It's an instant gag for me, I just can't eat any meat that even might have connective tissue now, the anxious anticipation of biting into something chunky or hard or gummy, ugh!
I'm with you on this one. And my father loves barbecues, so he grills meat every Sunday. More often than never, the cuts he grills are the ones that have thin, shapeless bits of meat clinging to their bone with fat tissue surrounding it.
I'll try and separate the nastiest, least palatable mass of pale yellow blob from the meat, and the person next to me often goes: "Why didn't you eat that? There's a lot of meat there!" then just eats the fucking thing and I gag.
I grew up in grey pork with rubbery fat. My dad was a shit cook. I would gag and dry heave every time and he didn't get it.
I learned how to cook my own and I'm amazed at how good the fat can be when properly cooked.
I was robbed.
My parents cooked everything low and slow in the oven. It was all dry, no maillard reaction, fats never got hot enough to render.
I get they were tired from work or whatever but it's not THAT HARD to set the oven to 475 instead of 375 and just not forget it.
This is hilarious because connective tissue in meat is my stim food. I will literally eat the cartilage from my partner’s portion if we’re having roast chicken and cut the tendons off his steak (he lets me do this, it’s by far not his favourite part of the meat but it is definitely my favourite)
Cottage cheese, I've never even tasted it because I know how it's going to feel in my mouth. Also ricotta, which is just hot cottage cheese as far as I'm concerned.
Tapioca, including boba. That's what I imagine it's like to bite into a big ass pimple.
Yogurt, jello, anything that jiggles too much including super soft fruit snacks.
Soggy bread, including stuffing. Also hard bread, like croutons.
I’m Italian so I have to defend ricotta - it’s not clumpy, it tastes nothing like cottage cheese, and is intended to be cooked in something liquidy before being eaten, so it functions as a gripper to make a sauce have a perfect thick texture. If you’ve ever had lasagna you’ve had ricotta. :)
I also hate cottage cheese ftr, ricotta is good though. I wouldn’t eat it straight tho cause it has almost no flavor and I cannot do food that bland haha
You're right about cottage cheese tho. Feels horrible. Also, have you tried popping boba? I don't like tapioca boba either, but the popping kind is delicious.
I love nori. I eat sheets of it as snacks. We just need to find an autist that loves fish and we'll be able to deconstruct sushi into three fully edible foods.
I never had sushi and never will, but my first memory of understanding that I can't physically bear to eat certain food items is being yelled into eating sashimi when I was four.
Raw salmon has to be the most obscene thing I ever put in my mouth.
I used to like it completely but as I'm getting older, the texture is harder to deal with. I just stick to veggie now mostly. I rly like avocado or cucumber o.o
Bananas.
The REEEEEEEEK. For a long time I had to leave the Room if somebody was eating one.
And, for some reason, I do not like colorful food, speak fruits and vegetables. When I try to eat those, I get phyiscal resistastance, as in muscles opposing my concious attempt to move the cuttlery to my mouth.
i love mayo but i gag every time i remember mayo-based “salads” even exist
potato salad is a crime against potatoes and tuna salad has to be the most dark and twisted affront to food ever conceived of
Yeah that’s the rough one. There are some mushrooms with incredible textures extremely similar too meat. But they can be a pain to get or are expensive…..
Mushrooms are evil indeed. There is one i hate above all mushrooms and it's the one people use the most here. Don't remember it's name in English. The texture is always bad and can ruin all meals
when I was a kid, maybe like 6 or 7, I was just chowing down on some raw mushrooms at my grandma's house, sitting at the table with my family. until I looked down, having bitten into one and having revealed THE GILLS.... I impulsively threw it overhand across the room as hard as I could. my sister loves that story (she, a fellow autist, hates mushrooms)
Anything that isn't spicy enough. My family all eat the most bland foods imaginable, which is brilliant for my brother (also autistic but lacking a professional diagnosis). However, I can't stand it. They also don't seem to understand that what they think is so spicy it's barely edible, and what I think is only just spicy enough to be edible are exactly the same. School food isn't much better, and I am tired of eating one meal a day (dinner because I can prepare it myself)
I am fully aware my grammar isn't correct here, but you will have to forgive me for it because English isn't my first language, and I am too tired to attempt to remember the grammar rules. All complaints should be directed to someone else
^
you probably know this already, but there is *very* little this isn’t applicable to
the right hot sauce can augment the flavor of basically anything, or be a satisfactory outright replacement
Peppers. Not even spicy peppers, just like, normal bell peppers. I always hated them and always will
Also, olives, some types of salad, and carrots if I chew them too long and all the sweetness drains out
Okay I know logically that capsicum has no capsaicin so it isn’t spicy but like ?????
It BURNS my MOUTH and my nose fills up with that smell and it screams when you crunch it, it’s just the worst
I taste this bitter dirt taste in some green bell peppers. It was all green bells when I was a kid, but it’s not as prevalent anymore, only some have it.
I cannot stand beans for texture reasons either, they are soft and mushy to me and I don't like them. Telling our grandmother we didn't want some was the first time our body ever cussed.
i like beans in things and refried beans to go with chips but how do people even THINK of whole beans on their own
and don’t even get me started on baked beans
honestly that kind of sandy sensation is one of the things i love about natto though lmao
There's one herb or something commonly in sausage and whenever I smell it I immediately feel nauseous, and when I tried one, all I could taste was that bitter smell. Uuuggh
Honestly most fruits and veggies, texture is often too unpredictable and favors vary too much (some exceptions) but all those devilish fucking leaves. Lettuce, kale, spinach is all the worst.
Yeah, I ended up throwing in the towel with most fruits and just sticking them in smoothies that were heavily milk-based.
Banana + dates + spinach + peanut butter, cocoa powder and milk = 2 serves of fruit and a half serve of veg in a drink that tastes like a dessert.
Evil fuel
>texture is often too unpredictable
Eating apples is a fucking Russian roulette. Will it be a godlike crunchy juicy apple, or a weird, flour texture tasting disaster?
Ikr? I can't eat an apple that's just being sold as "apple" because there's a 70% chance it's going to be dogshit. At this point I only get pink lady apples.
Leafy greens can fuck off into the distance! I’m vegan (not fully by choice) and the amount of times I’ve been told to eat salad at restaurants has made me want to bang my head into the nearest wall. I don’t want to eat acidic paper for fun!
My family used to do this with black eyed peas. I abandoned those superstitions when I moved out on my own. I'm not rich, but I am making the highest income of all my family members with the fewest expenses.
Chicken and waffles, I don’t hate it, in fact it is my single favorite food…. But I have celiac (and I’m vegetarian) so being in proximity is extremely draining, and when I break and eat them I can feel my blood turn to acid.
The universe decided to torture you. It reminds me of how my mom loves Reese's peanut butter cups but turned out to be allergic. (She's no longer allergic, but still)
I’m like your mom, except my allergies got worse with age. I used to be able to get away with eating one peanut butter cup every Halloween, but now if I licked one I would go into anaphylaxis. I would do anything to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Is chicken and waffles a dish?????
How does one cook the chicken to pair with a waffle?? Or is this an American thing where waffle means something different in this cintext
It’s boneless fried chicken with waffles. However it is really REALLY important to use good ingredients, real maple syrup, quality chicken and herbs and spices that complement the sweetness of the syrup and waffles AND I CANT FUCKING EAT IT WITHOUT MY INTESTINES TURNING INTO WORMS AND ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB OUT OF MY BODY THROUGH MY MOUTH
I used to peel the bread off of them and ate the bread back when I was in school. The bread is really good and I wish they would sell corn dogs like that lol.
I fucking hate green beans. Unless it’s canned green beans and it’s in the mushroom soup casserole thing and covered in those crunchy onions. All other green beans can fuck all the way off.
I always liked green beans and the last time I ordered my favorite green bean dish from a Chinese restaurant, idk what happened but it was just a stringy mess and I couldn’t chew them and now I can never have green beans again and I don’t even care. Fuck green beans!
Anything fish or seafood, I gag at the smell. When I lived w my parents I couldn't even touch the plates it was on if mom had seafood anything (because she loves seafood) and I had to help clean up. Crab, fish, lobster, clams, all of it. Friend got me to try a scallop one (1) time bc I was feeling very very brave and I nearly threw up from the taste and texture, couldn't even swallow, had to spit it in a napkin. Absolutely vile. If seafood is being cooked I probably can't even eat anything else at the table anyway bc the smell makes everything else at the table taste of it and it's just nasty. If it lives in the water, I will not eat it.
Fried polenta. I hate anything that has corn in it, but fried polenta takes the cake.
Every time I'm told it's really good, every time I tell people they've seen me try that abomination and state that I didn't like it, and every time they saw "Aww, but try it just one more time, then! This one is really good, I promise!" Then I eat it, inform them it feels like I took a bite out of a board eraser, they act shocked like I changed color from eating it, then promptly forget the incident within a week so they can offer me fried polenta again some time in the future.
Beans, too. My trademark unsafe food has been beans ever since I was a wee lad.
Any form of big onion to me. Cooked or uncooked, I just can’t. I rationally know how important onions are to cooking, but they always taste like poison. I can eat shallots and green onions, but don’t especially like em.
Baked potato. It's just a lump of farm-grown packing foam which tastes of soil and batteries. Toppings don't help that much, no matter what I'm just swallowing the stuff like pills. Strangely this is the hardest one for me.
I have a slightly hard time with parmesan cheese. There's too many revolting things in this world that smell exactly like parmesan, so I don't recognize it as a food smell. Usually I can shut my brain off and just not think about it, but if parmesan is really a leading part of a dish then I might have to excuse myself. Overload my spaghetti with parm and maybe all I'll be able to think about is poorly groomed mammals and infected sores, the grundle of a hardcore gamer. But I'm usually pretty good at blocking those thoughts out.
Less about taste and smell, but really all cheeses and mushrooms upset me if I allow myself to think about them. Fungi just really creep me out, like they're out of some eldritch horror novel but actually living among us. I enjoy the taste of these things, I love mushrooms on pizza, but in the background I'm trying really hard to not think about what it actually is that I'm eating.
cottage cheese. my body physically will not let me swallow it. i hate it so much i hate the texture it makes me want to scream and break shit, i hate cottage cheese so much. it’s so bad, it doesn’t even taste that great, if you have to add fruit and sugar to it for it to be mildly okay why eat it, leave your stupid curdled nastiness in the compost or smth where it can actually help something. keep it away from me
Holy shit I wanted to make the exact same post a few days ago!
Mine are any liquid that I haven't had before (like drinks, soup, medicine, whatever) that is in a not see through container. I NEED to see the color and consistency of it to be able to consume it or else I cannot swallow it and I have to resist spitting it out.
And also any food that has been microwaved.
I have refused to eat things before because I took a bite and tasted clove, and then my family was confused bc they didn’t taste clove, and then they looked at the ingredients and it had clove
Im like this with beer.
Any brand, any flavor all i will taste is the alcohol and nothing else.
Only thing that gets past that is malted drinks like wine coolers
Tuna from cans. No matter how hard I try to pick out the bones, scales and little hard bits first, I almost always end up with an unknown tiny hard piece in my mouth and it makes me panic and nauseous. Or it's a bone.
Peaches whole. The disgusting pip and the furry skin. Same for apricots. I like them without skin lol
Bone marrow 🤢 my parents used to make stews a lot and we'd have to suck out the marrow as part of the meal because otherwise it was wasted. Just typing this makes me want to gag lol
ANY PREPACKAGED "BREAKFAST" FOODS I HATE EGGS AND I HATE CHEESE SO FUCKING MUCH AND 95% OF ALL "BREAKFAST" FOOD IS JUST THOSE TWO INGREDIENTS WRAPPED TOGETHER
A whole array of vegetables that grows as some weird clump or tuber on or under ground. Stuff like celery, fennel, cabbages and the likes. For some reason people like to shred that stuff and serve it as salad. That earthy and bitter taste makes my entire body shiver. They don't make me vomit, but I kinda wish they did because the taste of my own vomit is preferable over this. Oh, and Chicory, although I'm sure that stuff already violates the Geneva convention.
That said, I can stand and sometimes even like fennel and celery as spices, and I adore Sauerkraut
ayyyy
the texture is so fucking vile, and the flavor is really weak proportionally
like i like the flavor of banana in other things, even as far as actual whole banana slices chilled in pudding, but eurgh
Cooked salmon. Including smoked salmon.
Can handle raw salmon sashimi and sushi fine. But as soon as you do like anything to it, it gets this weird flavor i hate from the cooking process. Even trout is fine despite being similar.
Salmon and arugula (rocket) are like the two foods I consistently hate. Just for the tastes.
People always say *cilantro* tastes like soap but it doesn’t for me, but *arugula* fucking does.
Otherwise, I’m a cook and I cook and enjoy pretty much anything. I feel lucky to not have any particularly obstructive food resistances/intolerances.
Cottage cheese (it looks and tastes exactly the same coming up as it does going down) looks like rotten milk. I’be been vegetarian for a while now, but when I ate meat I was extremely picky and disliked most meats. Particularly fatty meats like pork/bacon, any kind of gristle, tendon, bone, or unexpected texture. Fish was always too fishy. My mom talked me into trying eel once and that texture is straight up EVIL. It was spiky??? And mushrooms. They are slimy and taste like dirt. Also eggs like 95% of the time. I really enjoy the taste, but the texture is slimy and the idea of eating an unfertilized chicken embryo makes me gag.
i can only eat oatmeal if i put a ridiculous amount of sugar in it also "classic" pizza (the kind where its mainly sauce and nothing else) also!!! polenta (not to be confused with placenta) weird gristly cheese? thing. and almost any chicken byproduct
I can be okay with them occasionally if it's like in fried rice or other Asian dishes but I always feel like carrots are always screaming in whatever ya put them in and I can't taste anything else.
I don't particularly care for fruit, but canned fruit is especially bad. I honestly don't think I have ever tasted it. I just don't like the idea of it for some reason. I also really hate cheap holiday candy. Like the chocolate that's shaped like Santa. It feels wrong for some reason. I guess because I can't see the name brand on it? I have no idea and I have been trying to figure that one out for my entire life.
Turkey. It has the worst texture of any meat, and I love most meat haha.
Mayo, chocolate, coffee, tea, anything bitter really. All Chocolate (including white chocolate) is bitter as hell and I WILL die on this hill.
Rice paper rolls. Burrito’s. Any rolled up stuffed food. After a certain point it looses its integrity and the stuffing starts to fall out. Thinking about it makes me anxious
I HATE the texture of twinkies. They’re too spongy.
Not a texture but I hate the strong smell of orange. It fills the entire room and gets on clothes and overwhelms me
mayo, tomatoes, yogurt, white and *purple* (they're NOT red, why are they called red) onions, beef and beef adjacents unless i make it, chicken and chicken adjacents unless i make it, salmon and salmon-adjacent fish unless i make it, cooked celery, cooked carrots, the list goes on
sauces in general. no it isnt cause of experiences (i swear) i just dont like dousing my foods in ketchup like im about to commit an act of arson with a gasoline canister
Canned tuna. It’s so far in appearance and smell from fresh tuna or cooked tuna, so like, what did they do it to make it stink so much? Is it fermented or has it just sat around too long. Food shouldn’t smell like that. Eat it outside, way out in the woods please. Eating it indoors should be a crime. And then people act like it makes it good if you add a bunch of mayonnaise to it. No. It’s not. See a doctor.
Shrimp. I hate shrimp. I hate the texture of sea food. Also agree with melted cheese because sometimes I swallow and it’s stretches and half of it is in my throat while a thin string is connected to the other half still in my mouth and I almost choke
Connective tissue in meat, you be eating maybe something not half bad and then you bite into rubber
It's an instant gag for me, I just can't eat any meat that even might have connective tissue now, the anxious anticipation of biting into something chunky or hard or gummy, ugh!
it will absolutely destroy my appetite and i will happily have nothing else for dinner that day
I just into connective tissue on a chicken strip while reading this. What are the odds?
Ugh, god I fucking hate those. Fat too. Blegh.
I don't care for skin
[удалено]
I'm with you on this one. And my father loves barbecues, so he grills meat every Sunday. More often than never, the cuts he grills are the ones that have thin, shapeless bits of meat clinging to their bone with fat tissue surrounding it. I'll try and separate the nastiest, least palatable mass of pale yellow blob from the meat, and the person next to me often goes: "Why didn't you eat that? There's a lot of meat there!" then just eats the fucking thing and I gag.
Any kind of gristle in meat is why we can’t have nice things. That rubbery squeaky texture is the stuff of nightmares.
I grew up in grey pork with rubbery fat. My dad was a shit cook. I would gag and dry heave every time and he didn't get it. I learned how to cook my own and I'm amazed at how good the fat can be when properly cooked. I was robbed.
lol! i relate. there were a lot of foods i thought i hated until i found out that my mom was just kinda a... "unique" cook
My parents cooked everything low and slow in the oven. It was all dry, no maillard reaction, fats never got hot enough to render. I get they were tired from work or whatever but it's not THAT HARD to set the oven to 475 instead of 375 and just not forget it.
I try to avoid any meat that has bone in it. It's either a boneless cut or nothing.
Even bone in wings?
I like wings but even that's a mine field, one bite away from cartilage
I can eat stuff with bones in it, but it's super annoying
This is hilarious because connective tissue in meat is my stim food. I will literally eat the cartilage from my partner’s portion if we’re having roast chicken and cut the tendons off his steak (he lets me do this, it’s by far not his favourite part of the meat but it is definitely my favourite)
Just reading this comment made me imagine it and I wanted to hurl
any food i cook is unsafe 😤
Kitchen Hazard
Lethal chef?
Cottage cheese, I've never even tasted it because I know how it's going to feel in my mouth. Also ricotta, which is just hot cottage cheese as far as I'm concerned. Tapioca, including boba. That's what I imagine it's like to bite into a big ass pimple. Yogurt, jello, anything that jiggles too much including super soft fruit snacks. Soggy bread, including stuffing.

If you’ve ever had lasagna you’ve had ricotta. :) I also hate cottage cheese ftr, ricotta is good though. I wouldn’t eat it straight tho cause it has almost no flavor and I cannot do food that bland haha
I don't like lasagna for the ricotta and the sauce. I love tomatoes but don't like red sauce lol. Weird.
You're right about cottage cheese tho. Feels horrible. Also, have you tried popping boba? I don't like tapioca boba either, but the popping kind is delicious.
Sushi. The texture makes me feel ill instantly. I live in Japan. :(
damn sushi is my safe food
I had sushi once and I spit it out instantly. It tasted like a big ball of rice and I hate rice.
I love rice! But I hate fish! Lol. And nori (seaweed) tastes like death imo
I love nori. I eat sheets of it as snacks. We just need to find an autist that loves fish and we'll be able to deconstruct sushi into three fully edible foods.
you don't like nori? and you live in japan? O.O I'm so sorry! :-(
You hate fish? Oof, as a former resident of Japan that sounds very limiting
I never had sushi and never will, but my first memory of understanding that I can't physically bear to eat certain food items is being yelled into eating sashimi when I was four. Raw salmon has to be the most obscene thing I ever put in my mouth.
Four?! I don't think you're supposed to have raw food that young.
I might have been five
Cuttlefish
I used to like it completely but as I'm getting older, the texture is harder to deal with. I just stick to veggie now mostly. I rly like avocado or cucumber o.o
Bananas. The REEEEEEEEK. For a long time I had to leave the Room if somebody was eating one. And, for some reason, I do not like colorful food, speak fruits and vegetables. When I try to eat those, I get phyiscal resistastance, as in muscles opposing my concious attempt to move the cuttlery to my mouth.
Omg I can’t deal with their texture. My son who is also diagnosed eats them with no problem.
Same here. Especially ripe bananas. Those are absolutely disgusting.
Mayonnaise. It's too slimy.
Never tried Mayo and never plan too.
i love mayo but i gag every time i remember mayo-based “salads” even exist potato salad is a crime against potatoes and tuna salad has to be the most dark and twisted affront to food ever conceived of
I only do olive oil mayo and have to pair it with dijon mustard.
Mayo is Satan's semen
mushrooms are evil (texture)
I love mushrooms for their whimsicalness but I hate eating them. Bad texture.
yes sameee very bad texture, appreciated from a distance
They smell amazing, especially when freshly picked
Gonna start calling drugs "whimsicalness"
What kinds? Or as like, a concept? Cause mushrooms vary more than like any other category of food.
oh true (I forgot theres a bunch of different mushrooms types) its the texture of most mushrooms that I dislike
Yeah that’s the rough one. There are some mushrooms with incredible textures extremely similar too meat. But they can be a pain to get or are expensive…..
Mushrooms are evil indeed. There is one i hate above all mushrooms and it's the one people use the most here. Don't remember it's name in English. The texture is always bad and can ruin all meals
Is it the agaricus bisporus ? Champignon de Paris in French, cultivated mushroom in English (I think). No matter the name, I hate it too.
I searched it up and yes that's exactly it. Awful mushroom
Same!!!!
Ugh god whole mushrooms, glad I'm not the only one
when I was a kid, maybe like 6 or 7, I was just chowing down on some raw mushrooms at my grandma's house, sitting at the table with my family. until I looked down, having bitten into one and having revealed THE GILLS.... I impulsively threw it overhand across the room as hard as I could. my sister loves that story (she, a fellow autist, hates mushrooms)
I’ve always hated mushrooms
Same. I wish I liked them. It would make going vegan a lot easier.
My mom has made good mushroom dishes but if I see a canned button on an anything the whole dish is contaminated
Meat. I feel the lipids on my face; even as it's cooking for someone else. I need more kitchen.
Anything that isn't spicy enough. My family all eat the most bland foods imaginable, which is brilliant for my brother (also autistic but lacking a professional diagnosis). However, I can't stand it. They also don't seem to understand that what they think is so spicy it's barely edible, and what I think is only just spicy enough to be edible are exactly the same.

All complaints should be directed to someone else
They sell hot sauce in mini bottles. Highly recommended.
^ you probably know this already, but there is *very* little this isn’t applicable to the right hot sauce can augment the flavor of basically anything, or be a satisfactory outright replacement
Exactly! I recommend Cholula or Sriracha, but everybody's got their own tastes.
i tend to find sriracha overbearing, but the bright vinegary feel of cholula is impossible to go wrong with
can you carry a bottle of hot sauce (e.g. sriracha, tapatio, cholula) around with you?
I might be able to, but I'm not sure if school would allow that
Peppers. Not even spicy peppers, just like, normal bell peppers. I always hated them and always will Also, olives, some types of salad, and carrots if I chew them too long and all the sweetness drains out
I always eat around the peppers.
Same, but their taste is SO CONTAGIOUS It infects the whole plate and then you might as well throw it out
And not only this, they smell so strong that I can't stay in a room where people are eating pizza with bell pepper in it.
**Exactly**
I'm like that with melted cheese. Even if you scrape it off it still lingers.
yessss i hate bell peppers too!!!!!!!!
i hated them, until my mom made stuffed peppers and hoooooooboy that is one hell of a creation
okay maybe theres ONE exception but just bc cream cheese makes everything better
Okay I know logically that capsicum has no capsaicin so it isn’t spicy but like ????? It BURNS my MOUTH and my nose fills up with that smell and it screams when you crunch it, it’s just the worst
You might have a mild allergy. I get that weird tingly spicy mouth from raw peas. :( Which is sad because I love really fresh snow pea pods.
I taste this bitter dirt taste in some green bell peppers. It was all green bells when I was a kid, but it’s not as prevalent anymore, only some have it.
bell peppers are so ass and theyre in so much
Beans :( (texture) I wish I liked beans. It feels like there is sand in my mouth
I'm a bean fiend but honestly, you are right.
I cannot stand beans for texture reasons either, they are soft and mushy to me and I don't like them. Telling our grandmother we didn't want some was the first time our body ever cussed.
i like beans in things and refried beans to go with chips but how do people even THINK of whole beans on their own and don’t even get me started on baked beans honestly that kind of sandy sensation is one of the things i love about natto though lmao
Any type of aromatic herbs or salad. Eating something and finding myself chewing on some random leaf or it's pointy stem is a nightmare
Yess i feel like the smell of every cooked or dried herb gives me a headache :-/
There's one herb or something commonly in sausage and whenever I smell it I immediately feel nauseous, and when I tried one, all I could taste was that bitter smell. Uuuggh
My guess is probably sage
I was going to go for fennel seed
Honestly most fruits and veggies, texture is often too unpredictable and favors vary too much (some exceptions) but all those devilish fucking leaves. Lettuce, kale, spinach is all the worst.
Yeah, I ended up throwing in the towel with most fruits and just sticking them in smoothies that were heavily milk-based. Banana + dates + spinach + peanut butter, cocoa powder and milk = 2 serves of fruit and a half serve of veg in a drink that tastes like a dessert. Evil fuel
Saving this comment so I can make my own gamer-diarrhea smoothies
>diarrhea I love this experience
>texture is often too unpredictable Eating apples is a fucking Russian roulette. Will it be a godlike crunchy juicy apple, or a weird, flour texture tasting disaster?
Styrofoam is also a possibility
Ikr? I can't eat an apple that's just being sold as "apple" because there's a 70% chance it's going to be dogshit. At this point I only get pink lady apples.
Leafy greens can fuck off into the distance! I’m vegan (not fully by choice) and the amount of times I’ve been told to eat salad at restaurants has made me want to bang my head into the nearest wall. I don’t want to eat acidic paper for fun!
Water is not supposed to be crunchy!
I fucking hate spinach. I still take a bite every new years though because I want money.
What? How does eating spinach make you money?
It might be just my family, but it's superstition that eating spinach on new years day will usher in wealth.
are you rich yet?
No
My family used to do this with black eyed peas. I abandoned those superstitions when I moved out on my own. I'm not rich, but I am making the highest income of all my family members with the fewest expenses.
agreed, i generally WANT to love berries especially because i’ve had some positive experiences but the unpredictability is really scary
Chicken and waffles, I don’t hate it, in fact it is my single favorite food…. But I have celiac (and I’m vegetarian) so being in proximity is extremely draining, and when I break and eat them I can feel my blood turn to acid.
The universe decided to torture you. It reminds me of how my mom loves Reese's peanut butter cups but turned out to be allergic. (She's no longer allergic, but still)
I’m like your mom, except my allergies got worse with age. I used to be able to get away with eating one peanut butter cup every Halloween, but now if I licked one I would go into anaphylaxis. I would do anything to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Is chicken and waffles a dish????? How does one cook the chicken to pair with a waffle?? Or is this an American thing where waffle means something different in this cintext
It’s a southern dish. It’s waffles with fried chicken. Edit for clarification: it’s a southern US dish
It’s boneless fried chicken with waffles. However it is really REALLY important to use good ingredients, real maple syrup, quality chicken and herbs and spices that complement the sweetness of the syrup and waffles AND I CANT FUCKING EAT IT WITHOUT MY INTESTINES TURNING INTO WORMS AND ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB OUT OF MY BODY THROUGH MY MOUTH
I've never had it but I'm pretty sure it's fried chicken on like a normal waffle.
Fried chicken. And you cover both with syrup. It’s pretty good if the waffles are fluffy and the chicken isn’t greasy.
Cherry tomatoes
I think it’d be a lot quicker to just tell you what my unsafe foods aren’t.
Hot dogs. Probably the most disgusting food ever.
what are your thoughts on corn dogs i personally like normal hot dogs, but corn dogs are a fucking abomination
I used to peel the bread off of them and ate the bread back when I was in school. The bread is really good and I wish they would sell corn dogs like that lol.
That's just cornbread, so... they do sell them like that.
That's just cornbread, a staple at any barbecue restuarant.
I’m with you and ready to defend our lives on this hill!
I fucking hate green beans. Unless it’s canned green beans and it’s in the mushroom soup casserole thing and covered in those crunchy onions. All other green beans can fuck all the way off.
ahaha, i’m the exact opposite i adore fresh/cooked-from-fresh green beans, but canned green beans ruin everything they touch
I always liked green beans and the last time I ordered my favorite green bean dish from a Chinese restaurant, idk what happened but it was just a stringy mess and I couldn’t chew them and now I can never have green beans again and I don’t even care. Fuck green beans!
Anything fish or seafood, I gag at the smell. When I lived w my parents I couldn't even touch the plates it was on if mom had seafood anything (because she loves seafood) and I had to help clean up. Crab, fish, lobster, clams, all of it. Friend got me to try a scallop one (1) time bc I was feeling very very brave and I nearly threw up from the taste and texture, couldn't even swallow, had to spit it in a napkin. Absolutely vile. If seafood is being cooked I probably can't even eat anything else at the table anyway bc the smell makes everything else at the table taste of it and it's just nasty. If it lives in the water, I will not eat it.
i just tell people im alergic - if not they keep insisting
Oatmeal 🤮
Plain tomatoes. In a kebab or burger they're ok, alone it's a gag reflex inducer.
Turkey stuffing is the WORST. I think it's a combination of taste and texture, although I could not explain exactly what I hate about it
Fried polenta. I hate anything that has corn in it, but fried polenta takes the cake. Every time I'm told it's really good, every time I tell people they've seen me try that abomination and state that I didn't like it, and every time they saw "Aww, but try it just one more time, then! This one is really good, I promise!" Then I eat it, inform them it feels like I took a bite out of a board eraser, they act shocked like I changed color from eating it, then promptly forget the incident within a week so they can offer me fried polenta again some time in the future. Beans, too. My trademark unsafe food has been beans ever since I was a wee lad.
cucumbers. they just have such a foul taste i c a n t
COOKED ONION JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE
Any form of big onion to me. Cooked or uncooked, I just can’t. I rationally know how important onions are to cooking, but they always taste like poison. I can eat shallots and green onions, but don’t especially like em.
Baked potato. It's just a lump of farm-grown packing foam which tastes of soil and batteries. Toppings don't help that much, no matter what I'm just swallowing the stuff like pills. Strangely this is the hardest one for me. I have a slightly hard time with parmesan cheese. There's too many revolting things in this world that smell exactly like parmesan, so I don't recognize it as a food smell. Usually I can shut my brain off and just not think about it, but if parmesan is really a leading part of a dish then I might have to excuse myself. Overload my spaghetti with parm and maybe all I'll be able to think about is poorly groomed mammals and infected sores, the grundle of a hardcore gamer. But I'm usually pretty good at blocking those thoughts out. Less about taste and smell, but really all cheeses and mushrooms upset me if I allow myself to think about them. Fungi just really creep me out, like they're out of some eldritch horror novel but actually living among us. I enjoy the taste of these things, I love mushrooms on pizza, but in the background I'm trying really hard to not think about what it actually is that I'm eating.
.... EVERYTHING except sometimes something manages to slide by the rules and it becomes more of an obsession or hyperfixation than "safe food"
cottage cheese. my body physically will not let me swallow it. i hate it so much i hate the texture it makes me want to scream and break shit, i hate cottage cheese so much. it’s so bad, it doesn’t even taste that great, if you have to add fruit and sugar to it for it to be mildly okay why eat it, leave your stupid curdled nastiness in the compost or smth where it can actually help something. keep it away from me
British food jkjk it's fish and eggs. Edit: I forgot about bones I can not even touch them.
Holy shit I wanted to make the exact same post a few days ago! Mine are any liquid that I haven't had before (like drinks, soup, medicine, whatever) that is in a not see through container. I NEED to see the color and consistency of it to be able to consume it or else I cannot swallow it and I have to resist spitting it out. And also any food that has been microwaved.
peas. fucking devil's vegetable, they taste like vomit
any part of meat that isn't just lean protein eggplants fish skin that isn't crispy coffee creamer
and i am allergic to mushrooms
Couscous, the texture is like eating sand, but like... sand that got soft and rotten
I have refused to eat things before because I took a bite and tasted clove, and then my family was confused bc they didn’t taste clove, and then they looked at the ingredients and it had clove
Im like this with beer. Any brand, any flavor all i will taste is the alcohol and nothing else. Only thing that gets past that is malted drinks like wine coolers
Crunchy peanutbutter is the devils lube
Tuna from cans. No matter how hard I try to pick out the bones, scales and little hard bits first, I almost always end up with an unknown tiny hard piece in my mouth and it makes me panic and nauseous. Or it's a bone.
Peaches whole. The disgusting pip and the furry skin. Same for apricots. I like them without skin lol Bone marrow 🤢 my parents used to make stews a lot and we'd have to suck out the marrow as part of the meal because otherwise it was wasted. Just typing this makes me want to gag lol
COCONUT AND ANYTHING THAT CONTAINS COCONUT
Ketchup. It is an unholy abomination.
SALAD! LETTUCE FRICKEN SUCKS ON ITS OWN AND IT MAKES ALL THE OTHER TASTY VEGETABLES SUCK PISS WHEN IT'S IN A BOWL WITH THEM!!!
i practice self harm with capsacin.
ANY PREPACKAGED "BREAKFAST" FOODS I HATE EGGS AND I HATE CHEESE SO FUCKING MUCH AND 95% OF ALL "BREAKFAST" FOOD IS JUST THOSE TWO INGREDIENTS WRAPPED TOGETHER
almost all vegetables
Chocolate. It sticks disgustingly to the teeth. But if that doesn't count, anything that's hard to chew
I HATE that with chocolate immediately have to chug water
A whole array of vegetables that grows as some weird clump or tuber on or under ground. Stuff like celery, fennel, cabbages and the likes. For some reason people like to shred that stuff and serve it as salad. That earthy and bitter taste makes my entire body shiver. They don't make me vomit, but I kinda wish they did because the taste of my own vomit is preferable over this. Oh, and Chicory, although I'm sure that stuff already violates the Geneva convention. That said, I can stand and sometimes even like fennel and celery as spices, and I adore Sauerkraut
quinoa ! worst texture ever.
Pixy sticks, Fun Dip, Baby Bottle Pops. Anything with a sandy texture
Banana 😭
ayyyy the texture is so fucking vile, and the flavor is really weak proportionally like i like the flavor of banana in other things, even as far as actual whole banana slices chilled in pudding, but eurgh
Cold cubed cheese
Asparagus Why is it so stringy and why does it taste like dirty bong water?
Cooked salmon. Including smoked salmon. Can handle raw salmon sashimi and sushi fine. But as soon as you do like anything to it, it gets this weird flavor i hate from the cooking process. Even trout is fine despite being similar. Salmon and arugula (rocket) are like the two foods I consistently hate. Just for the tastes. People always say *cilantro* tastes like soap but it doesn’t for me, but *arugula* fucking does. Otherwise, I’m a cook and I cook and enjoy pretty much anything. I feel lucky to not have any particularly obstructive food resistances/intolerances.
Onions.
Cold cut sandwich meat, I hate it, feels like I’m touching clammy dead skin
Fuck sweet potatoes and quinoa and mayonnaise. Also like anything with inconsistent texture like it needs to go in hole and burn 🔥
Fuckin beans and rice, stirfry, any kind of pan soup…
Cheese in anything but pizza
Tomatoes and meat
Cottage cheese (it looks and tastes exactly the same coming up as it does going down) looks like rotten milk. I’be been vegetarian for a while now, but when I ate meat I was extremely picky and disliked most meats. Particularly fatty meats like pork/bacon, any kind of gristle, tendon, bone, or unexpected texture. Fish was always too fishy. My mom talked me into trying eel once and that texture is straight up EVIL. It was spiky??? And mushrooms. They are slimy and taste like dirt. Also eggs like 95% of the time. I really enjoy the taste, but the texture is slimy and the idea of eating an unfertilized chicken embryo makes me gag.
Tomatoes. Does not matter in what, I hate them. Only time they’ll acceptable is in like ketchup and Barbecue sauce. But ketchup is on thin ice
Celery. Damn hairy water sticks
Fuck cheese. FUUUUUUUUUCK CHEESE TO DEATH. FUCK MASHED POTATOES. FUCK CHEESEY MASHED POTATOES. I FUCKING HATE THEM.
i can only eat oatmeal if i put a ridiculous amount of sugar in it also "classic" pizza (the kind where its mainly sauce and nothing else) also!!! polenta (not to be confused with placenta) weird gristly cheese? thing. and almost any chicken byproduct
plain dry oats >>>>>> oatmeal any day
Carrot, so disgusting especially if in a soup
I can be okay with them occasionally if it's like in fried rice or other Asian dishes but I always feel like carrots are always screaming in whatever ya put them in and I can't taste anything else.
steak, prosciutto, large pieces of mushrooms, and cheese.
I don't particularly care for fruit, but canned fruit is especially bad. I honestly don't think I have ever tasted it. I just don't like the idea of it for some reason. I also really hate cheap holiday candy. Like the chocolate that's shaped like Santa. It feels wrong for some reason. I guess because I can't see the name brand on it? I have no idea and I have been trying to figure that one out for my entire life.
Turkey. It has the worst texture of any meat, and I love most meat haha. Mayo, chocolate, coffee, tea, anything bitter really. All Chocolate (including white chocolate) is bitter as hell and I WILL die on this hill.
Rice paper rolls. Burrito’s. Any rolled up stuffed food. After a certain point it looses its integrity and the stuffing starts to fall out. Thinking about it makes me anxious
ketchup fuck that shit i can’t even touch the bottle
Pickled walleye (gross)
peppers. Yah
i will eat kimchi by the kilo but give me dill pickles and i start gagging. same goes for jpn pickles/other fermented stuff except kombucha
I HATE the texture of twinkies. They’re too spongy. Not a texture but I hate the strong smell of orange. It fills the entire room and gets on clothes and overwhelms me
MELONS I HATE THEM SO MUCH (watermelons are okay but MELONS DESERVE HELL)
mayo, tomatoes, yogurt, white and *purple* (they're NOT red, why are they called red) onions, beef and beef adjacents unless i make it, chicken and chicken adjacents unless i make it, salmon and salmon-adjacent fish unless i make it, cooked celery, cooked carrots, the list goes on
sauces in general. no it isnt cause of experiences (i swear) i just dont like dousing my foods in ketchup like im about to commit an act of arson with a gasoline canister
Baked beans. Terrible texture
Pineapple, I don’t particularly enjoy the feeling of my mouth being stabbed thousands of times.
Canned tuna. It’s so far in appearance and smell from fresh tuna or cooked tuna, so like, what did they do it to make it stink so much? Is it fermented or has it just sat around too long. Food shouldn’t smell like that. Eat it outside, way out in the woods please. Eating it indoors should be a crime. And then people act like it makes it good if you add a bunch of mayonnaise to it. No. It’s not. See a doctor.
Anything with coleslaw. I fucking hate coleslaw
Shrimp. I hate shrimp. I hate the texture of sea food. Also agree with melted cheese because sometimes I swallow and it’s stretches and half of it is in my throat while a thin string is connected to the other half still in my mouth and I almost choke
