Food that makes you retch

For those like me who can't stand to be in the same postcode as cucumber (or watermelon), rest assured it's actually a genetic thing. It's all to do with an organic substance called PTC, which either tastes/smells utterly disgusting or completely normal based on your own genetic makeup.

In defence of Parmesan, it smells awful but tastes great on other food. I always think of it like salt and pepper; you wouldn't eat it as-is, but you would certainly sprinkle it on your food.

apparently it's the same with coriander, you either get the floral lemony burst or you get cleaning solution.
 
Another vote for celery. I can smell it from upstairs if the other half is eating it in the front room.
Rough as hell (but she's good with the kids 😜)

Always put my chocolate powder in my oats to 'enhance' the taste. Biscuits brown did a fine job of bunging you up. Some elements of a 24hr RP were just about palatable, the beef one was ok as was the curry one

I like the "Orange Powder" [?!!].
Often speculated what that was, but I could yomp for days without stopping!

I distinguish between foods that make me vomit - prunes and brussel sprouts - and those that are just a waste of calories eating - broccoli, avocados and kale.

I don't eat meat of course, but all the other stuff mentioned just strikes me as a bit odd.

Exactly the same here, pescatarian through choice, but I’ll eat any snotty owld molusc. As for people not eating types of fruit and veg - uh??
 
40 years on I still can`t eat any meat with gristle in it.

Honourable mention to the jelly in a proper pork pie, just can`t bring myself to put it in my mouth and chew.
 
My son won't eat eggs, only eats cheese when it's melted and only likes fish in fish and chips, all other fish being "too fishy".:rolleyes: Tried him out with a 'delicious' anchovy recently, no dice. Where he gets it from I've no idea.

PS I'm writing this in part because he's worked out my username and is stalking me. HELP!
 
Sadly, mussells now.

Loved them until a month ago, had a bad batch and now the taste makes me sick.
 
Never knew there was such hatred for the cucumber. As our mam would say there's nothing to dislike about it. Even if you are some weird genetic cucumber hating mutant.
 
Oh and pre grated parmesan does indeed smell and taste like puke. Freshly grated parmesan is delicious. I spent my whole childhood eating spag bol in a different room to my parents as my dad would sprinkle all that pre grated stuff on. I'm pretty sure it's not parmesan at all, and is just dehydrated vomit.
