Just for fun, in the wake of yesterday’s post on picky eaters: What foods do you not like to eat?
Sure, I’ll go first. I really do not dig tomatoes. I don’t like them in sauces or stewed or any other way, really. Occasionally I’ll enjoy a tomato fresh from the garden with some salt, but I really have to be in the mood for it. And I do like ketchup on occasion. Oh, and salsa. But any other way, no thanks.
The other thing I just cannot eat is fish sticks. Eww. Bleh. Fish sticks.
So, Home Eccers, what foods do you not like?

Mushrooms are the first thing that comes to mind. I’m much more open to trying things since I became a mother.
I don’t eat
- meat that is other than well done (and no raw fish, either)
-eggs, except for hard-boiled yolks
-beets
-sauerkraut
Other than that, I have things I don’t really like but I would eat them to be polite if I was a guest somewhere, etc.
I don’t meat and seafood. I am a veggie/bread/fruit lover!
green peppers.
And only since a particularly horrid incident during my first pregnancy.
Ketchup. It’s vile. I’m an elementary school teacher and when I walk through the lunch room, I’d like to barf.
I thought I liked everything, but I went through the other comments, just to see what everyone else said.
Three things I will only force myself to eat if I absolutely MUST for courtesy or diplomatic reasons:
Miracle Whip (EWWW…though I love mayo)
Anything with an exoskeleton
Artificial cherry or banana flavoring
Now, I try just about anything, though I rarely ask what it is. The idea of eating a SNAIL made my stomach turn…then I had escargot for the first time without knowing what it was…OMG, SO GOOD! Had some properly cooked, non-rubbery squid…FANTASTIC.
My father refuses to eat liver in any way, shape or form. He insists he’s “allergic” though we all know he just hates it.
I had a party, and made my favorite chicken liver pate with cognac-soaked currants. I found Dad standing beside the pate, eating it like someone would take it away from him. He exclaimed “This stuff is GREAT! What is it?” I refused to tell him until the next day, just so amused to watch him eat serving after serving.
When I was a kid, my mom had a sign hanging over the kitchen table that read, Try It You'll Like it. (But you have to read it in a whiny little kid voice). We always had to try wahtever she made, if we didn't like it, cereal, PB&J, or starve. There are 7 years between kids 2 and 3, and 10 between 1 and 3, so the third one got lots of weird food very early. We still joke about the time #2 gave #3 vanilla ice cream at 5 months, and got in trouble because she was too young. So he took it away and she threw a fit!____My grandfather ate pretty much anything, and his philosphy was to bring me something say try this, and after I ate and liked it, then tell me what it was. Chicken liver, squid, and tongue come to mind (liked the first 2 not the 3rd). Now I'm 32 and the only things I absolutely won't eat are anchovies and salmon (unless its smoked).
