As for foods, there are none I get really upset about, but I'm not keen on olives (olive oil's fine) or anchovies. I can't really say why.

No wait, I can think of an area of pickiness. I like firm apples, but when they start to go even slightly soft I don't like them nearly as much.

Non-organic food.

And beetroots. Any kind.

Beets are the devil's flowers. So sickening! πŸ˜›

I'm pretty indifferent to things that don't have caffeine, but I do recognize their occasional usefulness for survival.

Cabbage. Olives. Cole slaw. Bud Light. Vile stuff, all of them.

I hate ripe bananas- the greener the better. I don't like sweet food for meals. sweet is for afters, not for dinner.

I'm concerned that Freethinkerman may not be sufficiently able to use his super powers to thwart all who would breach the wall of separation between church and state without the valuable iron and Vitamin C source that is a cabbage based diet.

Eeeww. I hate green bananas! They don't taste at all like they should. Bananas should be somewhere in the middle of green and mushy brown. Eat 'em while you can! (which is usually a very short period, but hey, it beats sour apples πŸ˜€)

Vegetables.
I hate vegetables. Not all vegatables (see...I don't even know how to spell the damned word!) though. Some are okay.

Cucumbers are okay. But they are actually a fruit (don't argue with me on this one, I was dragged around a cucumber farm for 2 hours one hot summer's day...the seeds are on the inside....)

Carrots are okay. But they're a root.

But vegitables like: Cabbage, beetroot, colliflower, sprouts and turnip (this is the devil's excrement if ever he excremented anything) are absolute NO-GO zones.
-------
Tomato's are disgusting. They have no right to be a fruit and that is probably why people are forever calling them vegotables. YUGH.
(in a spaghetti bolognese they may be forgiven though).

Rice is attrocious. The only reason they eat this in poor countries is because they have nothing else. I see no reason why we rich folks should lower ourselves to eating it.
Seriously, place a double cheeseburger on a plate and some rice on another and offer them to anybody who's starving and see which plate they choose. Argument closed. If ever there was a substance (along with turnips...obviously) which should be dropped in Room 101, rice is it!

Double salted liquorish. I believe this only exists in Holland. Be happy. Be very happy about this. It is as disgusting as it sounds.

Humas. Mushed up chick-peas. Now, I don't even know what a bloody chick-pea is, and after having had a bucket full of humas flunked over my lovely kebabs, I don't even wish to know what they are!

Roast chestnuts. For a substance which consists of such things as chests and nuts, you'd expect something slightly more...titillating.

Fruit in meals. Like pineapples on pizzas or sauces destroyed by adding apples, pears or whatever to them.
FRUIT AND MEAT DO NOT MINGLE.
They just don't. Seriously. They don't.

Plain yogurt without sugar. One question springs to mind: Why? Why does it exist?

Moulded cheeses. Yes. Why not just eat moulded bread too?
I have to admit that blue cheese sauce over my venison can be quite lovely...just don't tell me what it is.

Anything with dog in it. A wee trauma of mine and not one I wish to delve into.
Well, okay, since you persist:
I was living in a very warm place one year and a friend and I went looking for the golden doorway to the old city. Seemingly there's a golden doorway. There wasn't one though (or we didn't find one. Funnily enough, thinking back to it, it did seem a little far-fetched...a big golden doorway in the side of a mountain...oh well), but there was a kebab shop.
So, we stopped in for a kebab and only after 5 bites did the kebab-shop-keeper feel inclined to inform us what sort of meat we were eating. And it wasn't chicken.

Dessert wine.
Cheap whisky.
Warm beer.

Tea and coffee are filth as well.
Milk (actually, I have no real problem with milk, it's that god-awful after taste which gets to me. That sticky, rotting smell that attaches itself to your taste buds).

I'll probably pop back later on to add some more to my list.

I definitely agree with about the greener the better! I'm wanting to know if you're Italian?πŸ˜‰ Because of your liking to save the sweet for dessert.


p.s. include beets, fried, boiled, or deviled eggs, and saukraut on my refusal listπŸ˜›

I can't stand cauliflower! There have been some foods that I never used to like but now do. When I was a kid, I didn't like mushrooms, tomatos or eggs, but now I like them a lot.

I never got used to cauliflower though and I doubt I ever will.

Freethinkerman takes Vitamin C supplements. He relies on the miracle of science to supplement his shoddy diet!
