Common Popular Foods You Detest?

[Lewkat]

Zucchini, rice or avocado. Detest them all.

 

[Chet]

Calamari. You can never chew it enough. You only swallow when you are tired of chewing.

Macaroni and Cheese--can't even stand the smell of it cooking! Oy vey...

That reminds me. Rice. I don't like it, and I can tell when someone has been cooking rice. People think rice has a neutral flavor and smell, but to me it's quite strong.

Speaking for all Americans, not even the cheapest peanut butter smells or tastes like vomit to us. Cheap p'nut butter is usually either sweeter or saltier than the quality stuff, but otherwise it's all just pulverized peanuts and oil.

I'm not saying it can't smell like vomit to you, tho. If you say it does, it does, for sure.

I think it can taste and smell kind of like vomit, but only if it's stale.

Oysters .. no, thank you!
Sardines .. double no, thank you!

Oysters are great, but ya have to drink at least six beers first...

Sardines? I used to like them, but I like lobster, cod and halibut better.

Most of the things you folks don't like, I like a lot, however won't comment only to say to Murrmurr..
Have you ever made your own hummus at home or is it shop bought?
My mother in law taught me how to make hummus bil-tahina...it's to die for served with warm pita.

 

[Purwell]

Pasta in any form.

 

[Jamala]

Now who likes moussaka...if you do, come and get it freshly made!

 

[Flarbalard]

I've never cared for figs.

 

[BC Flash]

I will try any food once (that is the rule for my children as well) - both sons and daughter are quite adventuresome and will eat any foods during their travels.

I love cilantro but I know many friends who don't. Here is an explanation:

[RadishRose]

Detest?

Runny eggs
Licorice candy
Liver, but I like pate

 

[PamfromTx]

I'll eat oKra only if it is burnt to a crisp. I cringed when I ate it in gumbo (seafood) because hubby loves it. I finally got smart though... I pour 1/4 cup of oKra in a small pan to boil, just for him.

 

[Lilac]

All seafood...especially tuna in a can .

 

[PamfromTx]

Eggplant
Cilantro
Avocado
Mango
Papaya

 

[PamfromTx]

And.... we think children are picky eaters.

 

[Right Now]

Eggplant
Okra
(Both are slimy)
Marmite.....ugh!

Eggplant and okra must be fried to get onto my plate. I love them both but only fried. I will say that if you grow your own they are much more tasty than what you buy in a store. Just like a home grown tomato, you can taste the difference.

I hate beets... on a salad, in some type of cooked dish, etc. But I drink 4 ounces of beet juice every day for health. It tastes more like V8 juice than beets. Go figure.

Eggplant is also on the list. Yes, it's slimy. But I will eat okra if it's fried. I'm from the South.

Same with pickles. I can eat them but I discovered just how tasty fried pickles are when we moved to Texas.

 

[Devi]

I happen to like cilantro, and some of the other things mentioned above.

But kale. Ugh.
I feel I should strap it to my shoe soles and go a-walkin'.

 

[JustDave]

Liver. I guess it could be a common food, because it's in all the meat departments. I hated it as a kid, tried to like it as a young adult, and realized I was never going to acquire a taste when I was 30. I would just as soon eat vomit. It amazes me that some people actually like it.

 

[Tommy]

I had to think hard to come up with any food that I strongly dislike if top quality ingredients are used and if they're prepared well. Those are a couple of huge "IF"s. There is no food that can't be made disgusting if poorly prepared.

The only thing that comes to mind is Vegemite (more of a condiment actually). I really like Marmite, but to me Vegemite tastes like jellied car exhaust.

jellied car exhaust

Too good!

The adjectives that have come about on this thread is quite entertaining
