what foods do people think you're weird for not eating?

annanas · Jul 29th, 2008, 08:47 PM

i'm a fussy eater apparently. people are always really confused by what i won't eat, so i thought i'd start a thread about it

these are all purely because i don't like the taste, not because i'm allergic or the foods aren't healthy or they could be considered unethical. if i included those the list would be even longer

-bananas
-egg yolk
-almost all cheese
-pork
-lamb
-milk
-sausages
-lettuce
-pickles
-ravioli
-baked beans
-bbq sauce
-beer
-lettuce
-cupcakes
-most american candy (not because i'm prejudiced against it or anything, but i almost always find it far too sweet)

I'm not a huge meat eater (usually only poultry) so I get a lot of stares when I tell people I don't eat hamburgers, steak, or sausage. I'll eat them if I have to but I'm not particularly fond of them.

raspberries
shrimp
liver or any other organ meat (including poultry liver mashed up with spices and cognac or what have you and referred to as "foie gras.")
sushi/sashimi
turnip greens
caviar (unless it is tiny bits in that creamy lemony Greek dip I forget the name of)
rutabagas
salmon

I can't eat fish of any kind--my whole family is crazy about most all fish and shellfish and can't understand why I won't eat it--I have tried--shrimp, crab, lobster, perch, salmon, tilapia--trust me I wish I could eat it but I just can't its either texture or fish stank that repulses me...

Jello
Pudding
Twizzlers, etc.-I'm not even sure if I spelled that right.
Gummy worms, bears, fruit candies, fruit roll-ups, etc.
Oranges-I'm allergic.
Bananas
Mushrooms
Hamburgers-I haven't had one since I was 7, I'm 25.
Steak-I don't like the taste of plain red meat. I can handle it if it's in Italian or Mexican food, but not on its own.

I'm not sure if these are considered odd foods to not eat, but here is my strike list (because I don't like the flavor, primarily):

- tomatoes
- seafood (yes, all seafood... I can do sushi and southern fried catfish, but that's it!)
- mushrooms
- mango
- odd parts of animals (organs, feet, etc)

There are more, I just can't think of them right now!

Bell peppers have the most atrocious taste.

Tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms.............

scarlett_2005 · Jul 30th, 2008, 12:21 AM

Olives-way too salty. I almost threw up
Mushrooms-it's a texture thing. Cooked mushrooms have the texture of eyeballs.

Sardines-they smell awful

Don't want to see it even close to my plate.
