The tastes you hate (no more than 5)
 

green pepper
raw onion
cumin
grapefruit

seafood (mostly the smell, but taste and smell are extremely intertwined)
green pepper (agreed)
raw onion (agreed)
vinegar
raw tomato (this time, mostly the texture)

Those last four make me extremely picky about salads.

fish avocado cilantro liquor peyote

green pepper
curry
olives
shrimp (aversion therapy)
meatloaf

seafood/fish (all)
cilantro
mushrooms (all)
anise
horehound (sp?)

Peppers
Horseradish
Coconut
Brussels sprouts
Sauerkraut

Barium contrast for small bowel series
All of the colonoscopy prep stuff
Brussel sprouts
Asparagus
Cabbage

Olives
Green peppers
Sea urchin
Pimiento Cheese

goat cheese
goat milk
cooked green pepper
most mushrooms
sea urchin roe

seafood/fish
canned spinach
canned asparagus
avocado, unless prepared in my SIL's guacamole recipe - but only her recipe
mushrooms

And that pretty much covers it.

green, yellow, orange and red peppers and chilis and all of that ilk
pork
milk
cilantro
cinnamon

coconut
brussel sprouts
cooked spinach
raw mushrooms
rust (in water, etc.)

See I would never hate sea urchin roe.

Cause I would never have tried it in the first place.

I think you might change your mind if you had some of my BBQ ribs. :D

meatloaf
cilantro
warm mayo on a burger
texturized vegtable protien
idodized salt

There isn't much I don't like, excluding organs.:greenface

Brussel Sprouts
Avocado (texture)
Asparagus

Chinese baby corn and the sauce flavored with it. Defies comparison with any other taste I know.

Comes up in sushi. Salmon eggs, too.

I'm just more adventurous than Pete is. Edible things rather seem to outnumber inedible things, as the late Ewell Gibbons taught us. If you're lost in the mountainous pine woods in early spring, you can probably make it out of there eating the just-emergent new tender pine needles right off the tree. Also prevents scurvy, if you're, uh, really really lost. Those and the hearts of cattails, which probably don't taste like all that much but would fill your stomach with something digestible and in some degree nutritious. (So never be without your knife to get at them.)

I can see where some people think cilantro tastes like soap, but it just doesn't go far enough in that direction to read like soap to me.

Some of you guys have the oddest dislikes. Avocado?! Couple months ago I had me the best avocado I've ever dug a spoon into: slowly slowly paperbag-ripened -- I was wondering if it ever would ripen -- until it had the slight yielding of the ripe avocado but not the squashiness of a 'cado past its peak. (Discolored avocados have lost it. Not much fun there.)

Halved, pitted, and lightly salted, it was so fresh and creamy -- it was like eating Gardevoir pussy. (Or the Firefly episode with the fresh strawberries.)

Cumin?! Good Lord. Without cumin, chili simply... isn't. And it puts depth in curry powders too -- which are at their peak made up and ground up the day they are used. It's good curry when you and the wife have been to an Indian restaurant, then make love that night, and the whole bedroom smells of curry in the morning.

Brussels Sprouts
Anise

Never went down the road of colonoscopy, so I cannot pass a judgement on that but any medecine one has to ingest is usually awful.

And I love sea food and fish.

Hard to pick just 5. I kept thinking "hey yeah, I hate that too!"

Still, I'd like to add cilantro.

I left mushrooms off because for me it's a question of texture, not really taste. Since it was tastes you hate, I went for the stuff that makes me actually want to barf if I eat it. Some of the stuff I can't even stand to smell: coconut, green peppers.

I'm going to tell Pete right now that I hate pork (I dont' really) so he can persuade me with his BBQ ribs, though! :)

scotch
licorice
celery
brussel sprouts

not in order of disgustedness:

Pickles (can't even have them touching my sandwich or potato chips ... nasty)

Coconut (allergy, even small amounts make me retch as I need to eject it from my body before damage occurs ... betcha didn't know that some of the cheaper cocoa powder mixes use coconut as a filler ingredient? ... and some chocolate covered ice cream bars and nuggets do the same thing?)

Mushrooms

Goat's Milk (never tried fresh, might be different, overpaid for a quart of the commercial stuff in the hippie aisle of my supermarket, couldn't manage it, even with chocolate syrup)

Snails (okay, I've never actually HAD snails, but I choose to dislike them on general principle)

All pickles? A sweet gherkin tastes so different than a dill that it's hard to image that you hate both.

avocados are just gross. I know lots of people like them, but they make me gag.

and cinnamon? That's a new one on me.

I don't like BBQ either. But pork makes me puke.

no, it isn't. They would be on my list if I were allowed six.

and avocados. Only I thought, well, I haven't actually tried one in so long maybe my palate has matured and I like them now, who knows?

Wait.......

Where is UG?

:lol:



and I agree with wolf about snails too.

haha, I hadn't even made it to the second page. I thought it was weird he hadn't showed up yet to criticize the avocado haters. :D

Another opportunity missed to shut the fuck up.

What are you - UnAmerican?

Oh, wait.


Seriously, though. I think you are the first person I've met who doesn't like BBQ. To each their own.

It's true that my ribs are very persuasive. http://th387.photobucket.com/albums/...ive_smiley.jpg

I will save you from the ravages of scotch, especially fine single malts!

They are all pickles and therefore tools of the Evil One™. Jew, spears, bread and butter, sweet, sour, all bad. I am pickle aversive. I do not relish relish.

lol:D

And a pickle, puts you in a pickle?

crow

foot

brussel sprouts

Wow.
So many people dislike the things I love!
Makes me feel even weirder.
Some of the other things mentioned I could eat stright from the jar/ packet..

Anyway, my loathe list:

Peanut butter
Banana
Aniseed/ licorice/ star anise etc etc (it's all the same to me)
Cucumber

Am debating the fifth (pleading the fifth?)
There are some bubbling under.

For example sliced tomato in sandwiches makes me gag.
But that's probably too specific, given that I can't tolerate any of the above in ANY way.

I'm glad I put four originally, so that I could add anise to the list

As far as I'm concerned, it's pronounced with the long a.

anything in vinegar (including, but, not limited to, pickles)
black licorice
kraut
McDonald's and Hardee's biscuits
cauliflower (which is in the same category as broccoli, I don't mind the taste so much as the texture)

Damn, I shoulda put Jägermeister as number 1, I hate that shit.

Celeriac
Aniseed (and all related flavours, including Pernod etc)
Cow's udder (though that is a texture thing)
Earl Grey tea
Violet cream chocolates (or any of those floral flavour ones).

Yeah, I blew it. Anus bumps everything but green peppers.

Man, you lot sure are picky. I can't think of anything I just can't eat. There are a few things I'm not partial to, but I'd still eat them if they came as part of a meal (especially one I didn't cook, which probably wouldn't contain things I don't particularly like).

taken out of context for lulz

ooh I just remembered Parma Violets. Those were REVOLTING. They made me hurl at many a kids' party 'til I finally made the connection....

I loved what Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa) said about Brussels sprouts...

"Most people hate Brussels sprouts because they remember the awful boiled things they had as a child.

"But they haven't had Brussels sprouts with pancetta."

:yum:


Interesting how many folks don't like green peppers. My mother, who is also a farmer, recently informed me that we are not really supposed to eat green peppers because they are unripe. That seems to explain a lot. Although I don't hate the flavor, my digestive system has never been able to take them.

I really hated all pickles until very recently. A lot of the new restaurants that have popped up in Philadelphia have very interesting cuisines, such as house-made versions of everything from sausage to pickles. House-made pickles are delicious!

If 10 were allowed I'd be adding spearmint. love peppermint, hate the spearmint.

These are two of my favorites.

Snails are prepared like some seafood. The sauce is made of butter mixed with garlic and parsley.

I love it. Same with frogs' legs.

Well... I'm French.

Any doubts as to your Frenchiness have been washed away! ;)

And saur kraut.

I've had snails. They are yummy. Frog's legs too. Although frog's legs are a lot like chicken wings, so there isn't too much point in going to the trouble of getting frog's legs. Just eat some wings.

offal

:lol2: Offal tastes awful.

This is what I've always said! I love red bell peppers. Green ones are hideous. On the other hand, I greatly prefer tart green apples over red ones.

Anise.

Ick.

I will trade snails for anise. I had an aunt who was crazy about anise. Every year her tin of Christmas Cookies went straight into the trash. EVERY year.

Do we need a field of 64 thing?

Right back atcha, Toad. Goose sauce, gander sauce. Consider a philosophical question: since when are forums ever an opportunity to shut up?

Anise cookies are quite all right. Wouldn't want to overdo the anise or it would be like a cross between cheap liquorice -- the molasses-y Australian and Scandinavian liquorices are much better -- and Buckley's Mixture.

Snails -- hey, butter and garlic. Good eatin'. And one experience the unadventurous, I guess, shall never know.

I see Clod's point here -- in that Delicious-variety apples don't keep very well, and puckery Granny Smiths do, besides being the thing for pie baking.

Delicious eaten the afternoon they are picked is another story; they live up to their name then. Keep 'em around, though, and they go mealy. In the supermarket I'll buy any other variety first.

Post #18, same page I got this. :D <--avocado-eatin' grin

And man, was that a memorable avocado... (sighhhhh)

Yeah actually I was wondering why you said that UT, and only put a few words which were sure to be taken out of context in the quote by the anti UG crowd.

If there's any forum on this site where UG actually does normally speak with knowledge and skill I'd say it's this one. Certainly in politics and sometimes current events his views might sometimes cause that sort of reaction, but surely not the food forum?

Simple question: 5 tastes you hate.

Everyone answering.

UG response:
No answer to the question.

Well I didn't really respond to the question either, and there are a few others who haven't, and other general discussions seem to be going on too. I guess I just don't get why you singled UG out.

I thought thread drift was accepted in this community. Even encouraged at times.
