For me it’s liver.
I’m sure I have mentioned it before.
When I was at infant/junior school we had it regularly on the lunch menu. I always left mine.
Boy did I get into trouble because of that.
Yes, I know it is good for you, yes I know there are people in the world that are hungry …..
But …..
I just can’t stomach liver.
Once I was told I couldn’t go out to play if I didn’t eat my liver. ….fine ….i stayed in. It was Winter and I think I got a good deal there !
Another time I was told I couldn’t eat my pudding if I didn’t eat my liver …..I said “ My Mom pays for my dinner and my pudding so I’m going to eat my pudding.”
Even at my great age ….i still hate it and can’t eat it.
Is there a food that you have never liked ?

@Traceyjayne I thought for sure as an adult it would grow on me, but no.

@AmbiePam my friend did try it once but the texture made her heave. Now she can’t even look at it…..she’s over 50.

I have a friend who can’t even sit at the same table as someone eating cottage cheese.

I also hate liver. I have even tasted liver in pepperoni which ruined it for me. I will only tolerate it in a breakfast meat called Scrapple which has a small amount of pork liver in it.

@Traceyjayne It is a Pennslyvania Dutch dish. I haven;t seen it out of the state of PA, although it may be served in other places.

When someone used to tell me there were hungry children somewhere in the world, I'd tell them to call them and tell them to come and eat whatever I didn't like.
NOTHING will get me to eat okra!

@Traceyjayne Mom kept trying to force us to eat okra. After I threw up on the dinner table, dad told her to stop forcing us to eat stuff we didn't like.

I’m with you on that.
I’ve never tried okra but many times I’ve seen it, it really looks slimy ! No thank you.

I just can't bear the smell of ripe jackfruit and never eat them.

I have heard of jackfruit and seen tins of it in the shops but I have never tried it.

@Traceyjayne My husband loved it lot and brought them home sometimes. My gut got churned by its smell.

Liver, raw onions, shrimp (can't handle the texture), tripe or anything odd like that.

I’m okay with raw onions ….the big Spanish ones …but I agree with you on all the others.

@Traceyjayne I like crab, lobster and clam strips; but for some reason the texture of a shrimp turns me off.

We had delicious eggplant fritters in Spain last year ….but I only ever use it in mousakka. We call it aubergine here.

I can cope with liver. I've never eaten tripe and don't want to but really I don't know if I'd like it or not. It just doesn't appeal to me.

I have tried to eat anchovies in the past; I did not like the taste of the meal.
