I’m allergic to almost all fruit. I can eat apples and citrus, but that’s about it. Growing up in Hawaii we had bananas, papaya, avocados, and mangoes. All of which I cannot eat. I can’t even bear the smell of bananas. Mangos could kill me.
I developed a papaya allergy 20 years ago and it’s my only food allergy. Definitely do not understand this. As a frequent traveler to Hawaii the papaya thing is annoying because I do like it. I can’t eat raw apples, can’t digest them even if I remove the skin. Cooked apples are no problem.
Years ago, my dentist told me never bite into an apple if you have a TMJ problem. I cut them up, but I don’t mind the skin. I hate when they unexpectedly put fruit in things, especially mangos. I have to be so careful.
My kids regularly do this, using chocolate coins from their stashes as literal currency to buy Haribo from the family Federal Reserve. It started out harmless, but has degenerated into such byzantine complexity that I sorta regret it at this point...
I can’t eat canned tuna or tuna salad because decades ago I was at Subway and saw something black in my tuna sub, so I went looking through the remaining tuna and found several flies mixed in. Statistically it seemed likely I’d already eaten a few.
Yeah, a good soup for me needs to have volume, not just liquid.
But if you add anything to a tomato soup, it’s no longer that.
Lobster? Bisque. Other veggies? Veggie soup. Ground beef? Chili.
Some family members are always cooking or freezing strawberries so that they become a slimy, sweet red mess. Just eat them raw, please! The strawberries. Not my family members.
When I was a kid I ate dolphin at a beach barbecue. My dad told me they had hit it with the boat when I was inconsolable when I found out I was eating Flipper.
He lied.
PB and Jelly and Iceberg Lettuce and Muenster Cheese sandwiches.
The “inspiration” for this was, “Well, ants on a log are just celery and PB and raisins. Celery=Iceberg lettuce (crunchy), raisins=Jelly.”
No idea how the Cheese got in there…
Cream of pot pie. Take a frozen pot pie, break off the edges of the crust. Put pie and crust in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup milk. Nuke five minutes. Break up pie, stir, add 1/4 c milk. Nuke 3 minutes. Stir, add 1/4 c milk. Nuke two minutes. Stir. (Optionally add final 1/4 c milk if you want it soupier.)
Can't eat raw tomato, except in particular circumstances. Slice of tomato on sandwich or burger = EW GROSS NO WAY. Tomato pieces in salad = EW GROSS NO WAY. Fresh tomato diced in pico de gallo or salsa = hmm, pretty good!
I have eaten a perfectly ripe, sun-warmed, juicy cherry tomato straight from the vine and I hated it. 🤢 I also don't like things to be "too tomato-y". I always add worcestershire and pepper to tomato soup, and parmesan to pasta with tomato sauce ...
I'm kind of a weird eater period, but I like this stuff I call "goop" because it looks weird, but it's just yogurt and fresh berries and nuts and granola. Looks a bit weird but tastes great.
My brain don't like the fact that coconut flavored stuff have the same smell of coconut soap.
I'm not unable to eat coconut things but sometimes it makes me nauseous, as if the brain realizes it and believes I'm eating soap.
I am 100% addicted to Ortega's Que Bueno nacho sauce (the big cans from Costco). I have to make sure to not buy it more than once a year. Cuz once it's in the house, I can't stop thinking about it.
Raw carrots are a delightful and tasty snack. Once they are cooked in any manner they taste like how a garbage dump smells on a hot day and I don’t know how that happens.
The fuzz is definitely a factor, but even without the skin on, I find peaches too perfumey whereas nectarines manage to stay within my tolerance for it.
I've gotten over a lot of texture problems. Used to hate mushrooms and onions, but now I love them. I can't get over the texture of a lot of breads tho. I gag and lose my appetite when I notice that I'm chewing a grain
I don't drink anything when I eat oreos. Milk, water, nada. And I save the cream insides for after I eat the cookie part. My hubs has suggested there's something evil about it. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I am convinced that peanut butter is the perfect food and can talk at length as to why. Short version: it is delicious, shelf-stable, provides a balance of fat, carbs, and protein, and goes sweet or savory equally well.
I peel my food. Nuggets, grapes, Kit Kats, Slim Jims, pretty much if it has anything that could be even remotely considered an outside layer I'm peeling it.
Onions are repulsive. Chives, shallots, spring, green, yellow, white, purple, cooked, raw … all make me gag. The smell of them coming from neighboring kitchens sends me into autistic meltdown.
Here’s where I really light heads afire: garlic is ok … in moderation.
I love the taste of mushrooms, but thought for 25 years that I hated them. It turned out that I can't handle the *texture* except, for some reason, if they're pickled. So I love mushroom soup, mushroom gravy, dried mushrooms to flavour soups and stews, but theit texture is... challenging.
I hate steak. Don’t like the taste, smell, weird gummy chewy texture. Absolutely love most other cuts of beef, with pot roast being a massive favorite.
Crucial ingredient! I love a good well made dry dill seasoning bc you don't see it here whole a lot for some reason except the tips only store brand which is overpriced.
Ritz crackers+Caramel Syrup+Vanilla Ice cream. Ritz should have made ice cream cones a long time ago. You’re welcome Ritz. Goddammit. Also, sweet peas+ketchup. I like my pasta slightly firmer than al dente. Like one minute less boiling does it. I prefer brownies from muffin tins…it’s all edges.
When I eat M&Ms (peanut butter or chocolate), or similar shelled chocolate candies, I tuck them two or three at a time in between my cheek and gum. I proceed to hold them there for a minute or so, and *then* bite them.
The heat from my mouth melts the inside, so it's a liquid chocolate candy bomb.
I eat kiwi’s whole, skin and all. Every time I do it someone inevitably goes “what is wrong with you” but there is no greater joy than biting into a kiwi
Kiwi = the bird or the person from here, Aotearoa NZ
Kiwi fruit = the fruit
When you describe eating kiwi whole (no ‘s’ in te reo māori) or biting into a kiwi we read it as the person or the bird and wonder the fuck why you’d be eating biting a kiwi
Every now and then I cry because I'm not eating a cheese toastie. That's my favourite food and they are usually readily accessible, but I still get upset about it.
Dunno, it must be the contrasting flavours/textures, like salt and caramel. Opposite sides of the flavour wheel - is that a thing? Anyway, yeah, they're tasty *and* nutritious. Yum yum
Well, it's a complex recipe but I'll walk you through it
At the end of dinner take the sprouts left on the kids' plates and in the steamer, put them in a bowl and douse them with Hellman's. Then stuff your face
It actually works best when the sprouts are lukewarm and limp. It's a food crime really
I don't have any children nor a steamer, so I can't make this one quite right. But when I think about the taste combo in my head, this does sound truly amazing. I'm considering getting a steamer now.
Do it! It makes it easier to consume vast quantities of the little buggers without feeling queasy. And it's probably a health food. You won't regret it
In a world full of wonderful spices and herbs, I cannot understand why people put rosemary on their food. It’s potpourri at best, and it belongs elsewhere.
same!!! it tastes like soap to me. love the way it smells but hate the taste. i didn’t get the cilantro tastes like soap gene but i did somehow get a rosemary tastes like soap thing going on lol
Ice Cream NOMA: chocolate, caramel, honeycomb and the like are in the Cream Magisteria; while fruit, sorbet, bubblegum and tutti frutti etc are in the Candy Magisteria. You can combine any flavours, so long as you do not cross between magisteria
Nuts in my food. No. They belong separately in an appetizer bowl. Alone. Not in my salad, not in my main dish and it's skeezy to put them on top of my GD candied yams.
I have just about no sense of smell so my sense of taste is pretty minimum. My enjoyment of food is mostly texture based. If I like the texture, I'll like the food.
I’m surprisingly chill about food considering how unchill I am about other things, but my mom and my sibling both have a horror of foods that are small and round. Like my mom will eat chocolate chunk cookies but not chocolate chip cookies, because the chips have a round base.
Not weird really: kale is like green barbed wire; mussels are The Devil's Bogeys. Oh, and I will happily add frozen peas to most vegetable-based dishes, but not if they already contain another legume (eg lentils, baked beans, etc.)
I don’t like lettuce, tomato(except for ketchup🥰 or taco sauce), or kale. So I don’t eat salads and my burgers are usually meat, bread, cheese, and a condiment.
Nine times out of ten white wine is as good or better to cook with. Unless it's something like beef bourguignon that depends on distinctive good red wine, white wine will work as well & a good quality white wine is cheaper than a similar quality red
i absoulty hate peppers(the vegtable) in any shape way or form and the smell make me gag.
its very much an autism thing. does not matter if they're raw or cooked i will pick them out of anything i eat.
I played a video game when I was young that I don't recall, but it used mushrooms to symbolize death/decay (specifically not poison) and I can't eat mushrooms because my brain rejects the concept that it could do anything but hurt me
Unless I really, really know and trust the person, I won't accept food from other people.
Im fine in restaurants, but open snacks? No thanks.
Same with sharing. Don't touch my food or it's just yours now. I won't eat it afterwords.
I have an allergy to Capsaicin as well.
I don't think either is super weird, but I don't run into many people who like what I do: chicken nuggets with honey for the dipping sauce, also (separately) apples with crunchy peanut butter.
Comments
I haven't eaten a banana in years. Green grapes >>>> red grapes. Low-sugar jam isn't just healthier, but also tastes better.
when I left for college I cashed them in and she wrote me a check for like $50
Mango chutney, though, is divine.
Somewhere out there is someone who hates tomatoes, but loves tomato soup and ketchup.
If the three of us are ever in the same room together, it will trigger the tomapocalypse
i also will eat salsa
You've met my ex, then!
Ketchup fiend, loves tomato soup, hates tomato the vegetable.
But if you add anything to a tomato soup, it’s no longer that.
Lobster? Bisque. Other veggies? Veggie soup. Ground beef? Chili.
ultimate comfort food
large curd
He lied.
Lobster is another one to avoid for me.
The “inspiration” for this was, “Well, ants on a log are just celery and PB and raisins. Celery=Iceberg lettuce (crunchy), raisins=Jelly.”
No idea how the Cheese got in there…
Guacamole though. Food of absolute champions.
I hold a single M&M in each hand, between the thumb and first two fingers.
Then I slowly push them into each other.
The first to crack gets eaten.
The winner moves to the next round.
11 yo me imagined full on gladiatorial games and honorable deaths.
I'm not unable to eat coconut things but sometimes it makes me nauseous, as if the brain realizes it and believes I'm eating soap.
But not all of them do this.
SMPFilms came to mind; https://youtu.be/-qgQ6mD4O5Y?si=B7FchsZ85tBlu5-j
Candy corn with peanuts
I also hate peaches, but love nectarines- even though they're almost the same thing.
Pâté is a no. Meat should not be spreadable.
Therefore, I completely avoid both.
No fruit pies, tarts or whatever.
But I do like jams. 🤷🏽♀️
Ketchup fine. Sauce fine. Fresh disgusting!
I detest nearly all green vegetables. deep frozen Peas are allright and anything oniony.
I enjoy Fries/Chips dipped into McSundae more than I should.
It changes taste after cooking - some carbohydrates caramelizes etc.
Spread with Colman's English mustard.
Replace the toffee.
Eat as a sandwich.
Here’s where I really light heads afire: garlic is ok … in moderation.
Bionic noses are overrated.
It’s probably not for everyone but I like it.
I like my tea and coffee to cool slightly else I can't taste anything.
I like mixing yogurt with lemon, olive oil, and lemon for a treat. I also mix yogurt, a fruit, and honey.
Gonna try that mix when I get my next pint, starting to wonder if making my own w my rice cooker would actually work.
The heat from my mouth melts the inside, so it's a liquid chocolate candy bomb.
I need a fruit brush!
Kiwi fruit = the fruit
When you describe eating kiwi whole (no ‘s’ in te reo māori) or biting into a kiwi we read it as the person or the bird and wonder the fuck why you’d be eating biting a kiwi
Enjoy your 🥝

Fajita filling only in tortillas.
I'm weird but I'm not cheese rind weird!
I have a master's degree in linguistics, and this breaks my brain.
But only black olives. I like the green ones but they don't fit in a pizza - have tried them.
its very much an autism thing. does not matter if they're raw or cooked i will pick them out of anything i eat.
Im fine in restaurants, but open snacks? No thanks.
Same with sharing. Don't touch my food or it's just yours now. I won't eat it afterwords.

Yes…syrup too.
But *real* maple syrup.
as long as the peanut butter is crunchy!
But celery ..
It is poison. Why are you eating bitter toxic poison? Raw and cooked. Gross
But ketchup by itself? Are you 8 years old?
