Least Favorite Food

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

Also Anchovies, Caviar, and Seaweed make me want to gag as well as Sushi!!!

Gosh my list is growing and here I thought I could eat just about anything It seems we all have our preferences!!!

You are right because I love sushi, I eat seaweed in all sorts of things. I like anchovies & caviar in things but I wouldn't eat a big pile of them. It's just too salty. The thing about what I dislike is that I don't hate all beans or all eggplant. I just hate mushy beans or mushy eggplant. It's a texture thing. For instance I love sweet potatoes but I once made a recipe for sweet potato puree that was so smooth I actually threw up. It was the worst thing I ever had in my mouth. I hate that texture of baby food. The weird thing is if you added some flour and fried it into fritters or added stock and made it into soup I would have licked the platter clean.

THAT IS FUNNY......
I WONDER IF YOU HAD A TRAUMATIC CHOKING EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU WERE JUST A BABY THAT LEFT YOU SCARRED FOR LIFE AND HATE ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH BABY FOOD JUST AN UNEDUCATED GUESS

I USED TO HATE OKRA (BOILED) AND EGGPLANT (SAUTEED) AND ANYTHING "SLIMY-LIKE" AS A KID, I OVER CAME THOSE AS I GOT OLDER AND GREW THEM IN OUR GARDEN, IT SEEMS THE ACTUALL PROCESS OF GROWING THEM AND THEN PICKING AND PREPARING THEM IN MEALS CHANGED ME. I STARTED OUT EATING OKRA BOILED IN A STEWED TOMATO/CORN/OKRA COMBO. THEN FOR SOME WIERD UNEXPLAINED REASON I FELL IN LOVE WITH EGGPLANT! MY MOM WAS NOT SUCH A GREAT COOK AND SEASONING IN HER FOOD LEFT IT LESS THAN DESIREABLE, I THINK MY OWN COOKING AND SEASONING TECHNIQUES ENABLED ME TO EAT THINGS THAT PREVIOUSLY MADE ME GAG!

You are definitely right there. There are so many foods I hated as a kid that I learned I really like when I make them myself. I'm a strange one in that I actually remember things that happened when I was 2 or 3. Most people don't remember when they were that young. I remember my mother giving me baby food and I hated it. I didn't want to eat that nasty stuff. I wanted to eat the fresh veggies from my grandmother's garden. I also was a butter bandit. If you left the refrigerator unguarded for more than a minute I would have gobbled up every stick of butter in there.

I love eggplant fritters, eggplant parm, moussaka, roasted eggplant, etc but any dish that says roast the eggplant and scoop out the pulp..... no thanks.

The thought of a baby gnawing on sticks of butter is hilarious!

I have a "texture" thing too depending on what I'm eating. I can't stand food that is too crispy, especially if it's crispy AND cold like salad with croutons. I like lettuce, I like croutons, but get them in a bite together and I'm not a happy camper.

I think this is the funniest thread ever, it crackes me up reading the things we hate to eat

You know Jfain, my Dad to this day loves butter like that he will sit at the table and take his butter knife and slice off a piece and just pop it in his mouth. On bread I LOVE lots of butter!!! On rice LOTS of butter, and on a Baked Potato LOTS of BUTTER Yummy yummy butter m-m-m-m!

I like bread on my butter too. Potatoes on my butter even better.

I love to make open faced sandwiches with really good butter then topped with either thinly sliced, radishes, tomatoes or cucumber and a little good salt. mmmm it's just delicious.
