Cucumber.  It's the taste and the smell.  Everybody says it doesn't taste of anything, but it bloody does.

^ This. About the only food i really don't like. Cucumber is the work of the devil and probably also the spawn of Lucifer. Also, isn't it one of those foodstuffs that contains so little goodness that you use more energy eating it than you get from it? A sort of negative food. No point to it whatsoever.

pretty good source of vit C and fibre. You don't just eat food for calories.

I always force my veggies down if they're bad quality or cooked wrong, for the nutritional goodness.

My main hates are tomato ketchup and butter.

Definitely this. It's hugely bitter and kinda slimy. Apparently sprouts contain something bitter that lots of people can't taste, and those who can taste it don't like them. I'm pretty sure cucumber is the same as it certainly doesn't "taste of nothing" as people always told me growing up!!

I've been a veggie for most of my life now, but fish and shellfish have always made me retch. The faintest whiff of it has me gagging. Tapioca. Why would anyone make a pudding whose sole purpose is to make you think you're eating frog spawn? *boak*

Anyone seen 'Bizarre Foods America'?

The one where there was a load of fish heads they'd buried at the low water mark, left them to ferment for a couple of weeks, dug them up and ate them? Or the one where the Eskimos were netting small birds, sticking them in a sack, and doing the same?

I'd rather eat celery.

Was that Iceland with the fish heads?

Controversial one:

Chocolate with fruit and/ or nuts.


Peanuts I like, Mars bars I like... Snickers? NOOOOOOOOOO

Dairy Milk I like, dried fruit I like, nuts I like....Cadbury Fruit And Nut? NOOOOOOOOOO


My drummer mate hates a mix of sweet and savoury together - put sultanas in a curry and he goes apeshit, serve some cheese with a slice of apple, same thing. Despite what I say above, however, I LOVE those combinations.

I also hate natural yogurt. Vile.

Not sure hol, I thought it could have been Alaska, but whatever, it was completely stomach-churning.

This is like reading the dietary wish list of a bunch of 8 year olds.
I don't like celery.
When presented with celery I eat it because I'm a fucking grown up.

In that case give us your addy, and we'll post it all to you!

fermented fish heads seems to be a thing across a number of cultures. What I want to know is how did they independently of each other come to the conclusion that rotting fish heads are a good thing to eat? The most plausible answer I can come up with is that aliens came here at some point in the past and posed as gods and told, as a joke, various indigenous peoples that it would be a good thing. You can trust inter galactic travelling aliens, run 'uns to a man.

I don't eat it because I'm a fucking grown up and can choose and prepare my own food without leaving it to the random hand of strangers.

wasn't it down to them being starving and there wasn't anything else to eat so they went Oh what the hell?

I'm the opposite. Cadbury's Dairy milk is sweet, sickly, and cloys in the mouth. But with those crunchy nutty bits & the raisins it's actually quite nice.

Snickers? STOOPID name for a product. When Marathon bars became unavailable I didn't buy their substitute.

Sultanas in curry is something ONLY dimwit canteen chefs do. Apple-smoked cheese is OK so long as you get a glass of port to go with it.

Assuming that the human sense of smell is the same across different races and cultures, it's the most plausible theory so far.
