GTKY: Foods that make you gag

buggirl72 · December 2014

Since we don't do FFFC about food, I thought an entire thread devoted to the foods you hate was in order

catvaughn5002 · December 2014

PICKLES absolutely hate them!

megrae12 · December 2014

I am a super picky eater. It's bad, H makes fun of me all the time. However, I will not eat anything that has onions in it. Absolute refusal (and I have been known to throw toddler fits about it). [-(

buggirl72 · December 2014

1. Yogurt. I've tried. I really have. It should be something I like and I know it's good for you but it is never, ever going to happen.

2. Mayonaisse

3. Quaker Oats Organic Instant Oatmeal.

Don't get me wrong, I love instant oatmeal (especially Maple and Brown Sugar flavor). I also love organic food. This stuff has no flavor and has the consistency of glue. Lumpy flavorless glue.

bfonz619 · December 2014

The only food I can actually say that I hate is raw onion. As long as they are cooked, grilled, roasted, charred it's all good, but a raw onion anywhere on my plate has the potential of completely ruining my meal.

BookishMomma · December 2014

Cruciferous vegetables! They smell like farts when cooked.

megrae12 · December 2014

@CFearsy I guess there will be no Sunday dinners at your mom's house, huh?

I'll join the no raw onion train also.

I'm also not a big fan of big chunks of cooked onion. It's more of a texture thing than anything. Luckily, Mr. Bug does not like raw onions and is willing to chop onions up small when we make something that needs them.

@megrae12, WHAT?!?!? There are SO many things with onions!!!

This reminds me of the time that my ex boyfriend lied to my mom (and me) about being allergic to onions because he hated them so much. She cooked a separate meal for him from then on...but she knew that he had lied because he had been over to eat with us several times and never mentioned this allergy before...my mom puts onions in everything!

Funny story - we had a grad whose H had told her he was allergic to onions. She thought he was lying about it so decided to test the theory by making something with onions in it and not telling him. He wasn't lying.

Well, @megrae12...she cooked different meals for my ex and he was an asshole, so I'd like to think she'd do the same for anyone else!

K, tell her I am coming over when I get over the plague that is this flu

Nikolie93 · December 2014

I have none... Which is kind of weird.

Apparently she got this new fancy grill thing and we're making homemade pizzas next week... :pizza: <---- I knew it wouldn't work but just imagine a pizza emoji anyway.

I hope you feel better, lady!

Yum!!!

@buggirl72 and @cfearsy - I will also hop aboard the yogurt hate train! I absolutely cannot stand it. I have tried many different flavors and just can't.

Last time I tried it I was gagging from the mere thought of it weeks later. The essential flavor that is yogurt is just not something that I can do.

aswedishbee · December 2014

For me, it's all about texture. I don't like mushrooms but don't mind the flavor if they're minced or really really small. I also can't do steak unless it's medium-well, cooked any less and I just can't take more than a bite or two. I also love pickles but never on a sandwich or even from a restaurant; they have to be from a jar.

Littleowl913 · December 2014

Celery, raw tomatoes (though I love cooked tomatoes and tomato products), cilantro, carrots, pickles, liver and all the other lovely innards (except tripe) and blood sausage (my people call it black pudding and it makes me gag whenever I see someone eating it) :-&

MellyMel15 · December 2014

Gefilte fish (for the uninitiated, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gefilte_fish… most of my family likes this), mushrooms, sausage, and cottage cheese are just a few I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others. Gefilte fish is definitely the grossest.

Raw sliced tomatoes...
I love salsa and all products made w/ tomatoes...but slices of raw ones like in a salad or on a sandwich...NOPE!!
All Seafood...boo I know...I make it for DH but just can't eat it.
For you non-yogurt fans...have you ever tried the Yoplait "Thick and Creamy" or the "Whips"?

It's not a texture thing on the yogurt for me. I just can't do yogurt taste. I've tried about every type possible because I really wanted to like it. It's not going to happen.

It's kind of like people who don't like cilantro. It's a taste bud thing.

This. I despise raw onions, but caramelized ones are oh so delicious!

I also hate eclairs, or anything else cream filled (insert snicker here). I cannot even handle the texture.

Pickles are the worst. Especially when you order a sandwich and they put a pickle on the plate and the bread soaks up the pickle juice. Soggy pickle juice bread, barf!

@Cfearsy - what's the code for the pukey emoji? I was trying to come up with that one!

@BookishMomma - this made me laugh.

And my baked broccoli does not smell like farts when it's being cooked

meredithcarole · December 2014

Most legumes (I can't stand the gritty texture), hard boiled eggs (texture again), nori - I love sushi, but need soy or rice wrappers instead of the seaweed, and organ meats (except foie gras, I love foie gras).

I didn't know so many people hated onions! I love them, I could eat them like apples (though I'm sure hubby wouldn't come near me after that)

For me it's carrots and mangoes. Yuck! :-&

Sour cream and cottage cheese! Omg ew!!!!!!!

Okra is doable if pickled...but I can't do it fried or any other form. Raw? Forgettaboutit! I just don't like the taste of black olives and for persimmons...I don't like the taste or texture!

They have done studies on it. To some people it tastes like soap.

Oh yeah, and okra! I'll spare you the details, but suffice it to say it was a poorly timed introduction of fried okra that coincided with a stomach bug in 5th grade.

Menrandes · December 2014

I cannot eat cheeseburgers. I love cheese and I love burgers, but the two together makes me gag.
Also, raw onions here too!
I love onions, but if I get a bite of raw onion it will cause me to throw up. Literally. No clue why.

I can't do yogurt either. It's a consistency thing for me. I put it in my smoothies, though to add extra calcium because I hate milk too! Dry cereal for me! I also gag at the smell of mayo.

You ladies seriously need to try Brown Cow Cream Top Maple yogurt. I gack at the consistency thing with yogurt too, but this stuff is super thin. Really thin, like the consistency of unwhipped heavy cream. And it tastes like the tears of rainbow unicorns.

OMG Brown Cow yogurt. That stuff is amaaaazing. I love the cream top.

jordangoodnight · December 2014

Mine is a texture thing too. Slimy or mushy stuff is a no go, like soggy bread... Gag!

catvaughn5002 · December 2014

@furrypaws- I will get some of that yogurt at the grocery store next time I'm there. I feel like I owe it to my fellow bumpie to at least give it a try

Also, I can't believe you don't like seafood. The ocean is 10 minutes from my house and I can't live without seafood.

@aswedishbee- I'm not a big fan of mushrooms either but have learned to like them when they are small and cooked into recipes. Other than that, no thank you!

PinkCamino · December 2014

Tripe.

My in-laws make this all the fucking time and a few times they tried to con me into eating it. The texture is disgusting and well the whole concept of eating it makes me want to hurl.

:-&

Yet, they would not let your H have Kraft macaroni and cheese . . .

PinkCamino · December 2014

Oh and Broccoli.

2 summers ago MIL gave me 2 bushels of broccoli and being the good housewife that I am (hahahahahahaha not) I decided to parboil and freeze. Well, did you know that broccoli is infested with bugs? yup, hundreds of cooked bugs floating at the top of my boiling pot.

Fuck broccoli.

MW had raw onions on a sandwich once on the same day we were inseminating. I couldn't stand being anywhere close to her until she brushed, flossed, rinsed and repeated a couple of times. Not only the taste but also the smell is what kills me.

[Deleted User] · December 2014

Peanut butter...it makes me want to vomit

rslh10 · December 2014

Green beans. My mom use to keep us at the dinner table when we were young until we finished them. I gag when I open a can or cook them fresh. It's awful!! The smell!!! @-)

Mashed potatoes, beans of any sort and mayonnaise. Gross.

@Kateisoptimistic‌ I have no idea why but I find myself sad for your hatred of Mashed taters!

imnotfancy · December 2014

I know this I mostly about foods, but... I had my very first dirty martini the other day and GAH! So gross! Who can possibly like those? The writer named it on a special during happy hr and so I thought I would try it. Never again! I've never had an olive before but now I'm guessing that I don't like them Like @petitchou1019‌ and @bluedaisy0627‌
:-&

flyoffeve · December 2014

I could probably list the foods that do not make me gag faster than I could list the ones that make me gag. I am a very picky eater. I have opened up more in the last few years and actually like cooked broccoli.

Top of the gag list: cottage cheese, boiled eggs, and all seafood except cooked fish

I seriously had to keep coming back to this thread because after reading every 5 responses I had to go away out of fear I was going to hurl.
