I'm not a fussy eater, but I can't stand...

I'm with Maniac, but as I don't eat eat or fish, my horrors are: stuffed peppers (except in Italy where they're not stuffed with yesterday's rice!); marrow; overlooked broccoli; Chinese mushrooms; aubergines badly cooked (nothing slimier!)

Milk, my primary education was made hell by the fear of school milk and being made to drink it, Not keen on eggs, on their own and runny yolks nauseate me.

Beetroot is increasingly being used in cakes they way carrots crept into recipes a few years ago and similarly it seems to produce a quite moist cake. I like beetroot but it does stain everything it comes into contact with.

Anything with a rubbery,slithery,gloopy texture e.g.tripe,oysters

I can be squeamish about eggs, I have a friend who is the same about bananas, but I love them, hence the name. I think they are the most perfect fast food, but they do have an optimum time when best eaten before they become less desirable, but at that stage they can be shoved in a cake.

nothing spicy
nothing with chocolate ( yes honestly)
Olives
Anchovies
have never eaten veal on principal but may try now the rules are changed

Not doing it for me either Grannyeggs. I hate beetroot, tongue and tripe!

Thanks johanna I will try it.[ hmm]

Hello Grannyeggs
I also hate beetroot with an OH who loves it.
However here follows a recipe for beetroot salad which even I can eat.

Beetroot , ready cooked packet from supermarket
Cheese
Mayo
Walnuts
Garlic.

Grate beetroot, grate cheese, chop walnuts small.
Mix mayo with crushed garlic.
Pile in bowl and mix all together.
If garlic not wanted, chop some spring onions or snip some chives.

Not bad at all.
All ingredients according to taste.

had steak tartar once didn't realise it was raw minced beef with a raw egg in the middle....naive......horrible.

Dislike the texture of celery and loathe beetroot; anything with desiccated coconut in it; squid seems to me to have the texture of rubber bands and I cannot persuade myself to like shellfish.

Sunseeker I call green peppers work of the devil too! About the only thing I won't eat.

Really spicy food, liver or squid.

I'm not a huge fan of pork either if it's not cooked properly (can very eaily get too dry)

The only foods mentioned I WOULD eat are the peppers,not hot,onions and sourdough bread,sweet not sour pickles,tomatoes. Don't feed me sauerkraut or other pickled veggies.Sheep or liver.My childhood medicine was flavored with a strong vanilla flavoring.yukky smell.No fish with eyes showing please.No animal innards!

Garlic, mushrooms and tomatoes! x

janeainsworth we had a similar experience in France one summer,we stopped at a small hotel for the night and ordered a meal with a "know it all aunt" of mr.glamma's I do unlike yourself like liver and she convinced me to order what she had translated as liver,when it arrived and inspected in great depth my moi I found out it was boiled tounge and the little grey bits where the teeth smiling at me urggh !! ended up with an omelette for peace of mind.

absent I so agree with your cousin about beetroot.

Zengran I was never a great fan of broad beans, although I could eat them, until a friend and keen gardener brought me a bag of them freshly picked about 30 minutes earlier. Boy was there a difference between those and the ones you get in supermarkets. I think a lot of the commercially available broad beans are too mature and they certainly won't be nice unless you individually pop them out of their skins.

offal, belly of pork, red and green peppers (work of the devil!), beetroot, pickles. Add to that the fact that I am also allergic to tomatoes, fish and raw onions.

Offal for me, too, and, for no fathomable reason, broad beans.

My OH loves that malt extract with cod liver oil that comes in a big jar. He eats it from the jar with a spoon! I cannot bear it, even the smell makes me nauseous!

Tripe, black pudding.

To my taste buds rocket has a disgusting almost meaty taste and I simply can't eat it.

Prawns in fish pie.

I can eat them in a supermarket sandwich, with plenty of mayo. But not warm and squidgy in a pie. Spoils the whole thing for me.

Black pudding YUK!!

I have also gone off sausages since finding out that they are full of pigs ears and noses and so I now only buy the most expensive sausages.
