On a recent trip to America I tried gizzards. All I can say is never again "

"Sushi. It looks cool but It tastes like plastic to me
What kinda plastic you been eating?!?"
Fish should cooked in batter or breadcrumbs, or, be smoked haddock, certainly not raw and wrapped up cold like a snot strewn straw  |

Avacado and mushy peas have already been mentioned.
I can't understand the British obsession with Roast Dinners and the obsession with having barbeques just to cook sausages and burgers knowing full well that they're just gonna cremate them! |

"Chinese cuisine.
Because once you've had Thai, Malaysian or Vietnamese you never go back to lacklustre, insipid and bland Chinese food.
Unless it's Chinese from China, that's far from insipid"
Especially Sichuan |

Celery sticks- why eat stringy water???
Minted anything- spoiling perfectly good food item by something that belongs in a toothpaste or chewing gum.
Coronation chicken- vomit inducing just looking at it! |

Totally with you on this! Although the Chinese food I had in Hong Kong was amazing. |

"I think it's just a Barnsley thing (I've never seen it elsewhere), but they eat pork pie with mushy peas, gravy & mint sauce. All in the same bowl together!
"
It's the local version of pie and liquor they do in East London |

Never managed to enjoy tripe or chicken feet or insects, but I've managed most else. Being presented with barbecued chicken cartilage and rib bones at a Japanese place helped rid me of my previous distaste for connective tissue.
Genuinely, almost any food is potentially delicious - we're richer for being able to enjoy as much as possible. That's true in other aesthetic settings, too. I regret I've never managed to enjoy boiled egg, just as I regret I've always been entirely straight (simply couldn't understand as a kid all the books that talked of all boys experiencing some homosexual feelings). The difference is that I'd like to overcome my lack of appreciation for a boiled egg, but with sexual predispositions I feel that's who I am and it's not amenable to change any more than I'd expect to argue or seduce someone else out of their sexual preferences. Double standards, I suppose, but then double standards are what make us human. |

"Parmesan cheese. Why does anyone want grated vomit on top of their pasta?
(I would actually extend this to all melted cheese, except on pizza)."
You're still on this Yolo?
You're so pretty. So very pretty.
So ridiculous about cheese though. Shame really. |

Steak tartare. I’m mean I love a steak but raw…. Come on it’s just a no no!! Saw it on a celebrity cooking programme ages ago and I thought a good vet would get it back mooing again! Also pigs trotters and I’m from a farming family too |

It's just a raw burger, deconstructed. |

Here in Brazil they eat a thing called farofa which is mandioca/cassava that is grated and toasted until it gets hard and crunchy.
To me it has no taste and is like eating bits of sand and hurts my teeth lol.
It's added to almost any meal but I just don't get it. |
