It's funny how you can like food in one form, but not another.

I'll have bacon in a sandwich, but don't like it on it's own

I'll have a burger in a bun, but don't like beef burgers on their own

I'll have soft boiled egg, but don't like hard boiled

I like almonds, but not marzipan

I'll have celery and carrots cooked, but not raw

I'll have parsnips roasted, but not boiled or mashed

I like Turkish Delight dusted with sugar, but not coated in chocolate

Can anyone add any more

I agree about the marzipan.


Kechup is a strange one for me.

In a bacon / sausage butty. OK
On a burger. OK
On a hotdog. OK

On chips/fries. NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

I like tomato sauce, pasta sauce, pizza sauce etc, but I cant stand tomatoes on their own.

I like almonds too but cannot bare marzipan

Hate cooked carrots but can eat them raw or better still carrot cake

Love fresh cherries but not glace cherries

I adore grapes (eat them everyday) but don't like raisins

Don't like fresh apricots but like dried apricots

I love jelly, cake, cream but hate trifle

Love chicken but don't like chicken soup or chicken crisps

i like fruit and veg from shops, not home grown

I like salt on eggs and uncooked tomatoes but hate it it in anything else

Agree with this...

I love pork but hate ham (and am non plussed about bacon)

Like scrambled eggs and omelette but can't eat egg in any other form (including fried )

I love Tomatoes in all forms fresh or tinned or juice/ pasta sauce, but cut a fresh one up and grill or fry it and I won't touch it.

Love coffee cake, biscuits, ice cream and coffee filled chocolates .......hate coffee as a drink.

i miss dark ones so much they seem to be milk chocolate these days

Raw carrots...yes! cooked carrots...no!
Green bananas...yes! yellow bananas...no!

I've thought of a couple more

I like peas and I like ham - but don't like pea and ham soup

I'm not mad about a peeled banana - but I'll eat the same banana mashed up with a fork

Mushrooms cooked lovely, raw bleugh !
Cheese cooked lovely, raw not so much.

I'm the same. Can't bear tomatoes, be it raw, roasted, fried or grilled. Can't stand tomato soup, either. Love a good tomato-based sauce, though.

Similarly, I don't like bananas, but love banana-flavoured things such as milkshakes, and like bananas in smoothies or banana bread. I guess it's the 'claggy' texture of the whole fruit that I don't like.

Same here, I think this one is pretty common.

I once saw Rick Stein make a salad with raw mushrooms. I couldn't unsterstand how anyone would want to use raw mushrooms.

When I make an asian broth I sometimes put thinly sliced mushrooms in the how broth at the last minute and they are nice and tender, but cooked. I did try a slice of raw mushroom. It was squeaky!


Cheese isn't raw. That would be milk

I like raw onion in salad, but I don't like cooked onions - unless it is an onion ring!

I like chocolate, but don't really like chocolate flavoured things such as ice-cream and milkshake.#

I also like tomato based sauces, pasta/pizza sauce, but not raw tomatoes on their own.

I love pesto on toast. My OH cant understand how I can eat it. I also have tomato sauce with fried egg.

I can happily eat an apple raw, but put it in a pie, yuk....

Most peculiar. I would take home grown fruit & veg over shop bought every time for the taste alone.

I like all forms of chicken, but I hate a chicken roast dinner. Don't know what it is
Love tomatoes cooked, hate raw tomatoes. Same with carrots
Love a bar of chocolate, but I hate chocolate flavoured thing such as ice-cream or milkshake

Now I love coffee as a drink but can't stand coffee flavoured food!

I love satay, but cannot stand peanuts. A friend of mine is the opposite.
We are the Jack spratt and his wife of peanuts

Melted cheese, yes (has to be red leceister) but cold, uncooked cheese, yuck!

I like greek yoghurt drizzled with honey. I hate the "Greek yoghurt with honey" you get in pots.

I like to drink coffee at work, but can barely finish a cup at home. Other way round with tea.

I'll eat eggs however they come - except fried. I've really got to fancy a fried egg to enjoy it.
