I'm exactly the same. I have to take tomatoes out of a burger but then I'll put a big dollop of tomato ketchup on it. I'd happily eat tomato soup but I could never eat a raw one.

I'll consume a banana mixed in a smoothie or baked in a desert but I don't think I've ever peeled and eaten a raw one. The smell just puts me off. It's a shame as I know that fresh bananas are cheap, healthy and come in their own convenient packaging.

I like sausages and Yorkshire pudding but don't like toad in the hole!

So many people do not like tomatoes I adore them and eat them like sweets.

I love onions red or white but don't like spring onions

I completely dislike fruit cake but can eat Malt Loaf

I dislike Christmas cake due to the dried fruit but can eat Mince Pies

I like smoky bacon crisps, but don't like smoky bacon

I really like mushy peas but don't like garden peas. I quite often have mushy peas with my roast dinner.

The OH won't touch sweetcorn but loves corn on the cob. Weirdo.

The other way around


The other way around.

Similar with peas.

I can eat mushy peas but I have to be in the mood and prefer garden peas.
Marrow fat peas are almost always reserved for roast dinners. Sometimes they might go into a stew.

I prefer garden peas over all.

Lemons and Strawberries both make me feel physically sick but I like Lemon on pancakes and Strawberries if they're in jam.

I don't like carrots or peas but I can have them in a steak pie.

I detest mash but love roast potatoes/chips.

I don't like raw tomatoes/gurkins but can have them in a burger fine.

On the marzipan thing...

I like almonds, Christmas cake and Battenberg cake - but I don't like marzipan on its own.

This probably isn't the same thing, but I love bananas and can't bear anything banana flavoured.

I'm with the raw / cooked veg folk though - can eat any veg at all cooked or in soup etc., but raw carrots / celery / tomatoes (fruit, whatever) I can't eat!

I like pwarn cocktail crisps and prawn crackers. For a period last year I was opsessed with pwarn cocktail pringles.


I don't like pawns though.

Love pineapple on its own but hate it on pizza and in meals.

Love both raw and cooked tomato. Cannot stand tomato Ketchup though!

Also hate coconut and chocolate together. Both separately are fine, together they are ruined.

I like crackling and pork scratchings.

I don't like pork crunch - pork quavers as I call them.

oohh i love a dark bounty bars..i have half left in the fridge

That's because they are the devils food. Scratchings are wonderful though.

I love jam, make the stuff myself, but I never have it on a soft roll.
It's delicious on all kinds of bread, but on soft rolls.. blrghhh.

another who likes Almonds but not Marzipan

I like pineapple in Smoothies but hate the fruit on it's own

Like coffee flavoured Hot Chocolate but don't like Coffee

I like onion but not onion rings

I love crisps but hate them in a sandwich

Another in the drink coffee, but hate coffee flavoured things camp. I also dislike flavoured coffee

Both of these!!

Peas - Love fresh in the pod just of the "plant thing" raw or cooked. Mushy peas get the thumbs up, the dried marrowfat ones you have to soak before you cook are great and processed peas are good too. When it comes to garden peas tinned or frozen - YEUK!

Frozen garden peas are fine but tinned ones are horrible. Tinned marrowfat peas are revolting beyond description. Mushy peas I can take or leave.

Orangemaid, I have come to your rescue! You might like to try this dark choc coffee ganache from Chococo.

Espresso: Fairtrade coffee in a fresh dark chocolate ganache topped with a chocolate coffee bean. A big favourite with a lot of our customers and a Gold Great Taste Award winner of 2006.

I used to buy all my gift chocolates from Hotel Chocolat, but from being a small friendly company they have now grown into a massive corporate enterprise and I ditched them last year in favour of Chococo. My recipients say that Chococo's chocs are much nicer. I 'phoned them to check the chocolate does indeed have a dark choc shell (they call it a 'dome') and it does. Note prices include p&p and I don't work for them, it's just a recommendation from me to you. http://www.chococo.co.uk/products/detail.php?prodid=482

On topic conversely I love marzipan, especially Niederegger, but not almonds.

Love icing, like marzipan, love fruitcakes....HATE fruitcakes topped with marzipan and icing.

It think it's just too much. I was bought up eating butter and/or cheese on fruitcake, so the combo of icing and marzipan on a cake is too sickly sweet. Fruitcake needs a slightly salty or savory topping.

Love oranges and fresh orange juice, love chocolate - absolutely detest 'chocolate orange' whether it's Terry's or just a chocolate with and orange centre. Makes me sick, hate hate hate!!
