Are there foods you just can't force yourself to like?

I don't like many vegetables nor Mexican food. Taco salad gives me the shivvers. It just too much of a concoction for me. I don't like things loaded with cheese and  chili and sour cream

 

I do like Chinese and Indian food, but

I don't like vegetable curries. I just can't seem to develope a palate for some foods

 

I don't object to some food mixtures, but not the kitchen sink type. My daughter and husband are the same way. MY son not so much.

Green olives. Too salty and I don't care for the pimento in the middle.

I grew up in a multi ethnic community in the northeast.  I learned to love all food.   I've tried almost everything.  I live in the south now, lots of good Mexican food, but there are other options as well.    Including a really good home-made hamburger, which is probably my all time favorite!   With fries, of course.

There are a few other things across the categories, but my basic list is - eggs, milk, mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and yogurt.  All GROSS!

 

But, the grossest thing on the planet is egg salad.  (probably partially because it combines two of THE grosses things on my list - eggs and mayo)

 

I've said this before and I do believe it to be true - I would rather eat live maggots.   If you come anywhere near me with that I am vomiting within 10 seconds.  Just thinking about is making me queasy.  Seriously.

Re: Are there foods you just can't force yourself to like?

I always hated eggs SO MUCH---I wouldn't eat a cookie, a brownie or a piece of cake---because it had eggs IN IT.  Crazy--huh?

 

Lobster was my go to whenever we dined out, it was also my downfall.  At a birthday dinner, years ago, I realized that what I ordered was ALIVE when I was being seated.

 

So nothing loses it's life for me any more.  (Or is *squeezed* out, either.)
