What common/popular foods do you hate?

[Eldarion]

Spaghetti, I hate it.

I'm also part Italian, figure that out.

 

[Red Albatross]

Condiments. Keep your fucking condiments, I like to enjoy the taste of slaughtered animals unadultered, except sometimes by cheese. But, c'mon, it's cheese.

Seriously, I don't understand why people slather their burgers in mayo, mustard, and ketchup, or dump so much barbecue sauce on pulled pork or chicken that if it was alive, it would drown. Don't even get me started on ridiculously spicy food covered in ten different kinds of hot sauce. If I want to eat chicken wings, I'd really prefer to taste the chicken and not just the hot sauce. Do people's taste buds malfunction?

My old roommate used to absolutely drown everything in barbecue sauce (even macaroni and cheese, it smelled horrendous). Besides the obvious fact that that kind of treatment makes food soggy and messy, I just don't understand. He might as well have been eating tofu or textured protein, it would taste the same in all that sauce.

I don't know, I just prefer spices or dry rubs that are nice and subtle.

I must sadly inform you that I am not a picky eater.
If I'm hungry, I would eat just about anything that even 20% of other random people would eat.
I can't think of a single popular food that I can say I hate.

Ever so slight preference against, at worst, and not for particular foods or ingredients, but just for particular ingredients in too high concentrations, but then again that wouldn't really make that food popular at all to begin with.
So, basically, I don't hate any even remotely popular food.

Pizza.

I'm the outcast at just about every social endeavor. Work, school, at home... You name it. Apparently disliking pizza is some sort of taboo 'round here.

I think the reason people dislike your not liking pizza is it makes it more complicated to have you at social events. Pizza is kind of the default food that everyone enjoys and is easy to get your hands on, so when someone won't eat pizza it complicates things.

Don't take that as me insulting or berating you, just explaining why it's "taboo."

OT: Onions, tomatoes, ranch dressing, and mustard. Really limits what one can do with burgers/salads.

Yeah, that's a fair observation. It's still kinda frustrating sometimes. I don't really eat much in general, so most of the time when I'm with friends or whatever and they want to order a pizza I just find some bread or drink juice.

I thought I was the pickiest eater know to man; I guess I stand corrected. In my picky diet, pizza is a major staple, though only plain cheese or pepperoni. I can stand sausage if I am forced to, but my main problem with that is it doesn't agree with my system anyway.

The only meat I eat is bacon(that definitely redeems me a lot, even the picky eater loves bacon), and chicken if it is breaded and fried. Chicken nuggets, breaded fillets, and strips. Though I will not eat chicken if I see it has come off the bone. So at KFC, I will only eat strips or popcorn chicken. Fast food wise, Wendy's is my favorite place. Chicken wraps from heaven. Besides with food amount and quality wise, it is cheaper than McDonald's. (Two Wendy's wraps = same amount of food as three McDonald's wraps. Over a dollar in savings, with the money you save you can buy a third Wendy's wrap. Besides, Wendy's chicken is better than McDonald's) Sorry, I go on tangents.

It isn't always the taste of foods that make me not like them, it is also smells, but mainly texture(my mom thinks I am crazy about not liking foods because of texture). I don't eat beef, because it doesn't matter how it is prepared, it always smells like body odor, like sweat stank.

I guess there are many things I eat, but when it comes to going out to a restaurant, it can be hard, especially if I haven't been to the place before. At most places, there is really only one, maybe two if I am lucky, things that I will eat.

Edit: On OP's topic. I can't outright say a popular food other then some of what I mention in my post, but if you suggest something, chances are good that I don't like or eat it.

 

[thahat]

Mayonnaise, mustard, and tuna.
Tuna is goddamned Stink-Napalm.

seconded, minus the tuna.
hmmm tuna salad XD

 

[Sonic Doctor]

Any Pie other than lemon Meringue.
Goldfish.
Peanut Butter.

I would die if I didn't have peanut butter, it probably makes up 10% or more of my diet.

Goldfish? That's a popular food? Ooooh, wait, do you mean goldfish crackers, or actual goldfish? Because I just added this part when I figured out that you probably meant the crackers.

-----
Right now I rationing my food because I can't go out and buy food for about three days. Because I need the money to buy my cap, gown, and invitations for my graduation this fall. I'm down to 8 packets of instant oatmeal, three slices of bread, and about 18 slices of cheese, and a can of corn. Eating won't be exciting, but I can survive on that for three days. I've been in tighter jams...I think.

 

[Above]

Cheese,condiments and pretty much ANYTHING green or healthy.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

Fish dishes. Almost anything with fish in it I hate with a passion. They just taste so nasty to me.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Meat.

I'm a vegetarian though so that's obvious.

And don't you better not make a dick joke at that...

[mandatory dick joke/]I got some meat you might like...[/mandatory dick joke]

OT: Like several others, I would say Cake. I just never understood the appeal.

 

[HeySeansOnline]

Pie, all pie, cherry, apple, peach, lemon. I despise them, all except bannana cream and chocolate. Every other type of pie can be removed from the face of the Earth in my book.

 

[andriod]

Tomato sauce i honestly can't stand it, and when your in Australia everyone puts tomato sauce on everything.

 

[natster43]

Fruit. I can't stand fruit. Though I like fruit juices.

 

[Porygon-2000]

Popcorn.
I'ts bland, hard to enjoy and gets little bits stuck in the gums. No thankyou sir.

 

[Sakurazaki1023]

Any sort of deep fried meat (fried chicken, chicken fried steak, etc...) is enough to make me sick. I guess it has something to do with the massive fat content...

I also can't stand cherry tomatoes and breakfast sausage for various reasons.

 

[Quaxar]

Cheese and fish, both rather common food items. While I absolutely loathe fish I can eat cheese from time to time if I'm too lazy or too cheap to scrape it off, I just don't like the taste.

 

[MikailCaboose]

Quesadillas... I don't care how many people say that it's the best thing in the school lunch-line, I just really don't care for it. That or a lot of Mexican foods, but quesadillas are about the only really Mexican food that's common around here.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Something that is a new trend in Australia: Mi goreng

Its nothing but cheap, plastic noodles with chilli sauce in them and everyone thinks they're great.

 

[Arkvoodle]

Ketchup.
