Food you refuse to eat

[lacktheknack]

Raw tomatoes are the spawn of Satan.

And this year yielded an absolute bumper crop of them. The apocalypse is clearly upon us.

Beyond them, I can eat anything without even screwing up my face.

Bacon. Absolutely anything with bacon (like potato chips). And it seems the " higher quality" it is, more disgusting it seems to me.

Funny, since I eat anything else (even raw eggs and stuff), except for this some strange reason very famous food.

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

Green vegetables. Yeah, I know, I'm a five-year-old, but really now, they're disgusting and bitter. I don't care how you cook them.

Also any insect or spider.

 

[Tiger King]

I'm not that picky an eater but I won't eat
Black pudding
White pudding
Sushi
Sushi looks nice it's just cold, if it was grilled or something i bet it would be nice.
Wouldn't really be sushi afterwards though ha ha.
I'll add crapdonalds to the list as their 'food' is really awful.

Squid or any animal that's equally as squishy. It's not the taste, that's fine (sometimes), it's the texture. The squishy, full-of-liquid texture that should be reserved for citrus fruit is terrifying for me when it involves something that was once moving around of its own free will.

I feel like I should mention a good friend of mine in this. She's the pickiest eater I've ever met. We tried to come up with a list of things she eats, and we got to 16, half of which were combinations of other things on that list. She survives primarily on a diet of potatoes, butter and bread. I'm dead serious. There was an article I read back in April that basically said, "You can live on nothing but potatoes, butter and bread" and my friends and I all thought, "Yeah, we know. Here's living proof of it."

So I have a delicious burger in front of me, I'm about to eat it and I notice someone has covered it in Salad...I refuse to eat a burger that has salad on it. I like salad on its own, But why do people insist on putting it on burgers? I think a plain burger tastes better on its own without all the extra crap put on top.

On a side note here - Mayonnaise. I have had several times where I have ordered a spicy burger only to have it covered in Mayonnaise, which is apparantly there to reduce the spicy taste...if I wanted to have a burger that didn't taste spicy then I would have just ordered a regular burger!

Avocados.
I used to love the green bastards but then I ate one that was old or got too hot or rotten or something and now just hearing the word or seeing one from across the room makes me dry heave.

 

[Psychobabble]

In my travels I've found that I'll eat just about anything. However I cannot stand anything that has a strong artificial orange taste. Tang or those American puffy orangy flavored candies that look like giant peanuts make me gag.

Processed packet food like the cheese mentioned by the OP is a true abomination, including sickening concoctions like tinned so-called 'ravioli' & 'macaroni cheese' (inverted commas because they really aren't what they claim to be).
Overcooked beef because it's a crime to treat a decent cut of meat like that.

The epitome of that kind of inedible mess for me is the McDonald's product:
Bread that isn't bread, but instead a characterless mockery of it with added sugar; a pale imitation of meat with none of the flavour or texture, but instead is a weird greasy pastel of what I imagine processed baby-food to be like; a bizarre attempt at what I assume would be labelled 'salad' by someone who's had the concept explained in an incomprehensibly foreign language; a dressing made from an emulsion of sugar, acetic acid (not/ vinegar), & esters.

It's the sort of thing I'd expect a backward child with an underdeveloped palate to barely tolerate, & it genuinely mystifies me that adults apparently willingly consume it.

Raw onions (any). I enjoy grilled and/or sauteed onions, I like onion rings, but raw onion makes me want to vomit. I hate when restaurants put it in the middle of soft things without telling me or telling me about onions in the menu description. Biting into something crunchy while you expect it all to be soft, that's one of the vomit factors. Burritos are the worst, because I love them and even if I tell them no onion; if I just get one rogue raw onion bit - it'll put me off the whole thing. Raw onions have also put me off of most versions of guacamole.

 

[Ushiromiya Battler]

Paprika and tomatoes are horrendous...
If just a tiny bit gets in my food I gag, funnily enough tomato ketchup and tomato sauce is absolutely no problem.

As I am a Norwegian I have to mention the obligatory Rakfisk and Lutefisk. Lutefisk tastes like crap and Rakfisk is actually pretty nice for being half rotten fish.

EDIT:

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.

What? They're not made of mashed and squeezed tomatoes? HERESY!

 

[kickyourass]

Sauerkraut, I am very open when it comes to food, there is nothing I'm unwilling to try at least once, but I HATE sauerkraut. I dislike cabbage in general, but I can usually stand to eat it, but sauerkraut is where I draw the line.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

The only thing that I've ever come across that I simply cannot eat is Ranch Dressing.

I'm not sure what it is about this salad dressing or the process at which it is made, but every time I put it in my mouth it literally fills my tongue with a burning sensation. I've gone over the ingredients found in typical ranch dressing and each of the ingredients (minus one that I have yet to try) individually do not cause me any discomfort as opposed to them all coming together in ranch dressing.

I don't have any problems with other forms of dressing (in fact, I've loved Thousand Island dressing since I was my kid and it was like my ketchup back then). Until I taste the last ingredient, I'm staying away from ranch dressing.

OKRA

Okra is a vile vegetable and should be purged from this planet. It's actually slimey. What kind of kind, loving god would make a smiley vegetable?

 

[Cybylt]

If it's something that I know has a risk of killing me or giving me any other adverse effects, then I won't eat it.

So... you don't eat?

Took me a bit to think of something myself, but I'll have to go with eggplant because of the really weird contrast between the leather-like skin and the nigh-on gel consistency of the meat.

Also I'm pretty sure anise is only two letters off from anus for a reason.

 

[EHKOS]

Cornbread, and Sauerkraut. The only two things I truly know I despise. I eat either of these and my gag reflex instantly kicks in, and I only have to smell the latter for it to happen.

I tried, I really tried to try a bite of Octopus once, but there was a sucker on it, and I couldn't get it into my mouth. I...I just couldn't. *shudder*

 

[Cowabungaa]

Raw chicory is one of the blights of humanity.

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to serve that bitter monstrosity raw?! I mean fine it's good when you stir fry it, add curry powder, some cream and ham but sheesh, raw?!

 

[The Great JT]

Anything made of pork. I hate the taste of pork.
