I don't like olives, either. Something about the taste is off to me, no matter what kind - pitted, unpitted, etc. And my boyfriend is Middle Eastern, so you can guess how disappointed he is.

Beets! I'd love to love beets, but I've yet to taste one I like.

Here in England, there was a programme called 'Cooking in the Danger Zone,' wherein the presenter travelled around to war-torn countries, and other places that had a contraversial food culture, and tried to make sense of the local cuisine. One of the places that he went was Korea - both North and South. At the time, my boyfriend and I were eating a lot of Korean food and were (and still are) very interested in Korean culture. But in that programme, he profiled the dog industry. We watched the 'farmers' bring the dogs to market, we saw the dogs confined to iron cages, and we watched the presenter walk into a restaurant and order a dogmeat stew. It was one of the most repulsive spectacles I have ever witnessed. So I'll eat beets and olives and eggs, but I will never eat dog meat.
...Oh... and I also hate stewed okra.

I love beets! I love love beets. I would eat beets any day of the week. Alaina Browne, you are bad and wrong for not liking beets.

I try to avoid organ meat.

Oh how weird. I'm a very picky eater but love uni. But fresh tomato especially the seedy slime....yuck. I also don't like semi- or uncooked eggs. It smells fishy to me. Not a big fan of entrails, brains and most offals.

Marzipan. Horrid stuff.

I come from Ukraine where cow's tongue is considered a delicacy.
I have vivid memories of opening my fridge when I was young only to find an enormous raw tongue neatly displayed on a platter.
It scarred me for life; I've never tried it and never will

Radishes! Those little red things are horrible! I can't imagine why anyone would want to eat those hard, hot, little rocks. (My aversion may be connected to the fact that almost all my mother ate when she was pregnant with me was radishes and hot tea.)

Lucia, funny I am the same way! I do not like jello and prefer the yolk of a hard boiled egg. I just don't like food that jiggles! That might have something to do with my aversion to gravy....once it cools it's quite jiggly.

While there are a few foods that I only tolerate, the only one I can't/won't eat is Blue Cheese or any other cheeses of that ilk masquerading under a different name. Oh yeah, if the taste is really prevalent, cilantro would be included too.

I absolutely will not eat raw carrots,as I don't like the taste. Cooked carrots are great. I also don't like mushrooms, (it's a texture thing) and will pick them off a pizza. I've also been known to pick them out of stroganoff and shrimp scampi, but only if hubs makes it at home.

I will absolutely not eat beets, oatmeal, raisins (or any other dried fruit for that matter) and chunks of cooked carrots (when I use carrots in soups, I grate them or cut into tiny matchsticks, then they don't bother me, but I simply cannot bite into a chunk of a cooked carrot). I will not eat most cooked fish (other than Chilean sea bass, but only prepared in a certain way). Oops. it was supposed to be "the one food" I won't eat...[hanging head in shame]
