Foods you never liked the look of

Away With The Fairies

I'm pushing 40 in age and I have never eaten an avacado until about a week ago. I just never liked the look of them.

I don't know what made me try one but I can't stop eating them now.

So is anyone else like me, never tried food because of how it looks?

Gherkins - look horrible and taste horrible

You would have to be starving to eat one

Bloody hipsters..

andekwarhola

Butter beans. Even as an adult, they make me retch.

Tork

Rollmops. Disgusting looking fish tails in a jar.

MzMurfy

Tripe. I remember seeing it once and nearly died on the spot it disturbed me that much.

Arghus

Curry cheese chips.

A food that looks worse going into your mouth than it does after coming out of your arse.

Church on Tuesday

Sushi.

No.

Yes, curry and cheese is just wrong. I’ll have cheese, on chips, curry too but both together, grim.

Fish, I HATE fish, before you look at it, the stink, then you look at it and it and the state of it, slimy and shiny, scaley even, the texture ughhhh.

Oh fish, I love tuna and salmon but anything else makes me sick. My housemate cooks fish and it smells like a rotten, mouldy mop and it stinks up the house. I was tearing up the house one day thinking the cat was hiding a dead bird somewhere in the house but it turned out it was his fish. Yuk.

beertons

Turnip, parsnip, gerkins, cucumber. Not in that order.

Eggs.. Fried, scrambled, poached etc. I hate the things. Boiled eggs have to be worst. Why somebody would cook and eat something that smells like a rotten fart is beyond me.

Oysters ....... Nuff said !!

Just saying oysters is not sufficient for me, I’m afraid.

Could you please expand on this?

Housemate eats a boiled egg most mornings - my god they stink and I like eggs but...

I love oysters. Forget about how they look, they're one of the tastiest foods I've ever eaten.

You have to look at them if you're gonna pick one up and throw it in your gob. how anyone could look at a quivering glob of puss and want to eat it is beyond me

Porridge..white sauce....pasta..fried tomatoes. Mushrooms.....

You can add mussels to that as well

AllForIt

Noting. I'm known to have a voracious appetite. I'll eat anything, if you cook it up properly. It's not that hard, but of course noone knows how to cook anymore.

guitarhappy

Boiled chicken feet. Four of them, standing in the middle of the plate looking back at me.

They're a delicacy in Jamaica but sometimes you have to set limits.

Also, anything like tripe, brain, lungs, lips, eyeballs, anus... except for a well made, small farm artisanal sausage, I could easily be vegetarian.

Coddle

Looks horrible,tastes amazing.

Connacht15

Marmalade!

Immortal Starlight

Cauliflower looks like a brain. 1000% disgusting.

This. A million times this. I can't even bring myself to wash the pot after my wife does scrambled eggs. I can eat meringue, mayonnaise, cakes, pancakes, but not straight up eggs.

Even the kids eat them, but they know that "Daddy doesn't egg"

Hodors Appletart

anything with that porridge consistency

semolina, rice pudding

bleuuuuggghhhhh

What is wrong with you?

Thelonious Monk

I don't mind oysters, I like the ceremony of how you eat them with the tabasco and knocking them back etc.
Mussels though, I can only eat them if I've had a couple of drinks, just hideous looking, but they taste pretty good.

razorblunt

Controversial ... Lasagne.

Don't get me wrong, if its cooked for me, I'll eat it but I will never order it or cook it myself.
I've never looked at something eating it or if it was on a tv advert and thought "I'd murder a lasagne right about now" like I would do for steaks, burgers or other pasta dishes.

IAMAMORON

Red Cabbage.

fussyonion

Porridge, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese.

Badly Drunk Boy

I've always been a bit funny about food, very fussy since I was a kid.From a visual point of view, I don't like peas but especially mushy peas, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, spaghetti bolognese, lasagne, scrambled eggs (although I don't eat any type of egg), tinned fish like sardines, pizza, fried tomatoes, any cooked fruit that turn to mush (like in tarts), and many more I'm sure.

The list of stuff that I don't actually eat is much longer. I only tried gravy for the first time in my early 30s. :eek:

Bigos, tasty as feck though.

After 14 pints a curry cheese chips is the food of the gods....

Corn.. Except when in a Kelloggs box.

And why on this Gods earth do you put sweet corn in Tuna Mayonnaise

Some strange folk on here.
Were ye all raised on mammys meat and 2 veg dinners?

I thought the same for a long time, I love it now.

Gregor Samsa

I'm a bit of a fussy eater, but most things I don't like are down to texture rather than look (taste does come into it, but that can be acquired).

I think asparagus looks hideous. Looks like something that could grow our though your stomach if you ate it.

Why anyone would eat pumpkin or butternut squash after opening it up is beyond me - both are like gutting a decaying orange animal.

Lentils are ok if mixed in with something else, but a portion of them on a plate looks like a mass of cockroach eggs.

mikeecho

Blue Waffles . Never liked the look of them, couldn't bring myself to taste one.

Walter Sobchak III

Pate. Never eat anything that looks the same going in as it does coming out.

I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to food but never got sushi. It's not even the raw fish but the cold sticky rice, yuk!

White cabbage is fine raw but when cooked it's vile.

Sorta "what's the point" without the soy sauce, wasabi and kimchi. Very morish when you get into it though.

Surreptitious

I would eat and appreciate all foods. The only ones I wouldn't eat are the poisonous fish that you have to be trained to prepare and the stuff you see on Idiot Abroad like baby chicken foetus. Also fried insects or such like.

Downing an oyster is like swallowing a massive lump of sea flavoured phlegm.
