What are flavors/seasonings that you can't stand or tolerate?

[Murdy]

Anise and tarragon. Some other spices are situational (cloves, mace, and other aromatics), and I may like them in only a few things but can't say I despise them.

Cannot stand dill pickles, dill pickle juice, dill pickle flavored stuff especially that abomination of a fad a few years ago of dill pickle juice flavored beers.

I like dill weed though. I use it mainly on seafood.

[Draznnl]

To think I'm somewhat responsible for this thread and I didn't even mention things like Brussels Sprouts and liver which I can be in the same room with, just don't try to get them in my mouth.

[RonB]

Too many things to list, but oily fish is probably at the top. I have tried numerous times to eat salmon and tuna, but it's a struggle to get one bite down.🤢

Ill double down on the pumpkin hate. Pumpkin coffee pumpkin beer pumpkin cheesecake can go right in the bin.

[bardsleyque]

pumpkin beer isn't really beer!

[au4stree]

Black licorice is abomination.

[DaveD]

Cilantro, horseradish/wasabi, anise/licorice are instant dealbreakers. Some spices are fine so long as I can't pick them out of the flavor blend, but if I can identify, it's too much (anything clove-y for example). And vinegar. I don't care for anything pickled.

The list is far shorter than it was up until I was about 20, when I woke up to the world of food...

Decaf coffee

[bbqLuv]

Peppers that too HOT, I mean come on Ice Cream hot.

[DavidNorcross]

I know I am the strange one in this mix, but I like all foods. Just cannot think of something that I will not eat.

[Andrrr]

After reading through the list I have to agree…. except black licorice.

[SheilaAnn]

As mentioned before: bananas, coconut. I can’t stand curries (I really should get over that… or not). Olives are only good when stuffed with anchovies and soaking in good gin (you can sub bleu cheese for the anchovy). Not a fan of pineapple, but I did have a hybrid one from Hawaii once that was sublime. I have never met it’s equal. Coffee is ok, it used appropriately.

[smokenoob]

oh pineapple! Will have to add that to my next loli pop cook! 😀😂😛😎

[Michael_in_TX]

For me....Jamaican Jerk. I've tried....but I just can't deal with it. (Which drives me crazy as Malcom Reed loves it!) Also Chinese Five-Spice. Not my thing.

[FireMan]

I’m with DavidNorcross . As I stated before a few times over the years, there are only two things I don’t like, processed coconut (sugarized) and I can’t remember the other. Love food, some I may not go fer seconds, but I’ll try anything.

[smokenoob]

well if ya can’t remember the second one why don’t ya taste one of my lolipops I made tonight! See Whatchcookin

[Draznnl]

"but I’ll try anything. - @FireMan

I'll try anything once. How do you think I found out bananas and coconut make me gag?

[Red Man]

The only spice I can think of that I don’t like is anise. There’s plenty of foods I can’t stomach…olives, yogurt (even the smell makes me feel nauseous), bleu cheese, mayo.

[Caffeine88]

I'm pretty much with FireMan and DavidNorcross There's a few things I don't care for, but almost nothing that's a complete deal breaker. I dislike Brussels sprouts and eggplant, but I can choke them down. I despise pumpkin spice for its trendy overused BS, but I don't dislike the flavors.

Balut. Black tofu. Never had either, but watching Andrew Zimmer gag makes me pretty certain that's a hard pass for me on both.
