hairs on your chest (green veg)

I don't know if you have heard the expression, but my mum used to say when I was a kid if you eat your greens they will put hairs on your chest. errrrrrm LOL oh my goodness she was right, the thing is now THEY ARE TURNING WHITE LOL please don't tell app nut Bob

There is also, I think, a saying about putting color in your cheeks. There's certainly a joke about that:

 

Mother: Eat your spinach. It will put color in your cheeks!

 

Boy: Who wants green cheeks?

 
More -

You never know what you don't like until you try it...these "TRIED" I can say, I don't like : artichokes, pickled herring, liver, caviar, raw oysters, crawdaddies/ crayfish, depending on how it's prepared... asparagus.

It's ineresting how our tastes sometimes change as we age. Some things I can handle now that I didn't like in my teens...not many.
 
Sorry Canadians...,

Maple syrup. I absolutely can't stand the stuff. I've tried various fancy versions in Canada and I still just really dislike the flavour, to the point I would have to brush my teeth and use mouth wash to get rid of it.
 
Calamari

I read not too long ago that over 2/3 of the food sold as calamari in restaurants is actually seasoned pig's anus. Duplicates the chewiness, etc.
 
Yuck John!

that's dusgusting. If squid is chewy, it is over cooked (fried), or needs to be cooked a long time to make it tender, as in sauce. In a cold salad, like with octopus, olive oil, lemon, olives,onion, etc. there is no way to cover that stink up.
I can't imagine chitlins (pig guts) not having a gutty after taste, even after soaking in vinegar, I could tell it isn't squid for sure.
I love calamari, and get it from an Italian market, and only order the flash fried from a finer restaurant.
I make it in marinara sauce for Christmas, being Italian.
 
And all this time I'd thought Calamari was SQUID!

Maple syrup, I can't stand when it's emitting from the smell of dirty dishes, of which an odor of copious amounts came from a pile of plates just at my mom & dad's years ago, when my sis & I were still living there & someone (not me) may have put too much on pancakes or waffles & not have eaten all of that remained on the plate...

Seems to have happened just this morning, as my daughter & a friend of her's who'd slept over this past weekend, couldn't shmush their syrup in the frozen mini pancakes I'd made them (I was toooooo tired to make real ones amid my daughter's begging) so even not able to determine which plate was whose & not wanting to waste any of the remaining syrup just made some corn bread (w/ the last of my Aunt Jemima mix) to soak it all up...

Naturally (pun intended?) I like REAL Maple Syrup better than the myriad "imitation flavors" out there, but then, if I would just splurge the double-digits on the real stuff, I think I would be ahead, as I must have spent perhaps TWICE that amount there, so while I can't stand the smell, I LOVE the taste & there, it better be the REAL DEAL...!

johnrk

I am sorry john so close after losing my partner Terry, I am in tears with laughter here. If you don't understand me I am sure the older more educated would explain, oh yes all you can eat Chinese Buffet restaurants. I have eaten horse meat that was used as curried Beef, putting it politely my stomach rebelled 6 hours later. The restaurant now does not exit. Any way if you like a good literacy read the web site I have been quietly sharing is Terry own web site. There is also a short story about Terry him self but be WARNED, get past the disclaimer the introduction is from me and how we met. Be warned the introduction will curl your toes but please read his story,to those who dont know me I lost my partner in August 27th 2017 its still rough right now

Well, I never thought that this would be a food that I this day (or yesterday) I would despise, or simply do not enjoy eating:

SOUP!

This is made w/ the meat juice (beef & pork) drippings, that I add a bouillon cube & a cup of water, per-cube, to... And I often add kimchee, teriyake or even ordinary beef or pork (if there are pork remainders) Raman noodles to--which somehow out of every case, this just became the turn to the worst dislike, in that I can no longer eat...

(And of course, liquid, hot or cold like this would be hard to transport to my dad's, unless I get a big thermos...)

Jello/Gelatin

Surprised this wasn't on more lists.  I think my aversion comes from growing up here in Iowa, where it seemed like most ladies had some kind of Jello Salad "Family Recipe" that they would always bring to potlucks or picnics.

 

And as I child I was taught to take a reasonable sized serving and eat it (no matter how repulsive) in the name of good manners!

 

 
 
Well, then you might like Twizzlers that is somehow still called "licorice" but vastly available in other flavors that I dislike if it's NOT Licorice...

But, to me, it's the mostly it getting stuck in your teeth...

A lot of avocado's

are coming from Peru currently, and have no flavor. California are the best, of course, and Mexico second. It's the same with pineapple. Hawaii doesn't grow enough anymore to ship to the mainland, so we get them from Costa Rica now.
 
Avocados... I grow my own... right now my Hass tree is full of fruit. So ripe it's falling to the ground on its own.

I plan on processing a bunch of it into oil this weekend.
 
The Costa Rican pineapples are nasty. We found some from Mexico that were decent. My absolute favorite pineapples are the ones in Taiwan that taste like a Pina Colada.
 
Won’t eat...

Miracle whip, crab or lobster, black licorice, anchovies, olives, cottage cheese, liver, & calamari (for reasons posted above).
Won’t drink: red wine, diet anything, and Kambucha.
 
The fact that I'm probably 50 or so pounds overweight should tell you that there aren't many foods that I despise.
I'm the type who's usually willing to sample anything. I've never understood people who decide that they don't like a food item without ever trying it.
That being said, the one thing that I ate one time, and have no desire to ever have again was lamb.
And even then, as much as I disliked it, I've had people tell me that it all depends on how it's prepared.
So...I probably would try it again; prepared differently.
But then, if I still hated it, I'm done!

After having a job which involves extensive overseas travel, I have had to adapt to eating more foods than I would have before this. But, there are several things that I really despise!

 

1 - Cooked squash. It's just so mushy, nasty, and the texture is horrendous!

2 - Mayonnaise on a sandwich, or anywhere I can see it. It is pure filth crawling with disease-causing bacteria!

3 - Anything with bones - small game meat, chicken, ribs etc. Takes me back to biology class in dissection lab. I can almost smell the formaldehyde when I see it. If I eat meat, it's got to be finely cut covered in sauce and mixed with vegetables to hide it. Also, my empathetic nature makes it very hard to break apart chicken bones because it is clear that was a live creature. Even though it's dead and cooked, it affects me to watch the joint rip apart when breaking off a piece of the food.

 

Those are three which I encounter and cause me disgust / wasted food from time to time.  :)
 
Dave

I actually went through a time where I felt that way about chicken!
Over time, my love for how it tastes overcame most of the negative or guilty feelings.
I still prefer when foods don't in any way resemble how they looked when they were living, breathing creatures though.

Barry
 
Look, only if you can stomach what's not for--

--the faint of heart:

 

Okay, re: foods that resemble when they were living:

 

Let's show you my thanksgiving turkey: Of which, merely reheating, made my dad wonder if when I gave him the bones and other inedible remants, if it was BURNT...!

 

But, actually, the cranberries, and onion soup mixture, saw a more appetizing BONELESS breast, finished, but unfortunately not shown...

Years and years of finding that the mouth and nose are connected but often in the derogatory sense, the kernels left on an ear that are too many to just throw away, the stabbing from a holder, sometimes it jabbing and stabbing you right in and/or around your mouth area...

Has anyone mentioned CORN ON THE COB?! —Well, I will!

And the way the butter sometimes doesn’t go or stay thoroughly around it, and the way the salt just falls off on you plate...! Oh, and those kernels stuck in your teeth...! —there!!!!
