Just wondering, Whats that one food or spice that you hate or can't stand to eat?

Goat cheese. I cannot fathom its popularity.

Cumin

As far as I am concerned, cilantro is an ungodly food :)

Peaches! Can't even stand the smell.
Not crazy about very many other stone fruits, either; plums, nectarines, etc.

Beets and salmon but I eat everything else.

Caraway seeds (seedless rye please!), nutmeg (a tiny tiny but goes a loooooong way and it seems overused to me), sweetbreads (texture), and I'm not a big fan of brains or tripe but I'd be willing to try them again. My husband hates mushrooms and anything that tastes "like dirt" (I love all that stuff), eggplant (I love it) and really stinky cheese (it tastes really bitter to him). Opposites attract...?

I don't like cardamom much. It's one of those tastes I just don't get no matter how hard I try, I guess.
And then there's the national love-it-or-hate-it food: cilantro. I HATE cilantro!

Turnips. It's funny, I very much like the bitterness in lots of other vegetables but for me, turnips have no redeeming qualities.

I have to add in poultry gizzards, hearts, lungs...any chewy organ meat. Head cheese terrifies me. I can deal with liver, sweetbreads, tongue, gonads.
BTW, jellyfish remind me of chicken gristle. I can tie all my dislikes to early traumas...the curse of being the child of poor immigrants.

Potatoes, in any form other than French-fried or chip.

I hate cabbage in any form, including Brussells Sprouts, and I especially hate black pepper. I don't understand why chefs insist that black pepper be put on everything.

Avocado. Ew. Absolutely the only time I will eat it is hidden inside a sushi roll. Before you ask...Yes, I realize that's weird. And no way, I hate guacamole too. Yes, really.

Tofu... And I've been a vegan for many years. I just can't get past the texture.

I am not much on tentacles (though I love fried calamari RINGS) and I really dislike the flavor of rose.

And - I've said it before I'll say it again - NO CANNED CREAM OF ANYTHING SOUP. EVER.

I've got more than one! I completely agree with Dona on the beets -- I don't like them because they taste like dirt smells. I don't care for goat cheese (in any form or blend). I also don't like bell peppers (in any color or preparation) -- and because they're juicy, they flavor anything they touch! I also don't care for organ meats (including foie gras). And, although I'll enjoy them in baked goods, I really dislike eggs (including the smell), no matter how they're prepared. Oh, and one more -- mushrooms.

Okra most certainly, I just cannot handle the sliminess,

Funny, Dona, I love beets because they taste "earthy" (like dirt?) and I will eat just about anything. I've even overcome my dislike of cilantro. But I avoid hazelnuts. Why? Because they taste like dirt to me! :-)

Raw tomatoes. I will eat them on a salad occasionally because I know they are good for me, but I swallow them as quickly as possible to get it over with.

Lima beans and whipped cream (I hate them both, separately)

Trena, are jellyfish considered edible?

I love people's descriptions here of what they don't like - very funny.

I like pretty much anything if it's cooked properly.

Beets taste like dirt to me. I've tried roasted, grated raw, pickled - just can't.

For me coriander, raw celery, green bell peppers and beets and my husband (the ONLY thing he doesn't like to my knowledge!) is sun-dried tomatoes. Needless, to say he is a dream to cook for...

Anything aniseed/fennel

oysters (which i have tried and will gladly let you oyster lovers eat all of my allotment) and brains (which i have not tried but don't think i ever will). love mussels and clams. enjoyed tripe and liver. but no oysters or brains.

I can't sleep in the same house with cloves.

For me..saffron. It tastes like a dirty, rusty penny to me. However, my friend Barbie makes the best paella cooked over an open fire when we go to the lake and somehow saffron is okay in that setting.

Melon...of any kind. I think I can honestly say its the only food I absolutely refuse to eat.
