You Don't Like It But You Eat It Cause It's Good For You

[Lee]

Anything you almost have to force down all the while thinking how a dietician would be proud of you?

Mine is canned salmon, I like a tuna fish sandwich but make that sandwich with salmon and I still think yuck.

What about you?

 

[perplexed]

I eat broccoli but I don't really like it but I know it is a good for you to eat.

 

[hollydolly]

Same with me and Broccoli... if I never needed to eat it again, I'd be happy... but I do because it's supposed to be good for me..

I would never eat Canned Salmon it's a disgusting taste to me.. but I eat fresh smoked salmon.. and smoked trout...

Canned Tuna I eat once in a while..not really over keen on it but it's ok occasionally ..especially mixed with Mayo in Vol-au-Vents

Natural Yoghurt,I over do the fruit with it to take the taste away.

Avocado - even though it is supposed to be good for me. I don't like the slimy taste. When I eat it, I cut it into small chunks and put in salad, and it blends well.

Oooh I hate avocado.. I would never eat it regardless of how good it was for me....

Life is too short to eat anything that I don’t like.

 

[Murrmurr]

No. If there's a nutrient or whatever that I need in a food that I don't like, I look for a food that contains it that I do like. I've always found either a tastier alternative or something tasty that helps my body take care of the deficiency itself.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Cilantro or kale - soapy, bitter & disgusting to me. Decided I'm old enough to go without.
Don't like fish at all, plain yogurt ok if you mix with the unhealthy sugar subs. Figure good cancels the bad.

 

[Lilac]

No, I can't do it. I can't eat or stand the smell of fish. I'll take a supplement even though it may not be as good as the real thing. Or like @Murrmurr said, find another alternative.

I'm not a picky eater, but there are just a few things just I can't eat.

I've always loved tinned salmon, preferably red rather than pink, although not usually in a sandwich.

I know a lady in Florida who detests the smell of mackerel (another one of my favourites) and I'm wondering if dislike of some fish is more common among females than guys. We need a fish poll

ewwww..I hate Mackerel.... I hate kippers, and any oily bony fish...

I detest Mackerel so much that when I'm driving from a nice area into a rundown area I'll often say to my passengers that we're about to experience a Mackerel Moment..

Same here.
I'm too old to worry about eating anything that I don't like anymore .. and I won't.
Just because someone says it's good for you isn't enough reason for me.
I'll take my chances!

I agree about salmon sandwiches.....yuk. However I do like salmon patties that I used to make fairly often. My grandma loved avocados I hate 'em,same as sauerkraut.

 

[Blessed]

I am also one of those who won't eat what I don't like. That said, I am willing to try new foods. I have found I like some things I would not try in the past.

Yes, salmon patties are not bad, I tried one recipe where you added mashed potato and it made the salmon quite edible.

Cilantro also tastes soapy to me. I found out that it's a DNA thing.

I used not to like fish because my mom always made it as fish soup (and I hated the fish bones), but my late husband loved fish, and over time, I grew to enjoy it also.

 

[hearlady]

Thinking. I like everything mentioned.

that's fascinating, what part of DNA makes you think it tastes of soap ?... I love Cilantro...which is called Coriander here...

Agreed about fish bones. They terrify me as they can be serious if swallowed. That's why I don't eat kippers or kedgeree these days and stick to safer options instead

 

[hearlady]

Liver unless it's cooked well like fried chicken livers.

I love kedgeree..but on the odd occasion I have it, I make it myself.. and only add boneless fish ( usually smoked haddock)

Me too.

I'm one of the 4-14% who think it tastes like soap, https://www.britannica.com/story/why-does-cilantro-taste-like-soap-to-some-people
