What is a relatively common food that you just can't eat?

[58limited]

I cannot do raw fish (sushi). Even if I like the taste my stomach rebels bigly. Also avocado and most green veggies - parents gave up trying to make me eat them. Finally saw a study where some people perceive them as excessively bitter - that's me.

I'm sensitive enough that I can tell by taste if a burger joint removes lettuce from a pre-made burger before giving it to me when I order meat only.

[Mr. Bones]

Ouch. That's jus gotta be a hard row to hoe...

[synodog]

My uncle had that with raw onions. He could detect their presence from a mile away 2 weeks ago.

Plain cheese slices.... the wrapped in plastic, single serve, processed cheese. 🤮 even touching them is hard for me.

I’m ok with it on a hamburger, because it’s melted. And that’s the only way I’ll eat this. Even just orange cheese, I just cant do plain.

but those wrapped slices....repulsive!

[Willy]

Oh, and ripe (brown) bananas and whole avocado. Guacamole is fine, but not chunks. Like ripe ‘naners, the texture is just revolting to me.

[Richard Chrz]

Corn. Both off or on the cob, just never impressed. Seems like a filler to me. Also, no tater tots

[dubob]

I had to laugh at that. Most Germans are 100% convinced that corn is only fit for use as a feed for farm animals.

[RustyHaines]

Interesting dubob, I read where Berliners were convinced the US was trying to humiliate them when the Berlin airlift included cans of sweet corn.

[Clark]

Richard Chrz I cannot believe I am saying this but ol' Panhead John finally got one right! Olathe Sweet Corn is the BEST! When we lived in Colorado, we made many RV trips to the Western Slope tp get it by the basketful. That and Palisade Peaches!! We stayed a few times in a nice RV park in Olathe where the lady owner would give you several ears upon checking in PLUS she had a daily happy hour (local wines) for her guests and gave out more corn and peaches to take home.

[BourBonQ]

Coconut flesh in any form.

[bbqLuv]

Kidney Pie. Gag me once shame you, gag me twice . . . Never may that happen.

[prepperjack]

Fish of any sort. Oh, and cilantro - apparently I am genetically superior to most other people and my body recognizes cilantro for the evil that it is.

[prepperjack]

Oh, I forgot to mention milk. Just the scent of it makes me gag. I have no problem with dairy products (yogurt, cheese, sour cream, etc.) and I cook with it all the time, but the last time I had a "huh, I wonder if I still hate milk" moment was 35 years ago, if not more.

[Mr. Bones]

Thus far, this has been a thoroughly illuminatin, entertainin thread, ain't no mistakin.

Many thanks fer sharin, yall.

[Craigar]

Freshwater fish. Mac & cheese.

[bbqLuv]

Freshwater fish and Mac&Cheese not for me, please.

[treesmacker]

Cantaloupe

[Starsky]

Beets, any variety

[dubob]

Have y'all noticed there hasn't been a single mention of baby backs or brisket?

[58limited]

I can't stand boiled baby backs

[dubob]

Completely understandable since that isn't real food. 😁

[Panhead John]

I HATE BRISKET! STEAKS! SAUSAGE! RIBS! BURGERS! HATE THEM ALL!(unless they’re cooked).

[JeffJ]

Olives. Can’t stand the flavor. Asparagus because it’s a gout trigger for me.

[Mr. Bones]

Gout is never a Good Time, from what I've witnessed, vicariously

[MBMorgan]

Mr. Bones - Keep it vicarious, my friend ... trust me!

[mrteddyprincess]

I agree with others about olives and turnips being on my list, but this dish is called "three bean salad" and it was common at all of the pitch-ins where I grew up in Indiana. It's served cold and has a vinegar dressing, and as best I can tell is the nastiest flavor combo I've ever put in my mouth. I like beans. I like all the types of beans. But beans were never meant to be eaten cold nor put in something called a salad!
