When I was a kid, spaghetti made me think of worms, so I didn't want to eat it.
Of course, I outgrew that... and yet, if I want to make pasta, I choose a less-messy,
more fork-friendly shape... like corkscrews, lanterns or wagon wheels.
Same here! I would stare at them until I imagined them moving, and then I couldn't eat any of it.

Or bowties!
You're reminding me that I wrote on another thread about a haunted house Halloween party way back when I was in 7th grade at church. They had a bowl of spaghetti and told us it was intestines when we put our hands in there.

I love bowties/farfalle. They are just chewy and good with butter., salt and pepper.
Carbs and fat, the cornerstone of a fine American meal.
Oh no, bowties are the worst pasta. The frilly ends are soft when the center is still hard and chewy, yuck!
Depends somewhat on brand. I find that Barilla cooks well. You can boil it enough so the center is cooked but the ends are not soggy. Love me some bowties!
I knew a woman who had a fear of mustard. No joke. A friend of mine practices many types of therapists on people and horses (occasional dog). She worked with the woman using EFT (tapping). As far as I know it worked!
^^^ Definitely a thing! I know a guy who is terrified of mustard. Seriously.
The worst food ever: Swedish surströmming! Fermented herring in a can. The fish isn't ready to be served until the can bulges with gases. And when the gasses and fish are let out, it is the gaggiest, most nauseating smell in the entire world (outside of a serial killer's body parts trophy basement, I suppose). I was served the damn fish on a lovely summer's day in Sweden, and I just couldn't be gracious about it. No thanks, not in a million years...
Foods I cannot eat: Runny eggs, celery, cilantro, head cheese, tripe. Oh, and rotten food of any kind (including some cheeses)... Foods I will not eat: Pets, endangered animals, and baby animals. The baby animal food prohibition came to me one dinner where I was served lamb. All of a sudden I couldn't. The thought of the short life, and the trusting eyes of baby animals led to the slaughter. The thought still shakes me up. No lambs, no calves/veal, no baby pigs.
But sometimes I think we have to make compromises--when someone we care about has spent money and worked hard to cook up a special meal. Then we have to weigh our principles against hurting someone we love. My dad once served us a special dinner of kangaroo, imported by their local grocery store. I ate it, to please him. Poor roo.
Oh dear. I've always fed organ meats to my dogs: chicken gizzards, livers and hearts. I don't think I could eat gizzards. Well, there's always a first time.... which I hope never comes!!
You used to be able to get an order of half and half gizzards and livers at KFC. Might still be able to.
I don't like slimy gelatinous things...when I was a kid it was poached eggs. We had them for some Sunday breakfast and I just couldn't eat it....so of course I was made to sit there until I did. I figured I'd just do it to get out of there but after a couple bites of cold egg I threw up all over the table, with my parents and sister sitting there. Usually I'd have gotten in trouble for THAT in itself but not that time - and I never had to eat poached eggs again.
Unfortunately, my developmentally delayed sister picked up the habit and learned to make herself sick on cue - that was not a good thing. Anyway, I still don't like slimy eggs, slimy okra, oatmeal. I'm fine with beef and chicken liver/s, yogurt, and "soft" scrambled eggs.
