For whatever reason, what food/foods turn you off the most?
details
For me, it's "parmesan cheese", absolutely ...sorry, but how anyone can eat something that smells like "vomit" is beyond me. It tastes terrible too.. I end up breathing thru my mouth in restaurants if someone uses parmesan til the rancid smell passes or i just vision myself moving to a far-away seat..LOL ..but that wouldn't look good. =)
(i'm not too big on fresh seafood, either.. *battered fish from the freezer/restaurant is good though)
My food has to "smell" good or i can't eat it..
details
Mm put a little parm and olive oil over asparagus and bake it in the oven and it is DELICIOUS smile

It does sort of smell like feet tho lol


Liver
Veal
details
Crab and Lobster too. Ick. Can't eat anything that looks like a giant roach.
details
That's funny...that's what my dad calls shrimp: sea cockroach

Mushroooms :s

jeez, this is seriously difficult for me. i am a total foodie so i like a LOT of different foods. i think the way some foods are prepared can be a turn off. like stewed tomatoes. or the chunks of strawberries in strawberry preserves. they both have a stringy, snot-like consistency. it's more or less textures that turn me off most.
oh! gorgonzola cheese smells and tastes wretched! it can taste decent if it's paired with sweet fruit or candied nut but it's nasty by itself.
i dunno, there are plenty of foods out there that i'm not a fan of but i can't say that they're not tolerable. anyone ever try durian?
details
i fucking HATE apple juice.

and eggplant
details
hate olives, and plain cheese, anywith with cheese is fine. Eating it alone just *Ewww*

Oh yeah!! I cannot eat cheese alone!! Ugh! My grandmother loves it like that.
details
LOL, you know you're TOO funny for the food boards Shaka, ha ha ..Gotta LOVE the virgoan humour, btb! Winking ..say, arn't virgo's rather picky with food? Don't they kind of 'smell' everything, before they eat it, or is the digestion rather sensitive?? =) I remember you almost upchucked your yummies at the mention of James Blunt at one time..winky wink* ..didn't know whether to split a gut or cry over THAT one..LOL!
details
I hate tomatoes. They're so wet and those slimy seeds. Now that I think about it I pretty much hate all fruits because of the wetness. I'm cool with bananas though because they are dry.
details
^^^lol i dunno why i think thats so funny. my older sister hated fruit when we were younger because she didn't like it when her hands got sticky. she's a virgo rising. go figure smile
details
Curry makes me Sad Sad Sad Sad
details
OMG i love food so much i eat everything except i hate anything fake....like low fat foods that taste like shit non real mayonaise I swear I went to this pretentious cafe and i got like marinated baked vegetable foccaia and some idiot put low fat mayonaise on it and i tasted it and I swear i was gonna break that plate over the cooks head and make him eat his shit of a creation but i didnt and that how much of a good person i am.....yeh I agree parmesan dont smell good but i still eat it when i need some zing
oh and i used to live with this korean chick and she used to make me eat pickled fish guts i wasnt too fussed on them but i love dried squid and I'm addicted to kim chi
details
Beets
Tofu
(some) cheeses
details
I hate unpeeled eggplant. I feel like walking into the kitchen and butchering the chef, everytime I'm served eggplant parm that isn't peeled.
details
liver
goat meat - the smell of it cooking makes me gag
bananas - I can drink it in a smoothie but not by it self. something about it I just don't like.
Slimy food.
boiled hot dogs.
details
the majority of cheeses.
details
mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, and corn.
haven't found much else that i cant stand
details
Citrus rind, citron, anise ( or anything remotely close like fennel ), radioactive candied fruit, faux flavoring, anything with eyestalks still peeping at me..lobster, unpeeled shrimp, crab faces comes to mind, flippers/heads/gills left on fish ( makes my gut curl up ). Oh and anything so hot you feel the burn twice.
details
I hate curry
details
and thin pasta / noodles like Angel Hair
details
i hate tomatoes. they are the fruit of the devil
details
Liver - eww.
And any kind of shellfish, just totally grosses me out even looking at it.
details
Oh and jelly. It's just the texture of it.
details
I am a very adventurous eater, and would try anything once. I always try new stuff off a menu. But there's one I can identify from the first half bite and am totally repulsed by.

or
I can swear they taste the same.
I must have been a shepherd in one of those past lives. I'd even eat a fried insect than eat lamb.
details
Steamed clams are disgusting....fried clams are ok.
Any type of raw fish(sushi) or meat(tar tar) is gross too.
Not too crazy about deer meat either in any prepared form.
details
Sushi is disgusting. I do enjoy game though. Bambi, Thumper, and while I'm at it, I'll take that goat. You may keep the lamb though. Poor baby.
details
I never liked liver. Never have, never will. I don't like the flavor & it has the consistency of a turd. I like lamb, but goat is way too gamey-tasting for me. Natto (fermented soybeans) = Castor Oil to me. I'm not too big on cream cheese or cottage cheese either.
details
i think people are turned off by sushi and meat prepared tar tar style because they're raw. that was my aversion to it as a kid... then i tried it. *drool*

Oh this oughta be easy!
1. Pickles! UGH!
2. Raw onions or peppers. If I can see them OR taste them, I won't eat it!
3. Cold vegetables! I know, I know..vegetables are good for you. And don't get it twisted, I DO eat vegetables, it's just that I prefer for them to be cooked vs. raw & cold!
4. Mustard! I'm not big on spicy food & believe it or not I consider mustard to be a bit "spicy."
5. Beets! If I even SMELL beats anywhere around me, I'll get nauteous!
6. Oatmeal! GROSS! I don't see how people eat that stuff! YUCK!
7. Grapefruit! Call me weird but grapefruit & cantelope is disgusting!
8. Any kind of food that is from certain animals! For example, do NOT ask me to eat pig's feet, deer meat or frog legs!
9. Potato and/or pasta salad! Whether it's cold or hot, I won't eat it! It's gross in my opinion!
10. Anything SPICY! I eat for the flavor! I don't see the point in eating something that makes me feel like my tongue is gonna fall off! I don't see the point in eating ANY food that requires a full glass of milk/water afterwards b/c it's so hot! I'd rather have that same piece of chicken WITH the flavor, WITHOUT all the added spicy herbs!
details
Beg pardon, wha??? I do not understand this question!
details
Tomatoes- The texture and the taste gross me out. I don't even like ketchup very much.
Onions- They can be alright if they are sauteed... otherwise I can't stand the taste.
Sauerkraut- My bf can eat it right out of the can or jar.... it smells like the sewer!
details
Liver. Its so disgusting my mom used to cook it and it smelled like raw shit from those porta pottys. I never ate it I wanted to throw the hell up and when I did taste it first time I thought it was shit.
details

Grapefruit is straight up garbage. Can't stomach it.
details
Liver and onions!
details

I get turned off when I see olives on my pizzas.
details
bananas. why are you so slimy? Sad it's disgusting.
they're just deceptive. you bite into one, it's firm. you chew and it turns into mush? get out of here.
details
Anything with meat in it. Murder is not tasty.

No I just won't ever try them. Been to places while traveling where people reek of dog breath though - china or Korea - they eat it to stay warm.
There are a few exotic meat like croc and snake that I would try.

I live in mushroom country... mushrooms are ok, the smell not so ok! Trust me on that... mushroom farmers have a VERY, VERY strong nose!
I, too, can not handle curry (although I do like things VERY spicy), nor do I do fish (shellfish are 'ok'), and I don't care for things typically considered eccentric (I like a good 'ol fashion home cookin).
WTF, just let me cook and everyone will be happy! Promise!!! smile

My nephew was telling me about trying a live octopi, I think that is at the top of the list of things to never attempt.
