Long rice.. I can't stand the look of its transparency. I dont like the texture at all. I LOVE noodles but these I just cannot seem to get past the aesthetics. There is this korean beef soup I love which features long rice, and they just sit in the bottom of my bowl untouched.

A solution would be to starve yourself until you'll eat anything.

I love tomatoes in any form - except for tomato juice. Ugh! It's definitely the texture. Can't get past it.

Awwwww, dang. Seriously, 2 days ago I thought we had too much fresh produce lying around the refridgerator, so I made carrot/peanut soup. I thought it was fantastic! I can't even imagine someone looking at that pureed orange goodness and thinking 'Yick!". I simmered the onions on low for an hour, and did the same w the carrots. It was so sweet and tasty!

I also have that 'texture' issue. One more thing I won't eat - gummy anything! Bears, worms, beans, rolls, fruits, whatever. Gross.

With carrots, it could also be the taste. When carrots get to a certain temperature point in cooking, the chemistry changes and the sugar comes out. They get sweet. I personally can't stand cooked carrots, just because of the taste. I don't mind them slightly sauteed but will pick them out of foods like stew.

Re: Foods You Don't Like

My best friend is the same way! Maybe it's a texture thing? I don't like certain foods (Jello) just b/c of the texture. Nothing jiggly or slimey. I HATE slimey.

No, it's not the texture, because my friend insisted that I try her famous pureed carrot soup. I gagged after forcing down one sip. Kept gagging and tearing, just looking at the orange soupy mess. So weird. I should research my childhood, and see if there was any trauma associated with cooked carrots, hah.

Re: Foods You Don't Like

I've always hated cooked carrots. I like raw carrots, but the cooked variety literally makes me want to puke. I will actually gag. I wonder why?

I have to say that I am also a member of the anti-liver group, but that is most likely a result of only having eaten my mother's burnt liver and onions as a child. As I am typing this, the momory of that awful smell is coming back to me. It was so bad that I have refused to even try it again. Perhaps someday, but not yet.

In Tonga, shark liver no cook (fo'i'ati loli) is food reserved foa noble and matapule only.

The only form of liver I've ever eaten but don't particularly care for is ake (raw liver, Hawaiian style).

You no can be matapule, brah! Fo'i'ati loli mean "swee lil gurlfren." Yum yummy!

Re: Foods You Don't Like

Hmm I like most food. Having served in the British Royal Navy. I would eat food that would make a goat puke.

Re: Foods You Don't Like

Liver (altho' I like most pates) and cilantro come to mind…

Sue, yup, liver is another no-no for me. Bleck. I'll pass on Pâté and Foie Gras (duck or goose liver) as well.

Cannot stomach liver, but I like chicken livers--strange.

LIVER, BRUSSELS SPROUTS, PEAS & Cottage Cheese!

Liver of any kind especially foie gras, offal…

But there are still a few things I WILL NOT eat: asparagus, cilantro, liver, mushrooms…

I'll eat all "normal" foods except liver…

Wow, Honoruru and I are definitely outnumbered on liver!

I must be one of the only people here who likes liver almost every way I've ever had it:
calves' liver fried w/bacon & onions, chicken livers, liverwurst, rumaki, pâté, foie gras...

Re: Foods You Don't Like

BEETS! ugh...

Oh My! we may have to start another thread called "Foods I Love". I love beets, any way you can cook them - I will eat them.

When I was a kid, the only beets I had ever tasted were canned. I hated them!

One day, someone gave my mom some fresh beets... and it was like a TOTALLY different food!
She cooked them, and they were YUM!

To this day, I don't care much for most CANNED vegetables...
But frozen or fresh, they're great!
