I won't touch avocado, cilantro, kale, lima beans, fish other than lobster, shrimp and scallops, coffee, spinach to name just a few.  I won't try any of the veggie shakes - mine have to chocolate or vanilla.

Re: Another Food Question.

[ Edited ]

I've never eaten lobster, salmon or most fish. The only fish I will eat must be deep fried like coconut shrimp. Won't eat biscuits and gravy or chipped beef either. Just the sight of it makes me gag.

@QVCkitty1  I'm with you on the PBJ. Not a fan at all! However, I do love peanut butter by itself or with chocolate, or in Thai food. I also dislike cilantro, but I have learned to tolerate it because it seems impossible to ask an Indian restaurant to hold the cilantro. Julia Child didn't like cilantro either, so I figure I'm in good company.


Ina Garten hates cilantro too. I love it, the taste and smell, go figure. 🤷‍♀️

LIVER!

 

I don't eat organs and I HATE the chalky taste, no matter how you tried to disguise it, cook with bacon, onions. etc.

 

Growing up we had it once a week and I (and my brother) always refused to eat it.

 

The rule in my home growing up, was that you had 2 choices, eat the meal put in front of you or spend the night at the kitchen table till you decided to eat it.

 

My brother and I spent the night at the kitchen table many times, whenever liver was served, which was once a week.

 

We woke up the next morning, after sleeping with our heads on the kitchen table, got dressed and off to school we went.

 

Just the smell of it cooking totally grosses me out.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

I don't like fish or any type of seafood.  

 

No guacamole or anything avocado, same for olives.   

 

I am not a big fan of cheese.  

No kale, spinach or collards; not a big fan of lettuce.

I had heard that 10% of the population is allergic to cilantro. I just know that it induces an automatic gag reflux with me. Not always pretty when it's an unexpected ingredient.

Root beer and licorish. Easy to avoid!
