Food that is completely 'wrong'

[Dressinggown]

I'm not on about unhealthy, over processed foods but those that I cannot see the point of:

Aubergine - Has only a tasteless crap texture.
Anchovies- Why not use salt ? My cat wouldn't touch them.
Actually, any fish with bones.
Stuff that crawles.

[tarkys_ears]

Sprouts.

I try them every year... I just can't ******* eat them, they taste like sewage

[Bullabill]

Sewage sandwiches - they taste like sprouts.

[Belial]

Judging by the Mounjaro thread there should be plenty on here who know about foods that are wrong

(I'll go with liver btw... a cholesterol filled ball of pißß)

[jdrobbo]

Celery

[Hedontplayforyou]

Mushrooms are the work of the devil

Liver is a nutrient dense food. One of the best.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

I'll try anything tbf but f*ck me liver or kidneys is absolutely sh!te, try as I might over the years I just can't stomach either!

[Jakubclaret]

In a edible fashion maybe not so. People like different things I personally don't eat any offal but will happily munch away on vegetables & fruit we all like different things & whatever tastes good to 1 person shouldn't be discouraged. Everything can be good to the right person on a nutritional level.

[DCWat]

I’m probably stepping on the toes of many a fellow northerner here, not to mention every single Burnley FC fans function since the year dot, but mushy peas. The smell, the taste, the texture, evil, disgusting, horrible, congealed things..

Tomatoes as well - I’ve tried, occasionally continue to try, but to date, I’ve failed. ‘Try one of these little cherry ones, they’re sweet and juicy’. They’re bloody not - like a spot bursting when those rancid little ******* burst in your mouth after a bite.

Agree, it's subjective, just saying it's not just (even if it is high in cholesterol) a cholesterol bomb. Bit of a marmite food, subjectively.

[Taffy on the wing]

Tripe!

[NottsClaret]

Mushrooms are the work of the devil

It’s incredible humans persisted with eating those in the past, not knowing if you’d get a nutritious snack, see the meaning of life in a mind bending vision, or have your liver dissolve and die a horrific death. For me, the taste wouldn’t have justified the risk. Feels wrong eating fungus.

[Squidgy]

Sweetcorn. It appears 24hrs later having gone on its happy journey through the body looking exactly as it did on the plate.
Any food that needs smothering with something else to taste good, in this case butter is pointless.
Hedontplayforyou is right on the money with mushrooms. Years of work canteens serving luke warm rubber in a bath of mud coloured water convinced me that they are pure evil.

[Burnley1989]

Sprouts.

Balls of poison.
I always say, it's like picking up some random plants and eating it. It just tastes like something that shouldn't be consumed

[BurnleyFC]

Avocado.

People eat it because it’s seemingly cool. It actually tastes like ear wax.

[dougcollins]

Actually, any fish with bones.

They wouldn't get far without them.

Though sharks and rays do have a cartilage skeleton.

[ChrisG]

I quite like guacamole, however the fact you have to mix it with garlic, chilli, lime juice, coriander, onion, and tomato to make it edible does somewhat prove your point

Yep, the Avacado itself is almost irrelevant.

[Firthy]

Anything coffee flavoured. The drink itself is awful but anything flavoured with it is ten times worse.

[timshorts]

As a person that doesn't have a normal top to his stomach, anything that tastes bad second time around. From the list above, that includes sprouts, celery and tripe.

Add in anything that has a lump of fat still attached to it, cabbage (school dinner type. White/red cabbage is fine), pesto, salad dressing, garlic, smoked/uncooked salmon/fish/meat. All disgusting to get back in your mouth. There are lots of ice creams that seem lovely when you eat them, but I soon find out that they are actually pretty disgusting.

Also, I don't eat anything hot and runny. Why put something in your mouth that both feels and tastes like bad sick? That rules out gravy, hot custard, stews, hot drinks of all descriptions.

[ChrisG]

I love (proper, not instant) coffee, in fact I'm drinking one right now, but I am 100% on board with coffee flavoured things being vile.

See also banana flavoured things that don't use actual bananas.

[Terrier]

Fish of all type.
Worse when in a restaurant abroad and some dirty scrubber has fish with the head still attached, surprised some don't eat the eyes!

[Aclaret]

It's good that everyone has differenent tastes in food, personally I quite like all the foods mentioned so far.. well apart from the Sewage Sandwich !

[RicardoMontalban]

Avocado.

Eaten a lot of ear wax?

[Hibsclaret]

Cheese. A certain type even contains live fly maggots and most of it has basically gone off. That’s before I even mention the smell. Absolutely disgusting stuff in the main.

[BurnleyFC]

Eaten a lot of ear wax?

Yes, I smash it up and have it on toast.

I prefer it to avocado

Wow…. Not a lot left is there fella?

[Spijed]

Not food as such, but why would anyone ever want to drink root beer?

You might as well just drink TCP and Germolene mixed in with lemonade to get the same effect.

[Stalbansclaret]

Tofu …… it’s just a totally flavourless spongey substance . Surely people just pretend to like it ….there's absolutely no reason to find it a good thing to eat.

[Ptangyangkipperbang]

Anything that triggers gout

[bobinho]

Bi-valves. Molluscs. Snails. Raw (smoked) salmon. Sushi.

Strangely, pigs in blankets. Deconstructed one once, and it looked like a dead man’s finger.

Guilty of eating with my eyes. If I don’t like the look of it, it ain’t going in my gob.

[Loyalclaret]

halloumi - can it be eaten without adding something with taste?

[Cirrus_Minor]

Boiled tripe
Thick pork steaks

[Darnhill Claret]

I love fish, but hate fish soup.
Worst thing I ever 'tried' was a conger eel.

[Belial]

Liver is a nutrient dense food. One of the best.

Of course it has nutrients in. I never doubted it did. The point is when you're eating offal, you're still eating a cholesterol filled pi55 and sh5t filter

[sjb]

I like a lot of foods mentioned here as dislikes, such as cheese, kidneys, tomatoes, gravy, custard - but I agree with tofu, halloumi & sweetcorn. My top hates are lettuce, broccoli & most of all cucumber, accurately defined as a vegetable which should be thinly sliced, lightly seasoned and thrown away.

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

Parsnip - people must pretend to like it for some reason

[Tribesmen]

Try most things once , cat , dog , horse and snake . Like it all depends where you are in the world .
My pet hate is any kind of of fat and did try tripe one but never again .
Sorry to all those pet lovers out there .

You sound like our lass

I'll add Steak tartare to the list.

I hate peas any cooked peas but oddly I'm ok with raw fresh peas from the pod. I'm not sure what's worse, mushy or marrowfat.

I struggle with reheated tinned plum tomatoes, I mean way to go at turning something edible into something disgusting. I can't eat those little decorative half tomatoes that you get sometimes where they've been slightly warmed with a crumble on the top. They're almost as bad as slices of tomato on sandwiches that have been left in the sun or a hot car, when the skin starts to peal from the flesh. Other tomatoes are fine.

People get all enthusiastic about asparagus but honestly, it makes your pee smell unpleasant because it tastes unpleasant.

[Clovius Boofus]

Any kind of offal. I can't abide the taste or the texture.

[Clovius Boofus]

Regarding veg, I hate sprouts (they be the work of the Devil) and I'm not too taken with asparagus. As for fruit, I'll eat most apart from avocados - they make me gip.

[tarkys_ears]

I ate alligator once. That was "wrong" but quite bloody nice!

Still, the idea of eating a pre-historic dinosaur reptile doesn't sit too well with me.

Snake I'd never go near.

[mikeS]

Tripe!

Never tasted it but It's very appearance looks alien.

[aclaretinstevenage]

Any food that needs smothering with something else to taste good, in this case butter is pointless.

So basically Curry.........I agree apart from the fact that any Curry I have tried tasted like crap.

[Claret knight]

Bananas , the devils fruit , horrendous things

[LeadBelly]

Liver is a nutrient dense food. One of the best.

Liver is excellent nutrition-wise and I also enjoy it (fried with onions and just a bit of stock added) great with mash and broccoli. Lamb's the best variation for me, reasonably priced too.

Tripe/elder etc I can't eat though I remember the stalls selling such on the old Burnley market outside the old market hall being almost as popular as the black pudding stalls.

Can't even get close to some smelly seafood such as crab, lobster, scallops etc. Yuk.

[dvalley69]

I'll eat, and have eaten, pretty much everything stated on here without issues.

But Tofu is definitely up there as my 'wrong' food, tastes like cardboard.

What is wrong is eating stuff completely out of season: like watermelons in winter! That's odd. Love them in 35 degree heat but give me a cold day and watermelon and it makes me sick!
