I am a very adventurous eater. So when I was thinking of what is a hard pass for me it took quite a while to come up with 5 things I won't eat but here they are.
1. Hot beverages. I don't have anything against coffee, hot chocolate or tea, I just don't care for hot beverages. It could be freezing cold and I may drink three or four sips but that's all I can handle. I can't explain it other than to say I've been that way my entire life.
2. Organs. I just can't make myself eat them. Liver, hearts, brains, etc. Many years ago a I went with a friend of mine to a truly authentic Mexican place in Florida where they only spoke Spanish and the menu was in Spanish. I ordered a dish that looked pretty good. I took one bite and it was NOT something I found enjoyable to say the least. I asked her what the hell is this and she replied cow brain. (Taco de Sosa's) That was the day I decided to learn to read and speak Spanish.
3. No soggy pasta. I don't think this needs an explanation.
4. Kale. I've tried it multiple different ways and I just don't like it.
5. Couscous. I think it's a textural thing.
Any food that you just really never want to eat again? Enquiring minds want to know. Have a great day!!
Oh my! I can't stop laughing at #2. If you like chroizo, you probably don't want to see the ingredient list!
ReplyDeleteYes she thought it was very funny too. Made me learn to read and speak Spanish though. No, I won't eat chorizo.
DeleteI don't like coffee or hot tea (often unless sick)- but do like hot chocolate., Love iced tea!
ReplyDeleteI like fried chicken livers - but that is it. Don't like chorizo either
Yep, no soggy pasta
Kale fresh is OK with me.
Never have liked couscous for some reason.
I like all three but I just can't drink more than a few sips. TBG sits down with a huge mug of a hot beverage and I just can't see how he can drink it all. I think the couscous is a texture thing for me.
DeleteMy FIL didn’t like hot drinks, either. I’m surprised on the kale and couscous! I won’t eat sushi or any raw protein because I’m paranoid about parasites, etc.
ReplyDeleteYes, sushi or raw protein is a hard no for me too. The fear of parasites is real. I like hearing what others say no to.
DeleteLiver, beets and bananas are all hard no's. I don't eat plain eggs no matter how they are cooked, but will make exceptions for frittatas, omelets (at least a few bites) quiche, or a breakfast casserole
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying seeing what is a no for everyone. I know a couple of people who just can't do the eggs either.
DeleteI'm ok with hot beverages when it's cold out but it doesn't get cold enough down here in Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteMy "No" List would be Kale(just NO!), Quinoa(the sand of the Grain
World), Cilantro(I have the genetic marker that makes it taste like soap). Otherwise I am open to trying anything else. 8-)
TBG can drink hot drinks even in the summer when we lived in South Florida. I don't understand it. I'm with you on the kale!
DeleteI can do liver but I would have to draw the line at cow brains.
ReplyDeleteI tried hummus and can't stand it. I know there are a few others but can't think of them right now.
I love hummus but TBG doesn't. I make it to bring to work since he won't eat it. I can't do liver at all.
DeleteHi lori. Here's how I got Hubby to like Kale. Hey, that'll have to be an upcoming blogpost title. I like it. Anyway, I get organic kale from Aldi. it'salready chopped which I don't usually fancy, however it's all they have.
ReplyDeleteAnyway in the stand mixer goes the chopped Kale with whatever dressing. I set the mixer on low and let it go until the texture is sutter. Season, add whatever else we want, veg, beans, stuff like that. Then into the air tight container and fridge. He didn't even know it was kale. Easy to to mix in other greens. I like cilantro. The cilantro goes into the stand mixer same time as the kale.
Happy Week to you. Cheers and boogie boogie.
That is a great blog title! Wishing you a great weekend.
DeleteSome things I cannot abide eating are actually allergens. That includes green peas that I hated all my life. I will not eat beets, cantaloupe, cucumbers, hot beverages but I am not allergic. Johnny Carson did not drink hot drinks. I do drink hot chocolate because it is chocolate, but then I have to drink a glass of ice water to get rid of the chocolate stuck in my mouth and the heat in my stomach. So, it is certainly not to warm me.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot more people that also don't like hot drinks than I thought. Food allergies are hard to deal with. I'm thankful that I don't have any.
DeleteI remember when I was newly pregnant with my oldest and I had an absolute craving for liver. I also remember having a degree of morning sickness and I chatting with one of my ex's uncles who had a bit of food stuck to his lip. I thought if that comes flying at me I'm going to be sick - and I was! No more liver for me after that!
ReplyDeleteOh no! That's a funny story but not for you at the time. That would do it for me also.
DeleteFun topic!
ReplyDeleteMy least favorite food is coconut. I think it is a texture thing as I don't mind coconut milk in curry and such.
Kale is up there too, although Aldi has a sunflower chopped salad that has some kale, and it is really good.
We went to a Korean place, and my son ordered some squid dish, and it was like chewing rubber bands. Never again.
Liver is on my list too. We bought part of a cow a few years ago, and the liver, tongue etc are buried in my freezer as I couldn't bring myself to cook them.
We are somewhat adventurous, as my husband quotes Mae West, I'll try anything once, twice if I like it...although he is definitely pickier than I am. He won't eat squash or sweet potatoes or brussel sprouts, kimchi, liver...
Hi Kathy. It's been fun to see what others don't like to eat also. That squid dish sounds horrible. I often worry when I'm trying new things if I really don't like something or was it not cooked properly. That's why I'm picky about trying as authentic as I can when I am eating something new to me.
ReplyDeleteoh yes kale is the devil's work! Never shall it pass my lips again. hehehe.
ReplyDeletesherry
It truly is!
DeleteSomeone doesn't drink any hot beverages either; I drink coffee, tea, cocoas, herbal you name it - especially in winter. A hot cup of bouillon on a January night kept me happy.
ReplyDeleteI find that interesting because I know you've mentioned that Someone never really gets too cold. I am the same way. Yet you and TBG drink hot beverages and always get cold. Hmmm.
DeleteI think I will borrow this meme; it sounds fun to consider.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would love to read yours and see what your readers have to say also. It is fun hearing all of the different things people will not eat.
