I have learned a lot of important things about food from you ladies. I want to know what you don't eat, and why.


I don't eat watermelon from Hermiston, OR. It's the acres of underground bunkers holding the radioactive waste that is a turn off.

I don't eat Mc Donalds, because I think it tastes bad.

Raw tomatoes and melon of any kind.

I'm game for just about anything else. At least once! :)

I can't have any spicy food.

Also I get a bad allergic reaction with spicy food within 10 minutes.

This is quite the interesting topic :)

I don't eat:

~Liver and other organ meats. Eeew! I have tried ostrich, venison, chukkar and pheasant and like them. I am willing to try MOST things but draw the line there.
~Tofu. I have tried it cooked different ways and would gladly do without (okay with the exception of Tofutti Cuties in the freezer section, those are good!)
~Anything with preservatives, artificial coloring and flavoring I try to stay away from. Maybe on occasion I might have something.
~Okra. The texture, I cannot get past sliminess!
~Raw fish or meat. I just don't like the idea of uncooked fish or meat it scares me.
~Pork Rinds. My husband loves them and thank God he only gets them once a year. The smell gets to me.
~Fast Food. It really upsets my tummy and even the chain restaurants (like Olive Garden or Chilis) do.

For the most part I will try just about anything. I love to experiment and try new things but will not try the majority of things on Bizarre Foods. :)

AJ, I too avoid anything from Mexico (saw a show on what they use to fertilize). I can't eat fresh water fish (allergic) but anything swimming in the ocean is fine. Okra is out and I used to gag on olives but I'm learning to tolerate them. I try to pass on anything that is smoked (unless it's a true bbq). Smoke doesn't agree with my system. I'm trying to avoid HFCS and processed foods but dang! they are everywhere!

Tofu is delicious deep fried, of course a #2 pencil is delicious deep fried.

Lisa, I looooove caviar...especially on a special Crab Louis on a cracker. Mmmmmm. But what I WON'T eat is raw oysters!!!! Ewwwwwwwwwwwww. I love them fried, or in stew or oysters bieville or oysters rockefeller, but good grief, cook the things. I won't eat any meat raw. Just disgusting. Everything else, except canned peas, I'll eat and smile.

I don't like veal, or venison, or moose or elk or duck (yuck). Brussel sprouts are out. I won't eat cooked peas but I love them raw (same or carrots) Love cooked peppers but won't eat them raw.
Not a big fan of pork. I am getting sick of chicken. I do love seafood - salmon, clams, mussels , tilapia, flounder, crab, lobster....but it has to be cooked...nothing raw.
I haven't met a fruit I didn't like but there are plenty of vegetables that I could do without/ Love tomatoes ..in any form. Soy beans, tofu yuck. Whole milk yuck skim m ilk yum.
This has got me thinking...good topic...

OK, I can't eat venison... blech! Elk or moose are the best and I can eat lots of either. The only seafood I eat is bbq'd steelhead or mackinaw. No shrimp or tuna for me! A bbq'd elk burger...heavenly! esp when paired with garden lettuce,tomato and onion. The best!

I am horribly allergic to soy or soy products, so we do a lot of home cooking and rarely eat out.

oh tammy! One of my favorite smells is tomatoes. I love the smell of the plants when I am picking the fruit. Even love that it rubs off on my hands.

I don't eat raw tomatoes, cannot even stand the smell of them, but I will eat spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, and cook with tomato juice.

I do not like any melon except watermelon.

I cant stand fish/seafood, except for canned tuna.

It's the popping that I LOVE about caviar...I adore it in the traditional Russian style.. on toast points with shredded hard boiled egg & creme fraiche...

Oh, Jonni! Figs are so good, especially the big black mission figs. I'm so sorry you don't eat them. Could you think of them as the biggest and best raisins ever?

I don't eat meat (but I kinda wish I did--change may be coming on that front).

Not crazy about brussels sprouts, but I really can't think of any (non-meat) food that repulses me or that I categorically avoid. It's all about the preparation.

Phew, thanks for making me feel better about my spaghetti neurosis Annete! lol

I forgot to mention stuff like tripe, heart, liver, tongue, brains and whatnot, I kind of figured nobody really ate that stuff! LOL I also won't eat chicken necks and backs or fried pork fat. Long story short, my bachelor dad was really really cheap. Jointed chicken thighs don't look good to me for the same reason. Too much of it at one point. I think I lost 5 lbs every time I visited him because he never had anything worth eating.

I dont eat pork, veal, KFC, Burger King, or anything from south america. I only eat french fries from McDonalds (cant help it).
I try to eat a organic as I can. So I eat most of what I grow in my garden and freeze and can it.
My neighbor has chickens and we get eggs from her. And anything that doesnt look inviting or smells nasty..

No beef for me. I don't like fish much. Stay away from a lot of "white" foods - bread, rice, flour-rich items.

I do love veggies and Healthy Choice frozen fudge bars. Can't live without steel cut oatmeal!!

Nothing too weird.

Watermelon. Or any other melon. Don't like them. I know. I'm weird.

I don't eat anything that has high fructose corn syrup in it. I also don't eat anything that has partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in it.
Annika Posted - Sep 17 2011 : 1:35:32 PM
No fast or overly processed food
No commercially grown meat because I hate the way that they treat the animals.I hate grocery store produce too because it is so flavorless
I don't like to eat pork because I am too fond of pigs
Okra makes me gag
Caviar makes me break out in hives
Allergic to the enzymes in papaya
Cant stand mutton, lamb or goat
Nothing icky like tripe, sweetbreads, tongue or brains, no frog legs
And I don't care how nutritious scientists say they are I'm not eating bugs!

I love all fruits, nuts and grains, I love most game birds and animals if they are cooked well, I'm always adventurous enough to try anything foreign or really different as long as it doesn't contain anything from the list above. I adore seafood, but hubby detests anything from the sea Sometimes I buy seafood anyway just to watch him make all of these grossed out faces

I don't eat meat that I don't know where it came from.

I don't eat tapioca, or Cream of Wheat-it's a texture thing.

I don't eat KFC-I HATE the smell.

Starbucks and sushi to green fried tomatoes and corn pudding-I wouldn't change it for the world.

I won't eat McDonald's, because they import their beef from South America, where they get away with using all kinds of chemicals and hormones on their cows that we're not even allowed to use in the US.

I don't eat peas. I just think they're gross. And I can't eat fried, scrambled, or poached eggs.

I also do not like blackberries. Unless it's in blackberry jam cake. Which I love. Weird, I know.

I am not a picky eater but somethings like cooked turnips or beets never pass these lips.....
I adore fresh tomatoes but for some reason don't care that much for tomato sauces of any kind...but will make spagetti sauce occasionally cause hubby loves it.
Used to love fish but after spending time in Ghana West Africa & smelling 1000's of pounds of it drying on the beaches can't cook it or eat it...but still love shrimp ect.
Refuse to eat at KFC after seeing what the chickens went thur in India that KFC uses.....so sad & broke my heart
Veal...can't stand to know I support that treatment just for meat.
Never have liked store bought milk but will drink gallons of it if its raw.
I eat very little meat but love vegs & fruits...potatoes are my BEST friend....Michele'
