What normal things do you not like?

[scrapquitler]

There seem to be certain flavors that catch on every once in a while and they seem to suddenly be on everything. But not everyone likes them.

What normal things do you loathe?

For me it's maple syrup and ranch dressing. I can't even stand the smell of maple syrup. If I accidentally buy the bacon flavored bacon or breakfast sausage, I give them to the neighbors or just throw them away because I can't cook them.

Starbucks (but I love 'regular' coffee AKA not sludge)

Butterscotch

And amaretto. I love almonds and nuts, and any other nutty liqueur, but amaretto makes me shudder.

Makes a man I know shudder, too. I was at a party a few years back and enjoying a conversation with DH's co-worker...a very "proper" (actually very prissy) acting man. We had set our drinks down and he reached for his but picked mine up by mistake. (Mine was amaretto on the rocks.) He was, *very eloquently*, explaining his role in doing yada, yada, yada for the company when he suddenly spit a mist of amaretto across the room and totally lost his composure. His carefully groomed persona was blown all to pieces and he's never been the same since. Hehehehehe!

Ooh, I'll take that nasty butterscotch off your hands if you properly dispose of this maple syrup!

Avocados and thus guacamole.

I can't handle the texture of avocados plus they taste weird to me. And guacamole, why would someone want to eat something that looks like that???

I'm happy to see at lot of people saying mayonnaise. I always thought I was really weird for not liking that and it makes it hard to have a sandwich because they're so dry without it. I like yellow mustard but hate the dijon kind.

I am not a big mayo person. Then I do a sliced turkey or ham sandwich, I actually butter my bread instead of mayo to cut the dry factor. But I do like mayo on a cheese burger.

Makes a man I know shudder, too. I was at a party a few years back and enjoying a conversation with DH's co-worker...a very "proper" (actually very prissy) acting man.

It was this close to being my DH's reaction when he grabbed my Dr Pepper once. The waiter sat my Dr Pepper in front of DH and before I could switch it, he grabbed the glass and took a huge drink. I thought I was going to have to in order to not get sprayed, but he struggled and got it down. He now looks very carefully before taking a drink outta his cup if the waiterstaff brings us both a refill at the same time and he knows it a Coke product restraunt.

I won't eat mushrooms b/c of the texture, but I like the flavor, so I grind them up.

wow i thought i would be the only person to say chocolate -- the smell of it makes me wretch.. which sucks as almost every desert everywhere is chocolate --

i also can't be near Doritos -- the smell once again..

and Soy Milk puts me in full mode panic.. literally -- i was once offered a "sample" of soy milk at a grocery store and almost tipped over a display as i was walking backwards shouting "NO NO SOY MILK I DON'T WANT IT!" it surprised not only the lady, but myself as well -- completely took me by surprise-- like she was trying to hand me a cup of spiders or something.

 

[MomofKatie]

Dark chocolate (really just about all chocolate, but especially dark)

Coke and/or Pepsi

Sweet tea, even though I'm a Southerner

Artificial banana or strawberry flavored candy, cookies, drinks, gum, etc.

Meatloaf

Coffee anything. No coffee flavored drinks, no coffee ice cream, no espresso spiked desserts, NO COFFEE EVER. Blech- tastes like burned dirt!!

Okay, the chocolate and Doritos qualify as "normal foods you can't stand." But SOY MILK? That stuff is not normal, it's way out there. (I have to buy it every week for DD and it still offends me to have to lend it fridge space).

 

[Little Flower]

Mushrooms - the smell of cooking mushrooms can keep me away for days!

I also really hate bananas yuck!
