I'm also ultra sensitive to liquids that have Nutrasweet in them, it smells and tastes beyond bitter. If it's used in a solid food I don't notice it as much but in any sort of liquid it's horrible and even sitting across the room from an open can or glass of diet soda makes me feel slightly queasy. (Jello is still liquid enough to trigger it) On average my sense of smell is really bad and I don't notice most scents but that one stands out particularly strong for some reason.

I've a similar reaction to the taste of Stevia the plant based sweetener, vile, vile stuff although most folk don't notice it in food or drink I always do, awful (Coke Life = Death)

Asparagus tastes great but it does make your urine really stink the next day

Sprouts (and cabbage, kale etc) taste bitter to me, but that's part of their charm

Chicory coffee down in New Orleans...mmmmmm.

Yeah, a spoonful of ground? chicory in coffee is good. Wife doesn't like it, though.

Eggs do have that nasty sulfur smell to me. Can't stand them. I eat them in fried rice, cookies, waffles, etc...but you won't catch me eating an omlet. Ever.

Too those who would get Rid of Mushrooms, What would you put on pizza then?

I would like to change my vote to beans.

Mostly so we can finally get rid of the abomination that is refried beans. Who really wants dirt tasting mush on their food?

I know this is obnoxious, and I hate it when people say it to me, but here I go anyway: "You obviously haven't had good refried beans."

There. I said it. Sorry.

What's with the avocado and refried bean hate? Is this some regional discrimination?

It's hard to have good refried beans when no such thing exists.

Personally I dislike avocado but my girlfriend would murder me if I made it extinct so yeah... avocado can stay!

Dread winter, how do you even burrito? No fajitas? No tostada?

Are you just talking refried pinto beans, or refried black beans as well?

I can't stand the texture of beans. Flavor is fine, but texture sucks. I just order burritos without them. Plenty of rice, meat, and fixings.

I'm curious how many people in this thread also hate eating fish.

I can respect that. And I can sympathize. The texture thing is weird and inexplainable, at least when it comes to me and my loathing for tomato seed mung. Same thing with bell peppers on pizza. I love bell peppers. I love pizza. Put them together and I feel like I'm eating spiders.

Still, I don't think I could eat a burrito that was missing such a key ingredient. It would be like eating a pastrami sandwich without mustard.

Any beans. The texture is terrible and it tastes like mud. I have tried it multiple times thinking maybe I missed something. Every time I throw whatever I was eating away around halfway through after choking down as much as I can.

Beans on a fajitas is blasphemy in my opinion, I understand them being a staple on a burrito, but you keep your disgusting beans away from my fajitas!

PS: I love fish

Refried beans are second best beans. Best beans are in my Red Beans and Rice, with sausage, onions, bell peppers, a bit of jalapeno, and chicken broth.

I'm hungry.

Broccoli is definitely on that list. I can eat any other vegetable, even bitter melon (yes, it taste exactly as it sounds).

My problem with broccoli is that it doesn't matter how it's cooked, it always seems to burn my mouth. I've never ran into another person who has had this issue.

Not even cheese, the heroin of foods, can make me eat it. Without fail, the roof of my mouth will be burned.

That sounds more like an allergy.

Brussels. fething. Sprouts.

Taste like absolute gak. The only way I've heard someone tell me to make them taste better is to drown them in balsamic vinegar and bake them. After which, they taste like balsamic vinegar, which isn't making the sprout itself taste better, just replacing the taste.

+1. Whoever decided those things were edible needs to have painful things done to them.

(Also, broccoli is more closely related to cauliflower than sprouts.)

@DarkTraveler777: Try heart-of-palm. It has similar taste and texture to artichoke hearts (less bitter, and depending on preparation saltier), but without the splinters.

Brussels sprouts *gag*, cauliflower *hurk*, lima beans *twitch* ocra, kale, eggplant...I eat artichokes maybe once a year or less but give me a jar of artichoke hearts and I'm a happy panda.

I've never heard of getting splinters from artichoke hearts. Do they grow wood shards in their flesh or something?

If the hearts aren't cleaned properly there are little barbs in there that can get caught in your mouth/throat

Uh, the same thing I always want on pizza: meat, meat, more meat, and still MOAR MEAT!!!

BobtheInquisitor wrote:What's with the avocado and refried bean hate? Is this some regional discrimination?

Avocados, as I said in my post earlier, can go to fething hell, but I actually will stick up for refried beans. I love me some beef n' bean burritos!

Beef and avocado pizza is pretty amazing.

You have not lived until you have had a COLD mushroom and olive pizza.

You lost me at olive.

Nobody, hopefully, because they're objectively wrong and should be ashamed.

I love fish. I just dont get it that often outside of its fried form sadly. I love BBQ salmon.

Barf. Hate mushrooms and olives. But olive oil is a necessity to live.
Sounds like a pizza that should skip my mouth and be dunked directly into the toilet.

LoL, this is like how my co-worker was surprised I didnt eat rice for every meal and I considered a sandwich a meal not a snack
Its just so funny how you forget other people like food you dont

My best friend loves mushroom pizza. He's like the awesomest guy ever. But even he can have terrible taste and a "wrong" pallet by liking mushrooms.
