Question of The Day. Friday 10th of January

[Norachan]

What`s a food or drink that most people love, but you can`t stand?

For me it`s most cold, sweet things. So things like cola or soda are out.

I don`t like ice-cream, it`s nauseatingly sugary and the cold sets my teeth on edge. I`m not a fan of anything with fresh or whipped cream either. The absolute worst thing is trifle. Cold canned fruit, cold jelly, cold custard and cream! Yuck!

I love ice cream, you can make your own that is low sugar etc. or sweetened with stevia. If you have pain from cold foods go to the dentist, your roots may be exposed. I had that problem for years because we were told to over brush our teeth the wrong way, and had enamel put over it. But it wore off and now that I switched to arm and hammer tp with no irritants it is much better. They have a sensitivity version too which helps which I use once per day. I have to be able to eat sweet things for low bg but I love most of them anyway.

Soda- I occasionally have Zevia which is sweetened with stevia. I drink it room temps so no cold issues.

Foods I don't like are a lot of things like vaious fishes, anything raw etc. They taste awful to me and raw food is not safe, I also hate the slimy texture etc. Not all fish though. I know there are other things but I can't think of them at the moment. I don't like most bitter foods either. That makes sense because many bitter things are poisonous.

Croutons & bacon bits: how to destroy a salad.

Most fast food... McDonalds etc. I feel like I'm doing something awful to my body. I've probably had less than 10 things from Maccas in my life.

Oh, and oysters, if most people like them. Apart from looking like something that's come out of a fluey nose, they're horrible slimy things.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

Any shellfish. I do not eat invertebrates. The sight of prawn cocktail makes me gag.
Curry. Sweet and sour dishes. Blerk.
Mayonnaise, or at least the type one gets here - it's sweet. Way to ruin savoury dishes. (Except the mayonnaise from my local cafe, which is faintly salty and perfect in their egg sandwiches.)

pumpkin pie it just reminds me of infant poop

I hate osyters too, I don't think I've ever eaten one, but yuck! Slimy and looks so yucky etc.

Cold coffee drinks. I love hot coffee, and coffee flavored ice cream and candy but hate, hate the taste of a cold coffee beverage.

 

[vansX2]

I don't eat Fish, Oysters, Mussels,Calamari . Also Durian Fruit, Liver. Most other foods are acceptable.

 

[neely]

I know it's not exactly food but you season food with it - Cilantro. I detest it so much I could puke.
Since I'm vegetarian I don't like meat either. Even growing up my sister and I didn't like bacon but liver was the absolute worst.

 

[Lari]

Pineapple
Coconut
Red sauce

 

[SueLinda]

Coffee.
Fish (except I like tuna)
Frosting
Milkshakes

Absolutely agree. The thought of iced coffee makes my stomach lurch. But hot coffee? The stronger and hotter, the better.

Isn't there a gene some people have that makes cilantro taste like soap? I've never cared for it either.

 

[denice]

I don't care for shellfish like lobster or crab. I know they are considered a delicacy but I do not like them. I also don't like things like oysters, clams or mussels but I think it is more common for people to dislike those. I am really picky with seafood in general, I only really like the mild whitefish.

 

[IzzysfureverMom]

Fast food have not eaten any in many years

Yes to some people cilantro taste like soap. I love it.

 

[vansX2]

I eat fast foods once an awhile. It's not good nutrition, or for weight conches people, IMO.

 

[fionasmom]

Isn't there a gene some people have that makes cilantro taste like soap?

This actually appears on some of the popular DNA tests like Ancestry as a genetically linked dislike. I don't have that gene and love cilantro.

On to what I don't like...carbonation in just about anything. That rules out soft drinks, soda water, etc. Meat, which I don't eat, but it is also an actual dislike. Cornmeal, which also eliminates a number of popular foods. Papayas have a strange aftertaste to me which is almost revolting. Wine as it has only one taste to me, any and all of it, and that is bitter or sour.

Cilantro 2 of my 4 children are the same way and not overly fond of rosemary. You can add humus to the list. Other than that I pretty well like most foods.
