons, especially slimy or dense-squishy foods like mushrooms or cooked squash.
Yes, durian. Evil fruit.
Lobster. Gah I hate the smell of that stuff something fierce. And apparently it was cheap when I was a kid because we had it a lot. The clicking noise they make is also insanely creepy in an otherwise quiet house.
capers
olives (black and green)
