I hate those!
I am a general lover of food. I love to eat it, cook it. However I am not one of those foodies who will eat anything. There are some things that I just can't get over. I try. Really, I do. Here are the things I think I won't eat until I am old and grey.
1) Salmon- I have tried this more times than I care to count. I NEVER like it. It always tastes uber-fishy. Blech!
2) Egg Yolks- They are the sole reason I do not eat eggsalad. I would like to point out that not eating egg yolks does have a side benefit. I do not get all that bad cholesterol that are in eggs cause its all in the yolks, folks.
3) Raw Onion- I love cooked onions. My fave is the onion ring. If a raw onion is on my food I will pick it off. They are too strong for my palate. I just can't manage to get them down.
4) Beets- This is one of those gross foods from my childhood. I have gotten over most of them now but this one still gets me. I tried beets again at a fancy restaurant that makes everything good. I thought if they are good here, then they are good and I have been getting bad beets. They were bad at the said fancy restaurant.
5) Canned pasta products- I was the only kid I knew who didn't like Chef Boyaredee or Spaghetti-Os. I can't begin to verbalize how disgusting I think these products are. They are mushy and the sauce is like watered-down Heinz Ketchup. I think I would rather eat beets!

This is a very upsetting post, LL. Aside from the canned pasta (I eat it sometimes, but it is not my favorite), I seriously L-O-V-E love all those other things. Bagel and lox? So delicious. Egg salad or poached eggs? My favorite. Raw onion? A must for a hamburger. Beet salad? Love it.
Can our friendship survive? Hmm...
Now I know who to give the onion slice from my hamburger to. You really like beets? Ugh!
PS-I do eat eggs, I just usually do the whites (love a poached egg whites). Scrambled eggs are the only time I do yolks!
MXF- you and my dad are the only people I know who like beets! =)
I was reared on Spaghetti-Os. They are still an active part of my 37-yr-old brother's diet.
Ugh, I cannot even look at canned pasta without my stomach turning. It's just not right.
I agree with the other things on all counts- except the egg salad. Man, I love that stuff.
What's not to love about a beet? It's so sweet and is great with goat cheese and walnuts. If there is a beet salad on any menu, I will order it. There are so many other vegetables much more worthy of hate: Brussels sprouts; lima beans; peas...
mfx, here is a post idea for you: "In defense of the beet". I think it would be interesting to hear you sway people to try beets!
