Funny thing is I never think of myself as a fussy eater because I eat most vegetables and I never feel restricted when it comes to finding something to eat!

I get that with the cheese. If I order a pizza, I always say "easy on the cheese" and ask them to add extra tomato sauce, think the cheese can sit in your stomach and be very sickening.

morcheen k

celery! just wrong and very similar to the equally bad corriander !! the same sickly metalic taste and smell.who invented them

WesternNight

Blue cheese. Jesus christ, just cannot stomach the stuff.

Scampi, prawns...hate the texture.

Celery.

Tofu.

Looks like cucumber is the most hated so far. Nice one! You're right, rubadub, even if you remove slices of it from a sandwich or salad, its juice will have already contaminated everything around it with its pestilence. I can even smell them if someone sitting beside me has a salad that is heavy on the cucumber, or if someone is slicing/dicing one.

You're right, morcheen, describing coriander as "metallic". Could never quite place what it was! Funnily enough, though, I used to hate celery and coriander, but I don't mind them so much now. Must be a "hitting the thirties" thing.

I'm surprised that only two people have mentioned marzipan. That's something that I used to really dislike, but which has since been rehabilitated. Marzipan to most people (including to myself) is that vile, yellow gunk underneath the (almost equally horrible) icing of a traditional Christmas or wedding cake. However, real marzipan tastes completely different. Before Ryanair axed it from its schedule, we managed to get to go to Lübeck (literally "Marzipan City") in Germany for the Christmas Market last year. So I was just wondering if marzipan haters have ever tried the proper stuff?

Have been put off Big macs for life after a horendous experience with one this eveing

Caliden

Onions.
I will actually gag if I come accross one in something I'm eating.
You could probably sneak one by if it was well cooked (burnt to a crisp) on a pizza so it's probably moreso raw onions.

Parsnips
Turnips

did you actually find some meat in there ?? :P

xzanti

+1 for celery..

I love cucumber though

shinikins

I can't eat mushrooms, its the texture of them in my mouth more so than the taste, if they are diced up fairly small i have no problem eating them, and i love mushroom soup(has to have loads of pepper in it though)

Prawns, can't stand 'em especially the tiny ones that you seem to only find in chinese food.

Never been a fan of boiled ham, or roast beef. And gravy just turns my stomach...uggghh the thoughts of it! My mother does this thing with home made rissoles where she lashes in a load of gravy into the pan and simmers them in it for ages, the end result being a gloopy slop on top of a nearly rubberised lump of meat....



....excuse me, i think i just vomited a little in my mouth

Seafood

Warper

Any sort of Pasta dish, cant stand the stuff, so plain

niamhallen

My absolute worst is Cinnamon, it's pure concentrated evil...

I can taste when the smallest amounts are used, when people try to trick me it gets spat straight out!! They think I won't taste it or something...

Xmas is a tough time...

Cinnamon you say? I do like cinnamon..

filthymcnasty

baked beans , spagetti hoops etc- basically anything in a tin suspended in tomato juice/sauce- :eek:

also liquorice, mushrooms, raw tomatos, ambrosia creamed rice, srambled eggs

Monkeybonkers

Marzipan. Yuck!!

Cocolola

Oh dear I wouldn't know where to begin.
It really would be easier to say that the only vegetable I eat is potatoes. That's it. Have to ask for all food that I eat out to have no veg in it.
Won't touch any of the following:

Onions
Mushrooms (they make me gag at sight alone)
Cabbage
Carrots
Peppers
Tomatoes (unless ketchup of pizza sauce)
Lettuce
Celery
Cucumber
Galric
Beetroot (it tastes like actual dirt)
Brussels sprouts
Parsnip
Turnip (gag)
Sweetcorn
All the rest of them

Fish unless it's in breadcrumbs or a salmon fillet
Pork
Lamb
Turkey (all my family hate it, we get chicken for Christmas)
Veal
Duck
Any "game" meat

Melons of any kind
Blueberries
Rhubarb
Cherries
Pears

ALL salad dressing type things

Mayonnaise is pure evil

Cheese except plain cheddar
Yogurt

GHERKINS!!!! They always put the bloody things in McDonalds quarter pounders *shudders*

Yes I know I'm fussy and that's it's really unhealthy, but I have no problem with it.

EDIT:
Jesus I forgot coffee and tea. Which is a massive problem for other Irish people, they really just don't get it. It's like stating that I like to kill puppies in my spare time with the reaction I get.

You may be a supertaster!

(which sounds cool but actually probably sucks)

''Cocolola'' Jeebers what the heck do you like to eat? Do you like alcohol? youd probably make a great monk

Tar.Aldarion

You like nothing. I used to be like you. Like everything now, took years of trying

Erm... actually no I don't drink either. Maybe once or twice a year if there's an occasion I might have a west coast cooler or two but ya I don't like things that taste like alcohol. :eek:

I'd better stop admitting stuff now!

Slunk

Looking through this thread, I dont htink theres one thing I wouldnt eat. Ive eaten octopus tenticles which was abit wierd with the sucky things on them. Only thing might be oysters, never had them but I reckon given the chance Id eat them.Milk from the plastic cartons, tastes different to the cardboard tetra pak carton. Not that I cant drink it, just doesnt taste the same.

Also, for the mushroom soup haters, imagine being covered in the mushroom flavour powder that makes it. Horrible experince, pretty horrible smell/ taste around the place after that accident. But that was the concentrated flavour, id still eat the soup no problem.

To be fair I do usually try to eat stuff but it doesn't work very often. In the last few years however I have been converted to lasagne, although I actually sieve the sauce...

Miaireland

Goats cheese, blue cheese, corriander, and peppers.

Bit of research into possible causes of being "picky eaters". Studying if it is genetic as oppossed to psychological.

I worked with a girl once who only ate milk chocolate & chips. That was it. Nothing else. Chocolate for breakfast & lunch. Chips for dinner.

I asked what she did when dining out & she said for appearances sake she would order chicken & chips. She would then eat the chips & leave the chicken untouched & make some excuse.

Alun

There was a series on BBC 3 a while back called "freaky Eaters". Some of them were truly weird, like someone who basically only ate cheese (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b009s833), and you seriously wondered how they had managed to survive that long without an illness due to some kind of major nutritional deficiency. In every single case, the cause was psychological in nature and put down to some kind of childhood trauma involving food or meal times.
