You have any foods that you dislike and when people find out that go, "No way, I love ___. How wierd!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mine are a) Ketchup and b) Bananas. Seperately. Or together.
Although, I can stomach the fried banana wontons from Stir Crazy. YUM! I don't like the raw fruit, tho.
Re: Poll: Foods that are strange to dislike...
This exactly! I thought I was the only weirdo. LOL
me too! the only thing I just can't bring myself to eat is eel. I eat everything (raw oysters, octupus, etc...)
I gag at the smell of pickles! Can't stand them. Dh knows already that when one comes w/ a sandwich, he quickly needs to remove it off the plate! And if it is on a sandwich, I will return it... can't stand pickle juice.
I also don't like honey mustard, or mustard, or mayo. Yuck!

OMG Jackie, me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't stand when the pickle juice infests my sandwich or fries or chips or anything on the plate - yuck!!!!!1 DH loves pickles and if eats them at lunch I can still smell them when he comes home from work and gives me a kiss - I send him straight to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
I also don't like bananas or the smell of bananas. Ham - can't stand ham. I like prosciutto and serrano ham, but not the regular kinds of ham. Oh and bbq chicken. I like grilled chicken but not with bbq sauce.
Sadly, I'm sort of a picky eater. I wish that I wasn't but I am. Here are just 2 of the things I don't eat that people always think I'm crazy for:
Any red meat of any kind
Avocados/guacamole
Raw plain tomatoes. I can eat them if it is like bruchetta or a pickled tomato but not in a salad or plain on a sandwich. Rye bread, green peppers, and also ham. I can eat bacon or ribs...but seeing a big pink ham grosses me out... I think it reminds me too much of it's original form....kinda like if a steak was white with black spots I may not be able to eat it either
This makes me think of My Big Fat Greek Wedding..."what you mean you eat no meat? That's OK, I make lamb"
No raw plain tomatoes, no rye bread, like Beth. No veal, no lamb, too gamey. and nix the mustard; smells like feet to me! bleck! Pretty much anything else I'm good to go!

Tomatoes and red meat
But I get the most comments on the meat thing. People get all excited when they talk about a juicy carne asada (steak) and when I get grossed out they think I'm crazy!
LOL, there is really nothing I won't eat. I'm not picky at all.
When I was pregnant with Nicky though, I could not eat pizza (which I love). The texture made me gag and many people were surprised when I told them that because they said pizza was one of their favorite pregnancy foods.
I don't like mayo, or ketchup. Also, I am one of the few people that hates chicken wings!
I do like something that most people can fathom eating, liver.
Loveeee guacamole. Hateeee avocado.
And since being pregnant, chicken and meat grosses me out. I can smell chicken from miles away and I can't stand it.
Lani - I say I'm allergic too, especially when I return a bread that has pickles... to make sure they don't just take out the pickles... but replace the whole sandwich!
