Peppers. Red, yellow, green, just the smell of them makes me sick.

Caviar. I don't care if it's exclusive, I bet EVERYONE hates it and only pretends to like it to fit in to some stupid social cliche.

Crackling/pork rind - I used to love this as a kid, now it makes me retch. Same for pork scratchings.

Wiener Schnitzel (veal in breadcrumbs) - just far too strong tasting.

Quail. Just because you might as well eat chicken and be done with it.

Squirty cream. Tastes plasticky.

Tofu. In fact, why am I including this, it's not even food, it's cardboard mould.

Tinned burgers, pies and sausages. Tried these at uni, never again!

...on the other hand, I love brussels sprouts, am neutral on celery (annoys me when people put it in veg soup etc though, it's a salad item!) and will try any food once regardless of it's social status, preparation method, etc. So long as it's hygenic and not totally abhorrent, of course.

I thought I ate everything and that I was really unfussy, but when I think about it the list is long enough!

Avocado - actually makes me gag!
Pork, offal, liver, kidneys etc
Lemon
Rhubarb
Honey
Marzipan
Cherries
Whiskey
Milk - I can have it in cereal coffee etc, but the smell of a glass of milk on it's own makes me gag.
soft egg yolk

I LOVE sprouts.
I have a list of food I hated until recently and now love
Olives
Hummous
Artichokes
Lamb

Tripe.

I'll eat/have a try at anything and the only things I really will not eat is Dried Fruit and Beetroot. Not keen on Brussel Sprouts, but would suffer them to be polite if someone put them on my plate.

Agreed.

I know now that my mother used to overcook liver so I was never fonf=d of it.

Must try it properly sometime - cooke 1 to 1.5 minutes ech side.

Mushrooms are wonderful whether slow baked, fried with butter on in the microwave.

Broccoli is great stir fried with soy sauce.

Start out on chicken livers, much creamier and less agressively metalic tastic than pig or lamb, (although I love em)

Look at the cholesterol - 1170% of your Recommended Daily Allowance

Coronary-tastic!

There are foods I know I'd probably enjoy blind folded and beautifully cooked but I still hate the idea of them.

Sweetbreads (which seem to have a starring role in this year's Great British Menu) are one such. It's that gland thing...

Hey Duncan, you quoted someone with a makeshift vomiting smiley just as I made one too!

About time DS made an official one.

I know, and weird that we both resurrected the thread at the same time after no-one had posted in it for several hours!

I'll try most things, the recent being artichoke, in a salad I had at Pizza Express, but I wasn't sure what to make of it. Had a sweet taste but not all that nice really.

Not keen on:
Olives
Hummus from the tub, but OK in a wrap.
Celery
Doughnuts
Watermelon, but I do like the melon with the orange flesh

I like most things, but this would be my idea of the meal from hell:

Starter: Oxtail Soup
Main course: Liver, sprouts and butter beans
Dessert: Jelly

All washed down with lemon barley water.

olives and tomatoes

polenta

okra

Rice
Sprouts
Cauliflower
Offal

Lamb (the smell of it cooking makes me heave)
Turkish delight ( and palma violets and anything else that tastes of perfume)
Dark chocolate
Green peppers (Dunno why, find them impossible to digest)
Walnuts
Spring onions
(Rainbow) Trout (I like most fish, but find this revolting)
Turnips
(Big) Oranges ( I can handle satsumas and clementines, but oranges make me gag)
Marzipan

I love liver, broccoli and sprouts. I love broccoli so much that when I have a dinner with it on, it is the first thing I eat on it's own dipped in gravy, yum!

Hate-
Baked beans
Prawns and any other shellfish
Mushrooms
Celery
Beetroot
Parsnip (although parsnip crisps are quite nice)
Anything smoked
Olives
Quiche- Vile!!
Pearl Barley
Marzipan
Pork Pie
Raw Tomatoes
Parsley

Eel.

Olives aren't popular but I love them.

Eel
Marmite
Beetroot
Piccallilly
Corned Beef
Spam
Olives
Squid/Cockles etc.

Marmite is OK spread thinly but it makes the breath really stink

Only in America

It's one of the two things I would eat in a fruit cake. I usually just eat the icing

My brother and best friend both hate mushies, my brother so much when he was a kid he'd bawk on them, couldn't swallow them.....not nice!!

I don't think haggis is that popular south of Scotland, although I love it!

For me, Liver and kidney's are gross and peas, peas are just wrong!! Fish that's not battered and beetroot. yuk yuk yuk yuk!!

I'm sure no-one can like pilchards - I always thought they were just cat food.

A few more to add to my list:

Fruit cake
Christmas pudding
Mince Pies
Parsnips
Icing
Quiche
