LIVER yuk!!! cant stand the smell, colour, feel of it, when I was at catering college we were cooking with it and I refused to handle it, my chef got both my hands and pushed them into a big bowl of the stuff, I puked up there and then on the kitchen floor then passed out. He was really sorry afterward and so he should be too.

I used to hate cauliflower when I was a child and didn't try it again until I was about 30. I like it now and broccoli is just about my favourite vegetable.

I hate anything with an aniseed flavour or liquorice.

I don't like egg white. I can eat scrambled egg and omelettes but the texture of a fried or boiled egg white is something I can't face! I used to hate jelly when I was a child because of the wobble!

I love Marmite and lemon flavoured things are great.

That's interesting Kathryn. I've just googled it and you may be right, then again i may just be fussy :-)

With cauliflower, I always thought it was the texture that I disliked most, however, i don't like the taste and can tell when it's in the food I eat.

I avoid broccoli for the same reason as well but I can tolerate broccoli if it's not overcooked and will eat it if it's chopped up in a veggie burger or another meal.

I don't like dark chocolate either because it's too bitter.

I don't drink coffee because it's bitter. I don't like cooked cabbage or sprouts although I do like them raw or stir fried.

However, I do like sharp tastes. I think lemon is very sharp but I love it.

another one for avocados - horrid slimy things yeuch!

worse than that is honey though - I can't be in the same room, the smell literally makes me heave (sorry!)

also loathe melon although the rest of the world seems to love it!

I like spinach but it makes me feel woozy (doc did explain why but I have forgotten!) so I have to really avoid it.

I'm also a marmite-hater!

I agree on the avocado pears - just looking at them make me feel queasy. I know so many people who love them.

Do you know WHY you hate cauliflower? ;)

You're a taster -- or maybe a supertaster.

Do you like dark chocolate but not milk? Can you taste aspertame? Classic taster symptoms!

Tasters taste "bitter" in a way we non-tasters don't.

Have you tried cauliflower lately? Bitter veg are being bred to be less bitter (who was just telling me that about eggplant -- or aubergines, if you prefer?).

Brocolli is less bitter than it used to be. But my taster friend still can't stand cauliflower.


Me, I'm a non-taster. I hate dark chocolate. Put me on an island with milk chocolate and a month later you'd have to roll me off. Dark chocolate, and I'd be decomposing by the time you came back.

Oh, and of course liver. And any kind of fish except canned tuna and fish&chips with lots of ketchup and vinegar. And cherries.
