I will not eat tomatoes. I have never liked them. How about you?

Cottage cheese. Nope.

Uni (sea urchin roe). Only sushi I avoid, in fact about the only food I avoid for taste reasons. That said, the last time I tried it, wasn't too bad. But I still wouldn't go out of my way to order it.

Easy question. Broccoli!!
I can't stand the stuff.

There's a diner in Missoula, MT that serves brains and eggs. Used to be the thing, after closing down the bars downtown to go to the Ox for a breakfast of brains and eggs...by all but me. They use cow brains though, so there's that.

Add that to my list.

Mushrooms, I have hated them since I was a kid.

And Cilantro makes everything taste like motor oil, or a bar of Lifeboy (Ralphie from a Christmas story) it ruins the taste of anything that it is on.

And it's my guess that is what they taste like!

Raw meat or fish.
I have a background in clinical microbiology and parasitology - I just can't eat those.


The cilantro is a genetic thing. For a certain percentage of people it really does taste like soap.

I'm an official member of the Liver haters club. My mom used to cook it well done and it sucked..

Whale.

The vilest thing I have ever had in my mouth. I was on a Norwegian offshore intervention vessel, and my coworker and I were invited to dine at the captain's table. My coworkers warned me that they'll serve whale, but I'll try anything once. It came out looking like a ribeye steak (red meat with nice marbling) so I let my guard down. The Norwegians laughed at my reaction. My coworker described it as a bad combination of liver and squirrel.

When I went to an Inupiat village in Alaska and their favorite thing was to get white people to eat mukluk (aka whale blubber). They asked me if I had ever eaten whale and I truthfully said "yes." Good thing the didn't ask if I had ever eaten mukluk

Lengua and Tripas. Or Menudo. Staples in every restaurant down here but for me its the big NOPE. I do love me some barbacoa though.

Raw tomato here, except in Pico de Gallo.
Cucumber is another I don't eat, exception being bahn mi sandwiches.
Lost my taste for watermelon after working on a farm in high school, after that all watermelon tastes like rind to me.

Not a fan of tripe or menudo, but have has lengua a few times & liked it. Prepared by my grandmother's aunt's housekeeper that walked over to Laredo from Mexico every day.

I'm hardly a pickey eater, but probably Balut eggs. Never had one. Nope, not interested.

Onions. Mushrooms.

On raw or rare meat and fish.....Dad was a DVM. Finished his career as USDA APHIS MPIP. His steaks were ALWAYS well done.

Squid. Nope, nope.

I'm usually a try it twice, unless it's just vile the first time.

Beets. I'd starve to death before I tried to eat a beet.

Seafood, for the most part.

I can do shrimp cocktail or canned tuna with mayo, but I can't eat any other type of seafood. Which is a shame because I wish I did since it would open up a ton of other options, but I just can't do it.

Maybe at some point, but.
