You would think things like tripe (cow stomach) and chicken livers would be on this list, but no. I can actually eat those things. The things that truly skeeve me out are fairly common.
1. Cottage Cheese - This is definitely a texture thing. It reminds me of eating fish eggs. Not that I've ever eaten fish eggs, but this is what I would imagine them to taste like.

2. Fish - I have made no secret about how I do not eat fish. Everything about it skeeves me out. The taste, the smell, the texture. I was told that the secret to good fish is in the preperation. I don't buy it. Fish is still stinky.
3. Mushrooms - Unless they are chopped up really small and heavily drowned in sauce, mushrooms are a no go for me.
4. Water chestnuts - No matter how long you cook them, they are still weirdly crunchy. Yuck.
5. Chia Seeds - I just can't get past the fact that they expand and gelatinize in your stomach. Creepy.
6. Nutritional yeast - I know everyone in the blog world seems to love this stuff, and truthfully I have yet to try it and probably won't unless it's unknowingly slipped to me.
7. Beets - There are very few vegetables that I just can't stand and beets are one of them. Maybe it's the fact that they stain everything, maybe it's the fact that they smell like vomit when they're cooking, but whatever it is, there is just no way I can eat them.
8. Tab - Oh yes I went there. It was hot during the 80s and I still randomly see it in supermarkets sometimes and am automatically scared. Nothing like drinking your chemicals!

9. Sour gummies - I like the sour patch kid commercials, but when it comes to actually eating them, I just can't. Typically I like when two flavors are paired together, but sour gummies are just gross.
10. American cheese - I HATE American cheese. I think it's just about the most disgusting thing there is. I love pretty much any other kind of cheese but cannot stomach American cheese. This is one Americanized food that we got completely wrong.
What foods really turn your stomach?
I am with you on the cottage cheese I think the texture is so gross. I hate even watching other people eat it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog post idea! I used to love cottage cheese as a kid and now it makes me cringe.
ReplyDeleteI just googled 'nutritional yeast' and it freaked me out too.
Wow, a list I do NOT agree with you on--finally! Yeah, I pretty much love all of these, especially shroomies, cottage cheese, American cheese, fish and Tab. I love Tab and if it on sale at the store will still buy it.
ReplyDeleteFor me, regular milk (not almond or coconut) really skeeves me out along with curry. I just can't get into it.
Haha, fun list! I like fish, but I'm very picky about it and only eat certain kinds. I'm with you on the fishy smell/taste. I gravitate towards less fishy fish if that makes any sense!
ReplyDeleteLiver skeeves me out. I also really only like onion cooked- if it's raw, I'm not eating it.
so with you on the beets and they are EVERYWHERE now!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a huge issue wi th cottage cheese too!! Unfortunately you can cooked oatmeal to the list too for me. Its texture can be so mushy jus like cottage cheese!
ReplyDeleteOh hi, the first 9 things on that list I am with you whole heartedly. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteHehe, I love so many of the things on this list! I'm with you on American cheese, though. I also really don't like celery (cooked or raw).
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the mushrooms, but I have to say I love beets haha. Hmmm I can't do shrimp (most shellfish really), dark meat chicken, pork chops, horseradish sauce... there are other things but they aren't coming to me.
ReplyDeleteHaha this is soo funny... I pretty much eat/LOVE most of these foods. I used to feel the same way about cottage cheese but now I love it. Besides all meat, I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I won't eat... but I am a very plain eater!
ReplyDeletehahaha i love a lot of things on your list - especially beets. :( i hate red onion! ew ew ew
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on the cottage cheese. I have tried time and time again to like it and even add it to things but I don't like the taste and I don't like the texture - mostly it's the texture thing.
ReplyDeletei'm totally with you on the beets, they're hein.
ReplyDeletecheck out my ten foods i hate list.
I hate onions. HATE THEM.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you on the chia seeds. I just picture a Chia Pet growing in my stomach.
You had me for the first 9. Seriously. I was like, this girl and I are soul mates. Then you went to American Cheese. I'm sorry, but, I LOVE American Cheese. It's glorious. Ha. Great list though!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the TAB and American cheese! I can't go near Cool Whip, ick!
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya on the water chesnuts. They're so strange...
ReplyDeleteI hate pickles. They smell funny and they're just gross. Enough said.
I can't get past the cottage cheese texture either. My mom still drinks Tab, it's nasty and tastes like what you would drink if you mixed orange soda and rootbeer together, so gross.
ReplyDeleteI like all of those things besides beets and tab.
ReplyDeleteI hate mayo and blue cheese. Actually, I hate all sorts of stinky cheese. I don't want to eat mold!
I am so on board with the cottage cheese thing! I don't think I've ever even had it, but the whole thing just freaks me out big time!
