Reply #81: Mine aren't in order

Since I will eat most of them so long as they are prepared well, but I may still gag :O some are shamelessly stolen from previous posters, since their lists have jogged my memory.

Cooked green peas (love them raw, hate them cooked)
Lima beans
Brussel sprouts
most wild meats/venison
Canned salmon
Cow tongue (my grandmother used to make this)
Liver (only tried once. That was enough)
Maraschino cherries or fake flavored cherry anything
Shredded dried coconut
Olives - I heard these were an acquired taste so I try them every so often to see if I like them. I don't.
Eggplant
any sushi with seaweed wrap. I think I'm allergic. The fishy smell from the seaweed makes me wheeze.
Black licorice
Real mincemeat (blech!!)
Dates
most packaged 'snacks' for kids. My kids take them for lunch. I don't mind buying some of the sweeter kinds as a treat for them because I know *I* won't be touching them.
Dry wine. I hate it. Will only drink sweet and bubbly stuff.


There are a lot of foods I once hated that I now enjoy. Beets are one - pickled baby beets are very good for all you haters (lol) out there. I make my own borscht now and drown it in dill and sour cream and it's divine. I used to hate sweet peppers, but love them now. Especially grilled. yum. Zucchini was something I went from hating to loving quickly as an adult. I like cherry pie now, so long as the cherries are fresh, none of the canned pie filling shit. Loooooove curry now too, didn't like it as a kid. When my mom would sit me in front of my cooked green peas she would always make me eat them, saying, "When you are an adult, you will like them." Well, I grew to like other things, but still hate those peas! lol.
