Food in cans (with the exception of San Marzano tomatoes and some beans)
Frozen food (with the exception of peas, corn and maybe spinach)
Convinience food (no exception)
Fast food (no exception)
Apart from that ... oh, I don't need kidneys on my plate.
The Vadress, strangely enough, has been eating all kinds of seafood, blue cheeses and other stuff since she was 4 but never ever liked mashed potatoes, fish fingers or such. Everytime she comes back from a friend's birthday party she says "I'm hungry, all they had for dinner was fries and chicken nuggets, bleeeerg!"

I had some of that 'silver needles' chinese/japanese [not sure which] tea as a gift one time. It's a 'white tea' and reputed to be the most expensive tea in the world. I made it very carefully according to the instructions and it had virtually no discernable flavour that I could grasp at all. Perhaps I don't have the right type of taste buds [or I have blasted the life out of them with chili and vindaloo currys].
[Also had some of the reputed most expensive coffe in the world - some wierd stuff that apparently has to pass through the bowels of the civet and then is collected by hand from the jungle floor. Tasted like civet crap to me.]

I hate when people put lavender in my desert. I feel like I am eating soap. Not a big fan of rosemary for the same reason. I won't eat veal. Haven't eaten it since I saw how the calves are kept about 20 years ago. I hate okra. It's slimy. Don't eat liver. It is the filtering system of the body and I just don't think it is good to consume. Not a fan of bean curd that is found in Asian desserts. Hate margarine, it tastes fake. Don't eat goat, rabbit, lamb, beef or pork. Just don't.

Elephant-poop coffee is said to be even more expensive now.
Think of the elephant as the animal kingdom's equivalent of a slow cooker. It takes between 15-30 hours to digest the beans, which stew together with bananas, sugar cane and other ingredients in the elephant's vegetarian diet to infuse unique earthy and fruity flavors, said the 42-year-old Canadian, who has a background in civet coffee.

I'll give anything a shot.
But of the things I've tried, I'm not a fan of bologna; most meat loaf; wokked meat dishes (I almost always go vegetarian at Asian restaurants); malts (although I adore milkshakes); turkey bacon; kielbasa that is made with turkey in it (tastes too much like filler; give me the beef and pork); peaches (raw or cooked; I don't even like the smell, not even peach scents)...
There are probably others, especially meat cooked past the moo-ing stage.

Heh. I am proud to say that Menolly will eat - has even asked for - meatloaf made per the recipe Dam-sel and I use.
My strongest food aversion I can think of is that I cannot abide undercooked egg white. No rational reason; just was compelled as a child to eat fried or poached eggs with not-entirely-set whites. Made me gag then, and I can't suppress the reaction even all these decades later.

Haha, I'm a really fussy eater. I have serious texture issues too.
Lessee...I don't eat seafood of any description, fish, shellfish or molluscs, if it lived in the water, I don't eat it. (Except seaweed...I don't have a problem with seaweed.)
I don't eat any cooked green vegetables, but I can eat some of them raw. (Peas, green beans, spinach.)
I hate cucumber, asparagus, aubergine, artichokes, cabbage, brussel sprouts, and broccoli. I don't eat onions or turnips or beetroot (unless it's pickled). I don't like things that are minced or mushy or boiled too long.
I prefer raw carrots to cooked ones, although I will eat both. I don't have a problem with mushrooms (fresh, not canned) or tomatoes, but I hate pecan nuts and I won't eat egg white.
I don't eat pork sausages, or any kind of beans (except raw green ones) and I don't do organ meat either.
Oh, and I hate coriander.
That's all I can think of off-hand, but I assure you there is more.

Man - how do you guys live! Av and Lorin - it would be faster to tell us what you *do* eat

Ahhh, but I love everything Av hates.pete the ageing savage wrote:Man - how do you guys live! Av and Lorin - it would be faster to tell us what you *do* eat
As I get older I have a Silence of the Lambs thing going on in my head. When I was in my mid 20's I was living in Portugal and my landlord upstairs dispatched all his rabbits. They screamed. Then I saw the conditions that live stock in the US lived, pork and beef specifically and that was it for me. I wish I could move to vegetarianism but I haven't been able to make that transition. I still eat poultry and I still feed my dog beef.

So we have a 'Jack Spratt' situation going on here with you and Av then Lorin
Just to add - Savor Dam hit a spot with his 'raw egg white' comments. This makes me 'gip' if I eat it. Some peeps wolf eggs down raw - how do they do that! [Egg white, even cooked, aint on my list of likes.]

Oh you have no idea...the GF is a vegetarian...has been for longer than I've known her. Almost everything she eats, I don't. And vice versa, since what I mostly eat is meat.pete the ageing savage wrote:So we have a 'Jack Spratt' situation going on here with you and Av then Lorin
We prepare separate meals every day. (And believe me, that list was probably only scratching the surface.)
I love hard boiled eggs. Except I peel off the white and throw it away.I'm Murrin wrote: Hard boiled eggs, eaten on their own with maybe a little salt, are delicious.

My Puerto Rican friends put an egg in about 2 inches of corn oil and baste it while it's cooking.Menolly wrote:That's where basting an up fried egg comes in...I'm Murrin wrote:I never like it when I get runny egg white on a fried egg, for example, though I might still eat it if it's not too bad.

When I fry an egg, I splash the oil over it as it cooks. Something I picked up from my parents (though they used to use lard, not oil). Uncooked white I mostly see when getting food from BnBs, restaurants, and suchlike - probably from cooking lots of them quickly as possible.
Two inches sounds... excessive.

Liver and canned beets...ugh.
Not a fan of canned or frozen peas either.
