What food/foods do you hate? Why do you hate it/them?

I hate liver. Never liked it, flavor and texture were gross.Looked like the bottom of a shoe. How about you. We have been posting about our favorites. Now, lets turn the tables,
Edit--snotty eggs. tapioca pudding, and al dente spaghetti noodles-tastes uncooked to me.Tapioca pudding had these eyes looking at you, And one that seems popular--calamari. Tried it once, fried, and it was like eating a rubber band.

[Elessar Zappa]

1. I like most foods.

I guess if I had to pick one I don’t care for it would be beets.

[Walleye]

2. Bell peppers, seems like they're in everything

I don’t particularly care for the taste and over the years I have discovered that they trigger migraines in me.There’s hardly any other foods I don’t like besides of course liver. You’re absolutely correct on that

[tblue37]

7. This!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. I only like green ones in/on certain things, esp. if they're strong-tasting

Fajitas, for example, should have some green bells in them. Though I'll use Poblanos as a stand-in in a heartbeat

The red, yellow, orange ones, otoh ... I eat those a LOT. One of my fave veggies actually.

[Walleye]

26. I wish I liked them but I just can't handle them

[debm55]

35. Walleye, I get the migraines from shrimp. Love shrimp but can't eat it.

[Walleye]

45. I know what you mean you can eliminate a lot of pain by identifying what is doing it

[kimbutgar]

54. Yes can't stand the taste

My Mother used to put bell peppers in everything. I became a picky eater and when i complained and refused to eat she finally used to cook with less bell peppers.

Once I went to dinner at someone’s house and they had stuffed bell peppers. I couldn’t eat it and lied and told them i was allergic to bell peppers to not insult them.

And whenever I buy prepared food I check the labels to make sure no bell peppers. Luckily my husband also dislikes bell peppers.

[iemanja]

106. I dislike green peppers

but not red.

[Ocelot II]

3. Onions, onions, onions, Brussels sprouts, kale and garlic.

All of these taste very bitter. Also liver and oysters because of the texture.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

18. I still gotta make ya MY grilled brussels one of these days OC

I know how make 'em good. Key is to drive out the swamp gas they have in them, and get a decent char (with real charcoal, not gas). And season them right. I rarely eat Brussels cept the ones I make, cause yeah, they can be nasty

[Ocelot II]

27. A lot of people have told me that if I cooked Brussels sprouts *this* way or *that* way,

I would like them. And I've tried those ways, and I still don't like them. I'm done with them.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

30. I know, we've had this talk :)

The key here is ... *I* actually make them, that's the only way it works

[electric_blue68]

86. Hahaha...

I learned to like brussel sprouts roasted. 👍

Before I had learned to like them more....
The recipe I watched in TV was where the chef said cut the ends,, maaaay be half them, separate the leaves, and saute them for a little bit w ?olive oil.

Suppose to bring out sweetness, didn't work for me

[Conjuay]

111. How do you

Drive “TheSwamp Gas” out?

I like Brussels Sprouts, but truth be told, I’ve eaten far worse.My dad threw bird seed out in the yard and after a few weeks, harvested the greens.

I swear, the boiled greens stained the inside of the pot.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

117. My way is pretty simple

1) cut off excess stump, cut them in half length-wise
2) put in a ziploc with a little butter, about 1 tblspoon water, capful of lemon juice, and salt/pepper
3) nuke for about 1 minute (yes I know it's unhealthy to nuke in a ziploc but it's quick at least)
4) let sit/marinate for about an hour
5) place the halfs face down on a charcoal grill, I have a grate with small squares to put them on first then carry to bbq.
6) grill over direct heat for about 2 mins, then move to indirect for about another 5-10 depending how hot the fire is.
7) remove and toss with a little more butter & salt/pepper

They end up tasty little grilled cabbages with none of that swamp gas character.

[wnylib]

63. Are you a super taster? I am.

Super tasters cannot tolerate bitter flavors. Other tastes can be a bit much for us, too, like sour flavors, too much salt, and fatty foods.

I discovered that I am a super taster in a biology lab in college. After explaining it to the class, the professor went around the room putting a tasteless sterile control slip of paper on our tongues. (It had a taste, though, to me. Tasted antiseptic.) Then he went around to each of us with strips of paper treated with a substance to test our reactions. To the average person, it would have a mildly bitter flavor. To super tasters, it would be very strong and intense.

That strip barely reached my tongue when I gagged and ran into the hall to a drinking fountain. The water did not relieve the taste. I asked for gum but nobody had any so I went to vending machines to get some.

I have always hated the taste of liver, coffee, Brussels sprouts, and several other foods. I also can't stand sour candy or tart applies and blue or green grapes. The only grapes I'll eat are red ones, which are naturally sweet. Can't tolerate tart cherries, only sweet black cherries.

Here's Wikipedia on super tasters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster

[Ocelot II]

64. I think so, although maybe not as extreme as you.

I like regular coffee, but not espresso, and tart fruit is OK. But I really don't like the cruciform vegetables with the exception of broccoli if well cooked, and most things in the onion family. My brothers don't like onions either, so it probably is genetic.

[wnylib]

67. I like onions, so not liking them isn't related to being a super taster.

I sometimes eat an onion sandwich, which is raw onion slices on bread with ketchup. When they are cooked, onions taste sweet to me. Most kids like to add sugar to cold cereal or hot oatmeal if it is not sugar coated. As a kid, Cheerios and oatmeal tasted sweet enough to me that I did not want sugar with them.

People thought I was a "picky eater" as a child. Now I know that there is a biological reason.

[Ocelot II]

68. Onions taste extremely bitter to me, even more than Brussels sprouts.

There might be variations of super tasters. The very thought of an onion sandwich horrifies me.

[wnylib]

70. Might be due more to the type of onion.

Trust me, if you area super taster, you could not tolerate coffee no matter how it is doctored up. I remember when, in junior high, some of my friends started drinking coffee to act more "grown up." While at a friend's house, she persuaded me to have a fresh cup with her that she had just made. (Her mother was not home.)

I made a face when I tasted it and she said that I just needed to add more sugar and milk. I nearly put the entire sugar bowl into my coffee cup and still could not stand it.

I can't stand beer for the same reason. Too damned bitter, which is almost a disgrace in my mother's German immigrant family.

The intensity has mellowed a little over the years so that I have acquired a taste for small amounts of some foods that I never touched when younger.

[Ocelot II]

71. I hate all onions. I just hate raw red ones the most.

I also dislike beer.

[wnylib]

72. How are you with sour flavors?

Also, did you read the list of foods at the Wikipedia link that I posted? How do you feel about the foods listed there?

[Ocelot II]

74. Of the items on the list, the only ones I don't mind are

coffee (if a light roast), chocolate, mushrooms, licorice, and some mildly spicy foods. I don't like the rest of them, in varying degrees.

[wnylib]

77. See my number #75. Also, there might be

variations, even among super tasters. It just seems unusual to me that you can drink coffee since I react so strongly to it.

I disagree with the Wikipedia article about super tasters eating more salt than most people. I do not like too much salt. I scrape salt off of pretzels before I eat them. I have read other articles about super tasters that say that we do not like much salt, which I agree with. But I do like the mix of sweet and salty flavors.

So there are variations, apparently.

[wnylib]

75. Maybe you have more bitter taste buds than the average person, but

do not taste sweetness as easily as I do.

A super taster has a specific gene that is named in the Wikipedia article, plus additional bitter taste buds. All flavors are more intense than average for super tasters. But some people without the super taster gene can have more of the bitter (or other) taste buds than average.

[debm55]

79. I agree with you on the coffee, the smell alone makes me what to gag.

[wnylib]

80. Funny thing is, I like the smell of an open can of coffee.

Just can't stand the taste.

[debm55]

65. wnylib, your post is very interesting. I didn't know about super tasters. Thank you so much for your

Last edited Thu Feb 2, 2023, 10:46 PM - Edit history (1)

information and personal experience. I myself gag at even the smell of coffee. I leave the kitchen when he is making coffee in the morning.

[wnylib]

69. That biology class helped me understand my preferences better.

It gave me validation of what I already knew, that I was not making up my taste preferences just "to be stubborn."

Interestingly, being a super taster is more common among indigenous people than in the general population, although there are super tasters in other ethnic groups. I have some Native American ancestry through my father's family, but my mother's family were immigrants from northern Europe, so I look White, with only a few barely noticeable Native appearance traits. But I guess I got the super taster gene from my father's family.

[tblue37]

4. Okra. I actually like the taste, but can't tolerate the snotlike texture.

I also don't like bell peppers.

[VGNonly]

51. Cook okra

way down like in a soup or stew. Makes a good base with a slight peppery flavor.

[yellowdogintexas]

81. eat it fried. I hated it with a pure passion until I ate it fried/

I also use it in a Cajun stir fry. Cut it very thin and stir fry just until crispy.
I take it out of the pan and cook all the other stuff (squash, red pepper, cajun spices, tomatoes, and whatever meat I am using) then add the okra back in. Season with Worcestershire sauce instead of soy sauce. Serve over hot rice.

If you put it in soup, you have gumbo. The thinner you slice it, the less icky the texture.

When I was growing up, the only way anyone cooked it was boiled with tomatoes. It was so nasty and I would not eat it at all.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

5. Any kind of seafood/shellfish and any kind of organ meats.

I've always had an aversion to them and just won't eat them. Also many kinds of meat.

Rhubarb - hate the taste.

Oatmeal - can't stand the texture. (I do like oatmeal cookies!)

ETA: Oh yeah - any kind of blue cheese.

[debm55]

36. 50, I like cream of wheat, hate oatmeal. Funny but I like the oatmeal cookies--maybe because they

Last edited Thu Feb 2, 2023, 04:55 PM - Edit history (1)

are baked?

[50 Shades Of Blue]

50. Yeah, must be the texture of oatmeal that

riggers my gag reflex. Oatmeal cookies don't have that issue since they are solid.

[yellowdogintexas]

90. Have you tried steel cut oatmeal?

It has a totally different texture. It has 'bite' and a much more solid feel. If you know someone who eats it, get them to make some for you so you can try it out.

If you like it, buy it in the bulk bin at Sprouts, Winco or any other store that sells bulk items. I fill a bag with enough to fill the canister I use and I am good to go. It is much less expensive than the "Irish Oatmeal" from the shelf

I like all versions of oatmeal but I eat this version the most.

Additional unrelated information: If you have a store with bulk bins near you, that is where you want to buy your spices!!! I save a ton of money; I just buy exactly what I need, in smaller amounts than those tin can things or glass jars. Do not be afraid of the price per pound either! You are only going to buy an ounce or so unless it is something you use a lot. LOL Sometimes I have to toss a coin or a credit card on the scale to get enough weight to give it a price! It is very gratifying to buy bay leaves and have to really work hard to get the price up to 5 cents.

Here we have bulk spices at Sprouts, Winco, Central Market and some HEB stores. I think also Whole Paycheck but I am not certain.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

91. I've tried that kind too. It was a little better but I'll stick with the cookies, LOL!

My regular grocery store doesn't have a bulk section, wish it did! None of the three major chain grocery stores I live near do.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

6. Of course Liver, but also most seafood apart from shrimp, crab, and lobster ...

I can do a little (good quality, fresh) sashimi though, with lots of wasabi and soy. Smoked Salmon on a bagel is okay.

But most seafood i.e. anything with any real 'fishy' taste and I'm like ... yuck.

I don't think I've had fish & chips, or a tuna salad (anything) since I was like 6 yo.

[intrepidity]

8. I honestly cannot think of one. nt

[Liberty Belle]

9. Bleu or gorgonzola cheese - they taste rotten to me.

I also have a mild mold allergy, so shouldn't eat these anyhow, but never liked them even before learning that.

[yonder]

12. Same here and also Feta. Tastes like vomit smells, to me.

[yonder]

14. Same here and also Feta. Tastes like vomit smells, to me.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

21. I don't mind those two in limited quantities, and I quite enjoy BC dressing on hot wings

The one I *HATE* ... is Goat Cheese.

[elleng]

34. YES!!!

[debm55]

46. Hate gorgonzila, But like the Blue cheese as dip for fried zucchini.

[we can do it]

10. Raw tomato slices. Seeds and skin🤮

[wryter2000]

22. Tomato?

I love nothing better than a good homegrown tomato. The ones from the store taste like wet cardboard.

[we can do it]

33. Don't like big blobs of tomato. It's fine cooked, skins and seeds gone.

Seeds are disgusting.

[electric_blue68]

88. Oh, well. I didn't like raw tomatoes till my late teens, early 20's...

Till then tomato soup, ketsup, pizza sauce were fine.

[patricia92243]

13. It would be a tossup between cooked beets or spinach. The smell of either makes me sick.

[debm55]

38. I always hated the smell of cabbage cooking. Same with cooking onions.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

15. I don't like SPAM!

[link:http://

|

[hlthe2b]

20. Me either. As a teen, I had to babysit for a woman who seemed to cook nothing other than SPAM

and her entire kitchen smelled of it and the grease she cooked it in. Even the memory makes me want to wretch.

[Jilly_in_VA]

37. My either.

I had to eat it as a kid and the smell of it gags me. Spousal unit eats it and we have a deal--he only eats it when I'm out of the house and he can air the place out.

[Celerity]

112. Spam musubi (Hawai'i ) 💙

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_musubi

Spam musubi is a snack and lunch food composed of a slice of grilled Spam sandwiched either in between or on top of a block of rice, wrapped together with nori in the tradition of Japanese onigiri.

Inexpensive and portable, Spam musubi are commonly found near cash registers in convenience stores or mom-and-pop shops all over Hawaii, Guam and Hawaiian Barbecue restaurants in the mainland United States. Musubi can be easily made with the right materials, and typically only uses spam, rice, some salt, nori and shoyu (soy sauce). In Hawaii, musubi made from homemade spam is served on catering trays at formal events by celebrity chefs such as Alan Wong at his exclusive restaurants.



Why We Eat: Spam Musubi

Sheldon Simeon from Tin Roof in Maui breaks down the history of Spam Musubi. This handheld snack of seasoned spam, sushi rice, and nori is a staple in Hawaii, where it was introduced during WWII. Sheldon prepares his own Spam Musubi while recounting the historical and social shifts that led to its popularity.

[debm55]

113. Don't like the look of it, let alone the taste. gag

[hlthe2b]

16. Liver and Lima beans. Organ meats of any kind (kidneys, liver, gizzard, haggis).

Overcooked asparagus, broccoli, or brussel sprouts-properly cooked are fine

[Hugh_Lebowski]

23. Agree! (nt)

[debm55]

47. agree. with the liver and lima beans. yuk.

[electric_blue68]

87. I think if they're overcooked the sulfer compounds are pronounced

[wryter2000]

17. Milk

Cannot drink the stuff. Even when I was a little kid. My mother used to send me to school with a thermos of orange juice for milk and cookies time. We switched schools when I was in sixth grade, and they made me drink milk or I couldn't leave the cafeteria. It was torture. Why do adults make kids eat things they hate?

[hunter]

115. It's just another way to torture the kids who are "different..."

...especially the children of immigrants and indigenous people who don't include milk in their traditional diets.

An estimate of the percentage of adults that can digest lactose in the indigenous population of the Old World

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance

It's also difficult to come up with a nutritious diet for children who are something more than "picky eaters." A lot of autistic kids, for example, are very sensitive to food textures and refuse to eat things with textures they find repulsive.

My wife is lactose intolerant, which probably reflects her Native American heritage. Our children quit drinking cow's milk in grade school, favoring soy milk instead, and we didn't give them any trouble for it.

These days there's a huge selection of non-dairy milk products in our local grocery stores. That wasn't the case thirty years ago, especially when we were living in the Midwest.

[wryter2000]

116. I'm not allergic. I just hate it.

I tried almond milk once and couldn’t take it. But you’re completely correct.

[Polly Hennessey]

19. Can't think of one that I really dislike.

[Chainfire]

24. I can not eat liver. It taste horrible to me.

My mother used to cook it and I would thing she was frying steak. I don't eat any other internal organs either.

Most other foods I either like or can eat without a problem. I do think, though, that after a long life of being a milk lover, in my old age, I am not tolerating it well.

[Bootlace]

25. Marshmallows

Got to be the worst food ever.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

29. Those do suck (nt)

[yorkster]

43. In the old days...Campfire Marshmallows were delish.

Not like the ones today made outta guar gum and air, plus sugar of course.

[Ziggysmom]

28. Anything meat. Grew up on a farm, saw stockyards and processing plants inside. Carcasses

went down the line with pus and tumors in them. All got hacked up and sold to consumers. Had a neighbor who was a butcher for a grocery chain and he told me how they disguise old hamburger to make it look fresher, too.

[sanatanadharma]

31. My tastes and hates have varied over time, but my curried Okra is sublime

I, a vegetarian, am now living in a land of parrillas and asados, where carne is king and when I ask if a dish has carne, they say no, only pork or perhaps pollo.

I do make a savory stew with adobo spice and everything nice in the vegetable world, except beets. Meat, mushrooms, garlic, onions, and Sambal Oelek that I love, have all been abandoned by this aging body.

[Diamond_Dog]

32. Soft boiled eggs because they look like snot and smell atrocious

I do like scrambled, omelettes, or hard boiled eggs.

Anything pickled because I hate vinegar, I think it smells awful, too. Especially that slimy red slab of pickled beet that stains your lettuce that many restaurants put on a salad.

Ketchup and mustard. Salami. Baloney. Ugh

[debm55]

48. I agree about the soft boiled eggs. salami and baloney, I like ketchup and mustard in limited

amounts. Have found myself eating fries with no ketchup--tastes better.

[MissB]

39. Shrimp, lobster and crab

I’m allergic so I’ve convinced myself those items are repulsive.

[debm55]

41. Miss B, shrimp gives me migraines, Don't eat it, But still want it.

[yellowdogintexas]

82. if you ever have a radiology procedure which features an iodine contrast

be sure to tell them you get migraines when you eat shrimp. You could have a bad reaction when that dye is injected into your vein.

[debm55]

83. Thank you I will write that down. I think I did have that, when they thought I had a brain tumor, as

had went into the machine with a portable IV

[Jilly_in_VA]

40. Other than spam

not too much. There are some foods I don't eat for safety reasons, like raw fish. I used to love steak tartare, but no more of that. Others, like boiled okra or snails, I don't like because of the texture. Raw oysters just make me gag, but i love fried oysters and fried okra. Snails, no way, no time, nohow. I'd rather eat rubber bands, thank you. They are just slugs with a camper.

There are other things I can't eat because of intolerance, which include any soy products (other than soy sauce, which is never enough to cause problems, apparently) and anything made of soy or pea protein (Beyond, Impossible or Boca Burgers? Fugeddaboudit!) I've also become lactose intolerant since all my surgeries in 2012, but can do yogurt and cheeses in moderation and I use lactose free milk in my coffee and in cooking.

[debm55]

44. Jilly, I used to love raw oysters. But I think the medical field said not to eat them raw, so I

stopped eating them.

[Freddie]

42. Certain spices

Especially fennel and sage. Too much pepper on food.

[Lunabell]

49. Uni

Who decided that something that looks like expectorant from a lung infection is delicious? It's disgusting.

[debm55]

52. Never ate, but saw it on cooking shows and thought WTH?

[democrank]

53. Tripe

Don’t ask……

[a kennedy]

55. Lotsa noodles. I know, insane, only can eat angle hair, and long flat skinny noodles, no other

type of noodles. I think they’re gonna swell in my throat and I’ll choke to death. I know, absolutely ridiculous. Really limits my pasta intake.

[marked50]

56. Amazing how many things people here have listed that I agree with Whole Heartedly

Disgusting to me are Feta/Blue cheese and esp Liver or any internal organs. One thing that I can't eat but love are Cashews. Terrible allergic reaction.

[sinkingfeeling]

57. Eggs sunny side up and cream of pea soup. I will wat eggs and love peas, so it's the texture.

[Scottie Mom]

58. Canned peas...YUCKEY TO THE MAX!!!!!

Unless they are used in Tuna salad with lots of mayo and finely sliced/diced onion.

[Emile]

59. Cottage cheese because it taste like sour milk.

[debm55]

60. I like the small curd better then the large curd. I also like to add fruit to the small curd,

otherwise, I don't eat it.

[mitch96]

61. Same here, can't eat liver. My grandmother tried to FORCE it down my throat as a child...yuck

It looks a little gross and smells ok if cooked with bacon and onions. As soon as I get it to my mouth the gag reflects kicks in..
I can eat liverwurst but I haven't eaten it in decades...
m

[debm55]

62. Me too. mitch, I hated it. but they would always say it was good for your blood.I was always anemic

as a kid. Hid it under liver under the the mashed potatoes.

[Luciferous]

66. Green beans. Probably has something to

do with the fact that my mom only ever made canned green beans and they were so mushy and gross.

[debm55]

73. Mine too. No way do they compare with fresh green beans. I hated green beans until I tasted the

fresh ones.

[Niagara]

76. Foods on my L7 list.

Beets

Bologna

Ham

Watermelon, muskmelon, cantaloupe, honeydew

Black licorice

Raisens

Sauerkraut

Peas

White chocolate, Skittles candy and fondant icing.


I don't like any of this unedible garbage because it smells or tastes awful.

[debm55]

78. Niagara, I have some of your foods. It is not the taste, but the smell is enough to start the gag

reflex. Bologna, Black licorice, any cabbage product .coffee and chocolate. When I was younger my mother would scream at me to eat stuffed cabbage. I would pull the cabbage off and eat the stuffing inside. it's odd, but I don't have to eat it, just smell it.

[Skittles]

84. spaghetti

just fucking GROSS

[debm55]

93. I like angel haired spaghetti, but not the regular spaghetti. Plus my husband says that I cook it

until it is too soft. When he cooks, it's al dente. Which i hate.

[petronius]

85. Bananas. Because they taste like banana, which is disgusting...

[debm55]

94. petronius--no banana split? Just kidding, I don't like them when they get too soft. It's like eating

mush.

[electric_blue68]

89. No to oysters, clams, mussels, etc. No to "fishy" fish, anchovies (!) ...

etc. No salmon. Only white albacore tuna. Usually don't even like light chunk.
(love shrimp, etc)

No black (or probably any other) licorice!

Except for a good liverwurst, NO organ meats (omg!)!
Once one of my favorite older cousins had us over for Greek Easter.She served a wonderful meal! Except for...

magrietsa - special Greek Easter Soup with
little hearts, and kidneys floating in it. (gak)



Yes, I managed to eat bc I loved my cousin; her first special meal for us.. But ohhhh....

No cherries.

There's some other stuff I don't like but these are my big offenders!
Otherwise I like to looove the rest.

[debm55]

95. electric, how did you eat it with the hearts and kidneys. I think I would have passed on that soup.

I love shrimp but it gives me migraines.

[electric_blue68]

108. With a A LOT of Determination, and Love for my cousin...

😆 it was Not easy!


I just felt since she'd invited us for Greek Easter, and cooked what was the rest of a lovely meal - I had to be gracious.

She might even surprised but didn't show it bc she probably knew from my mom how picky an eater I was!

[Raine]

92. Parsley I hate it so much it's like eating grass. 🤢

just seeing that green stuff chopped up into a sauce or something makes want to hurl!

[debm55]

96. Raine, I hear ya. Most times, in soup, they place it in the center of the soup. I get my spoon and

scoop it off.

[tornado34jh]

97. I got some

I once got Udi bread just to try it (I used to get Ezekiel Bread before), and it was just a weird taste, almost like a weird cardboard taste mixed with sourdough. When I was in Europe I went and got a pizza that had blue cheese, and it was just awful tasting. Yet I do like four cheese pizzas. Any cold stuff, my teeth chatter, whether ice cream, really cold water, and the like. For a while I had Trident fish burgers. At first it was fine, but after a while, it just didn't agree with me. I still like seafood, and I do get Gortan's Fish Sandwiches every now and then, but the Trident ones had something in there that I just didn't like, and my stomach would feel weird. I didn't get sick (throwing up or diarrhea), but it was a weird feeling there. But funny enough, I haven't seen it in Publix, Target, or Walmart since then. However, sometimes it depends, because even with the foods that I do like, I could have the same thing one time and it tastes fine, other times, it's not. I guess if you do it enough times, it loses its taste. I do not like carbonated drinks, including sparkling water. Super spicy foods, I am not a fan of. I can deal with some spicy stuff, but not overly spicy, and anything that is overly greasy/too much oil I am not a fan of.

[debm55]

98. tornado, feel the same way about certain foods. When I was younger, I liked spicey, and greasy. As I

have gotten older, I have found I can't tolerate certain foods to the same degree. Moderation is the key. I had blue cheese and chicken pizza once. Did not like at all. Never tried the pizza with pineapples. The very thought of it is enough to gag me. I agree with moderation .I don't refrigerate my ice tea and I prefer water over soda. Some people might find it odd, but it is me that is drinking/eating it. Sometimes I think food products do change. One time, something is good, so the the next sale, you stock up on it with no one eating it.That pisses me off. I am more careful now on what I buy and how much I buy for the freezer. PS . tornado, I think we all go through these trials and errors about foods. It's how you know what you really like and what to avoid.

[tornado34jh]

99. Interestingly, it often happens the other way.

I used to only like American Cheese, but now I do cheddar, gouda, pepperjack, and others. I didn't like pizza and now I do. I used to only like chocolate chip cookies, but the funny thing is, I don't like oatmeal, yet I like oatmeal raisin cookies. I used to only like regular M&M's, but now my favorite is pretzel, although it can be somewhat hard to find, as I don't often see it in stores. I guess tastes change over time.

100. Yes, they do. Have you tried chocolate covered pretzels? I don't think I have seen the pretzel M&M's

around here. Chocolate gives me migraines so I have to watch how much I eat. I don't like breakfast oatmeal(gag) but love oatmeal and raisin cookies. I think it has to do with oatmeal being mushy and the cookies more solid.

101. Yes, I have

However, I have not had them in a while. The Aldi's here in Lakeland has an oatmeal raisin cranberry cookie here.

[debm55]

102. Now, that sounds good. Did you buy them?

[tornado34jh]

103. I have

However, they are not always there. However, they are building another Aldi in the south part of Lakeland, so maybe I will go there more often since the one in the north side doesn't have as frequent bus service.

104. tornado, you make make them and have an endless supply.

[tornado34jh]

105. True, although Aldi's had another one that was a mix

The cookies had pretzel bits, almonds, chocolate chips, and some other ones.

107. I like most of the foods people hate

Though I'm with you on liver. I hate it. I've in fact vomited from eating it.

[debm55]

109. temanja, liver is the worst.

[area51]

110. I can't stand liver either,

though I no longer eat meat.

114. Dark meat chicken

like chewing on rubber bands that don't taste very nice, to me. Of course the other people at my house only like dark meat and say chicken breast tastes dry to them. So we alternate.

I have had duck, but cannot imagine why anyone would like it.

[debm55]

118. Cairycat, agree hate dark meat chicken. Texture is greasy and like a rubber band. Husband loves the

d ark meat. I don't even like wings. Only part of a chicken I will eat is the breast.

119. Cottage cheese, beets, cauliflower

However, I just love liver! Nothing better.

[debm55]

120. I dislike large curd cottage cheese. You love liver????? You are a first on the thread.

How do you prepare it to get of the taste and texture?

[ironflange]

121. Dredge it in flour, fry it up quick

With bacon and onions, of course. Also, wrap chicken livers in bacon and bake them.
