Foods you refuse to eat

Milk (kind of surprising how many people don't like this stuff, isn't it)

Miracle Whip salad dressing (ruins anything it touches)

On the other hand, Gemlady, I'll eat your brussel sprouts and asparagus! Yum!

When I was a kid I didn't like peas either, and my family would put *one* on my plate just to watch me freak out. But I like them now, especially raw.

Uhmmm.....well, how would you know THAT?

For me, its more the texture than the taste. I hate brussel sprouts because they are so mushy (unless I haven't had them cooked right).

My biggest thing...I can't eat soggy bread. If I get a hoagie and the dressing has made part of the bread soggy, I can't eat it..I'll eat around it. Chipped beef on toast, the toast has to be separate and I'll dip it in the gravy.

I don't like veal (again the texture and the way they treat the animal) or raw oysters.

Other than that, anything goes!

Fun question! I absolutely won't eat:

Meat of any kind
Fowl of any kind
Seafood of any kind
Anything made with animal products, like marshmallows or Jell-O
Mushrooms
Asparagus
Lima beans
Green beans
The unholy triumvirate: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, & cauliflower
Parsnips
Turnips
Cucumbers unpickled
Melons of any kind
Anything with caraway seeds

But I'm the only person I know (other than my parents) who likes beets! Harvard-style beets are one of my favorite things in the world...

Only seaford I will eat is deep fried shrimp and then only if I don't have to see their little tails too much (love fish though!)
Cannot eat lobster - they mate for life ya know, amazing creatures
Any foul other than chicken
Lamb, veal - just cannot do it
Black eyed peas - they taste burnt
Don't care much for cooked veggies - raw I can eat and love em- although tomatoes are great cooked. Cauliflower, cabbage are yecky cooked. (Irish ancestors are rolling in their graves)
Spicy foods hurt my delicate tummy
Canned spinach YUCK
Rocky Mountain oysters
Brains of anything
Avacado - guacamole
Edit: Canned beets
Think that's all

Growing up poor, we ate pretty much whatever was set in front of us - feels rich now to be picky We ate all those cow parts other people don't like
Love all fruits especially melons .. nummers!

I cannot eat.....
.....organ meat! Eeewww, tongue, heart, liver, etc, is absolutely disgusting!

.....veal--I grew up on a farm and we raised a few veal calves and I cannot imagine wanting to eat a baby.

.....I only eat a few vegetables so most vegetables make me gag.

I love seafood though!

Foods I won't eat:

Peppers (they taste like vomit, and I have no idea how anyone eats them!)
Meat (which does, in fact, include fish and other seafood. dead animal is dead animal)

Foods I am allergic to (they all contain the same chemical somehow, I'm not crazy):

Melon, all kinds
raw peas (like in the garden, my family will just pick them and eat them, but I can't)
Raw carrots
raw broccoli
bananas that aren't too ripe
various other raw fruits and vegetables (and yes I can eat most of them cooked)

Oddly, one of my good friends is allergic to hops and can't drink regular beer, and I can't drink that wheat beer. Which is weird, I'm not allergic to wheat in general.

I will not drink milk unless it's chocolate.

I will not eat carrots that are cooked or just regular.. they have to be baby carrots!

I hate gravy.

I hate peas, green beans, onions, and lima beans. I will have an onion on a hamburger from Wendy's sometimes, but otherwise I won't eat them.

I will not eat any pasta besides macaroni and cheese.

I won't eat something really, really spicy but I will eat something that isn't totally spicy, but it's mild.

I won't drink plain coke.. I only like pepsi products.

I only will eat french fries and those spuds from taco bell but not mashed or baked potatoes. I also will not eat the crinkle cut french fries. I hate the texture!

I will not eat whole berry cranberry sauce, but i will eat jellied cranberry sauce.

geeze, I know I am picky!

artificial sugars! (SO bad for your brain!)
artificial colors
artificial flavors
(not sure the above are actually foods)

fatty meats
brains
tripe
(have tried 'em, don't like 'em)

refined foods (especially refined sugar)
processed foods
plastic (if you eat off/with/on plastic, you are eating plastic)

If it's a vegetable, fruit, grain, or from the ocean, I like it.

You know, when I was living in Guam, they actually sold "beef ureathra" in the market. In the frozen food section. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that beef penis? It sure looked like that to me. So, I'll add that to my list of what I WILL NOT eat!

Beef
Olives
Mushrooms
Saurkraut/cabbage
Tomatoes
Root beer
Kraft Dinner with the cheese. I eat it without the cheese.
Gravy
Beans
Eggs, such as scrambled eggs but I'll eat them if they're in something
Bananas. Hate the texture!
Any cooked vegetables. I loooove raw veggies though.
Milk

Sea Food: Cant' stand the taste of it. Tastes like dirty water.

Black Eyed Peas: They just seem to weird.

Anything I can look at and identify what part it is. Such as feet, heart, neck etc...

How do you know what pee tastes like?

Peas and tomatoes (unless I grew the tomatoes).

I snuck one out of Eric's bag the other night and about gagged...I've never tasted anything so foul in my life!

Raw or under cooked eggs, that includes eggnog
Cilantro. I've tried it and just can't acquire a taste for it
Jello. The slimy consistency reminds me of mucous.

I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to food and like to try all kinds of things. In all fairness it's only possible to say you don't like something if you have actually tried it.

I don't know about taste... but I can't even get passed the smell of it, which I agree, it does smell like pee.

I won't touch foods containing those either, they're very scary. That and they do make me sick if I accidentally eat something with them in it. I've managed to make DH learn to avoid them too.


I have HUGE issues with food texture
Foods like
Jell-o
gummy bears
normal yogurt
cottage cheese
jellys/preserves
peanut butter
guacamole
any sort of creme filled snack - like donuts
are

No weird meats
organ meats
seafood or anything out of water (I agree, it tastes like dirty water) and to add to that crustaceans = water version of insects.

Anything that smells strongly
mustard
mayo
salad dressings
sour cream
curry

I don't like bananas either, it's a combination of the texture, taste, and that it smells like rotten fruit. And because I have no tolerance to it, I avoid spicy foods

OH! and just about anything my MIL cooks, that woman RUINS food!

I am willing to eat or at least try most veggies.

I agree! I can only eat bananas if they are still green because they too mushy if they are yellow. Everything has to be hard and crunchy...I hate soft and mushy...it makes me gag. :Barf:

The thing that grosses me out most is if someone gets a milkshake and it's really thin or melted....it seems like I'm drinking salva and it makes me feel really sick. I just can't do it.

There isn't a whole lot that I don't like, it's just gotta be a certain way for me to like it.

I like milk, but only if it's ice cold.

but I HATE Salmon...it smells soooo bad.
Liver...can't stand it.
mushrooms alone, but if they're mixed in with something else, I don't mind them. Same with tomatoes.
I don't really like red meat, but my husband does, so I'll eat it sometimes.

I'm not really a picky eater, but I tend to stick with what I know I forsure like. I think it comes from the fact that I was really poor as a child and we couldn't afford to be picky.

I also hate a lot of things I have never even tasted I am a weirdo I do not like fast food period, Hamburgers are out I wont eat them from anywhere I do not trust Fast food meat ( At least that is what they say it is) I would rather slave over a stove

That's not weird. The burgers from fastfood places are only a certain % actually meat. I'd rather have a real burger made at home.

on a side note.. a friend was telling a while back of the nasty stuff they stick in premade patties and burgers over in Holland.

I don't really like the plain pork rinds but I love the barbecued or spicy pork rinds.

I will eat raw spinach leaves but hate canned spinach!

and I won't eat mushrooms unless they are cooked.

I'm with you on this one. I also can't eat mustard, cooked spinach and oatmeal (unless it's in a cookie).
