NTTCALR: Food you hate

emeraudecephiro · November 2010

My DH and I got into an argument over things we hate and why...he can't believe the thing I hate most...and thinks I only hate it to make controversy and be different.

What's this thing you ask...that covers half of America's menus and people add to effing everything?

Bacon. That's right. I hate bacon. I like ham, I like pork chops...I. LOATHE bacon. The smell, the taste...ugh.

Believe me, if I could like it, I would. It's on everything. To find something cool to eat that doesn't have bacon is a full time job in some restaurants.

What's something you loathe that other people love, food or not?

Mmmmm bacon.

I don't think you are weird. I know people who don't like CHEESE.

I will eat pretty much anything, but I have an odd list of things I don't like. A lot of it has to do with texture and also, I am not a fan of sweet things at dinner.

I hate:
Ham
Any meat on the bone except buffalo wings
Cooked carrots
Russian/Thousand Island salad dressing
Warm mayo (like on a burger)
Warm lettuce (like in a burrito)
Sauercraut
7 Up/Sprite
Sweet potatoes
And, wait for it.....THIN MINTS

I hate cottage cheese!!! I can't even use it in my lasagna which DH grew up on.

martinimomma · November 2010

I don't eat pork (or beef, or anything else with 4 legs) so I feel you on the bacon. It is such a "food trend" right now that ordering things is a challenge.

My list includes:

Mushrooms

Peas

Peanut Butter and Chocolate together in any capacity

Cookie Dough

olives
mushrooms
thin mints
Dr. pepper (I tried to like it)

I think that is all.

Gum - I hate the smell and taste

Beer - I will only drink really fruity beers

Onions - Nothing about them I like

Cooked Spinach - I used to love cooked spinach then got pregnant and can't stand it

I'm sure there are more. Hmmmm......

ETA: I forgot Coffee

There is something fundamentally wrong with those people. Its cheese... !

Liver tops the don't eat list, bologna, baked beans, sauerkraut, crab, most fish, quiche (but I like eggs) and bok choy. I also don't eat anything w/ flax in it, although I like it, it has a bad effect on my GI system.

I hate bacon too! I'm not a huge fan of pork to begin with though, especially pork tenderloin-I can't stand that it comes in a huge log.

Cristine · November 2010

I don't think that's weird. I love bacon by itself but I despise it with other foods.

My list:

Gum

Ham

Liver

Brussel sprouts

Broccoli

Beer

itsmegin · November 2010

Onions, mustard and mayonnaise Ick!

millejj1 · November 2010

I'm with you on hating bacon! It's just gross. I've struggled with some of DH's families cooking bc bacon is in everything! I like ham (the kind you eat for Easter dinner, not the lunch meat) and some pork tenderloins. Other than that, if it's from a pig I can't stand it.

I'm a pretty picky eater so my list of things I don't like is pretty long. A lot of them are texture based. To type them all out would take a year, so here's a few Embarrassed

Gravy

Celery, onion, peppers, mushrooms, lima beans, peas that aren't the small green english ones.

Cheese on cold sandwiches, I love cheese alone or in a salad. I also love it on hot sandwiches like cheesesteaks, but I don' t want any part of it on a sub or lunch meat sandwich.

Forget liver, I can't even stand to be in the house when that is cooked.

Mustard

Casseroles, especially Tuna Noodle or anything containing cream of anything soup Ick! . I blatantly discriminate against most casseroles, to many flavors together. (I do eat lasagna though if it's made the right way)

I also don't really like cake (unless it's ice cream!) or doughnuts either.

I'm used to people laughing so go right ahead!

RunSchwartzRun · November 2010

Fish. OMG, gag.

Sometimes I lie and say I have an allergy because people just can't comprehend it, especially when I lived in Savannah.

I also hate anything cherry, mostly candy, cough drops, etc. Real cherry flavor is ok, but anything artificially cherry-flavored is nasty.

HappyLaLa0914 · November 2010

Chocolate. And fudge.

:::ducks to avoid the people throwing shoes at me::

No seriously, every time I say I hate chocolate it's like I've said something so offensive that I'm going to get stoned to death. But I do. I hate it.

emeraudecephiro · November 2010

millejj1, I'm pretty picky too...but I didn't list the rest of my hated foods because there are a lot!

Lala, I don't like chocolate either unless there are massive amounts of caramel, or it's white chocolate.

la*bella*vita · November 2010

I dont eat any meat, fish, chicken, etc!! I am a vegetarian. So try finding something to eat in a restaurant.. Impossible! Also bananas, if I smell one I vomit! Dont let DH in them in the house!

You are literally the first perosn I've ever met who's agreed with me! I'm the same way - I like Snickers and stuff that's just coated with chocolate, but have no taste for Hershey's bars or truffles or anything like that. And fudge makes me want to barf. Ick!

bryanandkatrina · November 2010

I hate most pork products, with the exception of bacon Stick out tongue

I also hate onions, even thought everyone else loves em!

Mrs. Julyan:

I can't stand olives. That's pretty much the biggest thing, I hate when they are in stuff, I try so hard to just eat the food, but they have such a strong taste I can't handle it. I'm pretty picky, but not a lot I absolutely hate.

S/o people's strong reactions to food you don't like, people think I'm really weird because I don't drink regular pop. Someone grabbed me a can of sprite because she didn't know what I like and I said thanks, but I don't drink regular pop. Everyone I've told that to acts like I'm a crazy person! I'd rather eat my calories than drink them, especially empty sugar calories like pop. (Yes, I know diet pop is supposedly bad for me, too, but oh well, I don't believe that, and I don't care. )

I don't liker soda either. I like Diet Coke, but that is it. I don't like how sweet soda is. I prefer the taste of Diet Coke. I hardly ever drink that either, actually. I hated all soda as a kid, I think it was the fizziness, so I never really got into soda. I don't like juice either, too sweet and thick, except grapefruit (white) which is not sweet at all. I also don't like sugar etc. in my coffee. But Sprite etc., I loathe. With a passion.

I am a bacon fan (I even have a shirt with 3 strips of bacon on it) - but I am not a hater and respect your right to hate it. Let's see, what do I hate:

Liver - not really that controversial, fresh mangos (can't stand the smell - long story) - but I can eat them if I don't have to smell them, raw cookie dough (another long story). ick.
