Cheesecake. Anything made with cream cheese (or sour cream, for that matter). Ick. Just ick.

Oysters. Raw or otherwise

Beer (What IS the fascination with beer? I don't get it. It makes good bread, but that's all I can say for it.)

Cannoli is way, way overrated. 

I like tapioca.  
 Not Jell-O tapioca. Real tapioca.

Not a fan of licorice either. Twizzler candy is just gross
Now that tapioca is mentioned, I don't like it either. It just looks like clumpy frog eggs or something with a weird texture. Bubble teas are very popular where I live and the "bubbles" are large-ish tapioca pearls that you're supposed to suck up through a large straw and chew on. I've never had one and don't ever plan to

And that. Not a fan of cream cheese anything, although cream cheese frosting with lots of sugar is tolerable.

Bananas - just the smell of them turns my stomach. Orange juice doesn't agree with me, and I'm not wild about Indian food, though I'll eat it. Otherwise I'm not picky.

Most regular cannolis are just eh. A few years back I had a cannoli from one of the more famous Italian bakeries in Boston and I have to tell you, the hype was well-deserved. It was pretty amazing.

I like tapioca too. It's delicious.


I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't like cannoli. When I was a kid growing up on Long Island, it was one of those desserts that people were crazy about. My friend's mom ordered one from a bakery for a party that was HUGE. It had smaller ones around it. I thought thee whole thing was revolting. The large one had candied fruit bits in it (also GROSS!) and the small ones had chocolate chips. What a cruel thing to do to innocent chocolate chips IMO. I'll take a cream puff instead.

I like tapoica and boba tea :D. Some boba are solid tapioca, some are liquid-filled balls. I like them both. Some cannoli are good and some are bad. . .depends who makes it. I don't like it with stuff in the cream though, no chocolate chips or anything, just cream. I like pickled okra, or if it's cooked in a way that isn't slimy. That's all in how it's cooked; okra is not naturally slimy, actually kind of fuzzy, lol.

I don't like roast beef. Strings get in your teeth, ugh.

Mayonnaise

Beer and wine

Onions. Even one tiny piece of onion in a food will flavor the whole thing with onion and make in inedible

I DO like tapioca though


But I don't think I would like the tea version.

Certain famous people 
 for example I find Adele totally overrated.


*Gets shot by a sniper*




But if we are talking mainly about food and beverages...


- Peanut butter. I have known so many people who adored the stuff and would eat it by the spoonfuls by itself. Not for me I'm afraid! Though oddly enough, I do like peanut butter with chocolate (But only in particular ways) and I don't like nuts. And in which case I hated peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a kid.

- Twinkies 


- Mac and Cheese. Don't see what is so special about it. 

- Thai food

- Oranges and pineapples

- Mizuna and Arugula in salads. Again, seem to be surrounded by people who enjoy it, but I can't stand the stuff!

- Cauliflower 

- Herring, particularly pickled herring. Likely understandable in the North American world I assume, but since I half come from a Scandinavian/Finnish family, saying you do not like herring is like an Italian who says they don't like pasta 


- Dill and Parsley 



Yeesh now I look picky!

@Cassiopea  I'm with you on the Thai food. I like spicy food, but not so spicy it makes you choke. That's not food, food isn't supposed to hurt you!

Funny you mention herring. You should try telling Japanese people that you don't eat fish. The looks they give you! It's like you've insulted everything they hold dear about their country and culture.
