Food you refuse to eat

[Guitarmasterx7]

I'm usually willing to try anything, and I have a fairly diverse taste in stuff I do enjoy.. but I can't stand oysters and mussels. They are just disgusting.

Ugh yeah I've eaten the one and only raw oyster I'll ever consume in my life. My gag reflex was mashing eject like crazy but somehow I managed to keep it down.

Define refuse to eat. Do you mean refuse to try? Because I'll try pretty much anything (unless it's quintessentially the same thing as something I've already tried and decided never again) pretty much the only thing I won't try is shit like balut (that's duck fetus, which I have unfortunately had an encounter with)

but if you just mean things I avoid eating there's quite a lot. Most commonly Asian foods. I don't like a most of the sauces/glazes/seasonings etc. and I think any sort of sweet flavor tastes terrible when complimenting any kind of meat. Also after trying Ethiopian food, it's no mystery so many people there are starving. Their food tastes like gasoline smells. And mayonnaise. I don't find it particularly gross, I just don't like it and it completely to overpowers every other flavor when it's on something.

Bananas.

Ignore the shameful flavor. I can do without eating something that has a consistency that reminds me of a soft bowel movement.

Cheesy

Peasy

So then, Tallahassee(s), if it's the consistancy, does that mean you have something against other sliced deli cheeses? Or is it about just the nature of mild cheddar (which is what American cheese actually is)?

Because, on the flipside, I hate Swiss cheese. I do not like the taste of it at all. Seems bland to me, kind of like it's the part of the sandwich that takes the properties of the surrounding meal because it's not very strong itself. I don't like that. By the same token, I don't fancy tofu either, though I have to admit that swiss is better than tofu. It's just that neither are on my like list.

Oh, and there's alot of fastfood joints that I won't be eating in any time soon.

Bananas.

Little Edit: You realize that that's pretty much the opposite of what bananas do, right?

I'm good with pretty much everything apart from shellfish.

Oysters, mussels, that kind of stuff. Makes me gag; it's all too slippery. Shrimp is fine though.

 

[Ticklefist]

Virtually anything white and creamy. Milk is absolutely disgusting.

OT: Meatloaf.

I'm sorry, but no. It smells and tastes nasty. It looks like a cow took a shit on a plate and someone thought it would be a good idea to bake it. I've had people tell me that it's because I haven't had their meatloaf, so I have no idea what I'm talking about because their meatloaf is awesome.

Look, I love me some meat, but that's where I draw the line for meat food.

Yea, fuck meatloaf. It is a horrible abomination created in the 1950s with the explicit purpose of selling Campbell's tomato soup. I won't eat it no matter how good anyone says it is. I've had to make it at my job a few times and most of the people there like it (I'm the weekend cook at a retirement home type place) but I still won't eat it. Not even my own. The very concept of it disgusts me completely.

Other than that I won't eat things like turkey bacon or turkey sausage. Those are not acceptable meat products, they are lies. Sauerkraut, who the fuck thinks rotten cabbage is a food item?

Anything with straight mayonnaise or sour cream can just go jump off a cliff. It absolutely ruins the flavor of whatever it's smeared on. Onions, too, can go jump in a fire - there's no reason to put them on anything. If you really must have a random gross crunch in whatever you're cooking, maybe consider burning it - at least it'll taste better. Crunchy Peppers need to go back and be cooked until they're the consistency of tomatoes and I can handle them... let me see, I'm generally not a fan of cheese in any variety, but can eat it without a fuss.

 

[Saulkar]

I was born sensory defensive and as thus there are many, many foods that I cannot eat without throwing up. The list includes any and all cooked vegetables (excluding potatoes). Also raw celery, corn, beans (not peas), and many fruit.

Sorry, what? I didn't say they make me have soft bowel movements, I meant that the consistency makes me think of eating one.

 

[Colour Scientist]

Mashed potato.

It actually makes me vomit.

I don't really eat mashed anything but especially potato, the texture is disgusting.

 

[MrHide-Patten]

Turnip Cake. Never again. I never knew such a damn thing existed, didn't need to. Never.

 

[RaikuFA]

Eggs.

Dunno why but I can't stand the taste of egg dishes. Fried, scrambled, omlets, benedict.

I can have stuff with egg in it(i.e cake) but hate the taste of those above dishes.

 

[Mirakill]

I hate the yolk of eggs, I refuse to eat them if they're even slightly runny and even when they're solid I have to force them down covered in all different types of sauces and spices to disguise the flavour.
I also try to steer away from mussels. I can stand them raw maybe like one or two but cooked is just...no
Raw mushrooms I won't go near either.

Granted there's nothing I eat that actually affects my body negatively so it's not TOO much of a big deal and I will eat those things if I've been starved for 3 days or something but at the same time I'd like those foods to stop existing.

 

[FalloutJack]

Voip

I feel we're about to argue semantics over cheese here, so I'm just gonna agree to disagree, 'kay?

 

[Dwarfman]

I used to be fussy when I was a child. But then I grew up developed a palate and became a chef, so there really is nothing out there that I won't try at least once.

My food philosophy in this regard is avoid eating any primates, anything that's capable of developing opposable thumbs and anything with a high IQ. In the later regard though, I have eaten the odd cuttle fish with little regret.

 

[Dirge Eterna]

Onions.

Raw onions, steamed onions, chopped onions, fried onions, sauteed onions... onions.

Fuck you, onions! FUCK YOU!!!

Haha I love onions! I would pick and eat them raw like apples from our veggie garden as a kid. I put them on everything that they make sense on and several things they don't. Steak, burgers, chicken check, check, check!

I have a thing about milk, I cant stand the taste or smell of it unless its on cereal or mixed into something like a milkshake. I know its something mental but meh. I was forced to drink buttermilk and a lot of regular milk as a kid so I think it scarred me.

Anything that's touched ketchup. I either amputate the section that's come into contact... or I just don't eat it. Other than that, I'm not very picky.

I'm on your side! Ketchup (or tomato sauce as we call it here) sucks. It's just salt, sugar and red food colouring. Gimme Aioli any day.
