Applesauce. Lord, I loathe that slimy guck. Makes me sick the instant it hits my tongue.

Chicken fried steak. Ick.
The first time I tried rice pudding was in a restaurant when I was about six years old - I was expecting a smooth creamy vanilla pudding and did not like the texture of the rice (we never ate rice at home back then)

Grandma can't do melon. Not watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew. The texture just makes it come right back, and she feels bad about that, because she otherwise would like watermelon, at least. The same thing goes for sushi, although she's kinda biased against that anyway, because the idea of eating raw fish squicks her out.

She used to not like fish much at all, but I've turned her. We eat fish at least a couple times a week now. Just had some pretty tasty pan-fried tuna steaks tonight.
The only fish I really like is salmon. Could eat it all-l-l-l-l day long.

Mayo on sandwiches

I don't dislike mayo but I don't like it well enough to absorb all of the calories. I use mustard and then use my mayo credits for some ice cream. ;-D

I hate mayo on hamburgers. I don't like mayo mixing with ketchup.

Finally, that reminds me of something popular that I don't care for, food-wise.

Mayo.
Ketchup.

I can eat them but would prefer not. And to me, ketchup on fries is a waste of fries.

Pickle relish is okay to make tuna/chicken salad with. Keep it off my dog, though.

Now I'm all hungry for a grilled bratwurst with spicy brown mustard on it.

Ok, FlowJoe, we're officially blood brothers. :loyal:
Ditto to all of that. I only use mayo in recipes like chicken salad or potato salad.

All I have to say is I am so glad I am not all of you! I love mushrooms, coconut, asparagus, beets, mayo, ketchup, rice pudding, applesauce, cheese, curry, etc. In fact, other than very "bizarre" things (like bugs, though I know they are not considered bizarre in some countries) there's not much I have an aversion to. Bring it on!

May have related this story already, my mind wanders. My kid and his best friend wanted me to pick them up some cheeseburgers a few weeks ago on my way home. My son doesn't like anything except meat and cheese, his friend only wanted ketchup and cheese. I order the burgers, bring them home, they pretty much rip the bags out of my hand because they're starving (couple of 12-year olds). The start unwrapping their burgers. My son immediately starts complaining that they put ketchup on his burger, while his friend is on the other side of the kitchen yelling that they DIDN'T put ketchup on his, that it only has meat and cheese. Now, both of these kids are literally about 6 feet from one another and can clearly here what the other is saying. I'm just standing back watching at this point wondering if these two kids are as dense as they seem or what. My son actually starts to walk over to the trash to scrape off the ketchup, while, at the same time his friend opens our fridge to check for a bottle of ketchup.....................At this point, I figure it's a lost cause and I just casually ask them "What if you guys just traded burgers, maybe that would work?" The look that crossed each of their faces was pretty good in the instant of realization..lol I then asked my son if he remembered where his room was or if he needed directions to the front door if they wanted to go outside later.....had both of them cracking up. These two kids are going to be driving in less than 4 years.....straight A's in school, absolutely no common sense whatsoever...lol

Try having about 28 twelve-year-olds in a classroom. I swear it's not much different than teaching kindergarten.

Hola!

Ever had menudo?


Menudo (soup) - Wikipedia


We use beef tripe and a pigs foot in a big pot with all the seasonings. And hominy. Lots and lots of hominy. I like the flavor the tripe gives the broth but I won't eat the tripe or pigs foot. Nope, no, no. (The texture is revolting IMO). This is considered Sunday morning food. You get to eat this after Mass/Communion. "Who's a good girl/boy?"

Hugs!

Good lord, I can only imagine...are the boys worse than the girls as far as being space cadets? I only have a son, he and buddies remind me of a bunch of hyper-active Labrador retrievers for the most part..lol

No cheese. All cheese smells, some smells worse than others but stank is stank.

For the most part, the boys are more spacey at this age. The girls are dramatic and seek to make the other girls feel bad about themselves. They can be soooo mean to each other.
