Olives....I hate olives.

I'll add olives to the my list as well.

I can't stand olives or tomatoes.

Tofu.

Seriously though, whomever invented tofu should burn in hell. The texture is just vomitus inducing, and the smell from it....ugh.

That's probably cause you're eating it raw put some sauces, spices or oil on it and cook it over a frying pan and it can be quite nice.

Another olive hater here.

Mashed Potato. The texture makes me gag.

Try hot and sour soup? We need to clarify the mashed potatos...we talking instant or homemade mash potato's?

I will never understand vegemite or marmite. Although, I've been told that I'm eating it the wrong way.

Cheesecat, I have tried it with chilli sauce, soy sauce, veges and oyster sauce. I can't stomach the stuff.

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

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.

Asparagus... It smells like a pub toilet at 3 AM.

Oh, forgot about miso, or at least the base miso stock. That stuff is vile. Funnily enough i think it tastes alot like Olives.

Actually had to look fennel up. Seems like an onions...

It's nothing really like an onion... More like celery fused with licorice.

Indeed, there's tons of it growing wild around here. Pesky little weed.

Has anyone mentioned peas? Peas are the devil. Beans that haven't been refried are equally bad.

Also, polenta.

Polenta is REALLY rich-tasting, i find it difficult to eat more than a small amount. Its quite nice though.

Oh the WORST foodstuff imaginable for me is olive tapenade.

Just proof you should NEVER dare a SERE grad to eat a bug, we'll always do it.

Ah, fond memories of experiencing the taste of rabbit eyeballs for the first time, coming back in a flood.

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?

That as well.

I also really, really hate hummus.

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.

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.

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.

Same here, but with me it was the MSG in the original recipe.

I had scallops once. They were OK.

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.
