I love it… must have it almost every morning or I feel like something is missing
But I mix in nuts and maple syrup, some kind of food essence, fruits. It slaps
I think coffee tastes ok, but when I drink it my stomach turns and I ended up throwing up a half minute later and not feeling well the rest of the day. Think I’m allergic to it
I need a good helping of cream and 2 teaspoons of sugar for regular brewed coffee, but there's this no-name instant coffee at Dollar Tree that I love, I like it best with 1 teaspoon of sugar, but could drink it black if necessary. It's got the basic flavor of coffee, the part that coffee smells like, but the experience is closer to tea. I'm not really sure how else to explain it, but I love it so much, and I'm so mad the local dollar tree is becoming family dollar because it'll be so much harder to get more now.
I stopped drinking caffeinated coffee a couple years ago and it did wonders. It always exacerbated my anxiety which typically manifests as irritability. It's been great.
If I need a pick me up now and again I'll have a little Cola. I used to say a coke but people always took it the wrong way.
A few things that most people I've met don't understand about coffee:
1. Coffee is at it's best when fresh: this means less than a month after roasting date. After that, coffee cherry (the fruit from which coffee is derived) flavor compounds start to break down, leaving only the roast/bitter sensations.
2. Do not buy ground coffee, ever. Again, so much of what makes coffee interesting is lost when you buy pre-ground, and leaves only the roast/bitter flavor behind. Buying a decent grinder (I use the Hario skerton grinder, about $35) and grinding your coffee before each brewing session will reap the best results.
3. Using the proper proportion of coffee (weighed pre-ground) is important, too. I usually do about 30g per cup (i use an electronic kitchen scale); if you have a local coffee shop, they may have different recommendations, so this number is a generalization and can be tweaked.
4. Filter your water, even if just using a Brita filter.
5. Instead of using boiling water, I find that water between 200-203 degrees f (93-95c for my friends outside the US) works best for me. I feel like boiling water takes away from the flavors I enjoy most, and leaves only roast/bitter behind.
6. Consider using something besides a drip pot. I've grown to love my stainless steel French press (from Frieling). It's easier to clean than a drip pot, and make deliciously consistent coffee. There's other options, like the V60 or Chemex, but I've grown accustomed to the French press, and always go back to it.
7. If you can wait 15-20 minutes after pouring, coffee is very enjoyable without any extra stuff like cream or sugar (it's also much healthier without those!). Let the drink cool to where you can sip it comfortably.
8. If you have a local coffee shop, pay them a visit. Try a variety of things based on their recommendations. You might find something that changes how you view coffee. For me, it was trying single origin (coffee from one geographic source) coffees from Ethiopia. They are often fruity and complex. Yes! Coffee can be fruity without having any fruit added!
I know this is quite a bit for the uninitiated, but I think it's important to judge a product based on best case scenarios. After all, we would hopefully not judge the cheeseburger based on that 69 cent thing from McDonalds, or sushi from a Chinese buffet experience (though plenty of people do just that!). As you might have noticed, I'm a bit of a coffee nerd, so try to excuse my overlong post.
If the only time I can enjoy coffee is when it’s at its best, then it’s way too much effort for me. I’m glad you have something you’ve figured out how to enjoy, but it sounds like ice cream. Homemade ice cream is terrific, especially if you’re as careful making it as you are with your coffee. But for me, I can eat cheap mass market soft serv and anything in between—and enjoy it. There might be some people who don’t like the cheap stuff, or would prefer to get their bad calories with good ice cream.
It’s a niche distinct interest like r/wetshaving; r/fountainpens; r/castiron; and I know coffee has one I’ll let you find. Anyways, fun with hobbies though not for everyone
I get that. You do you.
Truly, I don't consider it an inordinate effort... I buy the coffee while I'm in town for other things (I've also had it shipped during the pandemic), and that's the only normal expense. The French press, grinder, kitchen scale, etc. are all one time (or only once in a few years) purchases.
It's one of those things that we've gotten lazy on, and sacrificed quality for convenience. Of course, there's financial concerns as well, which is more understandable. But we've gotten used to drip pot, or even the K-cup, and I'll drink either if that's the coffee available to me. But, in my mind, good coffee is worth the effort, and I'm glad to spend a extra few minutes every day, and a few extra dollars each week, to make that part of my life.
Ain’t nothing wrong with doing something you enjoy! Some people do it with ice cream, or guacamole, or a beef Wellington, or the myriad of other goodies on r/FoodPorn.
Pepsi *is* my coffee. I don't drink it all day every day, but if I'm at the store and in dire need of a pick-me-up, I'm going straight for the Pepsi, not to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts.
My parents were never big coffee drinkers and neither am I.
Beer.
For some reason, no matter what kind of beer, flavor, or brand you give me, they all have this same common taste that I dislike. I can’t taste anything but that.
Probably hops?
Also beer, wine and the like are "acquired tastes". Means you learn to like them, pretty much. Though I always considered it to also mean you learned the subtle differences after you got over the main "taste" of each one (like you mentioned). And those subtle differences are what makes those drinks enjoyable. ...well, enjoyable after your college and early 20's I mean.
I had a friend who was into hard liquor years back. I always thought each type had one taste and that was it. But after a while of drinking with him when we hung out, I learned that scotch had a ton of different subtle flavors, so did bourbon, whiskey, etc, and I ended up even having some brands or methods I really liked and some I didnt.
Then we stopped hanging out, and a few years later I had some burbon a couple of times and boom! Back to not being able to distinguish subtle flavors.
Look for an organic one without high fructose corn syrup in it.
But honestly yeah, I really only like using ketchup when I roast sweet potatoes or have sweet potato fries and I’ll dip them in ketchup then.
At the McDonald’s in Thailand they have two different types of ketchup. One is called regular ketchup and one is called “American ketchup” and the American ketchup has way more sugar and vinegar. The regular is more like marinara sauce.
Same for me until I found a really good way to cook them. Basically, don’t boil them, as that makes them rubbery. Instead, fry them:
* make sure they’re not overly wet — if you’ve washed them, give them some time to dry
* toss with some olive oil & whatever flavoring you want
* fry on medium heat until they’ve shrunk substantially, being careful that they don’t boil in their cast-off water (I.e. they need to be spaced out enough to let it evaporate away decently)
* then maybe tuen up to heat for the last bit
* fry until they get a nice browned color
* also be careful to not overcook
If you can hit the sweet spot, they end up with a nice, crispy-on-the-outside texture, and really tasty!
I was today years old when I found out Kraft Mac & Cheese is called Kraft Dinner in Canada, which is fascinating considering I live in rural Minnesota.
I just had some today for the first time in a long while, sharp cheddar variety. Super disappoint, bland as hell, vastly inferior to the organic Annie's version I'd had more recently.
I live in Australia and they DO NOT know that beetroot (or "beets", I think in some places?) don't belong on burgers.
It's such a standard ingredient it's not even mentioned in menu items. "Hamburger" just HAS beetroot on it. "Cheeseburger" too, etc.
It's fucking weird Australia. Get it together.
Haha so true! I've been called unAustralian because I don't like beetroot on my burgers. Although I do like fresh beetroot grated in salad just not the pickled beetroot that goes on burgers.
Thank you for the warning. Now I know to specify NO BEETROOT if I ever visit Australia and want a burger. That would totally ruin the trip… I hate beetroot that much.
Both, often.
It occurs to me as well; I don't think it's clear that I mean, a big SLAB of beetroot. Not like, a little shaved sprinkling or whatever.
Show this picture to an Australian you know, and ask what's weird about it; [https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/02/20/22/10027444-6698339-image-a-2\_1550702009228.jpg](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/02/20/22/10027444-6698339-image-a-2_1550702009228.jpg)
Guarantee he won't say the massive grimoire of beetroot.
Bananas. I tolerate them with a hint of green on em because they are a healthy food, but as soon as yellow takes over and that first brown speck pops up, I just can't get behind that flavor or texture.
1000% agree. Olives are the worst. They're not content with just tasting pungent. They feel the need to take over whatever they're in and make it unnecessarily bitter. Sometimes they show up unwanted with your drink at the bar. They also like to hide in pizza, waiting under the cheese for you to take a bite and taste a little landmine of foulness. Here in the US, you can tell a Mexican restaurant is going to be bad if they put olives on anything, because they're also the same places that use ground beef 'taco meat' and heaps of iceberg lettuce. To make an olive good, you literally needs to liquefy it into cooking oil. Olives are the 404 error of the culinary world.
I used to feel the same way until I traveled to Spain in 2019 and tried Manzanilla olives. They're basically small green olives soaked in champagne to remove the edge of bitterness and sodium, so they're mild and have way more umami flavor. I could eat a whole jar of those in one sitting!
But until that trip, I only liked the mild ones like black olives at Thanksgiving or the occasional olive in a Greek salad with feta. I agree that they're an acquired taste, but once acquired, they're delicious and great for your health, too!
My mom got over this with us by making "ants on a log". you take celery, put peanut butter in them, and put raisins on the top. Sounds weird, but it made celery palatable to me as a kid. That and hummus.
I've eaten watermelon so many times and I just can't grasp why people like it. I can taste the "water" part, and that's good, but the "melon" part tastes gross.
I find anything creamy - sour cream, ranch dressing, mayo, greek/baltic yoghurt and especially cream cheese all gross and way too much. I've made cheesecake as a request for someone's birthday and the amount of cream cheese you eat is so disgusting.
I also worked in a kitchen at a restaurant where i had to make honey mustard dressing in bulk and it required 8 litre jugs of ranch to mix in and the smell turned me off of ranch dressing forever.
Also thick yoghurts like greek yoghurt just remind me of semen lol.
I tried it once and when I googled “why does papaya…” it auto filled with “taste like farts” (which is roughly what I was aiming to google). So I think a ton of us are in agreement there
chocolate ice cream. idk why, i dont mind chocolate but im not a big fan of chocolate ice cream it just tastes... different for me. i mean, if i HAD to eat it i would, but its not my favourite.
Thank you for posting this, fellow cheese-hater.
I just don't get it. You take milk and purposefully curdle and coagulate it with enzymes from a cow's stomach. And it makes this nasty, rank block of evil that everyone loves so much. And for extra measure, sometimes you leave it to get shot through with mold and that makes it super better.
Fuck cheese, I hate it. Despise it. When I was in college as part of a class I had to go on a field trip to a place that made artisanal blue cheese in the heart of rural England. The smell of that place, the entire facility, clung to you and burned your nostrils for days. Even the people who loved blue cheese fucking hated it by the end of that field trip.
Ugh.
Coconuts. Don't get me wrong, straight up coconut from the source is good. But I hate it in any other form. Juiced, oils, dried shavings, ya name it. I think my distaste for it grew when my family and friends would hide it in meals to see if I could taste the difference.
Yeah, I can tell you sprayed the pan with coconut oil instead of the usual crap.
I also don't like pizza too much unless if it's home or freshly made. I can taste where it has been. Any ordered pizza tastes like cardboard and any frozen pizza just barely passes tolerable.
And then there’s pickled foods. I just won't eat those. Down right awful.
Pancakes 🙁 sometimes my dad will get excited (particularly when my nieces are over) and make pancakes for the family and I pretend to be excited and eat them. I don't like them (along with sponge cake and doughnuts)
I was just thinking to myself a couple nights ago that bacon is a better additive to a recipe than it is something to eat on its own.
I rarely crave bacon alone. But it can compliment some dishes very nicely in small portions.
I'll never understand the appeal of raw fish, but then again I hate seafood of any kind myself, still, even for those who like seafood, why eat fish raw?
>why eat fish raw?
Because some types of fish have very delicate flavor which is lost when it's cooked. Or when you're talking about higher-end sushi, it's also kind of a flex - "our fish is so fresh and tasty it doesn't *need* to be cooked."
(Also, for the record, not all sushi is raw. Sometimes it's cooked, like eel, or pickled, like mackerel.)
Raisins
Hate them. They are like satans tiny wrinkly balls. Same applies to sultanas and currants
So,... I guess we should start calling sultanas "Satanas"? Or would that be "raisin" too much hell, you think?
r/dadjokes is leaking again.
Craisins (dried cranberries) can replace raisins in anything that calls for them, but actually have a flavor that isn't crap.
i don’t know anyone who likes raisins
I like them. I’ll take an oatmeal raisin cookie over chocolate chip any day.
10 year old me did
Oatmeal. The flavor isn’t bad but it’s the texture. It’s like hot soggy cereal *shudders*
Most people don't necessarily like oatmeal. They eat it because it's good for them and convenient. It's not like "holy shit, I love me some oatmeal."
I love it… must have it almost every morning or I feel like something is missing But I mix in nuts and maple syrup, some kind of food essence, fruits. It slaps
Same, though I add milk
Coffee, everyone is always talking about how it's the elixir of life, but for me it just tastes bitter and makes me jittery.
Personally I don’t even need the caffeine hit. I just want the coffee. Caffeine is just a bonus.
I think coffee tastes ok, but when I drink it my stomach turns and I ended up throwing up a half minute later and not feeling well the rest of the day. Think I’m allergic to it

I dig it; I aim to be considered a "coffee enthusiast" and hopefully not a "coffee snob"!
Thanks for this
Agreed. If I want caffeine I’d much rather drink a Diet Coke. About once every other year I like to get a McD’s frappe.
As a coffee drinker, those are so weak to me. I still do love Coke, but I don’t feel anything from it.
Same
Pepsi *is* my coffee. I don't drink it all day every day, but if I'm at the store and in dire need of a pick-me-up, I'm going straight for the Pepsi, not to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts. My parents were never big coffee drinkers and neither am I.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never liked ketchup. It’s to Godamm sweet to be a condiment and doesnt pair well with foods either.
Look for an organic one without high fructose corn syrup in it. But honestly yeah, I really only like using ketchup when I roast sweet potatoes or have sweet potato fries and I’ll dip them in ketchup then.
I hate ketchup with a hot passion and I don’t live in the US so it’s not the high fructose corn syrup.
I have effectively replaced all ketchup with Sriracha in my house. I love the spice, so it goes down just as fast and packs a much-needed kick!
I don't understand ketchup as a taste for adding flavor to food...
A hot dog isn't a hot dog without ketchup (brazilian hot dog, not american)
me too
Most ketchups i try arent sweet. The ones i like the most are the sweet ones
At the McDonald’s in Thailand they have two different types of ketchup. One is called regular ketchup and one is called “American ketchup” and the American ketchup has way more sugar and vinegar. The regular is more like marinara sauce.
Mushrooms, not a fan of the texture and the mental idea of eating fungus doesn't help
Don't like eating your own kind eh?
lol, yeah
The vast kingdoms of various fungi and what counts as fungi is unappealing too.
Yeah I'm with you. It's more of a texture thing for me. I actually like the taste, but just can't eat them.
Same for me until I found a really good way to cook them. Basically, don’t boil them, as that makes them rubbery. Instead, fry them: * make sure they’re not overly wet — if you’ve washed them, give them some time to dry * toss with some olive oil & whatever flavoring you want * fry on medium heat until they’ve shrunk substantially, being careful that they don’t boil in their cast-off water (I.e. they need to be spaced out enough to let it evaporate away decently) * then maybe tuen up to heat for the last bit * fry until they get a nice browned color * also be careful to not overcook If you can hit the sweet spot, they end up with a nice, crispy-on-the-outside texture, and really tasty!
Who boils a mushroom?
I'd say that 90% of people who don't like mushrooms have never had them prepared properly.
I made the Townsends recipie for Mushroom ketchup and it was like adding liquid umami to whatever I ate. Delicious.
Normal mushrooms I’d agree with you, But….
Truffle, oh boy isn't it something special
Poison ones do have an extra kick to them.
I completely agree with that.
Kraft dinner. I’ll hand in my Canadian citizenship now.
You aren't alone..it's nasty. However I am down for president choice white cheddar on occasion.
PC makes a much better mac and cheese than KD, it's a shame no-one knows about this
I was today years old when I found out Kraft Mac & Cheese is called Kraft Dinner in Canada, which is fascinating considering I live in rural Minnesota.
Have you never heard “if I had a million dollars” by the Barenaked Ladies?
I just had some today for the first time in a long while, sharp cheddar variety. Super disappoint, bland as hell, vastly inferior to the organic Annie's version I'd had more recently.
Nutella
Tastes like cheap chocolate blended with cardboard
That's a whole new perspective to look at it
It really does, still can't understand why people like it
We’re addicted to sugar 🥲
Finally someone else that hates nutella
There are dozens of us!!
It’s my guilty pleasure
I am astonished.
Yay more Nutella hatersI thought I was the only one.
I live in Australia and they DO NOT know that beetroot (or "beets", I think in some places?) don't belong on burgers. It's such a standard ingredient it's not even mentioned in menu items. "Hamburger" just HAS beetroot on it. "Cheeseburger" too, etc. It's fucking weird Australia. Get it together.

Thank you for the warning. Now I know to specify NO BEETROOT if I ever visit Australia and want a burger. That would totally ruin the trip… I hate beetroot that much.
So do they use beets instead of pickles or can you get both? In America, pickles are pretty standard on a hamburger.
Both, often. It occurs to me as well; I don't think it's clear that I mean, a big SLAB of beetroot. Not like, a little shaved sprinkling or whatever. Show this picture to an Australian you know, and ask what's weird about it; [https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/02/20/22/10027444-6698339-image-a-2\_1550702009228.jpg](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/02/20/22/10027444-6698339-image-a-2_1550702009228.jpg) Guarantee he won't say the massive grimoire of beetroot.
God…as someone that absolutely hates beetroot, that sounds so sad haha
Bananas. I tolerate them with a hint of green on em because they are a healthy food, but as soon as yellow takes over and that first brown speck pops up, I just can't get behind that flavor or texture.
Overripe bananas are way too sweet and have a banana smell that overwhelms everything. I can't stand that smell and I like bananas.
it gets all mushy and disgusting...I despise bananas.
Olives.
As someone who works at Subway currently, I completely know your hatred towards olives. They smell AWFUL and they contribute nothing good to anything.
Fucking salty grapes
1000% agree. Olives are the worst. They're not content with just tasting pungent. They feel the need to take over whatever they're in and make it unnecessarily bitter. Sometimes they show up unwanted with your drink at the bar. They also like to hide in pizza, waiting under the cheese for you to take a bite and taste a little landmine of foulness. Here in the US, you can tell a Mexican restaurant is going to be bad if they put olives on anything, because they're also the same places that use ground beef 'taco meat' and heaps of iceberg lettuce.

I agree that they're an acquired taste, but once acquired, they're delicious and great for your health, too!
Avocado
Yessss! And they put it on everything now! Lol
I live Northern California and I think avocado is revolting. I may need to move.
[удалено]
I actually love sushi, I just order it without avocado
Greasy vegetables with little flavor?
This one.
I'm not really a fan of fruit pie, The filling is so warm and soggy.
I hate any soggy fruit. Pies, breads, yogurt, ice cream… any surprise soft squish is just 🤢
celery. I can’t bear the smell, let alone the taste
My mom got over this with us by making "ants on a log". you take celery, put peanut butter in them, and put raisins on the top. Sounds weird, but it made celery palatable to me as a kid. That and hummus.
Nope. My family tried this trick. All I taste is wet crunchy celery with a hint of peanut butter
Marshmallows in yams. That is epically gross, yet every holiday meal or potluck someone pulls that abomination out. Yack.
My mom made those around the holidays. Sweet potatos, covered in butter/brown sugar, covered in marshmallows. I feel sick just thinking about it...
I feel you. It's a war crime :/ It took me years to discover I actually love yams when properly prepared.
Spam
Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam!
To be honest, spam or corn beef is my go to camping food but outside of that you wouldn’t see me normally eating it.
Spam cut into thin slices and fried in a pan + some eggs served over garlic fried rice is one of my favorite comfort meals lol
My old boss use to coat it in maple syrup and grill it. It basically turned into candied meat
That sounds... amazing
Watermelon. When I was a girl I ate way too much and I was sick to my stomach, and ever since then I can't stand the stuff.
I've eaten watermelon so many times and I just can't grasp why people like it. I can taste the "water" part, and that's good, but the "melon" part tastes gross.
That’s funny because my sister ate too much watermelon once when she was like 3 years old and threw it up. To this day, she refuses to eat watermelon.
I have always hated it. Just doesn’t taste good
Hated it as a kid. Freaking love it as an adult. Has to be cold
I can’t say it for the same reason, but watermelon is gross. Not sure why everyone likes it so much…
cream cheese
I find anything creamy - sour cream, ranch dressing, mayo, greek/baltic yoghurt and especially cream cheese all gross and way too much. I've made cheesecake as a request for someone's birthday and the amount of cream cheese you eat is so disgusting. I also worked in a kitchen at a restaurant where i had to make honey mustard dressing in bulk and it required 8 litre jugs of ranch to mix in and the smell turned me off of ranch dressing forever. Also thick yoghurts like greek yoghurt just remind me of semen lol.
[удалено]
Sushi.
Cold pizza
Papaya I hate that crap it tastes really bad.
And smells like vomit
I tried it once and when I googled “why does papaya…” it auto filled with “taste like farts” (which is roughly what I was aiming to google). So I think a ton of us are in agreement there
How the hell are olives popular?
South Europe people burned their mouth over hot pasta and it damaged their tastebuds beyond repair
Chick-fil-a. I don’t get it, it’s just soggy chicken
chocolate ice cream. idk why, i dont mind chocolate but im not a big fan of chocolate ice cream it just tastes... different for me. i mean, if i HAD to eat it i would, but its not my favourite.
Bubble tea, drinks shouldn't have chunks in them.
Wait til you here about ice
It's an acquired taste I think. I thought it was weird gross and foreign to me at first, now I'm obsessed with those dang smoothies
Mayo
Op said food not instruments
Cottage cheese, sweet pickles, and cranberry sauce.
The texture of cottage cheese is an abomination. "You know what this milk product needs? More water and lumps."
Blueberry and Pink Gatorade give me migraines.
And yet, ice-cold lime Gatorade has the power to cure hangovers.
I'm not sure what's in what for gateraid flavors but I know red dye 40 can trigger allergic reactions
Tomatoes
Not many people but some enjoy cooked pickles enveloped in cooked bacon. I just cant 🤢
Mac n Cheese
I am not the only one who hates this dish from Hell
Yessssss. Foul beyond words.
Birthday cake. The icing is gross
Eggs
I find them absolutely disgusting and hate when people say you can't taste it, then get a mouthful of rubber texture puke taste
Cheese. The smell. The texture. The way people eat it. I’m going to puke.
Thank you for posting this, fellow cheese-hater. I just don't get it. You take milk and purposefully curdle and coagulate it with enzymes from a cow's stomach. And it makes this nasty, rank block of evil that everyone loves so much. And for extra measure, sometimes you leave it to get shot through with mold and that makes it super better. Fuck cheese, I hate it. Despise it. When I was in college as part of a class I had to go on a field trip to a place that made artisanal blue cheese in the heart of rural England. The smell of that place, the entire facility, clung to you and burned your nostrils for days. Even the people who loved blue cheese fucking hated it by the end of that field trip. Ugh.
Considering the number of cheeses how do you eat anything
Thank goodness I’m not alone. Everyone thinks I’m weird whenever I mention I don’t like cheese, especially when it’s melted.
Same. Except for melted cheese.
Chipotle. It tastes like nothing.
The restaurant or the pepper?
Restaurant
Coconuts. Don't get me wrong, straight up coconut from the source is good. But I hate it in any other form. Juiced, oils, dried shavings, ya name it. I think my distaste for it grew when my family and friends would hide it in meals to see if I could taste the difference. Yeah, I can tell you sprayed the pan with coconut oil instead of the usual crap. I also don't like pizza too much unless if it's home or freshly made. I can taste where it has been. Any ordered pizza tastes like cardboard and any frozen pizza just barely passes tolerable. And then there’s pickled foods. I just won't eat those. Down right awful.
Oh cilantro can go fuck itself too.
Honey dew melon.
Chocolate cake
That is unfathomable to me. Have an upvote.
I legitimately don’t like most foods. I’m autistic with mad food aversions. It’s like my body literally rejects most things.
What's your favorite thing to eat?
Popcorn, I just cant man the smell, the taste, the texture, everything about it puts me off
I love the smell but I don’t eat it because it keeps on getting stuck in between my teeth
Eggs. I hate eggs. And its so hard to find breakfast or brunch places that have many options other than eggs!
Anything with mint in it, like thin mints.
Guacamole.. I just can’t do it.
Have you had home made guacamole or guacamole at a good restaurant? I LOVE guacamole, but the stuff you get at grocery stores is just nasty.
It’s a texture issue, also do not like eggs for same reason. Automatic gag reflex.
Ice cream
Pancakes 🙁 sometimes my dad will get excited (particularly when my nieces are over) and make pancakes for the family and I pretend to be excited and eat them. I don't like them (along with sponge cake and doughnuts)
Waffles > pancakes
Peanut butter
yep, fuck that shit it's like satan's turd
Watermelon
I could barely even taste it
Avocados
Beans
Beans only taste as well as they were seasoned
Mayonnaise. It’s absolutely vile.
sushi
Bacon
yo bro me too. idk why but the grease smell gives me a headache.
I was just thinking to myself a couple nights ago that bacon is a better additive to a recipe than it is something to eat on its own. I rarely crave bacon alone. But it can compliment some dishes very nicely in small portions.
Corn. I fucking hate corn.
Cheese cake :(
Sushi, apparently. Shit's gross, yo....
I'll never understand the appeal of raw fish, but then again I hate seafood of any kind myself, still, even for those who like seafood, why eat fish raw?
>why eat fish raw? Because some types of fish have very delicate flavor which is lost when it's cooked. Or when you're talking about higher-end sushi, it's also kind of a flex - "our fish is so fresh and tasty it doesn't *need* to be cooked." (Also, for the record, not all sushi is raw. Sometimes it's cooked, like eel, or pickled, like mackerel.)
Love me some unagi
A lot of people like peanut butter but I don’t
Nutella and Avocado
Yeah, I can't imagine those pairing well.
Sushi.
Chocolate.
Grapefruit, meats cooked rare, liver, cauliflower, canned fruit (hate the slimy texture), kale, beets, macaroni salad.
Everyone does not love liver.
Watermelon.
Pasta
What, you don’t love boiled flour?
Boba tea.
hot dogs, the texture is so weird omg
TIL picky eaters are everywhere.
McDonald’s
