I was interested in what foods the folks don't like?

We talk all about the stuff we do like so i just wanted the flip side of it. Besides when i have everyone over for dinner i need to know what not to cook

Only two things i don't really care for are butter which has made me feel sick since i was a kid and cauliflower cheese which is strange cos i love cauliflower and i love cheese

Mix them together though and i go green......

That's so funny, Yogi! I'm the exact opposite. I can't eat cauliflower unless it's covered with cheese, or batter dipped and fried - in other words, disguised in some way. If I have to look at cauliflower, it reminds me too much of brains, and I can't eat it.

I like most foods (and I look it, btw), with the exception of some vegetables. I can't stand brussel sprouts or lima beans, for example. I also don't care for most fish, except for shellfish, which I love. Oh, and I dislike most berries, especially strawberries and raspberries. I do love blueberries and blackberries, though. I think with the other berries, I don't like the seeds.

And with the exception of desserts made with strawberries and raspberries, I pretty much love dessert.

Liver! Liver! Liver! I can't even stand the smell of it.

A close second will be beets.

SB, i love brussel sprouts.

Beth, i love liver and beets.

I don't really have a sweet tooth as such but i do eat desserts...but only 3 times a day

I love liver, too. The first time I ever had lunch with Plawrence, I ordered calves liver. He was completely put off. I haven't had beets since I was a kid, but I don't remember disliking them.

Yogi, my husband loves them, too. He dislikes peas and artichokes, though, which I love, so we rarely have those. And pasta with peas is one of my favorite dishes, and I haven't had it in years.

My kids hate nuts and beans, which we like, so it's pretty hard to get a meal going in our house, unless it consists of broccoli, steak and macaroni and cheese, three things we all agree on!

I guess I wont' be invited to either of your houses for dinner..haha.

Another food I'm not too fond of is cranberry sauce. I think really my sister Angel is the only one who likes it. I had Thanksgiving meal at my house one time. I bought a can of sauce just for her. I opened the can, and the sauce slid right off the plate and onto the floor. I said, "Boo hoo, no cranberry sauce for you". We all started singing, "On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese. I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed....". My family's wierd, what can I say. Now you know where I get it.

Let's see I don't like beets, cottage cheese, seafood, theres not a whole lot I don't like.

I know he hated liver. We went to a deli once and he ordered a tongue sandwich (that shit grosses me out) so I ordered chopped liver on purpose. He had the nerve to ask me how I could eat that.

Besides tongue, I absolutely abhor cottage cheese. It looks like something I threw up when I was REALLY sick. Just the word "curd" makes me wanna puke.

I don't like most beans, although I love baked beans.

I can't eat sushi but I like most baked or cooked fish.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes but I love pizza, ketchup and tomato-based pasta sauces.

It'd take me WAY too long to respond to this, and not because I have a long list of things I dislike, but the opposite -- I cannot believe all the great things everyone else is dissin'!!

Next time. I gotta hit the sack early (gotta meeting in NYC tomorrow)

I see cottage cheese getting a mention and i forgot about it. I can eat cottage cheese,but i wouldn't go out of my way to get it if you know what i mean?

Eldest son Michael doesn't eat chips(fries), yet he eats other forms of potato. Andrew does not like mushrooms and Jennifer hates tomatoes,yet loves pizza's.

Buncha weirdos

Beth, I don't eat cranberry sauce either. Whenever I have Thanksgiving, my mother makes some from scratch, otherwise there's a very real risk of there not being any at all. My mother-in-law has been known to bring a can, just in case.

I forgot about cottage cheese. That's just nasty stuff.

Yogi, my girls have the same eating oddities. My one daughter loves ice cream, loves cake, but won't eat ice cream cake. My other daughter loves jelly on bread, loves cream cheese on bread, but won't eat cream cheese and jelly together. The oldest loves chicken, the youngest can't stand it. One loves spinach, the other hates it. One loves green beans, the other won't eat them.

Ditto on the above. I enjoy all seafood, except sushi. I can live without tomatoes on subs and in salads, but I love ketchup, pasta and pizza sauces.

What I dislike most is mayonnaise. It gives me the creeps. As a result I don't eat creamy salad dressing or macaroni or potato salad.

I don't care for mushrooms either. And I don't like ricotta cheese.

I love apples, apple pie, apple streudel, apple tarts, muffins, cobbler and cake. I love apple cider and baked apples, but I can not get myself to eat apple sauce.

There are not too many foods that I don't like. My Mom was a stickler when it came to me and my brother eating whatever she managed to put on the table. We had to eat liver, tripe, sweetbreads . . . all that stuff. When you're a 5 year old kid and you've already tried calves brains, there's very little left to gross you out. But I wouldn't go out of my way to have them today. And when it comes to fruits and veggies, I can't even think of a single one that I wouldn't eat.

How could I have forgotten pickles and mushrooms? Also I don't like cooked carrots but I love them raw.

DITTO Beth! I hate liver with a passion! Just the thought of it make me want to

I love liver, smothered in bacon and onions. The trick is to not overcook it. Eat it nice and BLOODY.

You forgot Spaghettio's DC. I actually like liver and onions. Oh yeah another food I won't eat is mountain oysters.

I can eat all vegetables. And all fruits as juices... I hate peeling, de-seeding etc. I dislike the sight and smell of all meat products and can eat them only if they are well disguised in smell and look.

I love minced beef. I grew up on it. Minced beef and mashed potato was something we had 3 times a week when i was a kid.

Yet i hate the smell of mince cooking....

Weird eh?

Now being on nights for a while again, i always take something in for a midnight snack. Last night i took in a shop bought tuna pasta salad,something i usually like!

This one however was rank. Enough to put me off it for life. Can that happen to you with food? One bad experience,eating something you like(that is horrible) and it puts you off that food forever?

That's what happened with me and gin.

I dislike any internal body part with the exception of liver (with plenty of onions, of course).

Now PB, isn't your taste for liver cooked (barely) that way a little Hannibalish?

Only if you serve it with fava beans!

It happened to me with sherry

I was 14

Did Sherry's dad ever find out?

Not yet Klyd,not yet....

After reading the gravy thread, I feel very confident saying I don't Tangled guts (whatever the hell that is). I don't have to taste it. It's title says enough.


TIS

Calf's liver with bacon, onions and ketchup is the BEST.

About the only thing I don't like is anything with coconut in it.

After reading the other topic........BALUT!

I won't eat bananna's or any type of meat, I'm a strict lacto-ovo vegetarian, I've been my whole life and I just don't eat bananna's cause I hate the taste of them. I used to eat bananna's when I was little, but later on I began to be disgusted by the taste of it.
