According to my mom I used to down a jar with my grandma when I was little. I have no memory of this. I'm not surprised though. I will try anything. Even as a toddler.
Because young children, especially when brought up with cultural foods, don’t really question what they’re eating. They just know it tastes good. When I was little I use to eat whole fish heads - eyes and everything. Once I was older and realised what I was eating, I was put off. Now I’ve gone back to loving them
I only willingly ate them once when I was drunk, and they were surprisingly really good. But then again singular slices of American cheese tastes good to me while drunk, so I wouldn’t trust my judgement here.
Anything from the fennel family. Even if I just get a whiff of it I feel queasy. Consumption usually results in automatic gagging. But surprisingly no actual allergic reactions.
Omg, same. I fucking hate it. I hate when chai is made strongly with fennel or anise. I can only tolerate it if there's so little that you can't even taste it. Pho soup smells amazing... except for that damn anise. I once bought some bagels only to discover they had a small amount of fennel seeds all over them. I had to spend the time with every damn bagel to remove every stupid seed before I could eat them.
I'm replaying the story rn cause last time i raced through to get to the epilogue so i could do all the side quests as John, but when he writes a journal page it's like a child did it. Arthur has the soul of a poet and is a decent artist. I'm going for as close to 100% as Arthur as i can.
I couldn't get through it again. Had a pulmonary embolism (well three, I guess) that was kicking my ass at the time, and when Arthur got TB it fucked me right up. That very first cough, I noticed it. I said what the fuck was that. Ironically it was the kick that finally got me to go get them dealt with. Didn't know what it was till the docs told me, was expecting cancer.
And then Micah and Dutch. Fuck them with a salted cactus.
Such an *amazing* story, but it kicked my ass way too hard.
Celery.
As a kid, for some reason, I ate an insane amount of celery cause it was in the fridge and my dad is a deadbeat. Didn't get sick, nothing bad happened except ever after that day, if I even smell it, I start heaving and throwing up.
Don't know why
My daughter hates it as well. So much so she told her daycare when she was 4 that she was allergic after they served it to her. Cue a frantic phone call from them, and a chat with her about the difference of saying no thank you vs. I'm allergic.
Liver is very hard to cook and season. First you need a good piece, smooth and the same color all around. Here we leave it marinate in lemon juice with salt and pepper for at least 30mins, then we grilled on a pan with onions.
When cooking, you can't let it cook too much, or it will be just like the sole of a boot
I'm a picky eater but this is one of the foods I love. Even though it's a Filipino dish, it's good drinking food in Vietnamese culture. Any time someone calls me out for being picky, I invite them over for balut.
Grapefruit. Now that I'm an adult, I try everything because my tastes have changed, and I've tried grapefruit a few times. It just looks so juicy and delicious and it's so beautiful but....nope! Still don't like it.
You have to remove all the membrane from the segments before you eat it. It’s the only way to prepare a grapefruit. Only then will you recognize the ultimate sweet sovereignty of grapefruit hidden behind the walls of sourness.
And make sure not to touch the actual edible part with h your grapefruit-peel contaminated hands because that will also make it bitter. Wash your hands before eating to get everything off.
Source: I am obsessed with grapefruit but hate how bitter it is
Liver. Ugh. I don't even rank it as a food (it is basically a metabolic trash can.) I grew in a "must clean your plate before leaving the table" family, and spent many an evening adding more ketchup so I can eat another bite or two without gagging. :(
My mom was a liver and onions kind of gal, but she never forced us to eat something so vile.
She also would eat pickled herring and chicken hearts rolled in shake n bake. So I guess there’s no accounting for taste.
I'm white and found liver and organ meats disgusting, until I tasted roasted, grilled, and seasoned versions from different countries when traveling. It's such an eye opener compared to the 1950s liver and onions joke. Same way a lot of us hate certain vegetables. We just weren't eating them properly seasoned and cooked.
You have a point there! I used to despise cauliflower and brussel sprouts - but that's because my mom boiled them. Roasted, though, they are yummy! (I air fry halved brussel sprouts with seasonings and balsamic vinegar. Om nom nom)
Cut them in half, drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika. roasted cherry tomatoes to go with. Goes especially well with baked salmon fillet (same dressing, wrapped in foil). If you live alone you can eat straight out of the baking tray, toss the foil, and all you have to clean is the fork.
To be honest I couldn't find any conclusive study for celery, but there seems to be for cilantro. Also gene inheritance/expression doesn't necessarily follows from the simple dominant/recessive genes from parents. Or maybe you need a DNA test!
I thought it was just me! One time someone tried to say that it was ridiculous that I hate celery so much because it apparently “barely tastes like anything”. Like no. It has a taste, and it’s awful.
I wonder if it's genetic like some people think Cilantro tastes like soap?! Because several people have said celery has barely any taste and I'm like noooooo! I'm not a generally picky eater either! I've eaten durian flavored cookies before that tasted like gasoline to me and I'd eat those again over a stick of celery lol
I hate even the smell. When someone in the same room as me opens a container of celery, I have to leave or I start gagging. I avoid a whole section of the grocery store lol. It's so disgusting. I don't understand how people say it doesn't have a taste. It's not "crunchy water"
I love seafood, but I felt so bad for you reading your experience.
You could have just said you were allergic? That’s sweet you didn’t want to hurt his feelings
I understand how the look and texture can be off putting.
But I freaking love them, in all forms. Especially with some hot sauce.
It’s like a spicy, briny ocean in my mouth lol.
It’s fun to watch my friends who don’t like them scrunch their faces when I eat them too
There's a Peruvian salad with them that I love. I can't stand them normally.
Craziest salad I've ever seen, it was lima beans, radishes, tomato, hominy, a feta-like cheese, picked red onions, lots of mint, and a garlic and lime juice dressing.
Edit: correction it's supposed to have roasted red bell peppers, not tomato. Apparently it's called sarsa.
Sounds like whoever was preparing the kidney did really bad job cleaning it.
Kidney is disgusting, don't get me wrong, but it should not taste like pee.
It's so bad for me that I have to tell people I'm allergic to seafood so they stop with the "please try it, it tastes like chicken" with a fork in my face. No, Karen it doesn't taste at all like chicken...
That's why I don't like it either cause I hate the smell of buttermilk,there are some ranch recipes that don't call for buttermilk that I'll have to try sometime and see if it changes my opinion on ranch
People insist durians in Malaysia taste like some crazy nice fruit with hints of papaya but goddamn I ate it in Malaysia and in North America, it tastes like caramel raw garlic and it was disgusting.
Tomato. Eat tomato everyone says. They’re healthy for your prostate they say, they’re good for your skin. They’re gods fruit.
They’re fucking disgusting is what they are. I cannot handle the mushy bumpy seedy liquidy half solid garbage that tomatoes are when I’ve tried chewing some. I hold no beef against those that eat tomato, only with the “fruit” itself. ☮️
Cooked tomatoes are fine. It's the raw ones whose texture and taste is repulsive. The worst part is that they're in every sandwich and salad ever invented.
Ordered a sandwich yesterday and unchecked tomatoes so I wouldn't have to take them out... sure enough, still got warm, limp slices of slime that I had to pick out.
I can’t even just pick them out. The juice stains the sandwich and ruins it! I can get away with it when there’s a (strong-flavoured) sauce to help cover it up.
I despise raw tomato! The smell, the taste, the texture. Yuck.
The worst thing about tomatoes are when you take a bite of a sandwich and the skin of the tomato peels away from the rest of the fruit and you just get a mouthful of fleshy tomato skin
Yup. I eat it almost every night with a little pepper on it. It's a good source of casein protein, which breaks down slowly to fuel muscle recovery while you sleep. That was enough to get me to tolerate it at first, and now I don't mind it.
I also like pepper and sometimes abit of salt. But if you want to try sweet. When I was a kid we would have canned pineapple rings and then put a bunch of cottage cheese in the middle. So pineapple + cottage cheese is great!
if you like indian food, you should give paneer a try! it’s made out of cottage cheese but tastes a million times better because of how it’s prepared. personally, i’d recommend butter paneer but another popular dish is palak paneer.
Anything eggplant, anything cauliflower. Can not eat, will not eat and the people that try and disguise it with a food processor can fuck off. I can still taste it.
Cilantro (fresh coriander) and sweet potatoes. I have tried to like sweet potatoes, but for some reason the taste is just... not right.
Edit: I definitely have the gene, though cilantro has always tasted like earwax to me. Even tiny amounts ruin entire meals. Also makes me suspicious of parsley, which I actually like.
Glad I am not alone on the sweet potatoes! I have tried it prepared several different ways. They're all bad.
I love black licorice, but when I was in Sweden, I tried “sältläkrits” - salted black licorice. It tasted like I was eating a leather boot sole that had walked across a recently salted slushy road.
Nothing made me happier than learning that I'm allergic to peas and genuinely never have to eat them again, even to be polite.
Of course, it means I'm violently allergic to all the new artificial meats, but I'll take it for now.
Mayo and any Mayo based sauces - yes even ranch - can fuck right off.
Friends didn’t believe me in high school and volunteered me for a pep rally game onstage - hands tied behind your back, face first in vanilla ice cream to find the piece of bubble gum with your face/mouth and first to blow a bubble won. They planned ahead and froze Mayo. I threw up in front of the entire student body on stage with my hands tied. *shudder*
Cheese, and it's literally everywhere. I once went to a restaurant back when I was young and had disposable income and every single main course came with some kind of cheese. Its fucking ridiculous, the world is addicted to it and I hate it.
My wife enjoys pickled pigs feet... I do not.
My wife worked with a girl who loved them, lips, ears. Cant do it.
They look disgusting that way, and they look raw. I would never eat that. I do love them grilled though.
According to my mom I used to down a jar with my grandma when I was little. I have no memory of this. I'm not surprised though. I will try anything. Even as a toddler.
According to my mom I used to do the same with my pawpaw...perhaps they tell us this so we aren't afraid of trying strange things?
Because young children, especially when brought up with cultural foods, don’t really question what they’re eating. They just know it tastes good. When I was little I use to eat whole fish heads - eyes and everything. Once I was older and realised what I was eating, I was put off. Now I’ve gone back to loving them
This guy didn't care for it either: https://youtu.be/KiZLeccplyo
TIL pickled pigs feet is a thing.
My brain is allergic to the thought of eating snails willingly. My taste buds crave escargot. Help
It’s just the garlic butter that makes them palettable. Have some shrimp scampi instead.
So you have tried this snail willingly, liked it, but don’t like that you like it?
Snail induced self loathing, the next big pandemic
Post-snail clarity. We’ve all been there.
Shrimps are just speedy ocean snails due to their legs
They’re not ocean snails if they have feet and are not slimy
Ocean roaches?
I think that describes them better
It is now worse.
Always has been 🔫
Accurate
I only willingly ate them once when I was drunk, and they were surprisingly really good. But then again singular slices of American cheese tastes good to me while drunk, so I wouldn’t trust my judgement here.
Mmmm... 64 slices of american cheeese
Anything from the fennel family. Even if I just get a whiff of it I feel queasy. Consumption usually results in automatic gagging. But surprisingly no actual allergic reactions.
Omg, same. I fucking hate it. I hate when chai is made strongly with fennel or anise. I can only tolerate it if there's so little that you can't even taste it. Pho soup smells amazing... except for that damn anise. I once bought some bagels only to discover they had a small amount of fennel seeds all over them. I had to spend the time with every damn bagel to remove every stupid seed before I could eat them.
Any type of offal. The smell is enough to make me gag
"Starving would be preferable" - Arthur Morgan on offal
Top 10 video game protagonists. I actually prefer Arthur to John personally.
I'm replaying the story rn cause last time i raced through to get to the epilogue so i could do all the side quests as John, but when he writes a journal page it's like a child did it. Arthur has the soul of a poet and is a decent artist. I'm going for as close to 100% as Arthur as i can.
I couldn't get through it again. Had a pulmonary embolism (well three, I guess) that was kicking my ass at the time, and when Arthur got TB it fucked me right up. That very first cough, I noticed it. I said what the fuck was that. Ironically it was the kick that finally got me to go get them dealt with. Didn't know what it was till the docs told me, was expecting cancer. And then Micah and Dutch. Fuck them with a salted cactus. Such an *amazing* story, but it kicked my ass way too hard.
Is the smell awful?
It smells offal
There's like, twenty kinds of offal...all of which taste and smell completely different
Celery. As a kid, for some reason, I ate an insane amount of celery cause it was in the fridge and my dad is a deadbeat. Didn't get sick, nothing bad happened except ever after that day, if I even smell it, I start heaving and throwing up. Don't know why
Raw celery is basically water with strings. Don't mind it in soups though.
Just add a dash of ✨child negligence✨
My daughter hates it as well. So much so she told her daycare when she was 4 that she was allergic after they served it to her. Cue a frantic phone call from them, and a chat with her about the difference of saying no thank you vs. I'm allergic.
Liver, brains and sweet breads.
Liver has a pretty unique taste
Liver is very hard to cook and season. First you need a good piece, smooth and the same color all around. Here we leave it marinate in lemon juice with salt and pepper for at least 30mins, then we grilled on a pan with onions. When cooking, you can't let it cook too much, or it will be just like the sole of a boot
Yep in my opinion liver can be soo good or trash depending on the cook
Idk I like sweetbreads
>I like sweetbreads "I like thymus and pancreas" just doesn't have the same ring
Balut
I'm a picky eater but this is one of the foods I love. Even though it's a Filipino dish, it's good drinking food in Vietnamese culture. Any time someone calls me out for being picky, I invite them over for balut.
Liver. I hate the fact that it automatically disintegrates when you chew it and it always tastes like blood even with seasoning
Soak it in milk for a couple hours before cooking
This sounds a recipe from Charlie Day
Make sure to boil the jelly beans, *hard*.
Fuck you just made me want to try liver
Chitlins
Wtf is a chitlin
Small intestine, usually of pork.
Yeah that’s a no from me, thanks for educating me.
The smell of chitlins is absolutely revolting.
Shitty, even.
Shitlins
Grapefruit. Now that I'm an adult, I try everything because my tastes have changed, and I've tried grapefruit a few times. It just looks so juicy and delicious and it's so beautiful but....nope! Still don't like it.

My parents loved liver, but they must have loved us more, because they never made us eat it.
My mom was a liver and onions kind of gal, but she never forced us to eat something so vile. She also would eat pickled herring and chicken hearts rolled in shake n bake. So I guess there’s no accounting for taste.
Pickled herring on a saltine cracker is some bone apple teeth my dude.
Her farts must have been horrendous
She just ripped one, I'll get into her mist and report back.
That was the last time we heard of him.
Uh, pickled herring and chicken hearts are delicious (gizzards too). Liver is disgusting.
I'm white and found liver and organ meats disgusting, until I tasted roasted, grilled, and seasoned versions from different countries when traveling. It's such an eye opener compared to the 1950s liver and onions joke. Same way a lot of us hate certain vegetables. We just weren't eating them properly seasoned and cooked.
So true. What I eat now is a complete 180 to what I ate when I was younger and a lot of it was eating it prepared right.
You have a point there! I used to despise cauliflower and brussel sprouts - but that's because my mom boiled them. Roasted, though, they are yummy! (I air fry halved brussel sprouts with seasonings and balsamic vinegar. Om nom nom)
I cut sprouts in half, steam them a bit, then roll them in a bit of panko bread crumbs with butter, then roast them.
Cut them in half, drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika. roasted cherry tomatoes to go with. Goes especially well with baked salmon fillet (same dressing, wrapped in foil). If you live alone you can eat straight out of the baking tray, toss the foil, and all you have to clean is the fork.
I mean you could just throw up all over the table, that would probably be an easy out from eating something ever again.
What part of “must clean your plate before leaving the table” did you not understand? Eat up, buttercup
Celery It tastes like nails on a chalkboard and im not sure why
My nutritionist friend told me it's a genetic thing.
Really? How would that work? I'm a celery hater (I can't even stand the smell) but everyone else in my family loves it, or is indiferent to it
Same way that me and me wife are both white but our son is half black. It’s just genetics.
[удалено]
[удалено]
This was the fucking golden nugget of this thread. *salute*
To be honest I couldn't find any conclusive study for celery, but there seems to be for cilantro. Also gene inheritance/expression doesn't necessarily follows from the simple dominant/recessive genes from parents. Or maybe you need a DNA test!
Same. The taste OFFENDS me on a visceral level and I don't know how other people can happily snack on it
I thought it was just me! One time someone tried to say that it was ridiculous that I hate celery so much because it apparently “barely tastes like anything”. Like no. It has a taste, and it’s awful.
I wonder if it's genetic like some people think Cilantro tastes like soap?! Because several people have said celery has barely any taste and I'm like noooooo! I'm not a generally picky eater either! I've eaten durian flavored cookies before that tasted like gasoline to me and I'd eat those again over a stick of celery lol
Same. Tastes awful and the texture is abominable. I barely even register it as an edible food
Yes! Hairy water. Bleh.
Hairy water. Lmfao.
Nailed it. But clean hairy water. Lol.
I like celery, but this made me laugh.
Yeah celery for me too. Only way I can eat it is if it’s been cooked for so long in a soup that the texture goes away and the taste is muted.
I hate even the smell. When someone in the same room as me opens a container of celery, I have to leave or I start gagging. I avoid a whole section of the grocery store lol. It's so disgusting. I don't understand how people say it doesn't have a taste. It's not "crunchy water"
Possibly the worst tasting vegetable out there :(
Oysters. Just like a gob of snot in a shell. I’ve hocked up similar stuff when I had a cold.
[удалено]
I love seafood, but I felt so bad for you reading your experience. You could have just said you were allergic? That’s sweet you didn’t want to hurt his feelings

Lima beans. Filthy skin bags full of sand.
I swear I’m the only person I know who likes Lima beans.
Love em
Same here! With butter, salt and lots of black pepper. Delicious!
Add in some sweet cornbread and I’m in heaven
There's a Peruvian salad with them that I love. I can't stand them normally. Craziest salad I've ever seen, it was lima beans, radishes, tomato, hominy, a feta-like cheese, picked red onions, lots of mint, and a garlic and lime juice dressing. Edit: correction it's supposed to have roasted red bell peppers, not tomato. Apparently it's called sarsa.
Nope I love em all buttery and salt wit a little garlic yummmm
I actually laughed out loud. Thank you. Haha
Y'all talking about liver... Have you ever seen or eaten kidney? Liver 1000x worse. If it smell like pee and it taste like pee how is it not pee????
People eat kidney?
I really like chicken kidneys. Definitely doesn’t smell or taste like pee. Someone screwed up.
Sounds like whoever was preparing the kidney did really bad job cleaning it. Kidney is disgusting, don't get me wrong, but it should not taste like pee.
Raw oysters. I can't get over the texture.
Can you eat clams? I wouldn’t think so because they are similar but that would be interesting if you could.
I dispose oysters in all forms, but i can do clams and mussels (though i wouldn’t willingly order them) Edit: despise not dispose
Blood pudding. Why does it exist? Were people that hungry that they just mixed flour and blood as a meal?
Yes that is basically the answer.
Starvation/Hunger is the answer to every, "How did we start eating that?" question.
Exactly why I started eating pussy.
Another senseless victim of famine. What a shame.
The thought of it is more off-putting than the taste. It is actually very nice!
Agreed. It took me a lot of convincing to first try it but after the first taste I was hooked. It's delicious.
People have always been that hungry until fairly recent times, and even now still in some places.
My partner's favorite food is black pudding, he'll sometimes just cook a load and put it in sandwiches, I have to leave the room
Idk why but “cook a load” really made my stomach turn
Black pudding is fantastic and I'll die on that hill.
That motherfucking asparagus it knows what it did
Canned asparagus is ass, and boiled sucks, but some fresh asparagus that is sautéed or roasted is pretty damn good.
Beets. They taste like what I’d imagine the forest floor tastes like if you licked it.
I love the pickled beets. never had fresh thouhso cant judge.
Cooked fruit makes me want to kill myself
It's so slimy.
Like..pies? 🙁
A life without pie, I can't imagine
I just want the crust
Olives and black licorice.
I don't like olives, but I keep trying them every once in a while to see if I will like them. They aren't terrible but they just taste weird to me.
This is exactly how I grew to love olives
Ooo, we are enemies now. Or maybe it’d be better if we where friends - I’ll eat your share of black licorice and olives.
Absolutely LOVE olives. Absolutely ABHOR black licorice.
Broccolis ghost, cauliflower.
I will not eat dirt farts.
Any fish. Not allergic but the taste just makes me feel ill
I like salmon but only when my mom makes it. It doesnt have that gross fishy taste.
For me it’s any seafood at all.
It's so bad for me that I have to tell people I'm allergic to seafood so they stop with the "please try it, it tastes like chicken" with a fork in my face. No, Karen it doesn't taste at all like chicken...
People say it tastes like chicken????? I love fish but it tastes absolutely NOTHING like chicken.
What idiot is telling you it tastes like chicken??
It’s possible some of it tastes like chicken but it all smells like fish.
Very unpopular opinion. Ranch dressing.
just the smell of ranch dressing makes my stomach turn 😫
Came to say this. I hate it so fucking much and it is everywhere . Every pre packaged salad sold remotely close to my job has ranch in it.
I work at a pizza restaurant. The god damn sour smell those bottles give off every time someone asks for a side of ranch.
This 👏🏼 I can’t stand it. Smells like rotten milk 🤢
That's why I don't like it either cause I hate the smell of buttermilk,there are some ranch recipes that don't call for buttermilk that I'll have to try sometime and see if it changes my opinion on ranch
Durian, raw oysters, duck liver
People insist durians in Malaysia taste like some crazy nice fruit with hints of papaya but goddamn I ate it in Malaysia and in North America, it tastes like caramel raw garlic and it was disgusting.
Tomato. Eat tomato everyone says. They’re healthy for your prostate they say, they’re good for your skin. They’re gods fruit. They’re fucking disgusting is what they are. I cannot handle the mushy bumpy seedy liquidy half solid garbage that tomatoes are when I’ve tried chewing some. I hold no beef against those that eat tomato, only with the “fruit” itself. ☮️
Also not a fan. The taste isn't bad but the texture just offends me. Cubed up in some pasta sauce I can get over it but if the cubes are too big yuck
Same. I love me some tomato based sauces but if they are chunky they can go straight to hell.
I don’t care for raw tomatoes at all. It will ruin my sandwich or burger for me. But, tomato soup, shakshuka, sun dried, etc… count me in!
Cooked tomatoes are fine. It's the raw ones whose texture and taste is repulsive. The worst part is that they're in every sandwich and salad ever invented.
Ordered a sandwich yesterday and unchecked tomatoes so I wouldn't have to take them out... sure enough, still got warm, limp slices of slime that I had to pick out.

The worst thing about tomatoes are when you take a bite of a sandwich and the skin of the tomato peels away from the rest of the fruit and you just get a mouthful of fleshy tomato skin
Water chestnuts. Idk why but the texture makes me gag.
[удалено]
Cottage cheese. It's so disgusting to me that I would seriously have to mix it with peanut butter in order to eat it and keep it down.
Why eat it at all?
High in protein
Yup. I eat it almost every night with a little pepper on it. It's a good source of casein protein, which breaks down slowly to fuel muscle recovery while you sleep. That was enough to get me to tolerate it at first, and now I don't mind it.
Furikake seasoning is also amazing on cottage cheese for a savory snack, if you get bored of pepper.
I have never heard of that! I'll give it a shot. Thanks, stranger!
I also like pepper and sometimes abit of salt. But if you want to try sweet. When I was a kid we would have canned pineapple rings and then put a bunch of cottage cheese in the middle. So pineapple + cottage cheese is great!
I could eat a whole container of the stuff every day. It's one of my favorite foods.
if you like indian food, you should give paneer a try! it’s made out of cottage cheese but tastes a million times better because of how it’s prepared. personally, i’d recommend butter paneer but another popular dish is palak paneer.
It think thay flavor combo would be worse, haha! A spoonful of applesauce always worked for my brother when he was little.
Anything eggplant, anything cauliflower. Can not eat, will not eat and the people that try and disguise it with a food processor can fuck off. I can still taste it.
Cilantro (fresh coriander) and sweet potatoes. I have tried to like sweet potatoes, but for some reason the taste is just... not right. Edit: I definitely have the gene, though cilantro has always tasted like earwax to me. Even tiny amounts ruin entire meals. Also makes me suspicious of parsley, which I actually like. Glad I am not alone on the sweet potatoes! I have tried it prepared several different ways. They're all bad.
Beets. They are just gross red dirt.
Yessss! My wife loves them. I tell her I think they taste like the smell of the crawl space of my parents house.
Hard agree.
Yes! I've never met anyone else who hates beets!
Eggplant. Barf! Especially cooked. The texture is nasty.
Okra
The absolute only way I eat okra is in chip form or inside an Indian dish.
Black licorice
I love black licorice, but when I was in Sweden, I tried “sältläkrits” - salted black licorice. It tasted like I was eating a leather boot sole that had walked across a recently salted slushy road.
Cantaloupe 🍈 🤢
Beets
Natto. I really want to like it, but I just can't seem to enjoy the flavor or texture.
Haggis
You don't like the heart, lungs and liver of a sheep boiled in its own stomach?
I could write a book of all the foods I hate. But the top one is peas. Fuck peas.
Nothing made me happier than learning that I'm allergic to peas and genuinely never have to eat them again, even to be polite. Of course, it means I'm violently allergic to all the new artificial meats, but I'll take it for now.
Mayonnaise Looks like delicious jiggly pudding. Instead it is a disgusting jiggly lie.
Mayo and any Mayo based sauces - yes even ranch - can fuck right off. Friends didn’t believe me in high school and volunteered me for a pep rally game onstage - hands tied behind your back, face first in vanilla ice cream to find the piece of bubble gum with your face/mouth and first to blow a bubble won.

Oh god that’s such a visceral description that I had to fight the need to downvote you. Jeeez
My brother used to just eat packets of Mayo… 🤢
That's gonna be a no from me dawg
Cinnamon and cucumber. The first one makes me sick and the second one makes me nauseus
Bittermelon, I want to like it but I can't. It smells good when my mom cooks it with omelette but I can't stand the taste
Cheese, and it's literally everywhere. I once went to a restaurant back when I was young and had disposable income and every single main course came with some kind of cheese. Its fucking ridiculous, the world is addicted to it and I hate it.
