Foods You Hate

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

200. Don't be sad, the earth offers many many alternatives

The Bs & Cs-
These two have tastes that I don't care for either raw or cooked.

Spinach-
I should have been more specific here. I add baby spinach to my raw salads. I view this as a healthy and more palatable option. It is the standard cooked affair which I find objectionable for reasons of texture, odor and taste.

Sorry no BS for me-
It is mostly based on odor; I can't get by that smell at all.

Liver-
Why do I avoid thee/Let me count the reasons. Liver and onions smell so bad. I had a short bout of anemia as a child and was basically forced to eat it. About 3 out of 4 times I ate it, I began vomiting and it was clear this wasn't going to work.

Eggs-
Let's not go there. They were another childhood aversion of which the texture became a vector for the queasiness to set in. I have overcome this enough to be very comfortable cooking them and the wife claims my omelettes are chef quality.

Bone-in meats-
This is complicated. Of course we have whole chickens and turkeys. Pork chops and steaks are not foods I have issues with. My problem here is an economic one. I consider the ration of waste to consumable food when choosing a cut of meat. For simplicity, I tend to avoid expensive cuts that include bones because of the complicated considerations of determining portion size.

We sometimes grind our own meat for some dishes and find the flavor is often superior and money is always a consideration.

As for other foods, we love various eggplant dishes including baba ganoush. We also have family recipes for stuffed celery, cucumber and onion salad and tabbouleh.

Fish and shellfish are favorites here such as cod, crab, clam, flounder and tuna. We use olive oil almost exclusively and use a variety of cheeses. Cabbage and sauerkraut are very popular with my wife and I but not so much with our daughters.

Nutritionally we all take a multivitamin daily. We add nutritional yeast to various dishes along with turmeric. Onions and garlic are very good for you and we add add them anywhere they fit.
