what foods can't you bring yourself to eat?

Olives. Well, until recently.
I was sure I tried them as a kid and didn’t like them and hadn’t touched one since.
A couple of months ago my kids (in the very impressionable 3&4 y/o stages) bullied me into eating one. They both love them, so found the sight of me spitting it into the sink whilst retching hilarious. Never again.

Most things go down the hatch apart from:

Really stinky cheese (stilton, gorgonzola etc.)
Brains, tripe etc. (Liver and kidneys are ok in small doses)

Never eaten in one but would struggle with anything from a Harvester or Toby Inn

Shellfish; not huge on seafood in general but like the odd bit of salmon, shrimp, scampi etc, but not the more exotic stuff. Was put off it in two instances; 1# was a fancy restaurant in London where they didn't remove the st tract from the king prawns I ordered and the dish smelt foul in general, the other was a work trip to Houston where a full seafood buffet was laid on. There was no alternative and I was starving after a long day so tucked in. The next 6 hours of hugging the toilet bowl were pretty grim.

Not a fan or Cauliflower, sprouts or Broccoli either; doesn't matter how much seasoning or mint sauce you slather on them, I still hate the underlying taste.

Tomatoes, celery and lemon although i love a Bloody Mary.

Humans.

Tastes just like chicken.

You may as well eat bloody chicken.

They don't talk back to you either..

Mushrooms: they're grow in dank damp dark places and the texture is odd.
Never tried jellied eels, and suspect I never will try them.

Good call; repulsive looking things.

[paua]

Rhubarb

Indian food, pork pie and tomatoes! I think I could survive exclusive on those three things.

Some make more sense though...


I'm not a big fan of cold tongue. I can stomach it if forced to be polite.

+ another!

The OH used to make some kind of "healthy" chocolate mousse thing that involved making avocado into paste and mixing it with maple syrup and raw cacau powder. I enjoyed it for a while but one day felt myself feeling very nauseous at the prospect of eating it and haven't touched it since.

Also. Olives. Can't stand them and can't understand why anyone would want to eat them. Except, over the years I visited a restaurant called Auberge (now called Cote Brasserie) on St Christopher's Place off Oxford Street a few times. They would give you a complementary bowl of olives when you sat down. For some reason, whatever they' done with them, they were quite nice.

Offal except Kidney in pies,sprouts and mushrooms

For me it's beetroot, I just can't bring myself to try - made even more weird by the fact that I do like beetroot crisps

I used to be the same but then read it can turn your piss pink, which I thought might be a novelty, so ate a whole jar of pickled beetroot to check. It didn't work but I've loved beetroot since.
