What foods seriously put you off your feed?

Not cooked fish fillets, especially tuna 'only seared' is not good for me. I have to have the fish fillets cooked, am not a sushi person. Thank you.

dumpling dough

Ignore my comment of Bisquick. If the dumpling dough you want are for pot stickers this would not work, the dough is too sticky. You could use pie dough, like Pillsbury just unroll Pie Crust and cut into squares or use a doughnut cutter; this would work. Hope this helps you. Tyloo

Burnt coffee- the smell kills me. I feel like its in my clothes and pores and sinuses. And there is burnt coffee in the kitchen at my office EVERY DAY. I always pour it down the sink, but the smell lingers.

I'd rather starve than eat raw garlic; onions that aren't thoroughly cooked to the point of disintegration; any form of cilantro and parsley. I'm sure there's more stuff I don't tolerate well.

Dishes are sent back to the kitchen when I'm at a restaurant, if I even detect a scent. I've immediately vomited at restaurants when I've bitten into a hidden raw onion in a sandwich/wrap, it's so embarassing. The, uhh, outburst happens too quickly that I can't stop myself...which is why I always repeat myself and have them repeat my requested omissions, so they remember why the dish is being sent back.

Apologies to MFK Fisher et al, but I literally can't stomach raw oysters!

Haggis? The tripe in menudo? The smell of chittlins cooking? Head cheese? Tongue (it's a texture thing).

HHHhhhmmm... do I see a trend here? I do like certain offal -- pate or liverwurst is fine, and I absolutely adore sweetbreads. I've even had deep-fried rocky mountain oysters, which were actually just fine (though I'd never seek them out). I guess I'm extremely selective about it.

Also...

Mayo anywhere in proximity to avocado. Love mayo, but the combo is a major gagger for me.

There's a whole slew of foods that I find revolting with ketchup. Hot dogs and fish immediately come to mind. Although I make an exception for cocktail sauce with shrimp. It's not that I despise ketchup. It's just that the list of foods that aren't inedible with it is very, very short.

But that's pretty much it. In truth, I'll eat most anything if hungry. Very few things are downright stomach-turning.

Nothing yet. Guess that's why so many friends invite me over for dinner. Not being picky has its perks.

This sounds really weird, but pesto in a sandwich.

I know, crazy right? It looks delicious and smells absoluuuutely heavenly, but for some reason I can't seem to stomach it very well. Not that I don't try...I've made my own at home and am trying to wean myself on it, but for some reason a nice pesto and tomato sandwich leaves me feeling sick afterwards. It's another one of those 'smells better than it tastes' foods.

that and mayo. That stuff is the most disgusting thing you could ever smear on a sandwich.

you know, not a whole lot, i have to be honest. pretty much:

offal, cauliflower in almost any form, lima beans, grapefruit.

of those, grapefruit is by far the worst. people are forever doing the "come on, it's ruby red/tangerine/apple/lots of sugar" or whatever the heck. doesn't matter, i can still taste it and i still hate it.
