Things you hate, yet everyone else seems to love (which makes them hate you)
 

I know a handful of folks who hate mushrooms. This is RIDICULOUS. Mushrooms, in all honesty, could replace meat if meat decided to disapear for some unknown and unquestionable reason. Umame, check that out.

I know a few people who hate mayonaise, I used to be one of them. LITTLE do they know how awesome mayo can actually be, maybe not eating like peanut butter, but using it to make your very own sauces. Do you like Sriracha? Throw some into some mayo, a bit of salt, shit, you got yourself a milder yet more flavorful sauce you can dump all over your rice and beans.

I myself hate funyons and just about anything processed, like American Cheese. I've been in a few heated debates about why, but some people just seem to like eating waxy and yellow poop. That's not just me, though.

And you?

I hate , and i do mean HATE tea..

True that may not seem like a big deal where you guys are, but where i come from tea is like Jesus, how can you possibly declare that you hate Jesus in public?

..humans. Ohhh, you mean food.

Chicken. Beer.

For me, I've never ever been a fan of kraft dinner. I could never stomach the stuff as a kid, and even now I can't even stand the smell of it. Its just one thing I've always hated, but it seems like everyone I know loves to eat the stuff.

I hate the vast majority of fast food joints. On any given Saturday night, you will find me and a group of friends drunk as fuck and looking for a place to "nourish" at. The vast majority of the time I will hear the default standard, "Hey, let's go to Jack In The Box!"

FUCK THAT. I will pay the difference to eat anywhere else. In the end, we'll end up driving around for a half hour looking for a seedy neighborhood in which we will inevitably stumble upon a taco stand which will serve great "drunk" food at a great price. I loathe fast food joints with a passion and I'm sure my friends hate me at times because of this. I am okay with this.

Why?

Because fuck 'em, that's why.

Tonight, I discovered I may never be able to love ice cream anymore because it tastes too much like milk. I will have to try this a couple more times to confirm it but the 10 minutes I gave myself between the two spoonfuls of chocolate raspberry ice cream my boyfriend was throughly enjoying, gave the same effect of big red alarm signs going off in my brain that spoke loudly of "ew, tastes like milk."

:(

I'm sorry, it tastes like milk, and milk straight up usually makes me sick... (lactose intolerant, for those of you who really need an explanation!)

I HATE coffee. I will drink it if I have to in order to stay awake in EXTREME cases, but otherwise, its pretty much crap.

I have maybe 3 cups a year.

Other than that, I like pretty much everything else.

Plain steak/brisket/hamburger.

I can appreciate a good burger on its own, depending on who made it and how much seasoning/worcestershire sauce went into making it, but I've never been a fan of plain beef flavor. I always need a hearty helping of BBQ sauce or ketchup, if nothing else.

Dark Chocolate. It's bitter as hell. A lot of my friends wonder why I could hate something like that.

I prefer Milk Chocolate, thank you very much.

I agree, Dark Chocolate isn't on my list of favorites (Even though I am a chocoholic). Milk Chocolate is something I prefer for the most part.

I do hear that dark chocolate is better for you though and that REAL dark chocolate (The stuff made in Europe) is actually really good. I haven't had too many chances since I cannot afford that kind of quality...

It's different, but according to most dark chocolate fans I talk to, it's a matter of being savory rather than super-sweet. You suck on the chocolate rather than chewing right away, so that the flavor has time to sit on your tongue.

But that's pretty much what I hate about dark chocolate. I usually savor any chocolate in my mouth, just the bitter taste flowing through my tongue throws me off.

Then again, I do have a horrendous sweet tooth, so that's probably a good reason why I like white and milk chocolate more.

Can't stand white chocolate. Nasty stuff. :(

<3 dark, though.

Television, cars... People. :gonk:

CostPlus World Market is your best friend for *affordable* imported European anything. There's that, or Trader Joe's. <3

Nothing like that in Canada though.... ?

I'm a picky eater, so the list is long. I dislike tea, coffee, beef, nuts, shellfish, and more! This makes things difficult in many ways:

Student 1: "Well, here we are at an all night study session! Have some bottom-of-the-pot thick n' nasty crud mud!"

Me: "I don't drink it."

Student 2: "It's okay, I brought my Chai Organic Weatherman Underground tea!"

Me: "Don't drink that either."

Students 1 and 2: "Well, you can die in a fire then."

Then there was that time in Vietnam...

Professor: "Since we're on the beach, tonight we're going to eat crabs, crabs, and nothing but fresh crabs!"

Me: "I think crabs are about three steps away from cockroaches in terms of palatability. Also, they remind me of pubic lice and probably have worms."

Professor: "Too bad! It's arthropods or nothing tonight!"

Me: "Pass the durien, please."

most wine, scrambled eggs with ketchup, any sort of wierd spicy/sour/what have you flavoured potato chip, and dark chocolate. caramel also pisses me off.

Meat on pizzas.

I'm not a vegetarian or anything similar, but while everyone around me is obsessed with ordering standard pepperoni or one of those 'meat feast' things, I'm much happier to get an ultra-cheesy, ultra-thick thing covered in mushrooms and jalapeños.

I don't care for coffee either, too bitter. I've had a sip every now and then to see if I like it but no luck so far.

Butter Tarts. Every time I say I don't want one my family attempts to disown me and my friends think I'm insane.

Coffee's a big one. I never drink the stuff, and don't understand why anyone would; there are better-tasting ways to get a caffiene fix.

Mint is another thing I hate. People look at me funny at Christmas time when I won't eat candy canes.

I'm very picky bout my food, and my tastes are quite selective. There are many things that I hate/dislike and can't eat, but I'll try to keep the list as small as possible.

Bearnaise sauce. Oh god how I hate it. And everyone seems to like it. When I think of it, I think I've never met anyone in my whole life who has agreed with me.

Really, I hate most of the plain fare we've got here in Sweden, and that they always have to serve at school. Like, meatballs, sausages, beef, or most dishes you eat with mashed potatoes. Then again, the food we get at school is bad no matter what dish it is. Although somehow I do like some of the most "extreme" dishes we've got here in Sweden, like "hash" (I'm not sure if that is the correct translation, but it is a dish with stuff like hacked intestines in it that is common food here in northern Sweden). Not that I do find them extreme in any sense, cause I love eating them :)

Coffee, uh, I can't stand that bitter sludge. I can understand if it is an acquired taste, but I keep away from the stuff the same way I keep away from smoking and such, cause I don't want to get addicted to anything unnecessary.

Sometimes I've wondered if I were an Asian in my past life, cause when I do dislike most European food, I love Asian food, especially just plain rice. I can cook up a bowl of rice and eat only that all by myself.

You poor, poor, deprived soul you.

Cost Plus and Trader Joes are like a second heaven to me.

But I can't really stand coffee...I'm like, the only person in my family that doesn't drink it.

I dunno, frappuccinos taste fine to me and like..mixed coffee drinks taste fine but the straight up coffee I can't even stomach

That and Spam

A dairy based product tasting like milk? WHY I NEVER!

I think she also fails to grasp the fact that Lactose intolerance means that YOU GET A NEGATIVE REACTION TOWARDS dairy products, so you can't just hate them, you must be physically unable to ingest them without causing yourself harm, it's NOT related to taste, you don't puke cuz of milk, you get lots of gastrointestinal problems like gas and diarrhea, general flatulence but not sickness or iow, puking.

In general you can love milk as much as you can and still be lactose intolerant , like my cousin who gets hell whenever he drinks any, and me, i have a mild case of lactose intolerance where i just get too much gas. EUGHHHH.

It's weird, I know... I had a milkshake and I was fine today. Yogurt, no problem. Blueberry Cheesecake frozen yogurt, devoured it.

Don't know why, that particular scoop of ice cream tasted like milk and my taste buds came to a screeching halt on death row telling my brain, MUST NOT GO FURTHER.

Same thing with carrot juice; tastes too much like milk. But no one likes carrot juice anyways. :p

Wow, I hate both mushrooms and mayo. :( I also hate anything sour or spicy, which some people find odd.. dunno why. *shrug*

Speak for yourself, carnivore.

I have no idea what you're talking about, sir. :cow:

I hate all sweets with only a few exceptions (chocolate and sherbert). The texture's unappealing and the taste doesn't sit with me well, espeically liquorice. Christ I abhor that stuff.

Coffee and I really get people that I feel hate me cause I don't like coffee. I just sometimes seem to end up talking to older people who can't understand the concept of an adult who doesn't drink coffee.

Hot Dogs, Sausage, anything similar to them. No it's not the shape, I just seriously think they taste like crap. When I was a kid my parents tried to make me eat hot dogs, but the taste was so aweful to me that it actually caused me to vomit. Then they'd yell at me like it was my fault that the food made me puke.

Hot dogs are definitely a once in a while thing for me, but sausages are terrific. Love 'em.

As well they should! Mint is the herb of the gods.

One thing I've been unsuccessful at enjoying so far is alcohol. It tastes like poison to me. The first time I tried wine I literally thought I had ingested Sharpie ink. I'm trying to acclimate myself to it so as not to appear like a complete weenie, but I've yet to actually drink something alcoholic and think, "That was delicious."

I also normally avoid seafood (well, most of it...<3 dried squid), but I'm trying to acquire the taste for that too. Never hurts to have more dietary options.

I was child vomiter as well, except it came down to mayonnaise. People's infatuation with mayonnaise never ceases to amaze me, or the fact that I detest mayo would blow people's minds. I still gag when I even catch a wiff and if I were to eat it, I get incredibly nauseous.

Mayonnaise is made out of uncooked egg yolks and oil, kept in a jar for far longer than you'd keep a normal egg. That's just unnatural to me.

I like coffee with milk/cream and sugar, but I just can't stand iced coffee...seems like you have to add twice as many sugars to iced coffee as you do to normal coffee to get rid of the bitterness. I don't think coffee is meant to be cold.

Also, any cinnamon flavored candies/gum are yuck to me.

I want to like dark chocolate, I really do...but it just isn't happening. Have to stick with Milk and white.

I did that with cream cheese.

Now I think it's nummy. :3

Hmm... coffee and cheese. I'll try them every once in a while (cheese is fine as grilled cheese sandwiches and in McD's sausage mcmuffins) but I couldn't stand much of them.

My sweetie loves them both though and meanwhile he hates my mayonnaise in BK's chicken sandwich or sour cream dip.

Otherwise, I generally avoid spicy foods as well.

Haha, I knew when I saw this thread that there were going to be a lot of people saying they hate coffee.

Coffee becomes easier to stomach when you get older, because your tastebuds lose a lot of their sensitivity. That's why children often dislike many foods that adults enjoy (anchovies, dark chocolate, sauerkraut, coffee). And a lot of the people on these boards are still rather young, so it's understandable.

But there's also a huge difference in quality when it comes to coffee. If all you've ever tried is Folgers, then I can understand exactly why you don't like coffee. Try some high-quality Kona, or Arabian Mocha Sanani coffee, and you might just reconsider.

As for my answer to the question? I really don't like scalloped potatoes. Not that everyone loves scalloped potatoes, but I don't think people generally hate them.

There are a lot of things that I like that make others sick to their stomachs, but what surprises a lot of people is the fact I have a hard time digesting raw vegetables. I can have a few carrot sticks, or a piece of raw broccoli, no problem. When I make a big salad or something along the lines of a lot of uncooked greens, my stomach aches like it's trying to break down rocks, and the exodus is not fun either. I'm still trying to force my body to adjust to digesting that stuff.

Really? Shit, man... Sometimes the best way for me to kill a hangover is a huge salad with only a little Italian dressing.

It's good that you're trying to adjust, as veggies are a pretty important source of fiber.

I wouldn't say that I hate asparagus, but I'm not particularly fond of it as being part of my meals. Yet all my family and friends love it. I eat a lot of other vegetables in general though, but asparagus just isn't one of them. I suppose a close second would have to be walnuts. So many people I know enjoy them.

I used to hate seafood until someone made me try salmon, I fell in love. Seriously, go to the Olive Garden and try one of their seafood plates, they are so good. I like all kinds of seafood now, except for lobster. I will not even think about eating that.

I hate sausage by itself. If it's like a ground Italian sausage in a soup that's fine but otherwise I will not eat it.

It's plausibly because you never had fresh walnuts. Fresh walnuts compared to store-bought is like comparing fresh coconut to store-bought-dried-two-decades-ago-and-kept-in-a-warehouse-for-a-million-years coconut.

As for me, I hate bananas, coconuts, and sweet potatoes. Aside from that, you'll be hardpressed to find something I utterly hate. People think I'm strange for not liking those things, at least in my family, but ugh, they taste horrible.

The first thing that came to my mind was oyster. I just can't stomach any oysters, yet people around me just tuck into those gigantic raw oysters...ewww. Once a friend brought me to this famous place that served stir-fried oysters and after the first bite I felt like throwing up. I'm ok with oyster sauce though, it's pretty much used in every Chinese dish.

Some other things that I hate are white chocolate and licorice, especially licorice! Dreadful stuff. I'm ok with coffee, but I don't take them often cause I usually get headache afterwards.

And carrot milk rocks. If carrots were on special every week I'd juice them up and add tons of milk to it. Absolutely fantastic.

I absolutely hate mayo and most condiments. I can't stand the taste of alcohol in any form. I've tried out different drinks and I just don't know how people can stand to drink the stuff. I used to absolutely hate coffee, but now I don't think it's so bad. I still don't drink it though. Hmm and I also dislike beef and fish a lot.

...I also don't like mushrooms.

I'm gonna go with....dark beer. Most people seem to like it except me.

I hate anything that have high fructose corn syrup in it, which now a days that's almost everything that we eat. I also HATE!!! catfish and bacon, which is a sin living here in Texas.

You hate catfish... in Texas? Jesus, son. How have you not been lynched? Man, next you'll tell me you're anti-cornbread, or anti-hush puppy. Or maybe anti-unsweet tea. They'll have your head for that. Or maybe the ultimate sin, anti-chicken fried steak with white gravy. I think they have your balls for that.

(Seriously, though. Outside of unsweet tea, nothing in Texas should be consumed by humans.)

So, I'm curious. Was it hard telling your parents that you're gay? (Don't worry. I have some Pabst Blue Ribbon here. You can drink that. Like a lady.)

There's is a place and time for it, I REALLY do hate it, I'm sorry? no, I just really don't like the taste of the fish. I'll eat it if a friend or family cooked it, but if I have the choice to eat something else, I'll take it! Nope it's just the catfish I don't like, so everything else is fair game with me. And there's no balls to be had, I keep the hating catfish to myself and just take the dang thing on my plate and "accidentally" give it away to someone else or give to the dog.

Raisins, I don't know a whole lot of people that like them, my cousin however gets grossed out when I eat them. My sister-in-law also get grossed out when I eat a spoon full of peanut butter.

I hate ketchup, mustard, and basically all the condiments.

I hate fish while everybody around love it. That sea smell, every seafood has that specific smell. I tried to reduce it with lemon and carrot, but it is still bad. Do you have some good fish meal receipt?

The only things I hate with a passion is black coffee. Dark chocolate comes close.

Otherwise, I love everything else, and unusual too like octopus, conches, chicken entrails, etc. Hmm... yum...

I can't stand oranges in any form. Fruit, juice, artificially flavored junk food, it's all terrible. Actual oranges are the worst, since just the smell of someone peeling one is enough to drive me out of a room. Unfortunately, they're so common that I had to deal with them throughout school and grew to have a seething hatred for those citrus demons.

You would die here in Visalia or, to be more specificall, Ivanhoe. We're surrounded by orange groves everywhere we go. They're second nature to us.

It's not just that I hate it, but I physically can't eat it without gagging: cereal with milk in it.

Everyone thinks it's weird. I don't know why; I have an uncle who's the same way!

I can eat cereal with milk in it, but I don't like it. Milk turns it into a soggy, tasteless mess.

I despise sauerkraut. This is ostensibly unpermissible, as I am half German. But the taste is disgusting, the texture is unpleasant, and the stench is downright nauseating. Even the act of cooking sauerkraut fills several rooms with that horrible stink. The rest of my family likes it, so I have to hide in my room whenever it's being prepared, else gag upon the odor.

And some people put that shit on their hot dogs. I'll never, ever understand that.

Coffee, perhaps my taste buds haven't matured yet, but they taste so bitter and not to mention I hate hot drinks.

What's the point of getting a coffee if I have to add 20 packs of sugar?
