Are there any foods you refuse to eat?

[Beth76]

I'm not talking about anything you're allergic to or anything really exotic (ie sushi). I'm talking about normal everyday foods. I can not eat tomatoes or mushrooms.

We had dinner at some new friends house this weekend and they served grilled tomatoes. Normally, I would have just skipped them, but she made up the plates. I didn't want to be rude and not eat them, but I just really can not eat tomatoes. I dislike broccoli a whole lot too, but if I *have* to eat it, I can. But, for some reason, I absolutely can not eat tomatoes. Fortunately, my friend understood and I made a point of telling her how wonderful everything else was.

Does anyone else have any foods that they absolutely can not eat?

I will not eat green beans or olives. Any color, any size. Will not do it. Cannot even eat a slice of pizza if I pick the olives off. Too much residue gets left behind.

BTW--I love grilled tomatoes!

There are lots, much to my mother's frustration. Now my inlaws get frustrated. Luckily, I did not pass that down to my girls.

Lamb, liver, mushrooms and spinach.

This is a true story, when I was in college a friend invited me home for the weekend. Her mother said she was going to make a special dinner and after months of cafeteria food that sounded great. Well, we arrive from school and dinner is about to be served. It turned out to be lamb, spinach and rice w/ mushrooms . I ended up pushing the food around my plate and filled up on bread and salad.

I will not eat tomatoes because I can't stand them (ketchup included), any type of seafood (too fishy), or onions - I like the flavor, but not the feeling of slimy onions between my teeth.

I also won't eat anything with a grainy, baby food-like texture. That includes peas, mashed potatoes (unless they are VERY lumpy), applesauce, baked beans, etc.

Finally, I won't eat anything soggy. This means no milk on cereal, bread that's wet, or cake ala mode.

What can I say? I'm a freak.

Mushrooms, tomatoes, onions. Ick, ick, ick

 

[JessetheCowgirl]

Any kind of fish--yuck!

 

[Patty3]

I will not eat lamb, olives, onions, beets or brussel sprouts.

 

[Lynn CC]

Red Meat of any kind

 

[ZebraStripes]

Lima beans...yuck!

Mushrooms, raw tomatoes, and shellfish. I just can't get past the idea of eating an entire animal whole.

Also I can NOT eat blue food. It's just so unnatural and it really creeps me out.

 

[Ibelieveinfairies]

Tuna and anything made w/mayo...blech!

 

[Shugardrawers]

brussell sprouts!!!
liver
ham (though I like pork chops)
any type of melon makes me gag
frozen green beans (canned is fine)
chicken or turkey or pork hot dogs (beef only)
chocolate in any form


My DH actually dislikes chicken! I have known the man 4 years now and made it 2 or 3 times a week with nary a complaint. He's alway eaten it all. Now he tells me chicken is a dirty (poop) eating bird and he doesn't like it!!! Sheesh! Ya think you know a man...

I don't like lamb either - a little too gamey for me. I have never eaten veal and don't ever plan to.

While I love almost every dessert, I really dislike the taste of mocha. It almost gives me a gag reaction. It really stinks because chocolate is my all-time favorite and lots of times there's mocha hiding in chocolate desserts.

OK, so what food is blue? I can't think of anything.

I can not eat anything with visable eggs! They completley gross me out.

I don't eat veal. Or any funky meats...like Venison/Deer (sp?), buffalo, bison, or poultry like Ostrich...(Some of the foods they serve around here! ) And veal is just too...I just can't imagine eating it...I'm not a PETA advacate at all, but I just can't.

 

[monarchsfan16]

There are lots of foods I won't eat.
Raw vegetables (I'll eat some cooked but I don't like raw ones)
Onions
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Duck (and after I saw some swimming in a wastewater treatment lagoon I will NEVER eat duck...you never know where they've been)
Venison (that IS everyday in NH)
ham salad (but I'll eat ham)
tuna or chicken salad that has celery in it...that just ruins it

I will not eat canned green beans (frozen is fine) or French cut green beans. Also will not eat sauerkraut that is in a can. It must be in a bag or glass jar. I hate cooked carrots. Oh and don't make me eat stewed tomatoes and okra. Okra must be fried.
