Are There Any Foods That You Won’t Eat?

Are there foods you just won’t eat, for whatever reason(s) you may have. I mean fresh food, of course, not food that’s exceeded its shelf life. And you may have personal ethical, dietary or religious imperatives that keep things off your menu. Mine are:

Lobster, because it looks too much like a cockroach.

Liverwurst, because of the taste and texture. I do, however, enjoy liver pate and all other pates. Go figure.

No insect or worm, no matter how gussied-up its culinary presentation.

Brazilian Pizza, no reason need be given. Just take a look at one. You’ll know.

How about you?

Brussels sprouts!

[–] tcrum (29907) 5 years ago

No! bake them in 450 oven with salt and olive oil. Yum

[–] Stratego (29320) 5 years ago

Nope, doesn't work.

[–] tcrum (29907) 5 years ago

It works with broccoli too. turns it into healthy crispy yum.

[–] Stratego (29320) 5 years ago

Broccoli is good.

How about broccoli rabe? Delicious!

[–] Stratego (29320) 5 years ago

Mmm, yes. I love to eat it together with mashed potatoes, cubes of blue cheese, bacon bits and mushrooms!😋

Fry everything in bacon fat. I don't hate brussel sprouts anymore.

Beans. I’m a nonbean eater. :)

Scalloped Potatoes. My mom made them from a box, and now the smell makes me ill.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Made from scratch is very nice.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20536) 5 years ago

I do love the boxed ones. I keep a cabinet full of them!

[–] tcrum (29907) 5 years ago

I think I have post traumatic stress disorder on the box ones. seriously the smell I will vomit.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20536) 5 years ago

Lol. That’s pretty rough.

[–] tcrum (29907) 5 years ago

Lobster really. Do you eat shrimp, they look like small lobsters.

[–] chilidoggg (13170) 5 years ago

Who Dat sayin shrimps is mini lobsters?
Who Dat?
Who Dat?

There is a folktale about the British expelling the Acadians from the North, and the lobsters make the long journey with them and were so exhausted they became small and... not shrimp...

Coriander/Cilantro it fouls anything it touches. Even if you remove it from a sandwich it still leaves a foul taste behind.
No weird fake meat, vegan alternative stuff.
No insects or other bugs.
Not big on fusion foods.

[–] nyctc7 (41453) 5 years ago

I despise cilantro.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I've read it is a love it or hate it thing. I hate it. Weird taste.

[–] csweetleaf2 (3539) 5 years ago

oatmeal, onions, milk, pork beans

[–] nyctc7 (41453) 5 years ago

While I like lobster, for some reason crab creeps me out.

Mushrooms - never cottoned to them. Something about the texture

Eggplant - Don't know why I am averse. The name doesn't help.

Sushi - The idea of raw fish

Salmon Fish and Chips - Whoever invented this needs to go to jail.

Raw Shellfish

Raw Meat (Tartare)

Pate

Tofu

Very Smelly Cheeses

Liver, really internal organs of any kind.

Kale

Octopus/Squid

Insects - goes without saying

Virtually everything that's considered a great delicacy in a foreign country - Escargot, etc.

Fake crab or Krab tastes really weird. It looks sort of inviting with it's bright red appearance against the white meat, but it tastes very artificial. Almost sweet and tangy but in a bad way.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

i would have no problem eating insects, as long as they were prepared in a proper way.

the only foods i honestly can't stomach are cauliflower & brussel sprouts. both of them can actually make me gag.
