Non-picky eater food dislikes. Don't know if that got the message across, but I am lookig for people who, despite enjoying nearly all the ingredients nature has to offer, to share that one food that does not do it for you. AKA, don't tell me that you don't like anchovies if you also don't eat onions or tomatoes or mushrooms because you think they are icky.

For me, it has got to be cumin. Forgive me for being nasty, but it smells exactly like vagina. It is pungent in the worst way. I mean, if it's somewhere deep in a braised Moroccan lamb shank, a sort of subtle layer to the flavor, it's cool, but I find the stuff itself utterly repulsive. That is truly the only ingredient I can think of that I don't like.

One more thing: note that this thread is not to talk about prepared foods or recipes or cuisines you don't enjoy, like kimchi or sriracha or whatever.

Sorry to sound demanding, but I would like for this to be a food dislike thread that is narrower than "/ck/ unpopular opinions thread" with posts like "eggs are gross, deal with it B^D"

Celery. Especially raw uncooked.

I find the flavor really objectionable in soups and stuffings. It's very powerful, and since a single stalk of the stuff can yield high quantities when chopped it's EVERYWHERE in the dish. Discretely picking it out is also tedious.

Raw celery literally hurts my guts. When I used to eat a few pieces when I was dieting as a snack my insides would be cramping and writhing in agony trying to digest the stuff. The texture is also stringy. The little heartstrings get stuck in my teeth. And the flavor just doesn't do anything for me. I've never heard of anyone's top favorite food being celery and I think there's a reason for that.

Nothing can describe my hate for this abomination. I wish I could go back in time and take a leaping shit on the guy who thought this would be a good idea to introduce into cuisine.

I don't like sea cucumber, or silk worms.

Milk. I don't care if it's icecold, it has the possibility of becoming lukewarm. Tepid milk is one of the most repulsive things ever, somehow it's even more repulsive than warm milk.

I know the sea cucumber I've eaten was fresh, so I'm pretty sure that dislike is genuine. I ate the silkworms as a soup in a Korean restaurant, but I've seen canned silkworms in a few of the Asian markets around here, so I suspect the ones in the soup may have been canned. I've heard they're good fresh and deep fried, but I've never had the opportunity to try them that way.

I love raw tomatoes on a sandwich, in a salad, pico de gallo, etc.

Ketchup has no place on a burger. That's what the tomato is for. I don't even like ketchup on fries. I'd rather have garlic aioli or tartar sauce. Pizza? Anything with olive oil, alfredo or pesto will do just fine, thank you. Pasta? Macaroni and cheese, please. (But honestly I think pasta sucks as a starch. I'd rather have rice, bread or potatoes.)

That's not to say I'm above being hungry. None of my friends and family are aware that I dislike cooked tomatoes. And they never will. Stating your dislikes unless asked is fucking rude and shallow. Be a god damn man and eat what's given to you and be thankful for it.

This guy knows what's up.

But as much as I dislike olives, they're probably not qualified to be that one food. There's a small number of foods I dislike and avoid, but none of them inspire the same level of revulsion as cottage cheese. Everything about it, the smell, the texture, the taste, even the look of it is vile.
Sometimes my job carries cottage cheese and fruit cups. No one fucking buys them, so when I need to throw them out at the end of the day I have to fight off nausea. Absolutely disgusting.

OP here, glad to see this thread gained legs. On the obligatory "ITT: Autism." in pretty much every thread ever posted these days-- nobody is saying "stop liking what I don't like". Picky eaters are despicable because they are unadventurous-- they eat one bad steak as a kid and declare that steak is icky for the rest of their life. Rather, this is the thread for "I enjoy all foods, but this one thing just really doesn't do it for me no matter how hard I try."

For me it's Asparagus. I eat pretty much everything--sushi, wild game, organ meats, lima beans, soft runny cheeses that smell like a dead man's feet, all manner of seafood, shellfish, I suck the heads of shrimp/crawfish, vegemite/marmite, liver, black pudding (blood sausage), fish sauce, and the vast majority of veggies...but for some reason, I just cannot stomach asparagus.

>>4331722

although I will say that you shouldn't give up on onions, man. Like >>4331767 said, there are hundreds of savory recipes where sweated or caramelized onions are key... All stock, so many braises, sauces, pastas, sautés, etc. may I suggest Amatriciana, which is a quick pasta of pancetta or bacon (Anglicized version), onion, crushed San Marzano tomatoes, and chili P. Slice and render the bacon in the pan, add diced onion, caramelize it altogether. Add some crushed garlic at the end. Deglace the pan with balsamic, add quality canned crushed tomatoes. Boil the pasta, when it is just al dente, strain it and add it to the sauce, which you can hold on low heat. Toss in some greens or blanched veg like asparagus tips with a chiffonade of oregano or basil along with chili powder and cracked pepper... Also salt to taste, but not too aggressively since the Parmesan is salty. Plate and snow the Parmesan atop. This is such a delicious pasta and it will definitely get you past your dislike of onions.

Raw onion is extremely overpowering and just gross. Cooked onion is great. Cilantro is bothersome in a similar way, but it's less overpowering and doesn't bother me in smaller quantities, so I'm not sure that I'm one of those people it tastes "soapy" to.
