Your Mount Rushmore of most hated foods?

1. beans
2. peas
3. Miracle whip
4. swiss cheese

When used as an ingredient, all four completely ruin otherwise good dishes.
 
1. Mushrooms -The name itself makes me cringe
2. Chicken pot pie - I got food poisoning once from one and now if I smell it it makes me gag just like Ice 101 liquor.
3. Green Beans - I keep trying them but I just don't get the love for them, even hiding them under cheese doesn't work.
4. Raisin infused food- Couldn't think of anything else but I agree with other posters, why do they have to ruin perfectly good food like Bread Pudding and Oatmeal Cookies with F'ing Raisins! Maybe it's a Grape thing I hate those cold grape salads people make over the holidays as well.
 
A lot of good choices here.A few foods I had put in the Sailor brain lock box of nasty foods comes from my mother.
My mother loved to fry liver and onions.She also loved fried pig brains.To me that is latter day child abuse.And her potato salad was runny.
I love my mom,but damn I can still smell those fried pig brains.

1. Bread Pudding - admit it, this is prison food from the mid-1500's

2. Tapioca Pudding - WTF is this crap? It's like a rat took a crap in a cup full of penguin vomit.

3. Snowballs or anything with Coconut - lather up Gisele Bundchen in coconut tanning oil......WOULD NOT.

4. Pecan Pie - this shouldn't even classify as a pie. At best it's squirrel bait that would last 12 months tied to a tree.

1. Bleu cheese
2. Goat cheese
3. Egg plant

I used to hate brussel sprouts too until I learned to cook them right. Steamed or boiled isn't the way to go IMO. Roast them instead. Toss with EVOO, salt, pepper and your favorite spices (I go with an Italian profile of herbs and garlic, but really anything you like, southwestern, lemon pepper, asian). You can also add cheese like parmesan and/or bacon. Cook in the oven at 400 for 30-40 min. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle little balls of flavor, no surprise I like those. Now one of my favorite veggies.

They are also good with a bit of bacon, apple and balsamic vinegar, roasted of course.

My BIL makes sprouts for Christmas dinner. Absolutely great. Garlic, oil and walnuts, among other things, and he doesn't overcook them.

Wow, you don't know to add brown sugar to the EVOO, salt, pepper, garlic? It will change your life.
 
Sweet sprouts? Can't say that makes my mouth water. Are they candied?
I parboil them for 2-3 minutes to gets 'em nice and green and then slice them in half. Then they gets put on blast under the broiler until a little crispy on the outside. Cabbage rulz.

Why put sugar on a vedge-et-ta-bull?

Any casserole...you would only like them if you were a hungry street urchin or lived in Mozambique. Anyone who enjoys baked crap with tons of cheese on it has severe emotional problems...
 
And uni, the gonads of the sea urchin, is some of the finest shit you can throw down your hole. But this Casey's pizza and ranch dressing crowd wouldn't know flavor if it sneaked up behind them at Ryan's Steakhouse and, uh, I don't know.

I'm calling up stephanie patrick and going to eat some gonad. Just as soon as he gets back from the SF - Seattle game.
 
The next time I order a garden salad and it shows up with black olives will probably be the last I eat outside of prison.
 
You crazy!
Apparently I have the "Cilantro tastes like soap" gene.

When people say they hate cilantro, they often attribute this food feeling to a soapy aftertaste. Thanks to a new video from SciShow, we finally know why cilantro tastes like soap for some 4-14 percent of the population.

"How cilantro tastes to you has a lot to do with your genes," says SciShow's Hank Green. He explains that after conducting a few separate studies, scientists were able to pin down most cilantro haters as people with a shared group of olfactory-receptor genes, called OR6A2, that pick up on the smell of aldehyde chemicals. Aldehyde chemicals are found in both cilantro and soap. Uh, yummy?

If you are one of those anti-cilantro folks, at least you know that it's not really your fault and you can blame your parents. To avoid that soapy taste in your dishes, we suggest swapping parsley for cilantro.

Agree with a lot of people on here. FYI, the sea urchin sushi is actually sea urchin gonads. I got tricked into eating it on a first date. I'm now married to that woman.

1) Brussel Sprouts
2) Raw Coconut
3) Black Licorice
4) Raw Oysters
5) Cooked Peas, Carrots, or Broccoli. I love those items raw. I can tolerate them cooked in a soup or pot pie.

Do you you also detect a strong odor in your urine after you eat asparagus? I have that gene.
 
This thread is actually making me hungry.

BTW

Don't use EVOO to cook with; that's not what it's for as it degrades quickly in all by the most gentle heat. Use light olive oil to cook with and then drizzle a small amount of extra virgin on afterwards. Your food will taste dramatically better.
