I can't stand Broccoli. It's like eating perfumed Bonsai trees.

CousCous. Risotto. Humous. Salmon.
There's enough good food already, without resorting to this crap.

Peas, celery and beetroot
Wow, add carrots to this list and you've virtually got my top 4 best foods! It's a mad world intit.

Milk, butter, mayonnaise, broccoli, parsnips, liver, tongue, shellfish, amongst other things. On top of that I don't like wines or spirits - especially sherry, just a whiff of that wants to make me heave.
Bloody 'ell, that Hugh Fearnley-Whippingstool would love you! :lol:

My least favourite of all the meat products to prep. Trimming out the root and the final leaking of the last drops of liquid. Yuk.
They taste foul too.

Olives...pure evil
Agree. I bit into one once and I honestly thought someone had played a trick and put some of those scented bath balls in the bowl.
Post by: drfchound on July 07, 2015, 10:29:29 pm
I am sure i wouldn't like them.
One food i can't even bear to be near, never mind eat, is mashed potato, especially if it is swimming in gravy.

The kidney beans in chilli con carne, they remind me of the cocoons you find in the soil that insects make, mayonnaise i can only eat it if it's mixed in with say a meat with a tiny bit of it on.
Apart from that i like most things.

Kidneys. Vile, tough, horrible things.
Whelks. Too tough.
Ducks' feet. Completely minging.
Tinned fish. Basically, it's cat food. Give me a fresh tuna steak or carpaccio and I'll wolf it down but don't be passing off brine-laden feline sustenance as real food!
That's about it. I would've put sprouts on that list but I kept trying one on my Xmas dinner every year to see if my palate had changed and now I really like 'em.

Liver (although a little bit finely chopped & not overcooked I can deal with). I also like pâté so I'm a bit weird on that one.

When I was a kid we had a shellfish stall. One of my jobs was to de worm the whelks... In otherwise remove the stomach.. Yup they really are that attractive..lol.

Very astute, Wolfie. Got absolutely wasted on the stuff in Blackpool when I was 17 on the first night of a lads bank holiday weekender. Spent the saturday in the hotel room puking up. Ventured out on the sunday but ended up in a deckchair still out of it.
Happy days, eh?
Post by: Donnywolf on July 08, 2015, 12:47:46 pm
It does not seem to work with Beer though for some reason. You swear "never again" but gradually you can reacquaint yourself !
I overdid Cider as you did Pernod and it took nearly 10 years till I could bear to be near the stuff !

In my case I NEVER touched a drop of it. Nor any of its family friends. Whisky, Guinness, Rum , Brandy , Pochin, and whichever house I was in bitter ,were my downfalls.
Add Gin to my hates.

I can relate to the cider thing as I got seriously drunk on it in my student days and haven't bothered since. In the case of Pernod though, one taste was enough to put me off for life.

You need to try Strongbow Dark Fruits Cider, it'll turn you right on to cider again

Above all else them foul school dinner puddings: sago and tapioca. Jesus H! They stank like rancid sick. They looked like rancid sick. And they tasted like rancid sick gone bad. And when the goons dropped blobs of bloody raspberry jam in it... FFS! Tripe is almost as bad. My Grandma made me tripe and onions once as a special treat when I was sick in bed as a kid. f*** me! It went straight down the loo that did. What a foul stench it was.
Apart from them, I also go many miles to avoid:
CousCous. Humous. Liver. Kidney. Prawns. Bananas. Raisins. Celery. Tongue. Butter beans.
Lol. I didn't realise I was such a picky bugger.

Why they can't add a sachet of mayo for the customer to add at the end would make so much sense.
Post by: glosterred on July 09, 2015, 09:04:33 am
I dont mind mayonnaise, but you're dead right. It sneaks in everywhere these days - presumably cos its easier to spread and cheaper than any of the butter substitutes? I used to love egg sandwiches. Sad, I know. But there it is. But you try buying a plain egg sandwich these days. Every single one has been infiltrated by that bloody mayonnaise.

Only one thing I can ever remember drawing the line at.
Did some work with a French company 15 years ago. At the time of the Mad Cow crisis. British beef was banned all over the world. Had a meeting in France - Drench folk had been pissing themselves all the way through the meeting about English food. How we were shit at culinary issues.
Then we went out for dinner. Decent quality restaurant. Menu only in French and I recognised nowt. I stared at the menu for minutes trying to make sense of it. One of the French lads asked if I wanted him to order something for me. Me being proud, I told him I was perfectly competent at French and was just making up my mind what to go for. Eventually, I chose something at random and all the French lads nodded in grudging approval.
Turns out I had ordered a hollowed out pig's trotter, stuffed with pig fat and roasted.
Absolutely f**king disgusting. I had one mouthful and nearly retched. But I'd got my knackers in the game by then so I ate the whole lot.
I'm retching now just thinking about it.

Olives are lovely. So are sprouts. All seafood is gorgeous esp mussels. I could eat a plate of whelks now, with lots of black pepper and vinegar mmmm...

Jesus wept, the stench. Fair put me off beer for 48 hours.
But that wasn't the worst. We did a job a Melton Mowbray sewage works. Where the big problem was the fatbergs from the Pork Pie factory. They were floating on top of the stilling ponds. And it was mid-August
You truly do not want to know. It is one of only two occasions when I have puked at work. The other being after I got shit faced at the works Xmas do, got off with the boss's grand-daughter crawled into work the next day and spent the morning retching in the bogs.

In my original graduate profession as a civil engineer, I did work at Wards Brewery in Sheffield, building an extension to the brewery. As part of the work, I had to survey the existing buildings, including the one where they fermented the beer.

I know it is just about the most healthy food there is but I do not like it. Something about the smell or the texture, I don't like.
I will force myself to eat cod and chips now and again, it's okay but I don't relish it.
Honestly, I wish it was otherwise. I know it is good stuff but I don't like it and that s it.
