So many people just posting things they don't like, not things they wish they liked but don't ??.

Read the OP ???

Well, I was very careful with that, Bathsheba. E.g. the idyll of Darby and Joan at the breakfast table in amicable silence would be unthinkable for me, as it seems to involve lots of slurping, coughing, nose-blowing and Very Loud Newspaper-Rustling. Hard to enjoy.

I ride my bike because I have to, not because it is good for me and gets me out in the fresh air, enjoying the view. I just want to get home.

I never liked honey for as long as I remember, however, I tried some lovely raw blossom honey and it was completely different taste than other that I have tried before. So not all honeys are equal in flavour, for instance most honey comes from heather and I think they’re disgusting.

Exercise
Housework
Coriander (I hate having to ask if it is in their dishes in restaurants as it is often a hidden ingredient but completely ruins a meal for me.)

Crowds and crowded places

Shopping for clothes - especially swimsuits

Athletics, football etc on tv, because most people seem really keen on watching it and it bores me to tears.

And I agree about garlic. I can't eat it as I inflate and then throw up. And it's now in everything, making ready meals and eating out a challenge

Gin - I used to love a gin or three.
Fitting rooms with all those mirrors. Oh how I wish I liked the view.
Parties. I'm thinking of getting home before I arrive.

Sprouts...in any shape or form, something so disgusting cannot be good for you
Low fat yoghurt.......see above
The WI...had bad experience years ago! Very clicky and old fashioned, might enjoy it now, but I doubt it!

gma I think I'll swap my 3 for yours. Yours are precisely what I wish I liked but sadly, do not.

Potatoes

Bathsheba Fri 26-Oct-18 18:37:19

JackyB my post followed immediately after yours, but it wasn't aimed at you. In fact I don't think I'd seen your post when I started to type my comment - I was on the previous page!
(And I do so agree about the breakfast-with-DH thing grin)
