pickles. Can't stand them, nor pickle brine. I think I ate them as a child but something traumatic must have happened because I truly hate them as an adult.

But, ironically, I love cucumbers.

Also, I pass on cheesecake, lemon merinque pie and yoghurt, though those are partially from being lactose intolerant.

[cybergoober]

I'm with you on the pickle thing.

eeewwwww

[subego]

Cruciferous vegetables.

[packet of krisps]

I love pickles.

[ghporter]

I do not eat eggplant. Except when it's thoroughly drenches in tomato sauce and cheese, of course.

I love pickles. My wife and son hate bell peppers, but that leaves more for me!

[cjrivera]

... green eggs and ham.
I do not eat them in a house.
I will not eat them with a mouse.
I do not eat them, Sam-I-am.

[packet of krisps]

Oh, I forgot to mention, I have a pretty big problem with fish, like cutlet or filet. I can eat, and love sushi, but for some reason, that type of fish cannot go down, (unless it comes back up of course ).

[design219]

Cheese.

And if you ask for a dish that normally comes with cheese at a restaurant, the waitress or waiter is often so shocked at anyone could not like cheese that they feel compelled to ask if you are allergic to cheese. I once was at a restaurant with some friends and the waitress asked me if I was lactose intolerant. She did not get a tip.

If that ever happens again, I'm ready to reply very loudly "No, but sometimes it gives me really stinky and I don't want to stink up your lovely restaurant."

[Demonhood]

tomatoes (but i like ketchup and i make my own pasta sauce with em)
beef
sprouts
cooked carrots (love em raw tho)
lamb
duck
nuts in just about anything (if your brownies have nuts, they should be called "brownies w/nuts" not just "brownies")
walnuts
fish (except in sushi form)
broccoli
cauliflower
beans

really, this list could go on for days. those are the majors. and no, i'm not allergic to any of them.

[ghporter]

I' not fond of duck (it's greasy), nor most fish (and I do NOT eat sushi). I love tomatoes prepared any way or fresh picked. I like all the sprouts I've ever tried. Nuts are great, cruciform veggies rock, and beans are half of a great staple of life (along with rice). Gee, DH, you have quite the limited menu...

[paul w]

I love it all - from crappy greasy local junkfood to the rarest exotic delicacy.

[Jawbone54]

I'm with you guys on the pickle hate.

The very smell of pickles or mustard makes me nauseous.

...squash
...lettuce
...olives

I don't eat very many sweets either, really. I'm not a big chocolate eater, but I'm a peanut butter fiend.

[macforray]

I guess I am lucky. I have not eaten anything that makes a list of "never again". I do have to stay away from foods that don't like me though. I stay away from tomato juice and pears, even though I love both.

Brownies without walnuts or pecans are just boring. Duck fat rules (along with pork fat)! Cheese is something I cannot live without. I even like limburger (with slice of onion on a saltine and beer). Fruits, veggies, nuts and grains also are part of my diet. Meats, whether domestic or wild, fresh or cured, are some of my favorites.

Granted, there are some things I care less for than others, but nothing on a "I do not eat" list.

Agreed 100%.

I don't however jive with much else in this thread, as I love pickles and tomatoes etc.

[Buckaroo]

I hate lima beens, and liver.

You don't like beef?

[rickey939]

Vegetables. Hate them. Yuck.

[turtle777]

Yeah, f*** pickles.

-t

[Gankdawg]

Nuts (except for peanuts)
Onions

[analogika]

I think the only thing I've ever eaten that I'll never bother with again is fudge.

How you 'mericans managed to create something that seems like concentrated sugar (as if that were possible) is a mystery, but every time I've tried, it's curled up my toenails.

Yecch.

(And I love chocolate, Daim, and Daim chocolate, et al.)

I'm totally with you on the pickles. The first time I ate at this sandwich place I'd heard so much about, I hated it. Then I noticed the stupid thing was half pickles. So I tried the same thing the next day with no pickles, and that was the best damn sandwich I'd ever had. Pickles suck that much.

[keekeeree]

• Most green vegetables (green beans, peas, asparagus...)
• Mushrooms (unless they're chopped up tiny)
• Tomato (but like Demonhood, I enjoy it in its various other forms like ketchup, pizza sauce, salsa, etc.)

also, i like pickles

What about wafer thin slices of beef, can you eat them?

[iM@k]

Although in culinary we use "peanuts" as nuts, botanically they are legumes.

The other common culinary/botanical mix-up is the tomato. We use it as a vegetable, but it is in fact a fruit.

hey Demomhood, since I have this odd dislike of honey and mustard, but love honey-mustard, I wonder if you would like the "Tomeato"

[Oisín]

What he said.

I always thought I was just about the pickiest person in the world, but now I see the ’Hood has me beat.

I dislike and subsequently don’t eat/drink:
– meat, of any kind
– marzipan (ew ew ew ew ew yuk yuk vomit hurl gross!)
– anything that contains alcohol
– peaches (but only because of that creepy feeling you get on your tongue because of the little hairs on their skin)
– anything with almond extract (tastes like marzipan, see above—I do like raw almonds, though)
– durian (duh!)
– olives
– raw onions
– cauliflower
– most kinds of cabbage, though only if raw or stewed, not if fried or roasted
– balsam pears (heeeeeeeesh, the uncontrollable facial spasms those things can incur)


But I do like pickles.

[smacintush]

I can't think of very many things I won't eat.

Persimmons is one. I don't eat much beef but I do like some of it. (I loves me some pork fo sho tho)

[JoshuaZ]

Natto.

(I also don't do pickles. But I'd rather pickle it up than eat natto)

[Oisín]

^ Good point. Natto’s fairly nasty, though still in the ‘edible, if I absolutely must’ group.

I like the taste of persimmons, but not the über-soft squishiness.

[analogika]

Ah, yes, I've never tried natto.

But I intend to.

[red rocket]

marzipan
peanut butter
‘chicken’ nuggets, etc.
sugary stuff

[Andy8]

The only time I would eat pickles is if it is on a Triple O veggie burger.

Im waiting for Fatburger to open in Wanchai, they look fantastic.

I see a new Monster Burger has opened in Stanley street, just near the Pottinger Street steps, i walked past yesterday and there was a queue out of the door!

[mattyb]

If it moves, I'll try it (lived in South East Asia, Africa and the Middle East). If it grows I'll try it. I've eaten cheese where the crust of it looked like Route 66. Need to eat it with a very sweet jam - black cherry is good. And thats real jam, not some Smuckers shite. Jam for MEN. Jam that you could put between bricks to build your house with.

Can't think of any animals that I haven't tried (yeah I've done dog and cat and rat and cockroach and grasshopper).

For the bad genes that my father passed me, I don't eat : liver, kidney, beans (any sort), shrimps and I have now stopped the red wine. I have gout in case anyone cares.

Where do I sign up for the Anti-Pickle League? Cucumbers yes. Old cucumbers drenched in vinegar that you could beat a seal pup with - NO !!!

I tend to buy more and more stuff from the local market instead of the supermarket. Dunno if its any better for us, but it makes me feel better.

[Randman]

I think the worst things I've had is Natto and fried bat wing. Never tried dog and I passed on cow brains while in Asia.

[Stogieman]

I don't eat mustard. Can't stand the smell. But I'll eat Dijon mustard, go figure.

Onions (Gives me heartburn. No thanks)
Mayo (Looks like thick semen. No thanks.)
Relish (Looks like something you would find on a used Kleenex. No thanks.)

"Yeah and sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie. But I wouldn't know because I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf**ker."

[richwig83]

I dont eat salad.....

[Gankdawg]

Olives
Peppers
Swiss cheese

[Atheist]

Smelly/Soft Cheeses (Limburger, Brie, Bleu)
Shellfish
Duck (too oily)
Ground Provisions (it's a Caribbean term... Dasheen, Cassava, Breadfruit)
Organ Meats (anything that's not lean muscle)
Okra (Or pretty much anything with a slimy texture)

I have an extremely sensitive nose and it really affects the foods I can eat. For instance, even the smell of melting butter is enough to make me gag. (Strange, I know).

[Tiresias]

Margarine. Margarine. Margarine.

And any kind of cooking oil that isn't olive oil.

I'm with you there. Except McDonalds. I prefer local diner food over franchise fast food. And if I want it fast, I'll get it from a street vendor. Better quality, better taste.

[Oisín]

You beat seal pups with vinegar? You cruel, vicious man!

I don't eat mustard. Can't stand the smell. But I'll eat Dijon mustard, go figure.

Mustard, yes. Disgusting.

And ketchup, forgot about ketchup last time. I love tomatoes, but I loathe ketchup (exactly the opposite of DH).

[Demonhood]

nope. my stomach would immediately object.

more...

mayo (my sandwich is perfectly moist without this liquid lard, thanks)
balsamic vinegar (the smell actually makes me physically gag. all my friends love the stuff)
coconut (unless in flavored rum)
swiss cheese
cucumber

[subego]

I can't disagree with the quality comment, But I think the taste comment isn't giving them credit for their uniqueness (ironic considering how many of them there are).

I've never found someone who can duplicate their fries consistently, and their buns have so much sugar in them I don't think I've ever had a hamburger as sweet.

I like to consider McDonalds as a meal made entirely of desserts.

I don't even consider McD's food. It sits in the ellipse of a Venn diagram representing "Food" and "Chemicals".

[design219]

Wow, have you ever eaten there? I wouldn't want to eat every meal at McDonalds, but really, it's not that bad.

[subego]

I'm a big believer in better living through chemistry.

Take a McNugget for instance. No taste whatsoever, but it acts as the ideal substrate for their awesome hot mustard.

Always check to make sure they gave you your mustard before you drive off.
