What is the one thing (or the few things) that you just can't eat? I know that we all have foods we just can't take, so I'm just curious how what they are!

For me, I can not eat raw tomato and 99% of fish. I try all the time but I just can't get past the flavor/texture.

Sad to say, since it's so good for you, but coconut. I detest everything about it. The taste, the smell.....everything! Blech!

Beets. Beets. Beets.

And, yeah, that's about it.

Kidney, liver, brain, etc. from any species.

I can choke down coconut, but I can't stand the flavor.

Raw tomato is fantastic! I eat them like an apple with a salt and pepper shaker handy.

Bite...shake, shake...bite...shake, shake...bite...shake, shake...bite...yum!

The best thing to remember about any food is "Somewhere, at sometime, someone ate this, and LIKED IT!"

Ew! I would say fish, mushrooms, kidney, and that dried seaweed is AWFUL!

Yuck... Who really thinks dried seaweed can replace any snack??

my yuck food is... well...... ummmmm............hmmmmmm. no, all the real stuff is good. one time my friend boiled a whole raccoon and it was a little funky, but it made great raccoon hash with onion and sweet potato the next morning.

Kidney definitely. Rabbit and lamb kidney is almost tolerable but I sTill have to fight it down if I catch a whiff of something "off" while chewing or swallowing.

Years ago a friend from Malaysia made some funky fermented fish curry that I had to literally fight every inch of my esophagus from fork to stomach.

I don't like cheap, canned black or green olives... But I will eat dozens of olive bar olives.

I don't care for fish... Really more of a "meh" than a "yuck" though.

Chicken is the ultimate "meh" food for me. It doesn't repulse me but I'd rather fast than eat it.

Celery. They kill my life. Unless smothered in something neolithic like peanut butter or cottage cheese I just can't get to like them...and I hate how the little strings get stuck in my teeth.

For me it's offal because of the strong flavor/texture, most shellfish, and cooked mushrooms because of the texture, and little strong-tasting fish like anchovies or sardines. I also cannot stand brussels sprouts, although I've tried hard to become friends.

For my birthday once the brother of a dear friend went to great lengths and prepared a whole platter of exotic shellfish - lobster, clams, mussels, oysters, shrimp (I know that's not a shellfish but I put it in that category)... man was that a test of my poker face. thank god for butter and lemon juice.

Anything made with coconut flour. Love coconut, but the "replacement" flours all make me feel like I've eaten a large pool raft. And everything comes out tasting like crumbly sponges.

In my former life, I couldn't stand birthday cake and really resented when it was pushed on me. Now I am running slow motion through a field of fats and vegetables and loving every minute.

Turnip! Hated it as a girl, won't make it for my family as a woman (though I guess I shouldn't deprive my daughter of the icky experience)!

Strong fishy tasting fish (mackerel, bluefish, sardines, herring, anchovies, etc), fish eggs of any kind, and the single most vile substance to ever pass my lips: uni (sea urchin gonads)

sardines. I tried opening a can the other day for lunch and upon viewing the little slimy, scaley things physically shuddered and literally had to leave the room and make my boyfriend remove the can. I think it's an aversion developed from over exposure to my brother's dead pet fish throughout my childhood that I just can't stand small fish. On the other hand, I love crispy skinned salmon or sea bass.

What brand of sardines? Give Crown Prince Brisling sardines a try if they weren't specifically labeled. They're delicious, really not fishy, and have a pleasant slightly smoky flavor. – Blitherakt Apr 19 2012 at 6:20

Crispy bacon/chicken skin aside (which, yum), I can't deal with non-crispy visible chunks of fat on meat (steak, etc.). I love fatty meats. I just really can't deal with chewy separate fat on it. Ew.

Fish, especially tuna. The smell makes me want to hurl.

I absolutely hate onions, raw or cooked. I'm hyper-sensitive to the smell; it makes me physically ill. I can even smell them on someone's breath if they've had onions within a 24 hour time period. Seriously hinders my enjoyment of salsa.

There are lots of things I don't prefer to eat, but for dislike, it's mostly licorice. My ex-BF loved to drink Sambucca and it would just turn my stomach every time. I also dislike beets and bananas.

Also, I've aleways hated liver as a kid, but I'm gearing up to try it again after 20 years. I like chicken livers so I think I might be able to hack it this time, even if I don't love it.

I like to gently fry mine in either Kerrygold butter or bacon fat. It really helps the flavor. – Nance Apr 18 2012 at 21:11

oysters, olives, and grapefruit. There used to be a bigger list, but over the years I've come to like most of everything. I don't think I'll ever like these last 3 things though.

Liver.

Cooked mushrooms.

Fat (unless its crispy)

Worst of all: Beets

I can stomach everything else if I can just mix it to mask the nasty element--but beets flavor everything and their texture is revolting.

Brocolli, brussel sprouts, and liver.

I used to hate beets - I thought they tasted like dirt. Now I like them.

I really dislike beef liver. I think it tastes like what the side of a barn would taste like.

Fake cinnamon candy like cinnamon hearts make me sick. Yet I love real cinnamon.

Yes to beef liver. I can handle chicken livers, lamb liver, and pork liver (in pate). But beef liver I just can't do by itself no matter what I try. (I sneak a tiny bit into meatballs from frozen, grated because I hate the smell and texture of fresh.) – blueballoon Apr 18 2012 at 22:22

I personally don't find green peppers or cauliflower add much to the gastronomic universe, and I will be tasting green pepper burps for hours afterwards.
