@jst1ofknd If they are done right I actually like them. Put them under the broiler with sea salt and pepper so they dry out a bit and the outsides get crispy.
@jst1ofknd@ybmuG The science museum here has a kitchen and makes healthy food for the kids to try. They do brussels sprouts sometimes. It’s amazing what a pound of bacon does for them. I’ll even eat them.
I don’t hate any food, but I voted for cilantro because it’s not a food, just some sort of cleaning product that accidentally gets into my food by mistake sometimes.
@ThunderChicken Liver, the only food I can remember being forced to eat as a child and throwing up immediately. On the plus side, I was never made to eat anything again. And I haven’t eaten liver since.
@ThunderChicken I think what tipped the scales for me when courting my (now) wife was that I was her first beau who also liked chicken livers sauteed with onions.
@mike808@RiotDemon@ThunderChicken
Ditto! For me, liver is one of those dishes where from a handful of people it’s top-ten material, and from others it’s nope-no-way.
@ceruleanseas When I was a kid, our next door neighbor was an 80-something widow living on a meager pension. My mom would often send me over with a plate of whatever we were having for dinner. She would always insist that I take a piece of candy from an ancient jar of circus peanuts that were so old that they were rock hard. I’d graciously take one and then go home an feed it to the dog. I don’t even like them when they’re fresh.
Ok, so I am basically a seefood kind of guy… If I see food I’ll eat it. Of all the above my least favorite is beets. But if they are on my plate they get eaten.
Mom would be proud.
@chienfou We grow beets in our garden. My wife makes a roasted beet salad with red and gold beets, pecans and bleu cheese that is delicious. Always a hit at Thanksgiving, even with the beet naysayers.
@macromeh OK, I’m in… I’ll have to try something like that.
(BTW lots of foods people “don’t like” are not a problem if you get them from the garden. Eggplant is a good example. WAY better if you get it fresh)
@chienfou@macromeh That beet salad is delish. Especially with “the good stuff” Balsamic vinegar.
I love beets also. I really like Sofie’s sweet pickled beets from Costco. Think bread and butter pickles, but with beets. They’re like deep ruby jewel candy.
Canned spaghetti in general, the worst is FrancoAmerican Spaghetti. My mother usta eat that shit, with boiled hotdogs no less. The only canned pasta I sortta like is meat raviolis, and I’d rather not eat that either.
In addition to some of the others mentioned here, let me add…mushrooms. Ugh! I like the flavor of mushroom soup (kinda), but the consistency when you bite into a mushroom is just…repulsive! And oysters. If I never see another, it’ll be fine with me!
Chitlins
The smell of the boiling preparation (and seeing the crap that ends up in the boil) tells you how wasted you need to be to ever eat the final product.
@elimanningface I am assuming how slugs and dried dirt taste. I would not likely ever eat either, as I assume they taste like mushrooms and I don’t like their taste.
/image circular logic
@elimanningface
I’d probably eat the bread if i had to or the lima beans
I might cross over to eat the beets if I was starving or even the aspar grass
mushrooms and eggplant, can’t do it
@ahacksaw@llangley Sometimes they are a bit strong, the fresher the better. How do you feel about pickled red onions? They are super easy to make, and are great on sandwiches, salads, eggs, etc.
Beets are disgusting, but even worse are the boiled eggs they soak in beet-colored juice and call them “pickled.” Also, “specialty” meats, like tripe, pickled pigs’ feet, gizzards, ox tails, etc. should be called especially meats instead, as in they’re especially gross. Finally, there’s liver pudding. Unless you’re Pink Floyd, there’s no way you’re eating that…
Haven’t we had this question before? (I’m too lazy to search for it right now). Even some of these responses seem familiar (e.g. cilantro tasting like soap).
Pretty sure I said pickles last time and that is still my answer. Most foods I don’t like I can usually tolerate if it is merely an ingredient in a larger dish, but pickles are a deal-breaker.
peas. (exception: raw sugar snap peas are ok.) bread and butter pickles. also, anything leafy that has been wilted or fully cooked. can’t even watch other people eat it without the feeling like my stomach is doing a backflip.
i also once tried whole baby octopus. i wouldn’t have it a second time.
i’m sure i have dislikes beyond those but, i think that covers the things i would either outright refuse or have to pick out of other food before eating it. (i’d also have to refuse pancetta but that’s only because it makes me violently ill.)
oh yeah, i forgot nuts and seeds. i guess because i don’t think of them as food. tastes like eating rocks or rubble somebody found in the driveway. i don’t get it. (but stuff like peanut butter & tahini are great.)
@Limewater i love mayo (not like, i slather it on everything but it’s good in recipes and i like a thin swipe on a turkey sandwich) but i hate miracle whip my partner loves both so i always have it in the fridge and it’s just…that tang
@jerk_nugget I think you’re more than 1000 miles away from me. As long as we keep that radius, I think we’re good. That’s slightly more advanced social distancing.
There is a chain restaurant near my house that specialized in chicken salad. I hate to even drive past it as my brain convinces me that I can smell it.
@lisaviolet fries in mayo is pretty common outside the US as i understand it - they just call it “aioli” so it sounds nicer, and usually flavor it with garlic and/or herbs etc. mayo is also the base of fry sauce which is pretty good.
Limewater posted a reply after I said I HATE BLACK LICORICE & JUJUBES (the black ones).
He stated ALL LICORICE IS BLACK.
DUHHH. No, they’ve always made Red LICORICE - flavors might be Strawberry, Cherry, Raspberry, etc. And he wanted to know Where can u still buy JUJUBES. On AMAZON. COM. They’re still called JUJUBES or JUJYFRUITS.
@Purplebass86 Hello!
You should just be able to hit “Reply” under my post to make it easier.
But no, that other stuff in other flavors is not licorice. It is not made with licorice, it does not taste like licorice. Most major manufacturers to not refer to it as licorice. If you look at Twizzlers, only the actual Licorice flavored ones are referred to as licorice. They are generally just referred to as “twists.”
I see Jujyfruits all the time in stores, but I never see Jujubes. The last time I was able to buy them in a store was late 2015 or the first half of 2016.
I’m still waiting for Necco Wafers to come back. I have two rolls left.
@Limewater i love necco wafers. also like conversation hearts, candy cigarettes, etc. if it’s reminiscent of chalk i’ll eat it, i guess (i also like antacids!)
@Limewater@mschuette@Purplebass86 there was a moment that the local theatre changed to red Vines. Me and my brother bought a bag. Absolutely disgusting.
Red Vines are West coast, twizzlers are East coast.
@jerk_nugget@Limewater I had a calculus teacher in high school that used to eat chalk. He’d hold it in his mouth like a cigarette. I think he was a little…how shall I put it delicately…eccentric.
They also have Jujyfruits, as well as four flavors of Turkish Taffy (including chocolate - I seem to recall someone here was looking for that a while back). They don’t sell Necco wafers separately, but you can buy bags of assorted retro candy that contain a small roll of them.
@lordbowen@rockblossom@ThunderChicken Yeah, I know you can order Jujubes, but it’s just not the same as buying them in the store.
I’d be surprised if those assorted candy packs still include Necco Wafers. They haven’t made any in about two years. I’m still waiting for Spangler to start making them again.
They were originally planning to have them out by September or November of last year, but now the website just says they’ll announce something mid-2020.
If you don’t like Brussels sprouts, odds are you need to try them cooked differently. Those things can be either completely disgusting or absolutely delicious.
@billchase2 I used to hate brussels sprouts until I tried them cooked with a lot of bacon and onions and browned. That made them much better.
I’ll try most anything I don’t like if there’s enough bacon cooked in. Except tentacle things…
@billchase2 Brussels Sprouts have a new cultivar that has come to popularity in the last decade or so; they are much less bitter than grandma’s Brussels Sprouts. Re-try them if it has been a good long while.
Vienna Sausage. In school, rural Missouri, small town on the bank of the Mississippi River, we used to get served Vienna Sausages for lunch like twice a week sometimes. I hated those things. Surprisingly to me though, lots of kids liked them so, I was able to trade for a homemade PBJ or a tuna salad sandwich. They are also an effective catfish bait.
Tripe, pig ears, tongue.
As a kid I cleaned my plate no matter what. All veggies (spinach, brussel sprouts, eggplant), all sorts of meats (liver, chicken hearts, rabbit, blood sausage, etc), all seasoning styles, whatever. I’d even eat the left behind peppers, onions, cilantro twigs, etc in the pot.
Yet, my mom would stilllll make me sit at the table for hours on end when they fixed one of the three I mention above as if I was some picky eater. ???
I like everything listed and most everything talked about. The only things that I can think of that I won’t eat are undercooked okra (the snot-ball in the center is revolting) but I’ll eat crunchy okra, twizzlers/red vines (please don’t even breathe in my direction, ugh the smell) and I guess that’s it. Watermelon is one I just dislike but could eat if it came down to it. Have not had any for decades though.
Candy corn
@fondaporn I acquired a taste for them a while back.
@fondaporn I voted Circus peanuts, but I fully support this answer as well.
@fondaporn @mschuette
I love both candy corn and circus peanuts.
@hchavers I can understand that. meh did engage us in exposure therapy for a number of years.
Eggplant.
@shahnm smear it with mayo, a little salt and pepper and then grill it. It’s candy!
@ybmuG Nope. Still hell.
@shahnm @ybmuG slice it, flour, egg, panko, fry, cover in mozz and sauce, bake.
@shahnm I’m not a fan of eggplant, but I do like baba ganoush. And I think most of the attraction is because it’s fun to say.
@jml326 @shahnm
And then serve it on kalamata olive bread
@jml326 @ybmuG @macromeh Then it’s just sliced fried hell with flour, egg, panko, mozz, and sauce.
Though baba ganoush is ok as long as the eggplant is pureed beyond any textural relationship to its original hellish consistency.
Mom hates circus peanuts, I hate beets.
A slice of tomato at Subway
@dave oddly specific.
@dave Just one particular slice?
@dave hmm, this is probably a close second for me
@dave Which subway? The D train?
I actually quite like brussel sprouts. I’m the only one in my family that does.
@jst1ofknd If they are done right I actually like them. Put them under the broiler with sea salt and pepper so they dry out a bit and the outsides get crispy.
@jst1ofknd a restaurant near us does a roasted Brussels bacon onion hash. Side dish, topping for burgers. I always sub a side for it.
@FireMrshlBill
I do mine in an air fryer (frier?). Put them in a bad with some oil and salt and pepper then into the fryer it goes. I do the same thing to radishes.
@jst1ofknd
Relevant XKCD

I love XKCD and I could probably spend all day trading favorite comics.
@jst1ofknd @ybmuG The science museum here has a kitchen and makes healthy food for the kids to try. They do brussels sprouts sometimes. It’s amazing what a pound of bacon does for them. I’ll even eat them.
I don’t hate any food, but I voted for cilantro because it’s not a food, just some sort of cleaning product that accidentally gets into my food by mistake sometimes.
@awk but Pico de gallo… Yummm…
@awk Cilantro tastes like soap???
Artichoke hearts in salads
Onions
@aliasdenied French onion soup is delicious.
Liver. Although cilantro was a nice try.
@ThunderChicken I tried the smallest bite of liver a few months ago… I couldn’t believe how pungent that is.
I love liver pate so I was pretty disappointed.
@RiotDemon @ThunderChicken
Pungent or metallic? Smothered liver & onions is some serious home/soul food for me.
And some good Braunschweiger is delish.
@ThunderChicken Liver, the only food I can remember being forced to eat as a child and throwing up immediately. On the plus side, I was never made to eat anything again. And I haven’t eaten liver since.
@ThunderChicken I think what tipped the scales for me when courting my (now) wife was that I was her first beau who also liked chicken livers sauteed with onions.
@RiotDemon @ThunderChicken It also has a texture problem. Eww.
@mike808 @RiotDemon @ThunderChicken
Ditto! For me, liver is one of those dishes where from a handful of people it’s top-ten material, and from others it’s nope-no-way.
@jester747 @RiotDemon @ThunderChicken
What can I say, there are some offal people in the world.
Sweetbreads are another level of delicious, too.
@mike808 I saw what you did there/
Circus peanuts are the shiznitz and no one can tell me differently.
@ceruleanseas
no they aren’t…
/giphy SWIDT
@ceruleanseas I came here to say this, they’re delicious!
@ceruleanseas When I was a kid, our next door neighbor was an 80-something widow living on a meager pension. My mom would often send me over with a plate of whatever we were having for dinner. She would always insist that I take a piece of candy from an ancient jar of circus peanuts that were so old that they were rock hard. I’d graciously take one and then go home an feed it to the dog.

Liver. Definitely liver. Gack.
@ruouttaurmind
/giphy preach
@ruouttaurmind @therealjrn That brings back terrible childhood memories.
@sammydog01 @therealjrn I have no idea what my mom was thinking, but she would serve fried liver and boiled spinach in the same meal.
Whole grain bread full of bird seed.
@edguyver14 That’s just nuts!
@edguyver14 Bird seed is good for you, it makes you shit. You’ll come to value that attribute.
@edguyver14 Best. Bread. Ever.
@edguyver14 @ruouttaurmind
The Good Seed variety is better, IMHO.

I like them all. Cilantro is an herb, not a food.
I hate the poisonous kind.
Like manager special sell-by fugu.
Salmiakki, especially the hot spicy flavor. Introduced to it by my new Nokia manager in Copenhagen airport.
@hchavers oh god, this stuff is too much! I had it while I was studying in Helsinki… salty spicy licorice? ugh!

Oatmeal
@Al_Coholic I just had oatmeal with craisins, pecans and cinnamon for breakfast. Yum!
@macromeh if you have to add that much shit to it to make it tolerable it’s not meant for human consumption.
@Al_Coholic @macromeh That’s why mixed drinks are bullshit.
I love oatmeal. I don’t usually eat it plain, but I absolutely have and will.
I hate LIVER, BLACK LICORICE, JUJUBEES - black ones, baby corn, COLD BEETS, ANISE FLAVORED ANYTHING
@Purplebass86 you have to let all that hate go, man.

@Purplebass86 All licorice is black.
And where do you find jujubees? I never see them, and haven’t had any in years. I’d like to, though.

@Tadlem43 agreed.

Goat cheese
@Snshyn75 Crazy. I go out of my way to order something that has goat cheese.
@Snshyn75 Agreed. I do not see the attraction for goat cheese/milk. To me, it tastes like goats smell. Yuck. (But I do like sheep’s milk feta.)
Mushrooms: the little ones like on pizza are like eating slugs, the big portabella are dried dirt.
@mollama interesting, mushrooms made the list but slugs and dried dirt did not. Why are mushrooms the most hated of all three?
@elimanningface @mollama unpredictability
@elimanningface I am assuming how slugs and dried dirt taste. I would not likely ever eat either, as I assume they taste like mushrooms and I don’t like their taste.

Lima beans. Texture and taste are both revolting.
Beans: Lima, navy, baked, refried, lentils. Hate them all. Green beans are good.
@callow I’ve heard good things about the jelly variety. Personally, I like the kidney kind.
@elimanningface Yes! Except the black ones.
@callow @elimanningface I’ve never seen black kidney beans.
@callow I feel the opposite way
Mushrooms
Beets
Lima Beans especially of the dried beans
Asparagus - pew pew
Eggplant
Outside of the produce type aisle I agree with the overly seeded bread
@Cerridwyn interesting six way tie. A cynical person might argue you don’t have a most hated food if there are six you equally hate.
@elimanningface
I’d probably eat the bread if i had to or the lima beans
I might cross over to eat the beets if I was starving or even the aspar grass
mushrooms and eggplant, can’t do it
Raw onions, but COOKED are delicious!!
Which reminds me…
LIVER
@llangley Raw red onions in particular are disgusting. I don’t understand how they’re considered food.
@ahacksaw @llangley Sometimes they are a bit strong, the fresher the better. How do you feel about pickled red onions? They are super easy to make, and are great on sandwiches, salads, eggs, etc.
@llangley @mschuette Picked onions, including red ones, are great in moderation. It’s just the raw ones that are evil.
Beets are disgusting, but even worse are the boiled eggs they soak in beet-colored juice and call them “pickled.” Also, “specialty” meats, like tripe, pickled pigs’ feet, gizzards, ox tails, etc. should be called especially meats instead, as in they’re especially gross.

I can actually SMELL when it’s cooking that it’s reached the point of inedibility.
