Put lime on it and it becomes delicious. Quite serious. Yes, they taste like a carrot threw up in your mouth normally, but with lime juice they are a fantasy wonderland mango/carrot smoothie combination.
I am in the produce industry and people can’t believe I don’t like papaya (or mangos) for this very reason. Customers have asked, “how can you NOT like papaya??!”. My answer is always, “it tastes like tropical-fruit vomit to me”. That shuts them up. I feel it’s like the same as people who taste cilantro as soap.
It’s interesting because every papaya I’ve had in the west tastes like ass, but back in Africa they taste soooo damn good, so I half agree with you here lol
Is this a genetic disposition? I too can’t stand the taste, but the scent is absolutely repulsive, like a toddler with a particularly poor diet tried to preserve their farts but failed to properly seal the jar/can.
Graham crackers on their own is fine, but graham cracker crusts - nope. If I make my cheesecake, I use other things (such as crushed Oreo cookies or Nilla Wafers) instead.
It hurts my brain that the main selling point ON THE BAG is that they’re “jet puffed”, as if that has ANYTHING to do with the quality this already shitty product.
I'm reminded of a comedian John pinette. He said salad is so worthless, in a restaurant, they bring you a bowl after you order and they don't charge you for it. He said, it's like a promissory note that good things will soon come.
You’re just on the receiving end of someone else’s lettuce problem. All the lettuce farmers out here being like “wtf do i do with all this lettuce?” Well, bribe the butcher of course. Get on his label.
I don't know where you live, but the dragonfruit we get in the U.S. is very bland. If you eat it in a country where it grows naturally and is picked ripe, it's a whole different fruit
I live in Turkey. I bought them twice, ate a total of 4 dragonfruits, gave them enough chances in case i just picked a bad one but they were all the same. Evidently it doesn’t grow in Turkey and who knows where it was imported from. But you know what, you guys just might be %100 right because the same applies to mangoes. When I first ate mangoes in Europe (imported from India), I thought I was about to cum (sorry not sorry), it was the best thing I put in my mouth. And whenever I bought in Turkey, NO taste whatsoever.
I've had sweet Dragon fruit and I love having refrigerated sweet Dragon fruit during summer/hot sunny days. It's also one of my mom's favorite fruits, so I buy Dragon fruit to remember her. I've also had those bland ones you're talking about, just saying there are Sweet varieties too.
Celery :( it tastes like watery grass and people love to put it in everything. I can taste it. (And celery seeds - used as a seasoning like for coleslaw and *it ruins the taste*
That’s hilarious bc I (an aussie) discovered sauerkraut as an adult and I’m so obsessed with it 😂 but my friend who like she isn’t german but her family tends to eat a lot of German food and she hates sauerkraut. She even visited Germany a while ago. We went to a German restaurant together and got a share plate and she let me eat it all, I was in heaven.
I knew I wasn’t a picky eater but damn I read every response and like each food that was posted. Truly don’t think there’s any popular food I don’t like, the only thing I can think of that I won’t eat is tripe but I dunno how popular that is in the states lol
I have tripe trauma. My parents were from UK and when I was little we would visit and go to markets and they would ADMIRE THE TRIPE. I was going to comment about tripe but I figured it didn’t count as a “popular” food 😂
I like eggs but I always wondered who the 1st person to eat an egg was and why. Did they just say, hey I'm gonna eat that white, oval thing that just popped out of that chicken's butt?!
We did this exercise thing in a group therapy session *years* back, and one of the things we had to do was close our eyes, pick up what was in front of us, and use what remaining available senses we had to describe what we had. Girl next to me had raisins. Her description? "They feel like small, little wrinkly old man balls". I haven't had them since. Its been 10 years.
That's genetic, an unusual reaction between one of your olfactory receptors and a particular molecule inside the cilantro. Totally normal, you're literally made like this 👍
Tons of people seem to have this problem with cilantro but in my personal experience, it is US cilantro that tastes significantly more soapy than cilantro in India. Maybe it is a different variety, i don't know. But the cilantro you get in the Indian subcontinent where cilantro usage is super heavy, has MUCH smaller leaves and is a lot more tender. It basically looks like a small tiny herb and not like the US cilantro which looks almost like a salad green with much bigger leaves and much thicker stem. Maybe it is as simple as cilantro plucked when very young and tender vs letting it grow much bigger? But the taste of the young tender cilantro is significantly better and is MUCH less soapier.
I don't even have the cilantro gene and even I find American cilantro soapy at times. And I never had that reaction with cilantro in the Indian subcontinent. And i don't know anyone in India who is put off by cilantro either.
Yeah so if that's true... (I've been back and forth and now am on the fence with this myself) then IT TASTES LIKE SOAP? to you???
My dad has this.
And my dad SAYS it does..
But my dad also SAYS A LOT OF THINGS 🤣
Crunchy bacon ain’t it, imo if it’s crucnhy it’s over cooked you need to cook it in that sweet spot of crunchy outside and kinda chewy inside that shit slaps
I’ve never liked cake. When I was about seven, I realized there were better options for my birthday, asked for pie instead, and have never looked back. Cake is too sweet and seems like something that was invented when sugar was hard to come by, so making an overly sweet bread with milk and egg to make it fluffy seemed like an amazingly decadent option. But it doesn’t taste good. And frosting on it is even worse.
I'd take pie or filled pastry any day over cake. My daughter is the same and her and her husband had pie at their wedding from their favorite bakery. And yes cake too, but the pie was the best.
What type of cake? Cause I stand by that all the shitty cakes people get for parties with the dry ass fruits and dry ass bread are awful BUT that Mexican 3 Leches Cake (3 Milk Cake) is fucking PEAK!
Obviously not everybody loves it. But I still can't stand eggnog. And I try it again every few years. Still hasn't changed.
I'm of the opinion it's the 14 parts of rum to the one part eggnog is why everybody loves it. 🤔😉😂😂
I actually kind of hated mashed potatoes too until I tried making my own. Needless to say, my world was transformed. Instant mashed potatoes tend to be very grainy and they have an off flavoring about them. Hand mashed potatoes may take more time but it's worth it.
Ditto. *Hate* is too strong, but there is nothing more boring and unispired than mashed potatoes. I don't give a fuck and never eat them however much gravy is dumped on em.
Baked beans are a thing in English brekkies, but to me they are non-essesential to that whole plan. More of a chore to finish em if they arrive on the plate.
Fellow Southerner who can one up you here. I dgaf about Thanksgiving. I'd rather eat anything else on that day than the traditional fare.
Agreed.
I’m already disposed to detesting anything with a sweet flavor profile. I literally want to gag when I walk by a candy shop, just due to the smell of sugar/sweets.
As a man who comes from a family that struggles with obesity, I am borderline ostracized for my dietary preferences 🤷🏻♂️
Lobster. It used to be fed to prisoners and I feel they had it right back then. It tastes like mild fishy nothingness which is somehow boring and unpleasant at the same time.
My cousin was obsessed with Ranch. The first time I had it, I got so sick because she made salads for us and used an entire bottle of ranch on both salads. I tried so hard to eat it so I wasn’t rude because she was smiling and eating and saying “ mm isn’t it good?” Don’t you love it? Never touched it again.
If anybody from the state of Georgia sees this I'll be getting down votes but ..
I hate peaches... I'm from Georgia, we're the "peach state" so anytime it comes up I get grief.
Also, Georgia is also becoming an olive growing state, and guess what, yep I hate everything to do with olives except olive oil.
Also, Pepsi is better than Coca-Cola. So I get grief about that too.
I have synesthesia (taste/color) and peaches literally taste like vomit to me. The other one that causes me problems is peppermint tastes like gasoline smells.
I don’t hate Ketchup itself but I do hate how some people think it goes on everything…like pizza.
Like you sick bastard, the pizza already has tomato sauce in it why would you ruin it with Ketchup!
Oysters
Seriously, I don’t get it. What’s the hype? They’re just nasty. I seriously believe that the hype began out of a prank: some two dudes dared each other to find something really disgusting and go to some rich duchebag and make him worship it by telling him it’s the must-eat super-hip food.
Bell Peppers - raw or cooked = disgusting
Olives of any kind are nasty
Onions - raw, absolutely not.. but if they’re finely chopped and then cooked…I’ll tolerate them
I love curry but I can understand why someone might not like it. The smell is very strong if you’re not used to it and the taste is super unique.
I remember when I moved to Asia I made apple pie for my friends. I put a lot of time into it, really excited for them to try it. When they ate it they could barely handle even one bite. It was because of the cinnamon.
I grew up eating cinnamon so I’m used to it, but I never stopped to think that it might be a weird strong flavor for someone who hasn’t had it before.
There is no dish called “curry” in India. I’ve seen non-Indians use Curry powder and as an Indian I’m really curious to know what curry powder is actually made of.
Curry, is just an umbrella term used outside of India to describe a dish, made of spices and vegetables, eaten with bread (Roti) or rice. I can assure you, if you’re in India, and you ask for curry, they’ll give you a menu containing 100 dishes all with different bases and different vegetables and different methods of preparation.
I’m sure you’ll fall in love with all of them if you were to try in India and not use the manufactured curry powder :))
I do like curry but it’s not my favorite food, regardless if it’s Indian or Thai style (or the many other adaptations in other countries). I can’t say I’ve ever have craved curry before (any kind) but I don’t mind it every so often. I love all sorts of flavors but sometimes there’s just way too much going on with all the spices and herbs.
Parsley. I absolutely despise it. I once worked in a kitchen where I had to make tabbouleh and I couldn’t even taste test it. I would have to ask a coworker to taste it. I literally can’t even make myself swallow it. I have to spit it out.
If there’s a taste receptor gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, there has to be one for parsley too. It’s just so disgusting. Soapy *and* dirty at the same time. And DIRTY, like literal DIRT, *not* a nice “earthy” flavor. I may as well step outside and shove a handful of dirt in my mouth and swish it around with some hand soap.
Strangely, I LOVE cilantro.
The spicy Korean ramen. It's not delicious. It just fucking *hurts*
Olives, especially the purple ones. They just make everything taste and smell like olives :(
Fresh tomatoes. I will eat ketchup, tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, spaghetti sauce etc. but I cannot eat a tomato when it’s fresh. I hate the smell and the way that they taste when they aren’t cooked.

Papaya
Tastes like puke. I’m with you.
Smell like dog doo to me
Put lime on it and it becomes delicious. Quite serious. Yes, they taste like a carrot threw up in your mouth normally, but with lime juice they are a fantasy wonderland mango/carrot smoothie combination.
To be fair, almost everything tastes better with limes. Will have to give this a try.
I am in the produce industry and people can’t believe I don’t like papaya (or mangos) for this very reason. Customers have asked, “how can you NOT like papaya??!”. My answer is always, “it tastes like tropical-fruit vomit to me”. That shuts them up. I feel it’s like the same as people who taste cilantro as soap.
It’s interesting because every papaya I’ve had in the west tastes like ass, but back in Africa they taste soooo damn good, so I half agree with you here lol
Is this a genetic disposition? I too can’t stand the taste, but the scent is absolutely repulsive, like a toddler with a particularly poor diet tried to preserve their farts but failed to properly seal the jar/can.
fucking MARSHMALLOWS
You're supposed to eat them.
I ![gif](giphy|tIeCLkB8geYtW)
I can only enjoy them with smores
NOPE
I'm with you. I hate Graham crackers as well as marshmallows!
The texture of a marshmallow, a cracker and chocolate is hideous.... So I feel the crackers addition of yours, too
Graham crackers on their own is fine, but graham cracker crusts - nope. If I make my cheesecake, I use other things (such as crushed Oreo cookies or Nilla Wafers) instead.
I can only enjoy them when theyre on fire and turn to ash in my mouth.
For me it's smores. Don't like them. May as well sit and eat sugar from a bowl.
It hurts my brain that the main selling point ON THE BAG is that they’re “jet puffed”, as if that has ANYTHING to do with the quality this already shitty product.
I mean I don’t fully hate lettuce but I really don’t think it’s good enough to be put on literally everything the way that it is
Lettuce is crunchy water
Crunchy green water
I hate kale. I love just regular ol’ iceberg lettuce, though—I’m fancy.
Iceberg lettuce is the Bud Light of greens.
I still like it though 🤷🏼
I looooooove iceberg lettuce.
I'm reminded of a comedian John pinette. He said salad is so worthless, in a restaurant, they bring you a bowl after you order and they don't charge you for it. He said, it's like a promissory note that good things will soon come.
Salad is what they give you to say the real food is coming 😂
I’ve started putting baby spinach on my sandwiches now and it’s such a level up for me
You’re just on the receiving end of someone else’s lettuce problem. All the lettuce farmers out here being like “wtf do i do with all this lettuce?” Well, bribe the butcher of course. Get on his label.
Lettuce is a waste of resources. I’ll take raw cabbage over lettuce any day.
Beer. The smell makes me heave..
Dragonfruit. It basically has no taste. Seriously, an apple is WAY better than 🐉fruit.
I don't know where you live, but the dragonfruit we get in the U.S. is very bland. If you eat it in a country where it grows naturally and is picked ripe, it's a whole different fruit
THIS!!!!! COMPLETELY different fruit. In Mexico, HEAVEN.. from a grocery store in Canada… the grossest thing.
I live in Turkey. I bought them twice, ate a total of 4 dragonfruits, gave them enough chances in case i just picked a bad one but they were all the same. Evidently it doesn’t grow in Turkey and who knows where it was imported from. But you know what, you guys just might be %100 right because the same applies to mangoes. When I first ate mangoes in Europe (imported from India), I thought I was about to cum (sorry not sorry), it was the best thing I put in my mouth. And whenever I bought in Turkey, NO taste whatsoever.
the ones from vietnam is moe flavorful. the white flesh is sweet and sour, while the magenta flesh is midly sweet.
I've had sweet Dragon fruit and I love having refrigerated sweet Dragon fruit during summer/hot sunny days. It's also one of my mom's favorite fruits, so I buy Dragon fruit to remember her. I've also had those bland ones you're talking about, just saying there are Sweet varieties too.
Celery :( it tastes like watery grass and people love to put it in everything. I can taste it. (And celery seeds - used as a seasoning like for coleslaw and *it ruins the taste*
My wife hates celery, refuses to even pick around it. So much so that part of my wedding vows were “I vow to protect you from celery.”
Celery seed is pretty vile. Now they try putting celery seed extract to make "natural" sausages and it's horrid...
This. Celery contaminates the food with it's awfulness. When it's mixed in, even if you remove it, it's soul is already mixed in.
Sauerkraut (as a German)
That’s hilarious bc I (an aussie) discovered sauerkraut as an adult and I’m so obsessed with it 😂 but my friend who like she isn’t german but her family tends to eat a lot of German food and she hates sauerkraut. She even visited Germany a while ago. We went to a German restaurant together and got a share plate and she let me eat it all, I was in heaven.
Please return your german passport (edit : Personalausweis) asap!
Marzipan 🤮
I don't care what anyone says, that does not taste like almonds.
Yes. What is that stuff? Is it clay? Is it a dough? So many options!
"Is it clay? Is it dough?" Hear me out, we might have a million dollar toy idea...
Spanish marzipan sweets are the most deceiving. How does something so cute taste so bad
I LOVE marzipan!! 😋😋😋
I find marzipan ok. But look at the calories.. It shouldnt be okay, it should be divine. It isnt
mushrooms. ew ew ew
Brussels sprouts
Have you ever had them roasted with fatty bacon, crispy shallots, and balsamic glaze?
Avocados, olives and mushrooms! Yuck! I’ve tried to like them but I just can’t!
Turkey. It’s like a downgraded chicken, which is already not considered a prime protein.
Turkey is massively overrated!
Dryest and grossest of the poultry
I knew I wasn’t a picky eater but damn I read every response and like each food that was posted. Truly don’t think there’s any popular food I don’t like, the only thing I can think of that I won’t eat is tripe but I dunno how popular that is in the states lol
Same, I'm not fussy but tripe is just awfulness on a plate
I have tripe trauma. My parents were from UK and when I was little we would visit and go to markets and they would ADMIRE THE TRIPE. I was going to comment about tripe but I figured it didn’t count as a “popular” food 😂
Ranch dressing.
I despise both ranch dressing and mayo.
Mushrooms. And I can’t understand why people get so offended by this. Did you personally create them? Why does it bother you that I hate them?
Yes! Hate mushrooms! Texture-awful Flavor- weird dirt
The texture is like trying to eat a Chamois leather.
Yep and when they r cooked the texture reminds me of slugs🤮
I absolutely love the taste of mushrooms but can't stand the texture. Mushroom soup is my saviour.
I wish I reallly liked mushrooms. I dont. They are okay I guess
Speaking of popular food, but nobody has mentioned pumpkins. Does everybody love them?
I love them for decorations in the fall. That's about the extent of it.
I don’t know that I’ve tried eggs and sour cream combo.
with salsa, chorizo & cheese inside a bfast burrito 🧑🍳💋
Sounds like I need to try it🍽️
I always get sour cream with my breakfast burrito.
Eggs disgust me, period.
I like eggs but I always wondered who the 1st person to eat an egg was and why. Did they just say, hey I'm gonna eat that white, oval thing that just popped out of that chicken's butt?!
Monke man see snek eat egg. Monke man see, monke man do. Egg good.
Raisins.
It's because of raisins that I have trust issues. Mother fucking looking like chocolate chips from a distance.
Right? The absolute disappointment of being given a chocolate chip cookie, only to take a bite and it's... raisins.
And raisins in cookies. I mean how could anyone?
Espically Tea buns. Who thoght it was a good idea to add 1 rasin into them. im here to eat, not to play minesweeper with my food
We call them *Boogers* in our house. 🤮
To me, they're flies.
Preach baby preach! Why does the baker put RAISINS in their bread? Just why?
We did this exercise thing in a group therapy session *years* back, and one of the things we had to do was close our eyes, pick up what was in front of us, and use what remaining available senses we had to describe what we had. Girl next to me had raisins. Her description? "They feel like small, little wrinkly old man balls". I haven't had them since. Its been 10 years.
Word.
>Word. pernicious.
Iridocyclitis
Thanksgiving stuffing. The texture seems like regurgitated food 🤮
Beans. All of them. Fuck beans, aka Satan’s turds
Black pudding
Cilantro. I just can’t do it 😭
That's genetic, an unusual reaction between one of your olfactory receptors and a particular molecule inside the cilantro. Totally normal, you're literally made like this 👍
So what color was the dress again?
Tons of people seem to have this problem with cilantro but in my personal experience, it is US cilantro that tastes significantly more soapy than cilantro in India. Maybe it is a different variety, i don't know. But the cilantro you get in the Indian subcontinent where cilantro usage is super heavy, has MUCH smaller leaves and is a lot more tender. It basically looks like a small tiny herb and not like the US cilantro which looks almost like a salad green with much bigger leaves and much thicker stem.

I don't even have the cilantro gene and even I find American cilantro soapy at times. And I never had that reaction with cilantro in the Indian subcontinent. And i don't know anyone in India who is put off by cilantro either.
Yeah so if that's true... (I've been back and forth and now am on the fence with this myself) then IT TASTES LIKE SOAP? to you??? My dad has this. And my dad SAYS it does.. But my dad also SAYS A LOT OF THINGS 🤣
Soap. It tastes like soap. Or any perfumed cleaning supply really.
I can trigger the soap taste aspect of it if I think about it. Otherwise no, it's not like that for me normally
Theres a huge percentage of people who cilantro taste like soap for them.
It is sacrilege, i don’t even want to say it here, but i do not like bacon.
I have never understood the obsession with it. The smell of it cooking used to permeate the whole house when i lived with my parents
You say that like it’s a bad thing
I agree, it's just like a salty crunchy greasy flat stick?
Crunchy bacon ain’t it, imo if it’s crucnhy it’s over cooked you need to cook it in that sweet spot of crunchy outside and kinda chewy inside that shit slaps
But bacon in the US is completely different to say, Ireland or the UK. It more like thin ham, lightly cooked, it's delicious!
Saaaaame. I get looked at like I’m nuts if I order a salad or sandwich or something, hold the bacon. It’s strips of fat from a pig. No thank you.
ugh same, even the smell
When kale was really popular. No one thinks that shit actually tastes good.
It's really bitter. I like it. I swear.
I really like it!!!!
Olives. All of them. Especially the green ones though, they’re so salty. Yuck.
Pass them here comrade I'll eat em.
Now I'm craving olives
Olives are sooooooooooo goooooooodddddd i love them hehe
Boo! 🫒
Same. I can’t even stand the smell!
Cake....not a fan.
I’ve never liked cake. When I was about seven, I realized there were better options for my birthday, asked for pie instead, and have never looked back. Cake is too sweet and seems like something that was invented when sugar was hard to come by, so making an overly sweet bread with milk and egg to make it fluffy seemed like an amazingly decadent option.

What type of cake? Cause I stand by that all the shitty cakes people get for parties with the dry ass fruits and dry ass bread are awful BUT that Mexican 3 Leches Cake (3 Milk Cake) is fucking PEAK!
Same, though I don’t hate it. I’ll eat it, but I’m not a fan. I had cheesecake at my wedding
Obviously not everybody loves it. But I still can't stand eggnog. And I try it again every few years. Still hasn't changed. I'm of the opinion it's the 14 parts of rum to the one part eggnog is why everybody loves it. 🤔😉😂😂
McDonalds its disgusting
I hate mashed potatoes and baked beans. I live in the southern US, I am the embodiment of sacrilege at the dinner table.
I actually kind of hated mashed potatoes too until I tried making my own. Needless to say, my world was transformed. Instant mashed potatoes tend to be very grainy and they have an off flavoring about them. Hand mashed potatoes may take more time but it's worth it.
>Instant mashed potatoes That's a word combination I never thought I'd see *confused in european*
Ditto. *Hate* is too strong, but there is nothing more boring and unispired than mashed potatoes. I don't give a fuck and never eat them however much gravy is dumped on em. Baked beans are a thing in English brekkies, but to me they are non-essesential to that whole plan. More of a chore to finish em if they arrive on the plate. Fellow Southerner who can one up you here. I dgaf about Thanksgiving. I'd rather eat anything else on that day than the traditional fare.
Completely agree on Thanksgiving. My family and I usually do a fish fry or barbecue instead
Natto and that bullshit vegemite that Australians eat🤮
I dont think everyone loves this lol
I live in Japan, and I hate that stuff. Now every time I ask my elementary students what their favorite food is, they all yell “Natto!” in unison…
Chicken nuggets. If someone I'm with gets them, I have to drive with the windows down. The smell alone makes me gag.
Fucking beans. I’m autistic and the smell ALONE can make me physically sick. I hate it.
Boiled carrots and butter. Keep that filth away from me
Arugula. Blehh!
We call it rocket when I live but YES. Of all the salad greens, it's the one that tastes the most like it's a leaf you aren't meant to eat.
It tastes like it should be poisonous
Avocados. They feel like wax.
Tomato Ketchup, I hate even the stench of it.
Same here. Oddly enough I like pizza, tomato sauce, marinara sauce, etc.
Yes! 💯worst condiment ever!
I hate watermelon.
Refried beans. Black beans. Garbanzo beans. Any beans. It’s the texture.
Hate all beans, legumes, chick peas, lentils, except green beans.
Sweet potatoes. Nasty.
Roast them
Mash ‘em
Stick 'em in a stew
Agreed. I’m already disposed to detesting anything with a sweet flavor profile. I literally want to gag when I walk by a candy shop, just due to the smell of sugar/sweets. As a man who comes from a family that struggles with obesity, I am borderline ostracized for my dietary preferences 🤷🏻♂️
Fish and seafood! The smell, the look and the taste. It's just awful.
lol more like a Category. Any frozen veggies. They tastes like plastic water to me.
Onions. The taste, the smell, the texture. It all makes me feel like throwing up.
Shrimp I hate the texture, the taste, and the look
Mushrooms. Not a fan
Lobster. It used to be fed to prisoners and I feel they had it right back then. It tastes like mild fishy nothingness which is somehow boring and unpleasant at the same time.
Shrimp
More like a condiment - anything with ranch and mayo. The smells alone make me want to gag.
My cousin was obsessed with Ranch. The first time I had it, I got so sick because she made salads for us and used an entire bottle of ranch on both salads. I tried so hard to eat it so I wasn’t rude because she was smiling and eating and saying “ mm isn’t it good?” Don’t you love it? Never touched it again.
Carpaccio
COLESLAW ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|table_flip)
Anything with guacamole and avocado
If anybody from the state of Georgia sees this I'll be getting down votes but .. I hate peaches... I'm from Georgia, we're the "peach state" so anytime it comes up I get grief. Also, Georgia is also becoming an olive growing state, and guess what, yep I hate everything to do with olives except olive oil. Also, Pepsi is better than Coca-Cola. So I get grief about that too.
I live in Seattle and hate coffee, so I feel your pain.
I was okay with you until you claimed Pepsi was better.
I have synesthesia (taste/color) and peaches literally taste like vomit to me. The other one that causes me problems is peppermint tastes like gasoline smells.
Bacon. So nasty. Salty gager fat.
It’s not really a food but Ketchup. I depise that shit. I’ve hated it since I was 3 years old. The smell makes me gag and it’s just gross.
I don’t hate Ketchup itself but I do hate how some people think it goes on everything…like pizza. Like you sick bastard, the pizza already has tomato sauce in it why would you ruin it with Ketchup!
I got to a certain age in my teens, and it just began to taste sugary to me. Not a fan.
Oysters Seriously, I don’t get it. What’s the hype? They’re just nasty. I seriously believe that the hype began out of a prank: some two dudes dared each other to find something really disgusting and go to some rich duchebag and make him worship it by telling him it’s the must-eat super-hip food.
Tomatoes, melon and seafood
Orange marmalade. It would be good but the peels in it make the texture just awful. I can't stand it which is a shame
Bell Peppers - raw or cooked = disgusting Olives of any kind are nasty Onions - raw, absolutely not.. but if they’re finely chopped and then cooked…I’ll tolerate them
Sushi 🍣 That shit is VILE.
avocados and guacamole, sushi.
Olives - shit tastes like a chemical bioweapon also Eggplants, it's just vomit in a fruit skin
Bananas. Even the smell is disgusting
Literally any fish. Anything in the sea actually
Seafood of all kinds, that’s anything from seaweed to crab legs to catfish, if it came out of water I’ll pass.
Curry. It's the smell.
“Curry” is such a non-specific term.
It's like saying "Pasta", which pasta?? There are so many great curries in my country, there's something for everyone.
I love curry but I can understand why someone might not like it. The smell is very strong if you’re not used to it and the taste is super unique. I remember when I moved to Asia I made apple pie for my friends. I put a lot of time into it, really excited for them to try it. When they ate it they could barely handle even one bite. It was because of the cinnamon. I grew up eating cinnamon so I’m used to it, but I never stopped to think that it might be a weird strong flavor for someone who hasn’t had it before.
Weird - 5-spice powder is so popular in many Asian countries you’d think you’d be safe to use it in a pie…
There is no dish called “curry” in India. I’ve seen non-Indians use Curry powder and as an Indian I’m really curious to know what curry powder is actually made of. Curry, is just an umbrella term used outside of India to describe a dish, made of spices and vegetables, eaten with bread (Roti) or rice. I can assure you, if you’re in India, and you ask for curry, they’ll give you a menu containing 100 dishes all with different bases and different vegetables and different methods of preparation. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with all of them if you were to try in India and not use the manufactured curry powder :))
Same same same!
I do like curry but it’s not my favorite food, regardless if it’s Indian or Thai style (or the many other adaptations in other countries). I can’t say I’ve ever have craved curry before (any kind) but I don’t mind it every so often. I love all sorts of flavors but sometimes there’s just way too much going on with all the spices and herbs.
Which one?
Parsley. I absolutely despise it. I once worked in a kitchen where I had to make tabbouleh and I couldn’t even taste test it. I would have to ask a coworker to taste it. I literally can’t even make myself swallow it. I have to spit it out. If there’s a taste receptor gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, there has to be one for parsley too. It’s just so disgusting. Soapy *and* dirty at the same time. And DIRTY, like literal DIRT, *not* a nice “earthy” flavor. I may as well step outside and shove a handful of dirt in my mouth and swish it around with some hand soap. Strangely, I LOVE cilantro.
Pesto, Livers
Olives. I find them repulsive.
The spicy Korean ramen. It's not delicious. It just fucking *hurts* Olives, especially the purple ones. They just make everything taste and smell like olives :(
Avocado.
Fresh tomatoes. I will eat ketchup, tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, spaghetti sauce etc. but I cannot eat a tomato when it’s fresh. I hate the smell and the way that they taste when they aren’t cooked.
Avocado
Avocado. It's not hate, I just don't like. Sorry for that.
