i never eat anything that looks gross or sounds gross even if someone tells me its good. I used to love sardines in the can when i was little but for some reason I cannot eat it now. same with liver sausage, just cant eat it now.
i refuse to eat mushrooms, i know thats a normal thing, but i did taste it and it tastes like dirt.. but then it does grow in the dirt.. so maybe my mind associates some food with icky things. but weird, i love crab and lobster and to look at those while alive they are pretty scarey, but i dont associate that with bad food, i.e. i love crabs and lobster. go figure.
i think the food i hate is when it is overcooked or has bad texture. If scrambled eggs are cooked too long they smell like a bad sock. but today i saw in the restaurant an omelette, but it was a huge plate size gob which was cooked so that it had a light brown crust, and it did not look like an egg or even food, i would not want to eat it. maybe it tasted good.
so i hate food that is overcooked like chinese food turned to moosh. i like when the vegetables are intact and have their color. my mother used to moosh food sometimes and i refused to eat it. my mother in law overcooks food, where for thanksgiving her son raved about the stuffing/dressing. but get this - you slice it. it was made that it was so firm that you sliced it. that was weird. i hated it. so i hate overcooked food.
I once ate (or at least bit into) one of those "Snowball" pastries. It had worms in it YUCK!
Other than that, when it comes to regular (non contaminated food) I can't stand liver. I also do NOT like coconut. More the texture than anything. It's kind of like soap to me.
I also agree that eggplant is nasty.
There are some traditional foods that almost any person not born into that culture would have a hard time eating, for example, a lot of the Eskimo (using the term for the peoples who inhabit the "northern circumpolar region" across the globe, not just Alaskan native people) foods like aged seal flipper or whale blubber, or foods from the desert regions of the middle east, like camel's blood and fermented camel's milk, lots of asian food, and then any offal, and especially meal containing eyes, the texture and the taste are too much to get over for me. Sometimes, even just the smell. I can't stand the smell of calves liver being cooked, and if my husband wants to eat it, he has to cook it outside on a coleman stove, or I will get physically ill.
Then there are good foods gone wrong, like my mother's or my M-I-L's cooking. My mom made a lot of meals on toast. Creamed chipped beef on toast, browned ground beef on toast, mystery chicken glop on toast, something she called salmagundi, which was a can of Campbell's condensed alphabet soup mixed into browned ground beef, and served, you guessed it, on toast. All of it was just horrid. My MIL hates to cook, and will oversalt and either over cook red meat, and especially pork, or undercook chicken (who wants to eat a still grey chicken?).
Mutton. I think mutton was the worst food that I've ever eaten.
