I've noticed alot of people on the forums seem to have issues with food texture and things like that so i thought i'd ask...
What can't you eat (allergies/intolerances not counted)
For me it's meat and fruit, i just hate the combination , i think it may be due to growing up on terrible apricot chicken.
Also dairy products and fruit...bleh.
Soda, other fizzy drinks, things high in sugar. They make me feel sick. I also hate either just tomatoes, if they're with something it's fine, but otherwise bleh.
Also spicy foods. Even if something is even moderately spicy.
Once I get out of high school I'll be going vegetarian (aside from maybe fish, for health reasons). I just don't have enough options to go vegetarian right now though. I've almost entirely cut beef out of my diet though.
Edit: Also, for some reason almonds make me feel horribly sick, as can sushi sometimes. Very odd, as I used to like both of those foods and then they suddenly started making me feel sick whenever I so much as smelled them.
I will not eat mussels (they're like swallowing a gob of snot filled spit), brussels sprouts (taste like complete gak) or dates (due to my parents telling me they were dead cockroaches when I was a child).
I have trouble eating some various types of lettuce unless it's on a sandwich, the only exception really being iceberg/crisphead lettuce. Any other has a weird taste and texture that for some reason being wrapped in bread fixes for me.
Outside of those, I'll eat litterally any food. I'm big on trying new things. Any resteraunt my fiancee and I go to, I'll look for things I've never eaten on the menu, while she largely looks for familiar dishes. A good example is last time we were out I ate Camel, simply because it was on the menu and I'd never eaten Camel before.

Having eaten every MRE, and haji weirdo foodstuff ( including a milk drink that never goes bad...) and spent way to many years on military chow, there really isn't any food I won't take at least a bite out of if hungry enough.
Funny I remember MRE's to be good.
But there are three things i cant eat.
Asparagus, Brussel Sprouts and Artichokes.
And those are the onl thing my family ever makes.

Food makes you break out in a sad face, that's terrible :(
Loki i also can't eat mussels unless they are smoked after eating a fresh one and it fell open revealing some strange almost hairy tube inside it. WTF is that! However smoking them apparently removes the weird hairy tentacle making them safe for me to eat
I dislike mushrooms, zucchini (except in chocolate zucchini cake), cabbage, Brussels sprouts and tomatoes (at least by themselves I don't mind them if they're mixed with other flavours).

you just named two of my favourite vegetable. Do people cook brussel sprouts wrongly? They are like super cabbages! Pick the small ones peel em, bang them in the oven with some butter and watever else and BAM a full dish of awesome (but remember kids DO NOT[u] overcook them).
Ignore my brussels rant i just love all of the cabbage family.I think people must cook the cabbage family wrongly, undercooking is the key here, hell cabbage is great fried even.
CABBAGE FOREVER!
Don't like Asparagus, cabbage, spinach, or brusselsprouts.
I love MRE's though. I also can't stand caviar, root beer floats, actually any kind of root beer in general except for Barq's and Virgil's (A&W is ok, I guess), I gag at bleu cheese, and I'm not big on steak, I'll eat it, but I find it too tough and bland compared to other meats. I also am not real big on sweet foods either.
I absolutely crave anything sour or tasty-spicy, though (by tasty spicy I mean like spicy stuff that has flavor, like Cholula chile lime or Fuego Takis).
And by crave sour stuff I mean I will literally chug capers out of the bottle and drink whole jars of pickle juice. I also LOVE fruit.
I am allergic to peanuts, all tree nuts, and most legumes, though the legume thing seems to be of fluctuating intensity; for example, I ate some lentil curry a couple months ago and was fine, at some chili with kidney beans a few months prior to that and had a miserably sore throat for a while. Peas and green beans seem to be 100% OK.
As for won't eat, I really do not like seafood in general. Also don't like bananas.
Also, I love spinach and cheesecat is now officially my sworn enemy.
EDIT: Come to think of it, I don't like most fruit; grapes, apples, and pears are OK, as are fruit juices and jellies and blueberry muffins.

Those are probably what are called 'beards' and are supposed to be manually removed before eating (a process called debearding). The only reason smoking them removes the beard is that the people smoking them probably already did that part for you.

I'm not talking about the beard, that's different and much less tentacley.
Whatever this was it was inside the muscle and quite solid. My parents response when i complained about it "eat it" i then ate it and put it with all the other culinary travesties I'd been forced to eat ( the tongue in it's natural state, the vomit lasagne and all my mothers other special creations)
I can not eat fish sticks. I hate the taste of Fish Oil so I do not eat fish at all.
I tried Mahi Mahi once it was in Hawaii, really fresh and it was not horrible, but I could still taste the fish oil a little, I could probably get used to fresh Mahi Mahi, but nothing else.
I also do not eat Broccoli, Cauliflower, Squash, Peas, Cooked Spinach (I like raw Spinach) Basically I do not eat anything that smells bad when you cook it, like the aforementioned items.
kronk wrote: I stopped drinking soda a while back and am no longer a fatty. Fatties that are reading this take note.

Did not lose any weight, so your assertation is at least partially incorrect.

Yeah, Soda alone isn't the cause of weight gain. Its fat in your diet. Although they can prevent you from losing weight simply by the calories.
I can't eat Kentucky Fried Chicken. There is some ingredient, something in the oil, I don't know, but it causes my stomach to completely lose control of itself a few hours later; in a fashion so graphic it can't be repeated in polite company, but it is unique among foods in that regard.
So your saying Ouze you might have a very loud explosive situation or feeling like your launching yourself in orbit and holding on to anything solid connected to the floor......question though....when this happens....do you breathe through your mouth or nose?
or
puking? I seriously hope not. One of the few things I won't wish on a insurgent....that and chemo therapy.
I have no problem with what they are, just can't stand the taste or the texture.
There's also a horrible thing called the 'Papua New Guinea Bean' (probably has another name, as I can't find it on google...)... We had them growing in the garden for a while when I was a teenager. Although when I say 'in the garden'I actually mean that they briefly over most of the southern hemisphere... They grow on a creeper vine like a pumpkin, that grows really quickly, and the beans grow to around 3 foot in length. When fried, they taste kind of like the way mice smell. But because the alternative was to die a horrible and slow death as they slowly invaded the house, we ate them fairly solidly for several months.
If I never have to eat them ever again, I'll die happy.
1) Liver. stuff makes my mouth itchy and I hate it.
2) Canned spinach. Texture and smell mixed makes me gag.
3) Chicken flavored cup ramen. I ate it for three years, twice a day, When I was homeless. Makes me puke now.
Other than that, I can eat anything I can choke down.

Ouze i have the same problem with KFC. My problem is something to do with my liver not processing the oil properly. So if your problem is anything like mine then it might be worth going to a doctor and having it checked out to make sure it's not a warning for something worse down the road.
The "food" on this barge I'm on right now. I think I've lost 10 kg in the 8 weeks I've been here.
Otherwise, I despise brussel sprouts, peanut butter and mushrooms, and don't care for chinese food, though I do eat the latter occasionally.
Pretty much anything else I can devour with gusto.
I also have pretty much stopped drinking soda. I have not lost weight. Then again, that may have something to do with having replaced it with beer :-D .
I dislike mushrooms and brussel sprouts. I love diced/chopped tomatoes, but can't stand sliced or whole. Similarly, I go through a lot of orange juice, but dislike the texture of actual oranges. The exact opposite holds true for apples.
On a whole, I dislike butter on my veggies.
As far as what I can't eat, spicy food in general just gives me a bad time (except for wasabi, that stuff is just awesome), which sucks, since I really like spicy food.
Really greasy food can also have a bad effect on me.
Celiac disease runs in my family, so I may have to watch out for that in the future, but as it stands, I attribute my poor tolerance to most food simply to being from a weak stomach, since my reactions tend to be pretty eratic.
There's only two ways to make spicy food, in spite of or in deference to, the weakest person in the house.
Option two really isn't an option. Bring the heat!

Can't drink coffee anymore-it burns my chest going down. I have to find ways to substitute it-chocolate covered espresso beans, possibly iced coffee (haven't tried this yet) but it recently started happening. Soda before bed is also bad, and Coke and Pepsi are usually no-no's, but those new Kickstart Mt. Dew breakfast drinks don't bother me. Weird. But no foods cause me allergies, so there are just a few foods I can't get down. I can't eat eggs as a main food-put them in cookies, pancakes, or fried rice, and they go down easy. Anything else, no way. I can't handle the smell, and I choke. Mushrooms are disgusting, and anyone who thinks they were a good idea should have been excommunicated from Earth. Same goes for all you brussels sprout haters out there: those are the most delicious veggies on the planet. Throw them in balsamic vinegar, chopped garlic, then put them on the grill (in a tinfoil boat). They'll be the most amazing veggie you've ever had and you'll thank me.

I can't drink Tequila anymore....It makes me violently ill. Also Southern Comfort has much the same effect on my stomach, this is due to an overindulgence of both these drinks when I was young and stupid....
Food wise? I'm easy when it comes to food. I can't eat Balut though. I've tried it and it just doesn't work for me. For those of you unfamiliar with this Philippine 'Delicacy', here is what Wikipedia have to say...
Shellfish with the exception of scallops, which are amazing in a creamy masala sauce. Insect based cuisine just turns my stomach - particularly those big witchetty grubs that burst and unleash a torrent of yellow liquid on the diner's chin; man I hope I'm never that hungry.
There's plenty of stuff I probably wouldn't eat, but the only thing I'm supposedly unable to eat is beetroot, as I am, by all accounts allergic to it. I had it when I was younger, didn't like it, and it brought me out in a rash.
I know this sounds vague, but as I hate beetroot, I don't eat it, so can't prove or disprove my allergy to it, although the very smell of it makes me want to puke, so there may be something to it.
I usually only avoid foods I can't eat (intolerances, mostly. Like raw tomato - there's an amino acid in raw tomato that disagrees with me).
It's pretty much why I'll avoid Thai, Malay, Indian, Indonesian foods. Usually it's one of the spices that makes the whole dish inedible to me - and having it without it changes the dish flavour balance so that it doesn't work either.
Bourbon makes me hurl. Doesn't matter if it's rough as guts backyard hooch or the "good stuff". Even "American Honey" (lauded by many of my mates as manna from heaven) makes me hurl. It's not as bad a reaction as normal, but it still happens.
Irish and Scotch Whisky/Whiskeys however, do not have this effect unless I have consumed waaaaaay too much. Bourbon - it's one shot and goooooone.
I'm not allergic to anything but the texture of mayonnaise does not amuse me. I'm not a fan of seared tuna either, much to my wife's delight it means more for her
Cook them up in some bacon grease, then chop up the bacon and add. I hated brussels sprouts until I tried them this way
kronk wrote: I stopped drinking soda a while back and am no longer a fatty. Fatties that are reading this take note.
My wife said the same thing, I'll usually have unsweetened iced tea if we're out now. I can't say if that makes a difference for me or getting up in the morning and working out does
I used to avoid any and all vegetables, this has changed in the past 2 years, and even more so in the past 6 months. The biggest thing is smell, if it smells like fermented ass, I won't eat it, which was my biggest issue with vegetables, I would get "steamed" veggies, which when over cooked smell like butthole...
I'm not allergic to anything, so I'll eat pretty much anything...
I think for the most part I'll try almost anything, except testicles... I have no intention on eating balls...

American honey is sodding awful, it's more like rosewater than bourbon...
Not in stuff, but cooked, like hard boiled or fried egg. It's the texture, makes me want to hurl chunks.
Yummy, more for me
When we were little, my brother and I loved dippy egg and soldiers. We worked out a deal where I'd get both my egg and his first and eat the yolks and he'd get both eggs after for the whites, which he preferred.
My wife despairs of me now when we have a breakfast out and I 'perform surgery' on a fried egg to get the yolk onto toast or hash browns and dispose of the white.
I HATE olives and pickles in any form. I can eat tomatoes if they're cooked/mixed with other food (like chili, spaghetti, or kebabs), but I can't stand raw tomatoes.
Edit - I don't have any known food allergies, but I just can't stand the taste and texture of those three. Everything else is okay with me.

I'll drink damn near anything, but I can't stomach Rumple Minze. I had one terrible night drinking it, and now the smell just makes me gag. I can drink whiskey, but I avoid it since it turns me into ignorant donkey cave.
Anyway, I loathe watery food. All of my food needs texture and flavour. Plus I hate meat with spices added in.
My dad has the beetus, and while it's not prevalent so much anymore, a sweet here or there wasn't bad... just gotta watch the sugar spikes and you'll be fine!
Most veg makes me gag and I can't deal with spice. I also cannot eat eggs, only ever ate them when my grandma made them, when she died I stopped eating them completely. Overall I am a really fussy eater and drinker.
There's not much I can't eat (So far, but I've yet to encounter truly horrific things)
there's a lot i won't eat because I'm a bit picky.
If we're talking about drinks then Tequila is the foulest substance in the world. I'll still drink it though because I refuse to let it beat me...

As for Cactus and their spikes....Gawd made cactus but the Satan...maybe the Ori....could be any of the Goa'uld....The Centari might have been capable...maybe the aldorians could have done it....any how....the spike is the challenge
Olives, Rye Bread and any 'juicy' fruit, apart from oranges, Lemons/lime and Apples in case you class them as Juicy. Mango is probably my least favourite foodstuff. Forgot abput 'Celeriac', shredded/processed it's okay but chunks in a stew? Boke-tacticular.
There are loads of things i'd rather not eat but that's not really the point. There are also some compulsive eating habit kinda things, for example i HATE touching blocks of cheese with my bare hands.
I LOVE brussel sprouts, the only problem is that the farts they contribute towards are in their own subcategory of Revoltitude.

I'm not sure; I think I've only tried squid from that part of the seafood menu, and I was ok with it. Is it the arms of the cuttlefish or the mantle that are generally eaten, or both?
I generally don't eat seafood at all apart from prawns and the occasional langoustine. I had scallops once. They were OK. I'm also really fussy about cheese - has to be really mild, and it MUST be melted. Also, I hate savoury cream sauces (like bechamel or whatever is in a prawn cocktail) when they are cold. Just a weird thing I have.
I live on a diet of mainly meat. I have texture problems with lots of vegetables, instant gag reflex. Yet I am capable of putting a finger down my throat without flinching, because feth logic.

Logic... finger = meat
Besides which, I can't stand most fish and a lot of shellfish. Notable exceptions are shrimp, squid,eel and crawdads. I can tolerate some stuff but the smell alone usually makes me nauseated. I also dislike nori on sushi. Same thing. Smells and tastes atrocious. I wish people wouldn't hound me when I don't want to eat their stuff (and I try, hence why I enjoy certain things). The worst is "you've never had fresh fish". I've traveled to both coasts of the US and grew up on a river, watching people pull out fish and fix them up in front of me. Not interested.
I also can't drink most gins, anything too heavy on the juniper, since a .. rough night... way back in college. Other than trying to chug a bottle of cheap gin and waking up to a yield sign in my bathroom, was a pretty fun night.

Fish is meat too if you ask me. "it's not meat cause it swims" is dumb.
As for drinks... I will never drink Tequila ever again in my life after taking about 8 shots in as many minutes. Martini is also a no go after a mates birthday part where we drank a bottle each, then went clubbing/pubbing and then drank another bottle when we got back. Projectile vomiting yourself to sleep is pretty bad.
For me it's mushrooms, olives, and fish/seafood. With mushrooms and olives, I just cannot get past the texture - they just feel disgusting on my teeth. With fish and seafood, it's that little taste that seems to come attached to anything that comes out of water. It almost makes me gag trying to get over it.
My won't eat list right now is about 3.5 items long. the .5 comes into I will eat fromage de tete in small amounts but not large slices. Its a texture thing on that.
As for flat out will not eat... Cantaloupe, Oysters and Durian.
I do not like Cantaloupe and will pass up mixed fruit if it is a componant. I might pick out the pineapple in said mixed fruit but that is only because it has a strong enough flavor to kill the evil that is cantaloupe.
Oysters are something I have given two attempts at. I tried them fried as a kid and didn't like them. about 20 years later I figured I might as well reevaluate them and split a dozen on the half shell with my girlfriend one night. I got extremely sick off my half dozen and vowed never again.
Durian isn't that common... thankfully. It is a SE asian fruit that has such a strong smell that most hotels and public transportation don't allow it in them in that region. I just tried it this past weekend. It is one of those extreme foods you hear about. It smels like rotting onions. It tastes like vanilla, Cantaloupe, and OMGWTF. Yes... that is about the best way I can describe the third taste going on... OMGWTF. The fact that it has that cantaloupe taste though was enough to make me spit it right the hell out.
Sushi, had a bad bout of food poisoning from it and it was the fresh stuff, not those ****ty convience packages. The second one is KFC, had a leg that hadn't been cooked properly, since then I've gone off KFC.
I have a complicated relationship with eggs. I was always a very fussy eater when I was a child but once and I can always remember my mother was feeding me some boiled egg and I have always liked egg, but that time I swallowed..... then just threw it all back up and since then I have never been able to eat egg properly. I can eat it fine but now its just wierd, there's no love in the taste, only sadness.
Interesting, the only time I have issues with tofu is when it's pretending to be something other then tofu, stir fry and miso soup in particular are excellent tofu applications
Seriously though, whomever invented tofu should burn in hell. The texture is just vomitus inducing, and the smell from it....ugh.
Which just reminded me of one of the worst dishes in the history of Man: Miso soup... most Japanese restaurants that I've been to serve it with mushrooms (which are horrible, I grew up next to a mushroom plant) and tofu... 2 strikes right there.
Celery, and that's about it. Anything else is just an ingredient. Carrots in chicken soups are just that, but put celery in and it becomes celery soup with chicken; that intrusive flavor overwhelms everything, simultaneously obnoxiously pungent and dishwater bland.
Seriously Progresso, who the hell put celery in clam chowder? Have you ever been in the same room as a New Englander?
Soladrin wrote: Asparagus... It smells like a pub toilet at 3 AM.
Honestly the main reason I like asparagus is because when I tried it I was really young and was told that it makes your pee smell funny so I started wolfing down tons of it to see if I would have strange smelling urine so nowadays I'm used to the taste.

Same here, but with me it was the MSG in the original recipe.
Scallops begin to lose their flavor after they're shucked. The frozen China Bay ones you get in most restaurants aren't worth buying. One of the only great things about my city is that you get them straight off the boat, and fresh New Bedford scallops are waaaaay better than lobster, no bs.

If you're doing anything other than thiny scraping vegemite on buttered toast, you're doing it wrong. If you are doing that, and don't like it, you're one of many who are unfortunate enough to not appreciate how awesome vegemite is.
Marmite, promite and every other *mite are sins against mankind, however.
