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.

Water, pop, alcoholic beverages, milk, pretty much any drink.

What do you live on cheesecat? Breastmilk?



me so stupid.

Can't? Or won't?

I can eat everything as far as I'm aware (I don't have any allergies to anything that I know about), but I won't eat stuff like apricots, mushrooms (this has become less of an issue with maturity, but I still can't really eat them raw or where they're the dominant flavour), celery, liver (specifically lamb's liver, since that was the one we used to have, and I'm fine with stuff like chicken liver paté), and mashed potato (not a texture thing, I just hate the taste of it as opposed to other forms of cooked potato; fried mashed potato is fine, though) because I don't like their tastes.

Aside from stuff like that, I don't have any grievances about combinations or textures, or things to that effect.

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 don't like nuts of any kind, I will eat Peanut Butter(smooth only) however.

I also dislike fish, except for Tuna.

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.

This is largely the same for my fiancee. Weird.

I stopped drinking soda a while back and am no longer a fatty. Fatties that are reading this take note.

Also, I can't eat pineapple. I LOVE pineapple, but I've sadly developed allergies and they cause me to break out. (Sad Face)

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.

I did refuse to eat a camel spider though.

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.

Oh, spinach as well feth spinach I hope a new form of bacteria or virus comes and wipes that plant from the Earth.

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 can eat ANYTHING.

Anything.
Here, Have some rusted bolt nuts.

Wash them down with some Anti-freeze too. it tastes just like Gatorade.

Also, peas make me vomit uncontrollably. I just can't eat them.

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 hate zuchini so much

My stomach follows the approximate rules for what can't go in a garbage disposal.

There's a fine line between hardcore and stupidity......

As for those who like MRE's....live on them for a couple months.....I will not turn down MRE bread though. Those little package of evil goodness.....

That looks like fun.

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.

I do not drink soda anymore either, Have not for 3 or 4 years now.

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

Tomatoes and mushrooms. Yeah on other foods they are fine but...

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.
