What Food Can You Just Not Get Along With?

Creamed corn. I can't even stand to look at a can of it in the grocery store.
I love corn. But creamed corn....never in a million years.

I HATE Brussel's sprouts and broccoli! I also hate any type of cooked fruit. I do like broccoli sprouts, but try as I might, I hate the real deal. I've heard there's a study showing that some folk's taste buds are "different" and people with this issue hate both BS's & broccoli, so I guess that's me! I also despise rutabegas.

Must add though-I'm a total wino, and asparagus is my favorite veggie ;-)

I know this will probably shock the populis, but I can not stomach peanut better. I have tried especially when there was a peanut butter diet rage a few years back. I literally have a gag reflex. Liver, have also tried different ways, can't do it. Beer, any kind of powdered energy drink, cranberry sauce and oysters. Just reading this back and I'm getting queasy :)

Cooked oatmeal, It's a texture thing. I can eat it raw or if it is in cookies, but not just cooked as a breakfast cereal.

Anything with an Anise (black licorice) flavor.

I never used to like tomatoes, and one day decided I wanted to like them. I eat ketchup and tomato sauce, just not tomatoes. I can finally eat them in a sandwich, but not in a salad. I don't like its texture.

I hate mustard and I always will! Also don't like mushrooms.

Lima beans! I will eat any veggie but lima beans, my hubby LOVES them and will eat them by the bag. Also I hate beer and wine (but will take a whiskey sour any day). I do love jalepenos and use to put them on everything from salads to french fries, but my hubby can't take the heat so i dont really use them anymore

asparagus is just slimy! All three of the men in my family just love it, tho'! They especially love it grilled, either wrapped with bacon or not.

I also have trouble with any seafood....I'm allergic. I also tend to have a sore throat when I eat freshwater fish....which just doesn't go along with the fishermen in my family. & as of this winter, my younger son throws up everytime he has fish or seafood......looks like he's developing my allergy!

I don't do pickled herring or blackeyed peas for New Years. Yuck. The guys do.

I don't do most squash, but LOVE pumpkin & persimmon. Go figure! My sons love them, too.

My husband, on the other hand, hates pumpkin & persimmon.....& apricots, but will eat peaches/nectarines, & fried pumpkin/squash blossoms. Well, actually, he'll eat anything fried...including dill pickles....which are quite yummy.

I have trouble eating Bambi, but usually can eat squirrel/rabbit/game birds. The men love it all.

I hate processed cheeses....they're way too salty & the texture is weird. BUT, I love real cheeses....well, except for Limburger!

Fun ?.....thanks!

Shrimp. I just don't like the texture....it's not quite crunchy, but it's not soft either. yuck.

Eggplant. Though, I have tasted ONE eggplant parmesan that was truly amazing. Before and since, I just can't swallow the stuff. Yuk.

I gave Okra a fighting chance. I still despise the stuff.

One last food. Geoduck. Unfortunately/fortunately, it's also the creature that pays our bills (my husband dives for them). I can handle geoduck when it's first put through a meat grinder and used in chowder. Even then, it's dicey. Preparing them is...an experience. If you've never seen one, it's worth a peep:

Zucchini (sp?) I CAN'T STAND IT! Or squash! Pumpkin I can do fine with, but I have the worst gag reflux and if I even see or smell it I will start to heave. It could be because my mom forced me to eat it as a child. She cooks it the most horrible way! And when I attempted to start liking it, I just couldn't do it. I had to run to the bathroom! It was that bad!

Beef! I dont' like the flavor and it does not agree with my tummy. I have no desire to eat it ever again!
My husband is allergic to mushrooms and I LOVE them. It's too bad because I would make them a lot more in our dinners!

I hate pumpkin, squash, and sweet potato. omg, i cant get them down. its the texture I think.

I hate butter, corn...yucky and salt, I try to avoid them at all cost. But I love me some beer... : )

I HATE cheese. Yes I know it is unamerican but I don't care! The smell, the texture and the taste. Yuck! I can choke a piece of pizza down every once and awhile but that is about it. My dad does like it either but he does like cheese burgers. I look at cheese as a waste of milk! I do give it in my house. My kids love it especially my son. He is a mouse. I fix grilled cheese for them but I hate to touch it. I feel like my hands smell like cheese for a week. My husband loves ANY cheese. When I entertain I will always get a cheese ball. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I want others to not have it. So there ya go. I'm a freak! :)

I can't stand anything with food coloring in food. It tastes gross and I get weirded out when it dyes your tongue and teeth.Especially red, it gives me instant heartburn.

I like almost every fruit and vegetable and am not a picky eater but I will not eat pickles.

I think I'm one of the few, but any meats with even a little fat on them makes me want to gag, like steak or ribs. yick!!

Beer and Scotch. Just thinking about it makes my stomach turn over. Its not a bast past experience kinda thing, they just gross me out. Fact usually I can't handle the taste of alcohol, which means all my "Mommy" drink have to be sugary and fruity. I have been able to acquire a taste for wine, though it has to be specific grapes.

Sushi grosses me out because of the raw fish thing, plus I can't stand seafood at all. Luckily no one in our house likes it so I don't have to cook it.

No game-- no venison, buffalo, quail, rabbit, etc.

Mint. I can handle mint in a mojito, but not ice cream or candies.

I love food! all food! but I agree, wine, ugh, its sour, gross, and makes my mouth feel all shrivelled up. yuck!

ok, after reading the others, I have to say, I dont eat "sea bugs"- if it walks on the floor of the sea, no friggin way am I eating it! and squirrels? Um no, I would not eat any little animal, I have trouble enough eating meat (pork & chicken, didnt until a couple years ago) and while Ive seen recipes and even directions in a cookbook how to skin and prepare squirrels, possums & raccoons, uh no, their like pets to me, not meant for consumption.

Sushi and lamb...YUCK!!!!!

Lima beans. Liver.
Hated them both as a kid and I still do!

I hear you on the wine thing. I can handle a glass of really really cold white wine but honestly I dont know why I ever drink it because I really dont enjoy the stuff. Red wine, even the smell makes me want to yack lol.
As for food, I truly try so hard to like tomatoes and just cant stomach them. I can eat very small peices but only if its cooked and even then I would much prefer not to. I dont eat plain tomato soup, I hate salsa, and even ketchup makes me a bit queesy. I wish I could learn to like them though because they are so good for you but.....
I also cant stomach anything vinegary and or pickled or with mustard. And like Abbie H. stated anything black licorice flavoured. I also have tried for all of my life to like bananas and they will never be okay to eat by me. YUCK
I do however LOVE broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, peas, zucchini, asperagus, and apples

Lobster and crab. My husband LOVES it, but I don't. They both are so expensive that I really don't care to keep trying.

Oysters - I can barely watch hubby eat them without feeling the beginning of a gag reflex.

Coconut, pears, strawberries and raspberries. These are a texture aversion (except coconut). I can't get past the texture to even taste the fruit. I cannot stand biting into the seeds on strawberries and raspberries, it grosses me out!

i hate green beans, so terrible, and meat, any kind of meat repulses me, the idea that it was once a working muscle on a mammal, and me, a mammal as well cant fathom eating this ,. Most other things i have once hated and now love because my tastes changed.

Anything from the sea. I don't know why, but I have a serious aversion to it. It's slimy, it's "fishy"...bleh, I can't stand it. I know it's good for me so I continue to try, but I just can't get it down my throat.
Avocados...also fabulous for you...ewww....too slimy for me!
Maybe I have an issue with textures, I don't know. I have tried and tried and tried to eat seafood...it just wont happen.
L.

Lamb... The taste gags me. Of course, there are a lot of things I don't eat because of environmental reasons, ethical reasons, etc. (not because of taste or texture). But never have been able to enjoy lamb, no matter how fancy the restaurant.

And I've never acquired the taste for beer.

(I love asparagus! Olive oil, salt & garlic--yum! And butter and salt on beets fresh out of the garden; they're so different from store bought beets. Y'all got me hungry!!)

I have to agree with some of the other ladies about BEER! It is foul and I swear it's just urine in a bottle. Last night I was feeling brave and made my hubby a corona with a lime in it, and some of the beer splashed onto my hand when i shoved the lime through the top. I was gagging so hard and washed my hands about 10 times because I couldn't get that yeasty, nasty, smell off of my hand!! I love me some alcohol, but NOT beer!

Lots of things, i'm pretty picky.
The major one....lettuce. I gag as soon as it enters my mouth.
I also haven't found a wine I will drink.

Meatloaf- when I was a kid, my mom kept trying to get me to eat it but it made me gag. Weird because I like all the ingredients if they are cooked separately. I also hate ketchup, okra, and shrimp. I cook shrimp for my family, but I have crawfish instead. I'll taste shrimp and okra about once a year to see if I still don't like them.

Onions...I can find an onion in ANYTHING...my husbands biggest gripe ever is the day he met me he had to "give" them up! HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(BTW he still eats them and I buy them for him...once in a while!)

Do you mean you don't like wine from the United State? Do you mean that you just don't have a taste for wine?

tinned tuna
cooked tuna of any kind
(although I do love raw tuna)

japanese curry
(although I do love indian, w indies, & thai curries)

There are a few foods that I simply don't like, and I just don't eat those foods. I don't keep trying to like them. There are plenty of foods I do like.
Pears, kiwi fruit, licorice candy (although I love ouzo), and the large crystals of sugar that are used as toppings for certain pastries come immediately to mind as foods I simply refuse to eat because I just don't like them.

Gimme a high five, Shane B.! I'm with you on the creamed corn. Vile! That and polska kielbasa are my own personal ipecac. Whenever I am sick and sitting next to the toilet and I know that I'll feel better if I only throw up... These are the things I think about.

Blech.

I wanted to read all the posts to jar my brain to think about this one.
I like it all. I will eat anything that someone else will fix. I'll even eat
veggies, like asparagus, right out of the can. I don't eat much
sugar. It's not that I don't like it. I don't have a desire for it. But, there are things that I haven't tried, like snake. Again, no desire.

I'm with you on the wine. I've never found one that didn't make me shudder with (sometimes secret) distaste. Fortunately for me, the sulfites in wine give me asthmatic attacks, so I have a great excuse not to drink it even to toast someone.

I've also never met a beet, or a beet recipe, I could honestly say I liked. I have tried.

I am another one that hates seafood. My husband loves it. The smell makes me squirm....lol!

such a funny question. because i think everyone has there hang ups when it comes to food. My list is some what strange. No cherries, no pineapple, no coconut and no punch. BUT if the cherries are fresh every once in a blue moon i will eat about ten then no more for a few yrs. Coconut rum is my favorite and fresh coconut shavings on fruit cups is ok unless it is a few days old then no thank you. Pineapple and red punch are a never.

I find this amusing because after five yrs together I realized my husband is a food pusher. He will convence you to try something even if you know you dont like it. He will go on about how this one is different and its soooo good you just gotta try it. I would try it (usually it was coconut cake) and of course it was discusting and he would be shocked. So I finally told him I was a grown woman and know that I do not like certian things and dont have to taste it. Way rude but the polite was not working. Now Bee's Mom your a grown woman by now you should accept that your taste buds arent fans of certian foods :)

I eat almost everything if cooked well (not to oily or over cook, etc) but there are 2 things I can't stand just because I ate them a lot when young but I would eat them if I went to somebody house and that is what they have (califlower and suny side up eggs)
The only thing I couldn't eat no matter what is VEAL and Lobsters
I am not vegetarian but once I knew about this poor animals (their lives to keep them "soft") and I saw how they cook Lobsters, I couldn't eat them again.

Cannot look at without getting nauseas:

Canned peas and raw zucchini.

The smell of many vegetables cooking, like cauliflower, broccoli, lima beans, cabbage also turns my stomach, but I love the their taste.

Any type of shellfish....I get sick from the smell. I like cod, tilapia, and tuna. Also, I cannot stomach asparagus or okra.

M.

I'm like you - I hate asparagus. I won't even look at it in the grocery store. My husband thinks I'm strange because I also hate fresh green beans and snap peas. I would prefer them out of a can. On the other hand I am a huge fan of mushrooms and will eat them all the time but my husband refuses to have them in the house outside of condensed soup.

I do not know if it is a food but I cannot stand Indian food.

I have tried about 10 different restaurants which were different regions of India and I do not like any of the spices. I want to like it but everytime I feel sick.

I do eat vegetables and fruits now that I did not like growing up i.e. spinach. I say continue trying maybe one day you will like it.

I'm going to have to go with anything in a can. I just can't do it. My husband will only eat vegetable out of a can and it skeevs me out!

I can't do sea food- the smell just ruins it for me, except when I was pregnant I could not get enough crab cakes, go figure. Guacamole- it's green and mushy, yuck. Smelly cheeses.
My hubby loves to fish and have catfish frys at the house and he keeps trying to get me eat it but I just can't.
Alot of my food isuues have to do with smell and texture so if it stinks don't count on me even trying it.
