Foods You Hate

[3catwoman3]

68. Relatively short list for me.

Liver - blecchhh! My mom didn't like it either, but used to serve it because it was supposed to be good for you. One time she tried to tell me it was fish, which she knew I liked - worst tasting "fish" I ever ate. I do like liver wurst.

Fig Newtons - I ate way too many one time when I was 14, with dire gastrointestinal consequences. I am now 66, and haven't touched one since.

Acorn squash - the texture makes me gag.

Bananas - another texture thing.

Any canned vegetable.

Any creamed vegetable, especially if it was canned before it was creamed. Cream of vegetable soup is especially vile. My mom would send it in my thermos for school lunch. I was always tempted to dump it in the cafeteria trash, but I was somehow sure she would know I had done that, so I would gag it down.

Powdered milk - in an attempt to cut down on the cost of all the milk my brother and I drank, my mom would buy powdered milk and mix it half and half with regular milk. That technique did not disguise the chemical taste.

Egg salad sandwiches - we used to assemble a week's worthy of school lunch sandwiches every Sunday night, and my mom would freeze them with the plan that they would thaw by lunchtime without spoiling. Egg salad on white bread does not thaw in a pleasing fashion - really soggy and gross.

A triple whammy school lunch would have been an agg salad sandwich, cream of veg soup, and the milk mix.


I love sushi, but completely agree with the person upthread who does not care for uni/sea urchin. It felt furry in my mouth, and tasted terrible.
