Pickles - I ate myself sick on them when I was about 5 and just cannot eat them any more.
Liver and other organ meats.
Mangoes.
Turnips. I'm fine with turnip greens. And most greens. I like collards, but they give me horrible gas.
Lots of other stuff I would rather not eat, but if I am out and they are served, I can eat them.

you don't like pickles (and for a really good reason!), liver and other organ meats, mangoes, turnips and some greens!!! very nice!!

i can no longer eat pears (canned or fresh), and beans (except garbanzos, made into hummus). they just go right through me, quickly.

I am not really picky, but here are some things I can think of:

Oranges (super juicy fruits are just a no go for me... I feel the same about watermelon for the same reason).
Melons (in general, I just don't like melons... they are weird and not all that tasty anyway).
Seafood (just don't like it)

There may be more, but that's what I can think of for now. Then there are always just some things I have no desire to try. Lol.

oranges and other 'super juicy' fruits, melons, and seafood are foods that you don't like!!! excellent!!

I hate pizza, just the smell makes me feel ill.
Garlic
All fish and shellfish
Curry
That's about it

Click to expand...

you dislike pizza, garlic, all fish and shellfish, and curry!!! that's great!!

my dislike of curry started as a child, with Minute Rice cooked with curry powder. dry, hard, yellow, curry-flavored grains of rice...... i have never gotten past that.

Cream cheese/cheesecake
Sour cream
Eggplant/Ratatouille (My MIL made me eat a spoonful of ratatouille and I couldn't even get it down. I gagged on the stuff and it came out in a paper towel.)
Olives
Anchovies
Sweetbreads, tripe, offal, etc. (I will eat and love liver, pig stomach, beef heart)

There may be more

cream cheese/cheesecake, sour cream, eggplant/ratatouille, olives, anchovies, and sweetbreads, tripe, offal, etc are foods you don't like!!! excellent!!

there are some foods that i'm sure there are other uses for, as opposed to for human consumption.

Liver, pickled herring, ....I like the ingredients that go into deviled eggs but the yolk mousse part and the fact that it's put back into the egg white part really freaks me out. lol It's like some irrational phobia I have.

Click to expand...

you dislike liver, pickled herring, and deviled eggs really freak you out!!! awesome!!

i can understand that! i love eggs, including deviled eggs. but they're also a food that if i let myself think about it, i'd likely refuse to eat. protein is something that my particular body really needs and does best with in good quantities. eggs are an excellent source of protein, and so i'm very careful not to let myself think about them along certain lines. so i can understand why (deviled) eggs freak you out!

Kale, turnips, candied orange peel, chicken feet (ordered they by accident once - tried it because I'll eat anything once, yikes awful), licquorice, all artificial sweeteners. Not a fan of cooked down celery though I'll eat it raw.

you don't like kale, turnips, candied orange peel, chicken feet, licquorice, all artificial sweeteners, and cooked down celery (though you'll eat it raw)!!! that's great!!

yup, candied fruit isn't something i like. i do really like cakes made with canned or fresh fruit in the ingredients, though. it's the candied fruit that i don't like.

muffy said:

Meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, and any kind of milk except soy. Also Arugula, all greens except kale. I could eat my weight in kale. I can't seem to think of any more.

you dislike meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, any kind of milk except soy, arugula, and all greens except kale!!! that's great!!

i really like soy milk, too!

None that I can think of. Some I haven't tried and never will such as rattlesnake, possum, coon, etc.

DreamerRose said:

I forgot about sweetbreads. Can't stand them. My mother always mixed some into scrambled eggs. I believed for years I didn't like scrambled eggs until one day I pointed out the gray parts and said, "That's what I don't like." Don't remember how I discovered it was sweetbreads. Why she ruined perfectly good eggs with sweetbreads is beyond me.

Click to expand...

i've never tried sweetbreads, and that one's on my list of 'not ever gonna try'.

maybe your mother was given the sweetbreads, or something like that...?

Lari said:

Tomatoes/ketchup/red sauce
Peas
Cilantro
Peppers
Mustard
Pineapple
Coconut (but I will use coconut oil and milk)
Pickles

I'm sure there's more.

horseradish, mustard, eggplant, cilantro, and most fish are foods you don't like!!! very nice!!

i'm very particular about the fish i like, and in how they're prepared. i do really like lemon pepper on catfish or trout filets.

neely said:

I absolutely detest cilantro.

neely said:

And you can't get the awful soapy taste out of your mouth.

Click to expand...

you really don't like cilantro!!! most excellent!!

i guess i'm lucky, that i don't get that soapy taste when there's cilantro in foods i eat.

i will say that cilantro is like cumin for me, i always use a bit less than a recipe calls for.

kashmir64 said:

Celery, carrots, tofu and there is no way I'm putting Rocky Mountain Oysters (bull/hog testicles) in my mouth. (and yes, some people love them). Had octopus and rattlesnake once, didn't like it.

Unlike you micknsnicks2mom , I love liver. Especially, grilled baby beef liver with bacon and portabella mushrooms.

Forgot lemon. Anything that has anything to do with lemon.

Click to expand...

celery, carrots, tofu, Rocky Mountain Oysters, octopus, rattlesnake, and anything that has anything to do with lemon are foods you dislike!!! great!!

yup, Rocky Mountain Oysters are also on my list of 'will never be eating'.

mani said:

Kidney. I was given steak and kidney pie as a child and vomited. I find the taste appalling. I've mainly vegetarian now so it doesn't really matter, but, yuck!
And I've never eaten an oyster.. how people can eat something that looks like a big boogie is beyond me! I'm allergic to shellfish anyway.

Click to expand...

you dislike kidney/steak and kidney pie, and will never eat an oyster!!!

i tried oysters once, just one oyster. nope, never going to eat those again.

marmoset said:

I love all veggies except eggplant and yam. I've never had a tripe I liked either.

Click to expand...

you don't like eggplant and yams, also tripe!!! very nice!!

no tripe will be tried here!

NY cat man said:

Liver, clams, oysters, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, eggplant, zucchini, yellow summer squash, sushi (aka- bait), calamari, Rocky Mountain oysters, turnips, or parsnips.

Click to expand...

i'm not particularly fond of asparagus, either.

To gross you out some more, sweetbreads are the thyroid gland of cattle. Eeww.
