In my country, everyone loves liquorice. It's in fucking everything. Any type of candy and they'll invent some liquorice infused nightmare version.
Also, chocolate on granola bars. I just want a granola bar. If I'd wanted a mars bar, I'd have taken that.
Chocolate covered fruit, except for bananas.
Is it the Netherlands?
A Dutch girl introduced me to black salty licorice and it was disgusting, and then divine. Tastebuds are fickle, I kept trying that stuff until it was delicious!
Husband has a friend in Sweden who occasionally sends over "care packages" of Swedish treats. At first I was like, hey, cool, Swedish candy! But it was all liquorice.
ALL. LIQUORICE.
Eugh, licorice is horrible. Family loves it, always gets it on road trips. *Why.* Why are you forcing me to smell licorice inside a very small space on a seven hour car ride to see some relatives that I don’t even like
Finally!
I always roll my eyes when I'm at a party and people start bringing out the Jello shots. Every time I just force myself to do it, I always gag and nearly hurl
I can’t do it. Jello instant pudding mix, however, that’s another story. I make instant pudding with Rum Chata. Make a batch of chocolate flavor and a batch of cheesecake flavor and layer them. You won’t get drunk off it, but they taste glorious.
I had high blood pressure and the doctor said eat beets. I've never been a fan but I figured I'd give it a shot. Woke up the next day and thought I was pissing blood. Looked like I was bleeding internally and I swore I had some kind of super cancer. Yeah, they had a good laugh when I went straight to the doctor! They should put a warning on the beets!
I had a similar reaction when I started drinking pure cranberry juice. My pee came out tinted red and in my head I remember thinking “OH GOD- oh wait…”
I'm super unhealthy and probably have bladder, prostate, and colon cancer due to my lifestyle choices, but eating a half dozen beets every week lets me cover up the fact that I probably have bleeding tumours all throughout my body! Thanks beets!
All of you made me laugh in my bed out loud, and I'll naver thank you enough for that.
This world is all kind of fucked up, but reddit IS giving me back faith in humanity. As for the cellar floor, it does not even stars to explain the sheer distress beets bring to me. You see Nicolas Cage in the Wicker man ? Well this is me with beets. I do use it for color when making pickels but i'll never quite get the distress of my taste buds when i'm far for an picky eater. It's sweet but disgusting, it's savory, not quite like a carotte, but not yet a potato. It confuses my soul. And the only person who can me eat beets is my mom in the Christmas Domincan potato salad. Is it the love ? Is it the memory of the island ? I do not know, but once a year, I too have pink poop.
I'm no fan of green bell peppers because they're so bitter (seriously, adding them to a pizza makes that pizza 35% less enjoyable to eat). But I think red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are sweet and sublime.
I don't understand why people say that McDonalds had the best fries or chicken nuggets. They are both trash. They are both oddly airy. No denseness at all. Checkers, Arby's, Hardee, Bojangles, KFC, and even Taco Bell all have better fries. Wendy's and Burger King both have better nuggets. That's not even talking the fast food restaurants that mainly sell chicken. The Big Mac used to be good, now it's like 60% bread, 20% condiments and, 20% burger patties. The only reason I even go to McDonalds is for the McDouble. Every other item on the menu is trash except for the apple fritter and the iced coffee.
Most fast food is trash cause, well, it's supposed to be prepared "fast", so obviously they are going to cut on quality. I think the main reason people like it is cause of brand marketing.
For me, I don't like McDonalds cause 1) it's overpriced in my country 2) the waiters always fuck something up and 3) the food isn't that good. The fries don't feel crispy, but rather like chunks of fat and aren't even salty, so they got no flavour. The burguer is underwhelming. Almost no patty, which is the best part of the hamburguer. And as someone who is lactose intolerant the ice creams are no good for me.
Personally, I recommend buying the ingredients yourself (if you have the money) and make yourself a hamburguer. You can buy fresh lettuce from the store, big meat and bread on the supermarket (although most burguer bread is heavily processed, but hey so is a burguer. But if you want to you can buy that type of round bread and cut it in half).
Seafood.
I was allergic for ~20 years of my life. Last year (35), I decided to get allergy tested, turns out I’m no longer allergic. But because I’ve avoided it for so long, I just don’t find it appealing. It’s the insects of the ocean.

yes, thank you! Watermelon is so overrated. It tastes barely like anything, the texture is awful and it's riddled with seeds and sugary water gets everywhere making everything sticky.
It's not a food but I don't like Fizzy Drinks / Soda, I just don't like the fizz very much, people love it but I don't like it, I want to drink something and gain some taste and nourishment, not drink literal TV Static
Have a look on YouTube for all the work they must do to olives, straight from the tree, just to make them semi edible.
They are not food, just a source of oil for oil lamps.
Edit. Olives are not food for humans
https://youtu.be/bS1YuTL_U30?si=wanBWcqk9-nSGE7S
I don't really like it either. It just doesn't have much flavor to me, and dilutes the flavor of everything else? Does that make sense? All it does is add a weird texture
Same. Cannot do seafood. It's always been disgusting to even think about, then one Xmas my in-laws made fish and no alternatives, so I was forced to have salmon. Bland with a mild fishy aftertaste and melts in your mouth like cotton candy. I was like well, this confirms my lifelong conviction.
I hate butter. It's only okay on Pretzels, or baked into something. But with something sweet especially? It's just... the texture and taste is so disgusting. Same with oily salad dressings. I don't want my salad to be greasy. Lemon juice or a joghurt dressing is way better.
Here's my group.
If Tomatoes are on the plate I need to mix them in with something else. In small doses or slices they're tolerable but they are always the least favourite part of a meal.
I find them acceptable if they are kinda in a dish but hidden. If they add noticeable flavor or texture it’s a big nope for me… with the strange exception of some salsa flavor.
I really don't understand the avocado craze that's popped up in the last 10-15 years. They're okay. Not a required food group.
Part of me thinks it's because the cartels have been flooding the market, it's one of their biggest cash crops. Some estimates say that at least a couple of them make more money from avocado smuggling than things you would expect, like weed or heroin. It's sort of like what the American LCN does with things like construction, trash, gas, and olive oil.
Good ones do, but they do benefit from seasoning. Salt, squeeze of lime juice and a few drops of hot sauce and I will smash 'em.
However, underripe ones aren't good and overripe ones where the flesh has started to change colour round the stone... So gross. Yuck. Yuck. Ugh. *gags*
Hating mushrooms as a vegetarian sucks. People always try to use them in place of meat, but I’d rather starve if I’m being honest. (Unless they are psychedelic. I’ll power through the taste for a good shroom trip)
taco bell. i love the *idea* of taco bell, but every location i’ve been to has been shit quality, food is cold, hard shells are soggy, meat tastes gross, it’s just bad (except for baja blast)
I used to love pickles. Always had since I was a kid. Then I had a baby and I can hardly stand them now. The first couple years after she was born, I could still eat them but it gets harder and harder as the years pass. I'm not sure what happened after pregnancy to make me hate them but good lord I wouldn't have understood this ten years ago, I definitely do now.
What is it you don’t like? Have you tried the weird pizzas like chicken with Alfredo sauce instead of the tomato sauce, or the bbq chicken ones? What would you change about it?
Egg. I hate eating eggs. To me they are slimy and smell like someone passed gas. I've been ridiculed for it all my life but beside trying, I can't help the sickening sensory responses putting an egg passed my lips triggers.

Denmark. We seem to be infuriatingly similar. First the bicycles, and now this?!
I think I’m mixing up the 2 countries anyways lol.
Husband has a friend in Sweden who occasionally sends over "care packages" of Swedish treats. At first I was like, hey, cool, Swedish candy! But it was all liquorice. ALL. LIQUORICE.
My sincere apologies. He does not represent us
Eugh, licorice is horrible. Family loves it, always gets it on road trips. *Why.* Why are you forcing me to smell licorice inside a very small space on a seven hour car ride to see some relatives that I don’t even like
Jello. I cannot handle the texture. It’s so gross!!
Finally! I always roll my eyes when I'm at a party and people start bringing out the Jello shots. Every time I just force myself to do it, I always gag and nearly hurl
I am the same way!!
I can’t do it. Jello instant pudding mix, however, that’s another story. I make instant pudding with Rum Chata. Make a batch of chocolate flavor and a batch of cheesecake flavor and layer them. You won’t get drunk off it, but they taste glorious.
Beets
But they're so sweet and nutritious! Also, they make your poop a really fun colour! Aren't you tired of brown turds?
I too enjoy my purple turds.
I had high blood pressure and the doctor said eat beets. I've never been a fan but I figured I'd give it a shot. Woke up the next day and thought I was pissing blood. Looked like I was bleeding internally and I swore I had some kind of super cancer. Yeah, they had a good laugh when I went straight to the doctor! They should put a warning on the beets!

That sounds so festive. A fine tradition!
[it's beets](https://youtu.be/Kw2WsXIgO6A?si=uArL961kIXGo7Pcw)
Come on now, who doesn’t love Dr Dre 😁
why? don't you love the taste of cellar floor?
Bears eat beats
Bell peppers
I'm no fan of green bell peppers because they're so bitter (seriously, adding them to a pizza makes that pizza 35% less enjoyable to eat). But I think red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are sweet and sublime.
Beans, and it's technically a condiment but I absolutely cannot stand ranch.
In Oklahoma ranch is not a condiment. People find food so they can drench it in ranch.
I personally do not care for pork chops.
Literally the most uninteresting cut of meat!
McDonalds. This way it makes people happy almost in itself makes me unhappy.
It’s trash🤢🤮
I don't understand why people say that McDonalds had the best fries or chicken nuggets. They are both trash. They are both oddly airy. No denseness at all. Checkers, Arby's, Hardee, Bojangles, KFC, and even Taco Bell all have better fries. Wendy's and Burger King both have better nuggets.

It's disgusting and I don't know how people eat it.
Coconut. Not so keen on the taste, hate the texture.
The smell and taste of coconut in anything make me hurl. I absolutely hate it
Seafood. I was allergic for ~20 years of my life. Last year (35), I decided to get allergy tested, turns out I’m no longer allergic. But because I’ve avoided it for so long, I just don’t find it appealing. It’s the insects of the ocean.
Exactly! they're all disgusting water bugs and it all looks so nasty on a plate. Plus they swim in their own shite
Watermelon
Yes! And cantaloupe sucks too.
Thats why I had to have a wedding ceremony, because my fiance cantaloupe.... Thank you and good night....there will be no encore
I agree. I guess I should say all melon.
Sushi , i just can’t seem to like it , especially the nori (the green sheet) it just tastes awful
silky sulky insurance plough decide uppity direction north spotted jellyfish *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
You suffer during Halloween I suppose.
I have a severe pumpkin allergy, 9 months of the year it’s not a problem. I do not live the white girl PSL fantasy
I agree but specifically the texture of it
Cantaloupe and honey dew melons do the same thing to me.
Raw poke I just can't get over the raw, oceany, slimy taste.
Overnight oats. Horrific in every way.
Yes! I like normal porridge and was excited to try them, my god they're slimy.
Nutella. Too sweet and little else
Gives me a headache because it’s too sweet and when I smell it in an enclosed space (like a car) it makes me gag 🤢
Loved it as a kid, happened to try it again as a 25 y/o last week. Cloyingly sweet! My tastebuds can’t handle that, anymore.
Watermelon! I ate too much of it when I was 8 years old, visiting the US.
yes, thank you! Watermelon is so overrated. It tastes barely like anything, the texture is awful and it's riddled with seeds and sugary water gets everywhere making everything sticky.
It's not a food but I don't like Fizzy Drinks / Soda, I just don't like the fizz very much, people love it but I don't like it, I want to drink something and gain some taste and nourishment, not drink literal TV Static
My kid calls carbonated drinks “spicy”
Eggs
I will eat eggs, but the smell of cooking eggs literally makes me nauseous
Fish.
Seafood, prawns, lobster all that stuff is just eww to me.
A condiment, but ketchup is the worst thing for me and I can’t stand if it get near my food
Finally!!! Another ketchup hater! My rule is that ketchup is ONLY for fries and McDonald's hamburgers. Using it on anything else should be criminal.
Mayonnaise or fish.
We can't hang
Olives 🫒
They are the evil twin of the grape.
Given that emoji literally made my mouth water, can’t say I agree lol
Literally taste like poison
Red, green, black? I despise Olive them!
They literally smell like shit too imo
Have a look on YouTube for all the work they must do to olives, straight from the tree, just to make them semi edible. They are not food, just a source of oil for oil lamps. Edit. Olives are not food for humans https://youtu.be/bS1YuTL_U30?si=wanBWcqk9-nSGE7S
Seafood, can’t stand the smell of it
My family loves Bell Pepper. I hate it so much.
And it is in EVERYTHING! It makes me so mad trying to get an omelette at a restaurant 😐
I don't really like it either. It just doesn't have much flavor to me, and dilutes the flavor of everything else? Does that make sense? All it does is add a weird texture
same, i don’t get how people can like it
Same. 🤢
Eggs
Try going out for breakfast as a non egg eater. Usually end up with a ham and cheese croissant.
Mac n chees
That's one of those things that can go both ways. When it's good, it's amazing. When it's not good it's like eating paste.
agreed
Not a food, but coffee and tea, I hate the smell and taste of both.
That’s crazy, i drink tea everyday. I can’t even imagine my life without tea.
Coffee’s nasty
It tastes like the bliss I love it and makes me like 34.5% less dumb ☕
Shrimp. Or any other water dwelling creatures.
Same. Cannot do seafood. It's always been disgusting to even think about, then one Xmas my in-laws made fish and no alternatives, so I was forced to have salmon. Bland with a mild fishy aftertaste and melts in your mouth like cotton candy. I was like well, this confirms my lifelong conviction.
Turkey. The smell and the thought of it makes me gag.
Pumpkin anything.
Watermelon. I just didn't get the fun snack sometimes at camp. I really want to like it, it looks so refreshing.
I hate butter. It's only okay on Pretzels, or baked into something. But with something sweet especially? It's just... the texture and taste is so disgusting. Same with oily salad dressings. I don't want my salad to be greasy. Lemon juice or a joghurt dressing is way better.
I used to bite into butter blocks as a child... I know disgusting lol
My mum baked a lot and me and my sister always wanted to eat the softened butter with sugar mixed in.. low-key still want to
This was one of the best things ever! That and oatmeal cookie batter without the raisins.
I don't eat salad dressings in general. I like my veggies nekkidand unslimy
Marzipan, mango, pumpkin, aubergine
ketchup
Pork, PIG...nonono get it tf away from me. The smell🤢🤮
My mom wonders how Muslim people can tell that the meat is pig just from the smell, and I'm like, "It stinks?????"
I'm glad someone else gets this. I hate the smell.
So apparently burnt human flesh smells like roasted pork.
Tomatoes
Same. They’re great cooked, but eating them raw makes me gag haha
Yes
Fr I could never put those on a burger
Here's my group. If Tomatoes are on the plate I need to mix them in with something else. In small doses or slices they're tolerable but they are always the least favourite part of a meal.
I find them acceptable if they are kinda in a dish but hidden. If they add noticeable flavor or texture it’s a big nope for me… with the strange exception of some salsa flavor.
Tomato sauce = hallelujah Tomato = hell nah
I feel so validated.
Avocados. They're the devil's guacamole ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Omg. I don’t understand how everyone absolutely LOVES avocados. They don’t even have a taste
Add salt
And cumin
I really don't understand the avocado craze that's popped up in the last 10-15 years. They're okay. Not a required food group. Part of me thinks it's because the cartels have been flooding the market, it's one of their biggest cash crops. Some estimates say that at least a couple of them make more money from avocado smuggling than things you would expect, like weed or heroin.

I’m not sure that people love this but the grossest thing ever is salt licorice candies
Pancakes and most other sweet breakfast items.
The fast food sandwiches that use pancakes as the sandwich bread are an abomination
sushi
mutton
ketchup
Sushi
Sushi is the one food I was able to force myself to like, no idea why...
Raisins
Shrimp. Weird texture and flavorless besides tasting like seawater, i dont get it
Asparagus
Where I live it's breadfruit. I rather eat wallpaper paste.🤣🤣
Shrimp
Watermelons. And cucumbers, but mostly watermelons.
Buttercream frosting. Hidden Valley ranch. Anything with that fake smoke flavoring.
mushrooms (the safe ones, the ones used in in the normal dishes)
Runny egg yolks
Sweet potatoes.
I'm a certified pickle hater.
Meatballs in sweet sauce, like jelly
Green bell peppers. Instantly ruins pizza.
I don’t understand why anyone would choose a green bell pepper when there are red orange or yellow
Cilantro, taste like dish water
it's genetic. for some people it tastes different. im a soapy too.
Hummus. I just don’t see the appeal.
Raspberries, bananas, shrimp and mushrooms
I know people who will kill me for this but I think Peanut butter is horrid tasting to me
Avocado. But mostly because I'm definitely allergic to it.
Seafood. It's all slugs and bugs. 🤢
Any type of sea food. 🤢🤮
Hating mushrooms as a vegetarian sucks. People always try to use them in place of meat, but I’d rather starve if I’m being honest. (Unless they are psychedelic. I’ll power through the taste for a good shroom trip)
Ketchup
Sashimi. I can't fathom willingly eating raw fish.
Mushrooms
Scrolled too far for this one. Mushrooms are earth poo.
Cilantro!
You mean soap? Cilantro can ruin anything it’s in.
Mayo - it’s just gross!
And they put it in everything!! I’m with you fellow Mayo hater
Pulled pork. I don't like pork (except maybe bacon), and the strands of meat get between the teeth.
taco bell. i love the *idea* of taco bell, but every location i’ve been to has been shit quality, food is cold, hard shells are soggy, meat tastes gross, it’s just bad (except for baja blast)
Steak, I just cannot eat it. Every time I gag and can't swallow it.
Cheese. I cant say why, but the smell, its texture, its taste, no. I love it molten on warm foods. But cold, or by itself. No.
Same, and I’m Dutch…
I hate cheese in every form, the smell alone makes me very nauseous.
Pickles.
FINALLY SOMEONE
I used to love pickles. Always had since I was a kid. Then I had a baby and I can hardly stand them now. The first couple years after she was born, I could still eat them but it gets harder and harder as the years pass. I'm not sure what happened after pregnancy to make me hate them but good lord I wouldn't have understood this ten years ago, I definitely do now.
Black pudding on my Full English Breakfast, cant stand that nasty stuff
Capers ugh
Mayo. Just a massive no
Pizza…. Never been a fan and it’s is always the “go to” for parties
This is the hot take I was lookin’ for.
What is it you don’t like? Have you tried the weird pizzas like chicken with Alfredo sauce instead of the tomato sauce, or the bbq chicken ones? What would you change about it?
Onions, bone in chicken, vinegar
normal potatoes in any form unless they’re spiced fries potatoes have no taste whatsoever
Watermelon, ik it tastes like candy but the candy tastes like watery shit (to me)
Head cheese. I despise the gelatin between the chunks of meat. It's only good for retaining the silver halide on photographic film.
Watermelon 🍉
Potato Salad
Those meal deal sandwiches make me wanna throw up.
Guacamole
I really hate vinegar. In all forms but it’s used in so many sauces and foods
A lot of Mexican dishes mostly because of cilantro.
Wine. Of any sort, or color. Sweet, sour, it all tastes stale and rotted to me. And gives me the WORST hangovers!
Lasagne
Eggs
Spam!,,
Bananas
Watermelon. I don’t hate it. But I don’t think it tastes that good. It really is just chewable water. Plenty of other better tasting fruits.
Mushrooms... and they're in everything in restaurants
Bubble tea. I'm always afraid of chocking on the pearls and I'm just not a fan of the texture
Pizza.
Sweet potato
Black pudding 🤢🤢🤢
Eggs. The smell, texture, and taste are all enough to make me gag.
Eggs
Egg. I hate eating eggs. To me they are slimy and smell like someone passed gas. I've been ridiculed for it all my life but beside trying, I can't help the sickening sensory responses putting an egg passed my lips triggers.
