Ten on Tuesday

10 Least Liked Foods  

1.    Lima Beans - It's a texture thing
2.    Beets
3.    Creamed corn - I think this is a visual thing since I like corn but not when it looks like someone has already eaten it. 
4.    Sushi 
5.    Black Licorice -  YUCK!
6.    Cilantro - Tastes like soap to me.  I once mistook this for flat leaf parsley and made spaghetti sauce with it.  I kept thinking I must not have rinsed out the pot well enough because it tasted like soap.  Then I noticed the tag on the leftover "parsley".  Needless to say, that pot of sauce was thrown out!
7.    Soy milk - I've really tried to like this because I know it's good for me; just can't do it.
8.    Sardines - I have to admit that I've never actually tried sardines; I just know I hate them by the nasty smell!
9.    Liver - Another texture thing.
10.  Raw Clams (or oysters) - Again with the texture - this one is just plain disgusting!

 

This was a very difficult list for me since I really do enjoy my food!

I like so many things on your list, but I'm not fond of lima beans, creamed corn (any corn) and liver.

[Mel]

I never liked the big lima beans they'd serve with school lunches, but I was brought up on butterbeans and butterpeas - basically baby limas - and absolutely love those. In fact, I'm trying out butterpeas in my garden this year because I miss them so much.

Chinese discy things

[Kathy]

I have some of the same ones on my list! Kind of fun to do this Ten on Tuesday!

Any fish -

***shudders****

[Chris]

How about non-raw sushi?

[Karen]

I won't eat organ meat of any kind. Ever. Much like you with the soy milk, I really wanted to like hummus. I really did but the texture makes my skin crawl. One more thing: anything raw from the sea. I have a hard enough time eating those things cooked.

[Valerie in San Diego]

I like or will tolerate most of the things on your list, but I don't like:

1) ham
2) button mushrooms
3) jicama (though I will eat it)
4) frog's legs (to me they taste like fishy rubber)
5) cooked salmon (though I will also eat this)

I love sushi though.. I'll eat your share. Also the liver. And the beets (yum) and cilantro. Though all those things together would make a rather strange meal.

We share that lima bean thing!!!

[Zonda]

Hehe..I'm with you on 5, 7, 8 and 9 and kinda 10 ;) it's been a while for clams, but love the oysters! Counting down the days until some fresh lobster and clams and hotdogs and doughnuts..and..and..

[Sheepish Annie]

Everything on your list is something I hate. Except for soy milk. I like the chocolate kind.

I also hate Spam. I even hate saying it. Spam...gah!!!

[colleen]

mushrooms. any kind. its a texture thing....
and I remember the time my Mom made liver and made all 3 kids sit a the table till our portion was gone.... I'm gagging just thinking about it.

try soysilk brand. especially light chocolate soysilk. tates like Yoo-Hoo. swear to God.

[Lisa]

Wow, we dislike a lot of the same things. I would substitute brussel sprouts for the cilantro, because I like cilantro in Mexican food. I hate all those other things. GAG!

[Gina aka SleepyEyes]

I agree with all of your list except for 3 and 6. My least favorite foods (excluding the ones on your list) are:

1. Mushrooms
2. Any kind of seafood apart from canned tuna
3. Oatmeal (tried it many, many times but cannot swallow it)
4. Grits
5. Gamey meat - including lamb, deer, rabbit and other animals like that.

Great post, Julie!

[Hillary]

Ditto on the cilantro. I know a lot of people who count it as a favorite and I don't get it at all because it tastes like soap to me too. Ick!
