Foods, Spices, Herbs - Which ones are on your hate list? I HATE cloves and ricotta cheese. I'm sure

Yeah, my mother overcooked everything! Ya know, I never cook frozen peas - otherwise,

they get mushy. I wonder why after thawing, they have a cooked texture, certainly not a raw texture, like the fresh ones I used to eat from the pods. (How come you never see those in the supermarkets anymore)? Anyway, after thawing, I just toss them into whatever dish I'm making until just heated through. I never eat them as a plain side dish.
Interesting about the canned ones though - maybe if I get the courage, I'll check them out again, although the psychological damage from my childhood is pretty deep!

 
Can't stand black-eyed peas, don't like cooked salmon...

I like small amounts of gravlox, but once you've applied heat to that salmon, keep it off my plate.
Black-eyed peas just taste like dirt, pure and simple.
I also can't get catfish past my lips, it has a bottom-of-the-pond flavor that just doesn't do it for me.

Other than that, right now, I can't think of too much that I won't eat.
I love liver, just about any vegetable (please no canned peas, though), pretty much anything else I've tried.

 
I think we may have devised a new diet plan, customized to your own personal DISLIKES!

Huh, what do you think? Any individual who wants to lose weight makes a list of ALL the foods they DISLIKE. Then they build a week's worth of meal plans USING that LIST!

It's brilliant! Why didn't I think of this sooner. Instead of eating ice cream (Moose Tracks!) and dark russet salt/pepper chips and warm chocolate pudding (by the way, thanks again Meryl!)---my daily diet would consist of:

Breakfast:
Gag-reflexing fresh cantelope
Sulfuric-smelling soft-boiled eggs
Pre-packaged preservative-laden spongy crumpets

Lunch:
My mother's Pasta Fagoli (burnt onions, bitter tomato paste, over-cooked macaroni, water and kidney beans)
Oily, smelly fish with lots of bones
Slimy greens with raw onions and garlic

Dinner:
Lima Beans in Aspic
Citron and black licorice in anything
Liver (substitute any body organ here) which somehow manages to produce both tough, yet mealy and mushy-tasting sensations on the tongue.
Served with beer.

NOTE: the European version of salty, black licorice is particularly disgusting and can save one countless calories merely by the residual taste left on the tongue. I mean, really, what were they thinking: "umm, this doesn't taste bad enough...let me think...Oh! I've got it. I'll burn what little taste buds they have left with salt to sear in the memory. That'll do the trick."

(I believe I may have "shivered" away a few calories just by writing this.)

 
Eeeww, ice cream topped with bananas... not that I HATE it, just that I could

really take them or leave them, and considering how I love desserts, that's wierd, I know.

 
'Thought of more: fish skins, liver (never had it, but the thought), Survivor foods

(as in Jeff Probst: hearts, brains, raw-anything, intestines - shudder), and the look of beets. Too red. And my son reminds me... "blue food!"

 
I love it! Good 'n' Plenties were my favorites, and Black Crows - does anyone remember those?

They were like Dots, but I'm not sure if they even make them anymore. Good ol' movie theater food!

 
Snails, overly fishy tasting/smelling things, undercooked poultry, octopus, offal, jellyfish, ...

...things too "tribal" (pork blood soup, preserved chicken hatchlings, food and drink made by others chewing it first, etc.), cheeses like limburger (so smelly I can't get it close enough to my mouth to eat), most shellfish on the shell. That's all I can think of.

I'm not picky.

Pickled eggs, pickled pigs feet, family members love this. Blood Sausage,

a friend just off the plane from Ireland made me an "Irish Breakfast" what a treat at 8 am. I still gag thinking about it!

 
why is it that swiss cheese has the holes while it's limburger needs the ventilation?
