What's your food phobia?
 

This thread was inspired by this article:

What sort of foods which would be consumed by the average, well-adjusted adult can you just not stomach?

I for one can't eat cold cuts. There's something about the thought of eating cold meat that makes me nauseous. I've also met quite a few people who won't eat tomatoes, which I find extremely odd.

Clams casino.

Artichokes.....Oysters......Sushi

$7/hr morons touching my food, the food prep area or dinnerware after using the bathroom and not washing their effing hands.


Nasty bastards everywhere.

yes and the mgrs that don't really enforce it.... I've been in 'the john' with them at times, always wait them out ensure they wash. I've been lucky never to have had food poisoning.

Water Chestnuts... Biting into one is like scraping your nails on a chalk board. I absolutely HATE THEM!

There are some messed up people in that article.

The one food I don't like is lima beans. I'll eat them, but I'll complain.

I don't think I have one. There are lots of foods that I don't particularly like, but none that I would say I "hate" necessarily.

Unless we're talking about eating bugs and crap. I don't got there.

Rep +1

little dramatic over pickles?

Oysters

I'll eat damn near anything. There's nothing in the realm of what we would consider normal foods that I don't like. Sure, sometimes bad things happen to good food, but that's not the food's fault.

My wife doesn't like tomatoes or potatoes (except fries and chips).

For me, the older I get, the more buffets and salad bars give me the willies.

Pickles are destryoing her life ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

rep dude

Agreed. Nasty sumb!tches

But... But... But... they have sneeze guards! :)

I'm glad there's someone else out there that feels the same way. My family looks at me like I'm an alien cause I don't like them. Foul creation!

They need finger (and idiot) guards. :shake:

That reminds me of something else that really bugs me. I can't stand biting on wood, like a Popsicle stick. It is definitely like fingernails on a chalkboard. :eek:

Beets.

I'll second this one

Blue Cheese makes me want to :Lin:

I would consider myself a picky eater. I have evolved as I get older and eat more foods that I would never have considered in my younger days. I don't like tomato's, but I do like tomato juice, sauces, etc. I think most of the things I don't like is more of a texture thing. Mushrooms, forget about it unless they are morels and deep fried. I can eat salads but keep wilted lettuce away from me. I would say that almost everything I won't eat are fruits and vegetables but not all fruits and vegetables. Some I do eat. Pisses my wife off to no end because she has to watch what see cooks for me because if there is something in the dish that is on my no-go list I will act like a baby and not eat it. Sad really, something I would like to overcome.

I thought you were asking Phil Kloster (Phobia) what his favorite food was. Weird.

Broccoli or Cauliflower

I don't care if you pour 4 gallons of melted cheese on top of them, they are both some of the most nasty tasting things I've ever had

Cantaloupe.

Every person in my family loves them and I HATE them. My wife says that because I like watermelon I should like them. Not even close...even the smell of cantaloupe will drive me out of the room.

LIVER!!!

Hominy. I ****ing hate hominy.

you've hit my least favorites, hominy and beets.

ugh.

NASTY.

It always smells like old garbage to me too.

It may have choked Arti, but it sure ain't gonna choke Bob Dole.

Mushrooms, olives, beets, brussle sprouts, cabbage

Anything made by McDonald's.

Kristie Tynes

I like almost everything. Beets, Brussel Sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms. It's all yummy. I should weigh 600 lbs.

'shrooms

I LOOOOOOVE Brocoli. Has to be cooked though.....preferrably steamed.

**** YOU THEIR FRIES AND COKE ARE AWESOME!!!!

Lots of melted cheese. YES!

What tastes good to some people may not to others. During a Biology class the instructor had us all touch a piece of litmus paper to our tongues. We got a lot of different shades of colors. I try to remember that when people tell me they hate something I love.

anything w/tomatoes.
nuts, corn, seeds(i've got divertiku...diverticulight...a f@cked up colon)
anything green.
sec

This thread has been done before, but....

eggs, a.k.a. chicken fetuses.

SEAFOOD, YUCK

Liver has always disgusted me.

I used to work for a company that had several Laotians employed. They craved what we/they called "chicken egg." It was an egg with an underdeveloped baby chick. They would eat it like a hard-boiled egg, little bones and all.

Rotten Poosay. It's the worst.

I'll eat pretty much anything except raisins.

Grapes - good
Turning grapes into shriveled black pieces of sh*t -- bad

Never ate vegetables as a small child - my dad didn't eat them and my mom didn't cook them, plus my grandmother babysat me during the bulk of my preschool years, and I didn't have to eat anything I didn't want to. By the time she tried to get me to eat vegetables, it was too late. As a result, I don't like any normal vegetables that were force-fed to me (unsuccessfully) later. As an adult, I discovered vegetables that I like, primarily broccolli and spinach. So basically I like the vegetables most people hate, and hate stuff (onions, peas, peppers, green beans) that most people like.

I especially despise onions, since they're cooked into damn near everything.

Ditto here. Swelled Corn, yuck!

hominy is barf in a can.

liver is nasty.blah.

Another good one.

I don't eat things that have died and shriveled in the sun.

Chinese food. I wont touch it. I got food poisoning off it before and everytime i smell it my stomach tightens up and i get nauseated. wont touch the stuff ever again.

Yes but they don't "make" Coke.

"Chinese food" is just about the most broad term in the culinary vocabulary.

I really, really don't like mayonnaise or cottage cheese.

I think hominy is pretty good. It has a pretty weak flavor so I'm confused with all the hate.

The smell of steamed broccoli on a hospital cafeteria steam table. Had to serve that crap up when I was in high school. Nasty nasty nasty.

Me too, hominy barely has any taste at all.

That and canned peas, the mushy slimy ones. That's about it, once I 'got' pickled ginger, it just left those two.


Oh!! and Tuna casserole with potato chip topping, blech [though that might be a subset of peas].

I saw that on Bizarre Foods. Pretty *****ing sick. A bird fetus with hardened yolk around it.

Yum.

And just what in the **** is wrong with eating bugs?

You still can't get past that, huh?

You'll never get those two chicks in the sack if you don't eat seafood.

b@stards put those slimy little peas in anything and i am out.
casserole is dead to me
sec

Likewise, nasty fricken skank mellons! :shake:

Oh, I forgot about this, just the smell of that crap will make my guts turn. If I was on an island and that was the only thing there was to eat, I would be toast.

Word. I like spinach, broccoli, carrots, but I'd just as soon stab myself in the face as eat something with onions in it. I also hate pickles, I ****ing despise them.

Liver and onions is probably the nastiest dish I could imagine, though.

indian food makes me poo.

the kind of poo that hurts.

I like most everything that's been mentioned in this thread.

Oh well, more for me!

Me too.

Now mint is another story. Nasty stuff.

I love onions in every form. For those who don't, wrap one in foil and cook it on the grill. It is delicious and tastes nothing like raw onions.

Potatoes are the most amazing vegetable. They taste different in all their different forms. Baked, french fried, pan fried, scalloped, twice baked and new potatoes to name a few. A person can actually live on potatoes if need be.

Potato skins FTW! :drool:

That looks good, n00b. I like them with chili and cheese. :drool:

I like a lot of things...being in fine dining has expanded my palette a lot...

I don't really like onions. If they are cooked into something and not a huge focus of the dish I can stand them.

Love seafood but can't do oysters.

I don't enjoy peppers at all...

Thats about it.

I'll eat oysters just because they supposedly increase the size of your cumshots.

Where the **** did you hear that?

ROFL

I'm a big fan of Blackfish. they are a pain in the ass to catch but they are some good eating.

They have teeth like humans and feed on crustaceans, so they'll crush the shell on a fiddler crab that you're using for bait and just suck the juice out.
