Most things can be made more palatable with salt, butter, or maybe catchup. After that, breading & ranch dressing come to mind.

We were poor as a kid. We ate what was available, even liver. Now that I have a choice, I avoid liver.

10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

I absolutely despise mayo. Even if it is a base for a seasoned sauce. I grew up with a step-mom who didn't know how to cook and only knew how to make picnic food with mayo. I was a very skinny kid, lol.

Another weird thing for me...over many years and even after several attempts, I love way seafood looks but the only thing I can handle is shrimp and tilapia.

Love shellfish.
I do know someone who won’t eat anything blue, which I found sad (blueberries, for starters..) but she was firm on that. To each their own.

I couldn’t bring myself to eat foi gras once I understood the process. Much as I was curious about the flavor, I felt too conflicted (which is weird for me- I eat meat no problem, have had plenty of jobs working with purpose bred animals, etc).. Maybe I’ll try if another opportunity presents itself. I don’t know.

You are missing out. Canned beets are meh.

FRESH beets, roasted and in a salad with goat cheese, arugula and walnuts is absolutely delicious.

Anything too fishy, fish, seafood, dishes with too much fishy taste. Papaya salad and such. Oddly, I do love fish sauce

Also texture, too mushy, no can do. Fat, sea cucumber etc

Disliking one or two things is normal behavior. Having a giant list of things that you would never touch is a sure sign of some sort of mental issue, and I'm willing to bet that you have never truly been hungry in your entire life, never gone to bed with severe stomach pain due to no food, or, you had a mother that would wipe your ass until you were 12.

I will and have thrown anything and everything down my sewer. I'll try anything once, and I have discovered a lot of things that I enjoy by doing this. Uni, sea urchin roe is one of these.

I have a friend that cannot stand butter. We went to a high-end steakhouse a few weeks ago and when he ordered he told them no butter ever touching anything. They did it up right, but you better believe I give him grief about it!

Don't forget bacon, bourbon and beer.

I can't eat real "gamey" tasting meat. But that's where the bacon, bourbon and beer come into play when cooking.

PASig - I have had that salad and you are 100% spot on! Wonderful. Roasted fresh beets don't last long in our home.

There is a difference to disliking or even not wanting to try something vs an actual phobia or other issue.

For example I LOVE seafood of all types but I totally understand folks who cannot imagine eating sea cockroach or Little Rock’s that have tumors inside you eat. Smile. I am not a fan of tongue, tastes fine I just don’t like eating a tongue. Those are normal things.

I have however met folks who....
- CANNOT HAVE THEIR FOOD TOUCH AT ALL!!
- MUST prep every surface fastidiously and MUST cut their food and eat with silverware. Doesn’t sound super weird until you see them do this with a Snickers bar or chips.
-I met a guy once who didn’t like food. ANY OF IT, NOTHING. He would force himself to eat to survive but liked LITERALLY NOTHING. Real food, snacks, drinks. NOTHING.
-MUST put the same number of salt granules or pepper on each piece.

Those are weirdness/phobias/issues.

beef that is too rare grosses me out. Med rare is my preference. Pink, yet warm in the middle with no running blood. If I cut into a steak and blood oozes out all over a nice clean white plate, I have a hard time choking that down.

I know a women who can't eat chicken or any other meat that's on a bone. To the point of vomiting. She says she realizes the meat comes from a chicken or some animal, but the bone reminds her of that animal running around.

There is nothing in life the correct over application of bourbon cannot make better. Smile

I can eat RAW beef. I have at times told the waiter just bring me the cow, I’ll eat what I want and ride the rest home later. Smile

Your response has been quoted 3 times but...catchup?

You were probably dictating to your phone but we are all talking about ketchup here, right? Cool

Sadly, my digestion has changed and I can't eat beef at all, regardless of how done it is. Even hamburger will give me problems if I eat more than a spoonful or two as part of spaghetti sauce.
