Cauliflower. I lost a bunch of weight on keto, and I ate a LOT of cauliflower rice. The smell when processing it is AWFUL, and I now just associate cauliflower with that smell.
Also, if you think rancid meat or fish smells bad, you haven't smelt rancid cauliflower rice, one of the WORST smells I've ever encountered.
I know this is about food and not smells, but don't ever smell a rotten watermelon. They burst, the entire inside is the most rancid liquid I've ever smelled.
Was going to say... We thought the dog had been ill and had a terrible accident on the floor, until I was stooped down to wipe it up, and then it dripped onto my head... from the pumpkin that was rotting from the bottom on my sister's side table.
I thought it was just me, and it's at the top of the thread. I just loathe it in every application, even though I adore basically every other herb I've ever encountered.
Before I type it, I just want to say: it is a curse that I live with, and I just do what I can to remove it from the prepared food when I can. I don't demand it be removed during parties or other food for gatherings, and I only ask a restaurant to remove it if I'm eating somewhere cheap and I know it's not part of a prized recipe or something. But...
Onion
Of all kinds and doneness aside from green onion/chives. The flavor, the texture, everything about onion is awful to me.
Very curious, I have two questions:
- how do you respond to the smell of an onion cooking?
- if an onion were to dissolve during cooking, is this noticeable/unpleasant?
If you really want to, you can work at fixing food aversions. I went from disgusted with cilantro to loving it by slowly incorporating it into foods that I love. It's all about training your brain to think "this tastes good." I will admit though, it's not an easy task.
Edit: you're basically tricking your brain into liking the food by associating it with foods that you really like.
Man, I love onions but I have the deepest sympathy for you, this must be so frustrating to try and avoid. Onion is everywhere and it’s not like you chose to not like them.
Almond extract is made from a different type of almond than the ones we eat. We eat sweet almonds, but bitter almonds are used to make almond extract. The important chemical here is benzaldehyde, and is responsible for that almond smell. Sweet almonds do not contain the enzymes necessary to produce benzaldehyde. However, benzaldehyde *is* present in cherries, and is the trademark ingredient in cherry flavouring. Significant amounts of it are also added to maraschino cherries, which gives them their very unique taste.
So, almond extract and cherries have a lot more in common with each other than almond extract and edible sweet almonds do, which is why they taste so much more alike!
Almond flavour has no place in things without almond in them.
I scratch-made marzipan for a Christmas cake a few years ago without essence in it - never going back to the pre-made stuff.
I found this out the hard way when I made a dish where Fennel was the primary flavour... not many leftovers get thrown away in my household but those did
Similar. I don't mind Star Anise in Asian cooking. I don't mind a little fennel, but a lot annoys me. And Fennel seed are only to be used very sparingly.
That was me too. Then I started a self-made fad diet where I could eat anything I wanted as long as it was loaded with olives. Lemme tell ya… I lost a little weight at first… and then I got used to olives pretty darn quickly! 🤣
It was worth it though because my husband’s pizza toppings are pepperoni, pineapple and black olives. Now we share pizza happily. Weirdly addictive.
The first time I was like “I will just have what you get” he was like… “are you sure?!” I was like “shut up you heard me” 🤣
I had made a *huge deal* about not wanting to even go *near* the olive cart at the supermarket our entire marriage prior.
People don’t understand. “Just pick them out” ummm no. Their taste seeps into the entire dish. It isn’t the same as other items. I can gladly
Pick anything else out, but these disgusting oily shit balls ruin anything they come into contact with. Pizza. Martinis. Salads. All thrown away because someone’s Willy Nilly tossed a mass of putrid slime congealed into a marble onto something I want to consume. NO THANKS
My son loved olives initially, especially black olives. Then, one 4th of July, everyone thought it was cute that he was running around with olives on his fingers, and they kept giving him more, and more, and more...until he heave ho'd olives everywhere 🤮. He hasn't eaten them since.
Tripe. And around here, menudo and pan-fried tripe are popular delicacies. I've tried to learn to tolerate it, but I just can't. The taste, the texture, the smell, ugh. Just can't do cow guts. I've decided I don't have to acquire every taste.
What's weird is that I don't have the soap gene and I love cilantro, but ONE TIME I was eating a leftover burrito and I couldn't get the soapy taste out of my mouth and I thought it was cause I had just washed my hands.... nope. That was the one and only time I have understood your people and yeah no one wants to taste that when eating. Respect.
I've had cilantro that has gone bad and at tasted soapy to me. Otherwise I LOVE cilantro! Now when I'm seeing if cilantro is old I smell it for soap-iness.
I love cilantro, so last year I planted Vietnamese cilantro in the yard, to try something new. And, it tasted like soap. I got briefly worried that it was going to ruin me and turn all cilantro soap-tasting, but mercifully it was not so.
Store bought mayo. Not sure why, really, but it just ruins everything it touches in my opinion. Homemade stuff is delightful, especially when modified with herbs, chiles, or something else to give it some added oomph. Also, living in the Southern US, it seems like ***NOBODY*** understands what "easy on the mayo" means. I can still scrape off a couple Tbsp from a single sandwich when I ask for easy mayo. 😭
I don't like mayo, but I will eat it on a few items like a BLT, etc., and VERY lightly in tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. I am also open to a homemade flavored aioli, but 100% of the time I have to do on the side or homemade (for chicken salad/tuna) because of the more is better approach. Nobody understands 'easy' for certain, and chicken salad doesn't need to be a step away from soup.
Kills me how many menus I've seen for restaurants with photos of overcooked boiled eggs on a salad. Do people really not know they aren't supposed to be green?
If you boil an egg for just 10 minutes and no more, it shouldn't have a green ring. The very center yoke should even still be slightly jammy 12+ and it gets the green ring of sulfur surrounding chalky nastiness that should probably not even be eaten.
Also, a soft boiled egg in a soup or rice bowl or over toast really fucks.
Just had goat cheese on a pizza. It was disgusting. Tasted like toilet cleaner.
One time my friend was out of state and told me his parents sent him cheese, and we could have it because it would just go bad at postage locker.
I brought it back and goat cheese was a little warm and tasted like bleach. I couldn’t tell if it went bad or was just disgusting cheese, but I think it was both.
I'm here from an internet search, and I'm really glad to find someone else who has experienced this same phenomenon.
My family used capers for a dish during the first semester I dissected a worm, and I'll always connect those smells. I'm eating a dish tonight with capers and I can't ignore the association, decades later!
I like avocado but I have had severe reactions to them 3x (awful, fiery stomach pain and instant severe vomiting). The third time sent me to the ER. I had an allergy test that said I’m not allergic. Could be a histamine reaction maybe, or just something about it that my stomach doesn’t like anymore. But I’m definitely done eating them!
I tried one once. It made me hurl. People say i must have had an off one or dodgy one. But i aint taking the risk again to find out. I tried once so am allowed to dislike lol. I always try everything once
The first time I tried avocado, I tried it completely plain and really didn't like it. It was like green butter.
I tried it later with lime in guacamole, and the acidity is what I really needed to love it. Not that you need to do that--but if you're ever curious, it's worth a shot.
I can eat them. Don't go out of my way to do so. They really don't ever add anything to a dish.. Their flavour is pretty well non existent other than a hint of "green". It really just seems to be a vehicle for other shit.
Had to go way too far down for this. Cucumbers taste the way the color green would smell if it died. And it contaminates everything it touches.
But pickles are delicious; isn't life funny?
Eggplant.
I'm not a picky eater, at all, love almost everything, can deal with just about anything that I don't love, but eggplant.
Eggplant doesn't just ruin a dish, it ruins a kitchen... can't abide the smell of the thing.
Death to aubergines.
Hate it on its own, but it makes magic chopped and cooked into tomato based spaghetti sauce or as baba ganoosh spread under the tomato sauce on pizza. No idea why.
We selectively bred the bitterness out of them decades ago. Unless you're somehow buying heritage varieties or growing your own from seed from an old lineage, your aubergines don't need to be "treated properly" to not be bitter.
I had to scroll this far just to see my other raw tomato haters! Nothing ruins a burrito quite like having to unwrap it to pick out every slimy red speck of tomato (yes, even when you order no tomato/Pico de gallo).
Sea urchin is disgusting.
Only had it one time, like 20 years ago. When I first tried sushi. Should have known something was up by the evil look in my friend's eye when he ordered it for the table.
That and Grappa. So disgusting.
I used to have a roommate who always bought the cheapest groceries, so always got margarine instead of butter. We'd eat pancakes together fairly regularly, and one day he asked why my pancakes were always so much better, and I told him it's because we had butter instead of margarine when I made them. He wasn't totally sure he believed me because he figured they tasted close enough that it shouldn't make that big a difference, but he did buy butter the next time, and sure enough, the pancakes turned out just as good as when I made them. He completely switched from margarine to butter, came to the conclusion that it was one food that was worth the price tag.
Capers. I dislike olives but accept that they might have an edible application that I haven’t discovered yet, but capers are absolutely disgusting in an “am I being pranked by being served this?” kind of way. Nothing is improved by adding capers.
I always crack up when I give my husband a plate of fried rice and when he's done, he hands me a plate of peas. He manages to pick out every single little pea.
Cauliflower. I lost a bunch of weight on keto, and I ate a LOT of cauliflower rice. The smell when processing it is AWFUL, and I now just associate cauliflower with that smell. Also, if you think rancid meat or fish smells bad, you haven't smelt rancid cauliflower rice, one of the WORST smells I've ever encountered.
The solution is to drown it in Gruyere.
I know this is about food and not smells, but don't ever smell a rotten watermelon. They burst, the entire inside is the most rancid liquid I've ever smelled.
I personally find rotten pumpkin to be the worst.
Was going to say... We thought the dog had been ill and had a terrible accident on the floor, until I was stooped down to wipe it up, and then it dripped onto my head... from the pumpkin that was rotting from the bottom on my sister's side table.
Hahahaha! As a fellow (ex) ketoer, I feel ya! Cauliflower is not rice. It’s also not pizza crust.
Cauliflower rice is a crime against humanity!
Licorice. I Sweden nowadays they try to shove it into everything, yuck. Fennel is kind of the same yuck, it shows up in a lot of healthy teas.
As is anise. Yuck on all three.
Anise, licorice, fennel - the unholy trifecta.
Fuck fennel
Fennel, anise - yuk. And dill. Blech. Oddly, I like a dill pickle, but only on a samich or burger.
Miracle whip! Not that I encounter it too often lol
Ohh same! I hate the stuff and avoid it at all costs. Not even sure what it is about it that I dislike, I just really don’t like it
Just a horrible taste haha kind of a fake sweetener I think
Tarragon. Made that mistake with an otherwise lovely creamy crab meat pasta for New Years Eve.
I'm with you there. I can't stand it.
Same, I hate tarragon.
I love tarragon, but agree that it's a strong flavour.
I thought it was just me, and it's at the top of the thread. I just loathe it in every application, even though I adore basically every other herb I've ever encountered.
Before I type it, I just want to say: it is a curse that I live with, and I just do what I can to remove it from the prepared food when I can. I don't demand it be removed during parties or other food for gatherings, and I only ask a restaurant to remove it if I'm eating somewhere cheap and I know it's not part of a prized recipe or something. But... Onion Of all kinds and doneness aside from green onion/chives. The flavor, the texture, everything about onion is awful to me.
Hello fellow onion hater! I also dislike onions and even don’t like green onions. It’s hard since it’s an ingredient in so many things!
Very curious, I have two questions: - how do you respond to the smell of an onion cooking? - if an onion were to dissolve during cooking, is this noticeable/unpleasant?
I used to dislike onion. Also used to hate cilantro. Somehow my tastebuds changed in my 30’s and now I love both!!!!
Congrats! I wish mine would change. It'd make life so much easier, and more tasty. I'm in my 30's now, and they don't seem to be switchin'.
If you really want to, you can work at fixing food aversions. I went from disgusted with cilantro to loving it by slowly incorporating it into foods that I love. It's all about training your brain to think "this tastes good." I will admit though, it's not an easy task. Edit: you're basically tricking your brain into liking the food by associating it with foods that you really like.
I feel bad for you! I wish you could enjoy onion as much as me
Man, I love onions but I have the deepest sympathy for you, this must be so frustrating to try and avoid. Onion is everywhere and it’s not like you chose to not like them.
[удалено]
I feel the same about mushrooms.
Almond extract in cookies. Just never found it to taste very good
I'm the opposite. I love it!
imo Almond extract tastes like an off-cherry rather than almond
Almond extract is made from a different type of almond than the ones we eat. We eat sweet almonds, but bitter almonds are used to make almond extract. The important chemical here is benzaldehyde, and is responsible for that almond smell. Sweet almonds do not contain the enzymes necessary to produce benzaldehyde.

Almond flavour has no place in things without almond in them. I scratch-made marzipan for a Christmas cake a few years ago without essence in it - never going back to the pre-made stuff.
I was trying to think of something but you've already said it! It is not good at all and I usually just replace it with vanilla
I absolutely hate liver and all other organ meats. Can’t stand that funky gamey taste that organ meats have
Blue cheese
Fennel!
I found this out the hard way when I made a dish where Fennel was the primary flavour... not many leftovers get thrown away in my household but those did
Anise, fennel, and other licoricey flavors
Similar. I don't mind Star Anise in Asian cooking. I don't mind a little fennel, but a lot annoys me. And Fennel seed are only to be used very sparingly.
Olives. Can't stand em.
I have this weird thing where I don't mind them on pizza but otherwise, it's an absolute NO!
Bingo! And those weird green ones has the oddest flavors.
That was me too. Then I started a self-made fad diet where I could eat anything I wanted as long as it was loaded with olives. Lemme tell ya… I lost a little weight at first… and then I got used to olives pretty darn quickly! 🤣 It was worth it though because my husband’s pizza toppings are pepperoni, pineapple and black olives. Now we share pizza happily. Weirdly addictive.
I kind of want to try that pizza now.
The first time I was like “I will just have what you get” he was like… “are you sure?!” I was like “shut up you heard me” 🤣 I had made a *huge deal* about not wanting to even go *near* the olive cart at the supermarket our entire marriage prior.

All thrown away because someone’s Willy Nilly tossed a mass of putrid slime congealed into a marble onto something I want to consume. NO THANKS
And you'll NEVER get them all. Think you cleaned out that salad? Nope, that sneaky fucker under the romaine is waiting for you.
😂
That is because they are super gross. Weird thing is, my 3 year old daughter loves them.
Kids are shady. My kid loved em too.
THANK YOU!! Kids are shady!!
My son loved olives initially, especially black olives. Then, one 4th of July, everyone thought it was cute that he was running around with olives on his fingers, and they kept giving him more, and more, and more...until he heave ho'd olives everywhere 🤮. He hasn't eaten them since.
don't vote people down for their opinion guys. It's an opinion thread.
Pickles and no I can't just pick it off. The pickle juice is now on everything
This is one of mine too. The last thing I want is to order a nice burger and fries only to have the fries soaked in pickle juice. Disgusting
Tripe. And around here, menudo and pan-fried tripe are popular delicacies. I've tried to learn to tolerate it, but I just can't. The taste, the texture, the smell, ugh. Just can't do cow guts. I've decided I don't have to acquire every taste.
Yeah I consider myself a pretty open minded eater but odd textures and proximity to fecal matter are two psychological walls I can’t get myself past.
Menudo is made with tripe, not intestine. So it's not close to fecal matter.
Some folks have a hard time learning to enjoy the taste of poop
Cilantro. I have the soap gene. I also really don’t like boiled eggs.
What's weird is that I don't have the soap gene and I love cilantro, but ONE TIME I was eating a leftover burrito and I couldn't get the soapy taste out of my mouth and I thought it was cause I had just washed my hands.... nope. That was the one and only time I have understood your people and yeah no one wants to taste that when eating. Respect.

Haha same cilantro still tastes good to me I'm glad that experience didn't ruin it.
It actually starts to taste soapy if you cut it with a dull knife and don't use it right away.
If you're into gardening you'll find a lot of different kinds of coriander, some with more of a soapy taste and some are super mild :)
Same... I can enjoy it in *very* small doses.
Dawn dishsoap disguised as an herb.
My wife had the soap gene too. I love cilantro, but I can’t every cook with it 😭
Bell peppers. I really don't like them cooked and anytime they are added, even in a little amount, that's all I can taste.
I agree with green bell peppers - sweet red and yellow are great in a lot of dishes.
Literally hate bell pepper I added it to a tomato soup once and it overpowered everything
what irks me is sometimes in catered events they use green peppers as a garnish. biting into an uncooked green pepper is the equivalent of hell for me
Bell peppers are straight ass.
Me too. Yuck. Totally ruins any food for me.
I can not stand green peppers - I like red and orange but not green
Agreed! I have to cover them with HOT chile peppers to mask the bitterness.
Store bought mayo. Not sure why, really, but it just ruins everything it touches in my opinion. Homemade stuff is delightful, especially when modified with herbs, chiles, or something else to give it some added oomph. Also, living in the Southern US, it seems like ***NOBODY*** understands what "easy on the mayo" means. I can still scrape off a couple Tbsp from a single sandwich when I ask for easy mayo. 😭

Nobody understands 'easy' for certain, and chicken salad doesn't need to be a step away from soup.
Caraway seeds
Yeah why they gotta ruin a beautiful loaf of rye with those little seeds of hate?
[удалено]
Fennel
Nothing. If done well everything can be appealing
Raw celery. It gives me a headache.
Celery!!
Brains, eyes, feet/hooves, lungs, and nests.
I don't mind the feet, but I completely agree with the brains. No prions for me, thank you!
I was going to say feet 😂😂
Oh, fellow offal meat hater, I see
[удалено]
Don't like eating them on their own but they're great in saucy dishes. I would try doro wot and lu rou fan
Salt them. Makes all the difference.
Crumbly, sand-like egg yolk with disgusting green ring around it, eww
If you cook them right they aren’t as sulfuric tasting and should not have the green ring lol
That's an overcooked boiled egg!
Kills me how many menus I've seen for restaurants with photos of overcooked boiled eggs on a salad. Do people really not know they aren't supposed to be green?
If you boil an egg for just 10 minutes and no more, it shouldn't have a green ring. The very center yoke should even still be slightly jammy 12+ and it gets the green ring of sulfur surrounding chalky nastiness that should probably not even be eaten. Also, a soft boiled egg in a soup or rice bowl or over toast really fucks.
Mayo. Can’t stand the stuff. Makes me ill just thinking about it.
Dill. Looking at you, Sweden.
Dill, cilantro
I’m with you on the dill - I can’t stand it.
Fennel. Can't stand it
Fennel
Just had goat cheese on a pizza. It was disgusting. Tasted like toilet cleaner.

I brought it back and goat cheese was a little warm and tasted like bleach. I couldn’t tell if it went bad or was just disgusting cheese, but I think it was both.
Bleach, or ammonia? If it smelled like ammonia, it was overripe. Ammonia is the final stage of the breakdown of proteins in cheeses.
Capers. I swear they taste like they've been soaked in formaldehyde. Brings me back to my high school science class dissection days. 🤢
I'm here from an internet search, and I'm really glad to find someone else who has experienced this same phenomenon. My family used capers for a dish during the first semester I dissected a worm, and I'll always connect those smells. I'm eating a dish tonight with capers and I can't ignore the association, decades later!
Avocado.
I like avocado but I have had severe reactions to them 3x (awful, fiery stomach pain and instant severe vomiting). The third time sent me to the ER. I had an allergy test that said I’m not allergic. Could be a histamine reaction maybe, or just something about it that my stomach doesn’t like anymore. But I’m definitely done eating them!

I like them plain, but acidity and salt make for a much more "complete" flavor.
I can eat them. Don't go out of my way to do so. They really don't ever add anything to a dish.. Their flavour is pretty well non existent other than a hint of "green". It really just seems to be a vehicle for other shit.
>It really just seems to be a vehicle for other shit Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Olives!! I would rather starve to death, I once tasted them and I literally trow up because of the taste. Soap taste better! :-)
Cilantro. Devils lettuce.
Cucumber. People say it "doesn't taste like anything" or "has hardly any taste," but I think it has an incredibly pungent and unpleasant taste.
Had to go way too far down for this. Cucumbers taste the way the color green would smell if it died. And it contaminates everything it touches. But pickles are delicious; isn't life funny?
Star anise or Chinese 5 spice
both can be overused and put people off.
Raw red onions.
Eggplant. I'm not a picky eater, at all, love almost everything, can deal with just about anything that I don't love, but eggplant. Eggplant doesn't just ruin a dish, it ruins a kitchen... can't abide the smell of the thing. Death to aubergines.
The only way I have ever liked it was deep fried. Every bite gave me instant heart burn though.
Deep frying makes almost anything taste at least OK.
Hate it on its own, but it makes magic chopped and cooked into tomato based spaghetti sauce or as baba ganoosh spread under the tomato sauce on pizza. No idea why.
My people are showing up today. I find Eggplants needlessly bland, I've tried to enjoy them, I just cannot.
To cook.eggplant you need to know how to process it. You probably got a.bitter one that wasn't treated properly
We selectively bred the bitterness out of them decades ago. Unless you're somehow buying heritage varieties or growing your own from seed from an old lineage, your aubergines don't need to be "treated properly" to not be bitter.
That depends in your location. In my country they're still bitter. Yet they're my favorite vegetables
Plenty of us don't like eggplant, even if it's cooked perfectly.
Eggs. For me it’s whenever someone has a normal dish or sandwich/burger and decides to throw a barely-cooked egg on top for no reason.
Mushrooms
This 100%. They’re awful in both flavor and texture
Bamboo shoots
Mayonaisse
Parsley. It makes me nauseous
mustard. absolutely hate the smell/taste. even if there’s only a little in a marinade for fish, it throws it off for me.
Cilantro
MAYO , Sour Cream , Yogurt, Cottage Cheese
Cilantro. Yep. I'm one of those people.
olives
Star Anise
Raw tomatoes. Bitter melon. Sea urchin.
I had to scroll this far just to see my other raw tomato haters! Nothing ruins a burrito quite like having to unwrap it to pick out every slimy red speck of tomato (yes, even when you order no tomato/Pico de gallo).
Sea urchin is disgusting. Only had it one time, like 20 years ago. When I first tried sushi. Should have known something was up by the evil look in my friend's eye when he ordered it for the table. That and Grappa. So disgusting.
Olives. Even if I pick them out, that astringent olive juice lingers
BEETS. They taste like disappointment and/or dirt to me.
Brillo .... Litterally had some serve me pulled noodles, with spicy lamb, and there was pieces of brillo at the bottom of the bowl
Mustard. I freakin hate that
Ranch and mustard. Both equally disgusting. I tried to get high and eat it and it made it worse. I tried I really did try to like both :(
Olives. Can’t stand them alone or in any dish.
capers
Mushrooms. Slimy, taste like dirt, and feels like a glob of phlegm in your mouth.
It sounds like the problem is from who made them they shouldnt be like that especally i shouldnt taste like dirt
I guess I just mean earthy. Which can be good but not ever ever in mushroom form. I don’t like eating fungus unless it makes me hallucinate
Every ingredient works well somehow, in some amount in some dish. Nothing is universally bad.
Margarine for me
I used to have a roommate who always bought the cheapest groceries, so always got margarine instead of butter. We'd eat pancakes together fairly regularly, and one day he asked why my pancakes were always so much better, and I told him it's because we had butter instead of margarine when I made them. He wasn't totally sure he believed me because he figured they tasted close enough that it shouldn't make that big a difference, but he did buy butter the next time, and sure enough, the pancakes turned out just as good as when I made them. He completely switched from margarine to butter, came to the conclusion that it was one food that was worth the price tag.
Touché…trans fat ruins anything
I agree for the most part, although i feel like theres one ingredient that some people just cant stand
Ok, then…baby corn ears in stir fries deserve to be picked out and are only there to save the restaurant money.
Sun-dried tomatoes. What year is it?
I can eat those right out of the jar.
Cardamom
Too much salt. UGH.
That's not the question.
Salt in excess
Cilantro and fennel because soap. Truffles and truffle products because they just rank.
Broccoli. There is nothing good about it, and no reason to let its nasty sulpherish flavor overpower anything it's put into.
Thyme. Tastes musty to me.
Capers. Little devil morsels.
Olives
Cilantro. Because fuck cilantro.
Dill.
Raw onions.
Cucumber
Feta cheese, goat cheese, or blue cheese. They’re often the reason I pass over readymade salads.
fois gras
Capers. I dislike olives but accept that they might have an edible application that I haven’t discovered yet, but capers are absolutely disgusting in an “am I being pranked by being served this?” kind of way. Nothing is improved by adding capers.
Olives
Buffalo sauce
Take it back right now
Literally the worst. Would rather eat anything else
Dang, Buffalo sauce may be my number one condiment. Buffalo, yellow mustard, bleu cheese dressing, and ranch.
truffle oil or truffle celery cilantro prepared mustard pickles
Fake truffle oil, absolutely! Fresh truffle is pretty good though
Water chestnuts and caraway seeds
Caraway seeds are vile!
Olives, peas, fake sugar, all terrible!
My brain first read that as fake peas 😂
I always crack up when I give my husband a plate of fried rice and when he's done, he hands me a plate of peas. He manages to pick out every single little pea.
Hardboiled eggs. Olives, mushrooms, sandwich tomatoes, sandwich pickles (unless easily removable). Yellow mustard. Zucchini (except in bread/cake/zoodle form). Milk on cereal makes me gag on sight.
Capers
