bunnybooks Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 Recently tried a sweet and smoky fish dish. Pieces of fish in sauce. It went totally wrong as the fish crumbled to little bits as it stuck to the wok! I ended up with a mulch that tasted so bad and had little bones in. Yuck. Went to the chippy in the end! Quote

Peahen Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Irish steak and peppercorn sauce potato crisps, they left the worst aftertaste Quote
TheAppleQueen Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 baked beans - the sheer taste makes me gag :/ Finally, someone else sees baked beans are evil o_o I'd have to say haggis. I'll pretty much try anything once. And once was enough. Quote
Rowhedge Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Frog's legs - tasted lovely, but I couldn;t get the idea that I was eating a frog out of my head! Quote
Kreader Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Creme caramel. We made it in a school cookery class. It turned out perfectly but just before we were going to taste it a girl started hiding to avoid eating it. She'd had it before and it was not to her taste. I found out that she was right. I can't stand all those caremel/toffee/fudge desserts which rules out most icecreams as well. Strangely enough I do like brown stewed chicken/meat. The chicken is browned using a little freshly burnt sugar. I like savoury stuff better than sweet stuff. Oh and I have seen others at holiday camp eat a cheese and peanutbutter sandwich. I've tried it and it was kind of ok. I wasn't as adventurous to have a sandwich with the cheese, peanutbutter, pepperoni, jam and hot peppersauce that some ate. I have even peanut stewed chicken, you can add peanut butter rather than getting nuts and having to grind it yourself. Obviously you'll not have a nut allergy. I did go off peanut butter for over decade and began eating it again when I was 21. I won't eat popcorn, I know how to pop it perfectly but I stopped eating it when I was a child and won't touch it now. I won't eat marshmallows either so I won't be roasting them over a camp fire and I won't be eating desserts with them. Quote
gardengirl Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Junior school tapioca pudding circa 1958, It was so mind bogglingly awful that I dropped the dish on the floor [an accident Miss!] Quote

Why these vile things are such a nation's favourite I will never know. The taste, the smell, the texture *shudders* Quote
Onion Budgie Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 I tried making pineapple guacamole last summer. It was a disaster. The avocado was underripe, and I didn't have any red onions (had to use brown), so I ended up with this uber-lumpy, overpoweringly-onioned bowl of muck masquerading as something edible. The pineapple made it even worse! Quote
Virginia Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Poi (sp). Ugh! Went to a luau my first trip to Hawaii. I tried it and it was disgusting. Quote
bookmonkey Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Tripe - Tried it at a friends when I was a teen. Disgusting stuff. Quote
chaliepud Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Since I started eating Paleo I have had to try and get over some food dislikes, broccoli for one, I only started eating that a few years ago as the appearance always makes me think of brains , I can't go near cauliflower for that reason. Mushrooms and olives too, I can just about manage tiny pieces if they are in something else but the texture is just...yuk! I can now eat sauerkraut and sort of like it, and avocado if I eat in when the texture is right, I love the flavour and know they are a superfood so I make the effort. THANKFULLY, baked beans are a no no on Paleo so I don't have to try them, they are indeed the devil's food! Even the smell makes me nauseous, thankfully only one of my three kids ikes them! Quote
Madeleine Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 I'm the same with mushrooms, although I like cream of mushroom soup, and a creamy mushroom sauce eg with pasta. But I agree the texture is ick. Quote
poppy Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Tinned guavas. Had them once as a child, with junket. The thought still makes me shudder. And banana passionfruit. Quote
Nollaig Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Bananas. The texture is absolutely vile. i don't like any fruit with soft flesh (I like apples, and grapes are tolerable once I don't chew them too much) but bananas actually trigger my gag reflex if I so much as put a piece near my mouth. Also hate baked beans, or beans of any kind really! Quote
Madeleine Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) At last! Someone else who doesn't like soft fruit either, I have exactly the same reaction as you, it's to do with the texture. I can eat apples (as long as they're not soft, if they are then it's straight in the bin for them)and melon but that's about it. Edited June 27, 2017 by Madeleine Quote

I said I don't like beans! I also hate chickpeas. Quote

Echo Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Foods I've tried and HATE (and texture is a huge part of why I don't like a food): broccoli meatloaf fish (any) sausage artichokes anything chunky or fatty hamburgers Quote
