    I've been spending the last month and a half or more typing up my FMIL's recipes that she's collected over the last 60 years. You'd think I'd be sick of food, but honestly I'm just excited to try out a bunch of these recipes. My favorite so far is the Double Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake. So what's your fav food ladies? Least fav? The ickiest one I've found so far is a Jell-O recipe that uses fruit, jell-o, and mayo amongst other things.

    anything with meat...since I'm a vegetarian ;)

    I really don't like pizza!  I don't know why but I can't stand it.

    I really love pickles.  I don't know why, it's weird.

    Ditto whfields... anything with meat is automatically out, since I'm a vegetarian. 

    I also have a weird aversion to onions, so if there's a recipe where onions really can't be omitted, I would skip it. 

    Sour kraut... ew. Anything with coconut I hate! And I really don't like donuts.

    I can't stand fresh tomatoes. And cherry tomatoes are the worst offenders. I also can't eat escargot (texture thing), rarely eat calamari (I JUST KNOW WHAT THE RINGS ARE! And i definitely can't eat the tentacles...) and cannot cannot stand raw anything. I will eat things rare, but not raw. Oh, and if I know Crisco or lard (or velveeta) has been used in anything, I gag automatically... and can't eat it. UGHHHH.

    I'm kind of odd, I know.

    I hate tomato too! I hated it that bad that I avoided it for years... and then decided to have one, one day just to see if i changed my mind.. and came out with an allergic reaction! so now i have no choice but to avoid it..But i dont mind.. I still hated them.

    I cant stand deep fried fish, or much fish in general.*shrugs* but i still like seafood, like oysters, squid, mussels n stuff. :)

    I don't like liver or sweetbreads, but my fiance loves them. I used to hate brussel sprouts, until I started cooking them myself :) I roast them in the oven with olive oil until they're crispy, way better than steaming!

    Saurkraut. Seriously. SERIOUSLY what is UP with that stuff? It is so foul it makes me ache. And smoked fish- it makes me gag.

    Both of those things are Mr. KM's FAVORITE foods. Go figure.

    I love sweet potatoe fries without anything to go with them. I had a full plate of them for dinner tonight even.

    My least favorite, probably beets...I was tramautized at a young age by them and simply can't stand them now...probably also the reason I can't stand the color purple haha!

    Green beans, asparagus, tomatoes, mushrooms and any fruit except apples. I also don't eat pork or fish (but I LOVE seafood. I will tear up some crab legs).

    I love sushi, pizza, pastas, chocolate, baked goods, etc. lol. Oh, and broccoli, I love me some brocolli.

    I love basically everything.  I just really really love food.  Especially baked goods and briny olives and pickles.  There is only one thing that is like poison to me.

    I passionately, and wholeheartedly loathe, despise, and hate...cilantro.  Even the smallest amount makes me gag.  And I can always taste even the smallest amount.  Yuck.  Whenever I see recipes that call for cilantro (and it's so often some obscene amount like 1/3 cup) I throw-up a little in my mouth.  Other than that though, I'm a fan of everything! : )

    I hate deep-fried food, buffalo wings, bleu cheese (gag), and orange juice (not technically a food but oh well).

    I love basically any type of carb with any sort of melter cheese on it. I'm not picky--carbs+cheese=deliciousness. And I love random veggies that no one else seems to like--kale, swiss chard, beets, turnips, asparagus, arugula, spinach...

    I LOVE all dairy and Orange Juice... Those are hard to live without even though I am lactose intollerant.

    As for things I don't like...Seafood. I can eat it if the fish is breaded or battered or the canned tuna, otherwise it is not going in my mouth. It isn't one of those cases where I do like seafood because of what it is. It's a case where I have tried many fish, crab, shrimp, etc. and just cannot get past the texture. Yuck!

    @MissParis - I hate black licorice too!

    I don't like onions, mushrooms, kiwi, sprouts, or cauliflower. 

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE coffee,frozen yogurt, almonds, tea, homemade mac-n-cheese with broccoli, my FI's tofu parmesan (seriously the best ever) and almost anything else he cooks.

    Love me some sushi and seafood, I could live off it.  No coconut, mushrooms or sweet potatoes cuz I'm allergic. It works cuz hubs doesn't like those things anyway

    Things that I generally don't eat or even keep in the house:

    • Mushrooms
    • Pasta
    • Soup
    • Gravy
    • Mayo

    I think that's it.  Maybe?  I have the weirdest set of dislikes, and no one understands how I live.  Easy, I eat all of their brussels sprouts and beets and peas and other crazy things.  And lima beans!

    Eggs! WILL NOT eat them. Have never since I was little. My mom always tells people a story about when I was about 2 she ordered me french toast at a restaurant and I KNEW there were eggs in it and wouldn't touch it. People always told me I'd like them when I was older but I still dont. Even the smell makes me sick.

    I will eat almost anything. The exceptions are:

    • Mushrooms. I can eat them raw in a salad, but I don't like them cooked.
    • Pickles. Any kind.
    • Dill
    • Yellow mustard (I've recently come around to brown mustard. I still don't love it, but I can tolerate it.
    • Artificial raspberry flavor. I like fresh raspberries but raspberry flavored candies, liqueur, or anything like that makes me gag.

    @ejs4y8:  Ack!  I don't care for chicken n dumplings or mac & cheese, or a lot of other "comfort" foods, but somehow they end up taken care of in my list.  Usually they're way too greasy.

    @danadelphia:  I don't care for raspberry flavoring either.  There's something odd about it.  BF got me raspberry chocolates for angry-pink-heart-day and I felt kinda bad, but they turned out to be tastier than I expected.  Maybe it's because BF gave them to me.  I don't like banana or pineapple flavoring either.

    oh man I'm a SUPER picky eater so the list of things I don't eat is far far longer than the list of things I do... but I'd say the worst can't-put-it-in-your-mouth-without-gagging foods for me are seafood (any kind), non-breakfast pork, or lamb. I have a really hard time with meats, clearly. 

    List of my most favorite foods: tomatoes (raw, cooked, whole, pureed, in any form except ketchup), pickles (dill), chicken fingers, chimichanga, mexican cheese dip. mm

    I cannot stand peanut butter - it is a textural thing more than a flavor thing. I also hate nutella. I don't like coffee with hazelnuts. And brussel sprouts are horrid.

     

    I love CHEESE - cheddar, goat, blue(s), havarti, cream cheese, ricotta, and all other types of cheese :)

    I don't like nuts of any kind, and I'm not that into cheese (except melted american - MUST be melted).  I hate coconut, black licorice/anise and anything chocolate-flavored (like chocolate ice cream, chocolate pudding, chocolate cake - but I like straight up chocolate.  A LOT)

    Favs include corn (especially corn-on-the-cob, we're even having it at the wedding!!), peas, beets (Fi made me an entire meal of beets from apps to beet ice cream for dessert for my bday one year!), tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms (I'm not vegetarian but do have a mainly vegetarian diet...prolly around 75%), strawberries, imitation crab meat (love the real deal, too, but for some reason I like the fake stuff more), shrimp, my aunt's homemade fuuuudge, ...I could go on for awhile.  I really like to eat!!

    I'm not a picky eater, but there are a couple things I absolutely do not like.

    -Multi grain bread.  Eww.  I know it's better for you than other types of bread, but it tastes disgusting to me.

    -Capers

    -Any meat except seafood

    I hate seafood.  Can't handle it....thinking about it kind of grosses me out.  EXCEPT: Every once in a while I get a weird craving for sushi--usually tuna.  I know, I'm a freak.  My absolute favorite meal is steak, Irish cheddar mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus.  MMMMMMM....now I'm hungry.  And it's only 9:30.

    @missparis - I usually just substitute and/or leave out the onions! Most recipes are fine without them... risotto, stuffing, etc. It doesn't make a huge difference, sometimes you just need to add a bit more flavor from somewhere else. :)

    Some of my favorite things:

    Real NY style pizza
    Seafood (mmm, crab cakes!)
    High quality, dry-aged steak
    I'm a HUGE veggie burger fan. If it's on the menu somewhere, I have to try it.
    Fruit pies.

    Things I hate:

    Tofu. Makes me gag.
    Most other meats. Ham? Yuck! Sausage. Ick. Even chicken makes me squirm.
    Peppers. Dunno why, just don't like 'em.
    Peas.
    Runny eggs. They gotta be solid-ish, like scrambled.

    Here is my insanely long list of foods that make me gag:

    seafood, ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc., mashed potatoes, pickles, olives, cooked vegetables (love raw though), cream sauces, stews or "hearty" soups, pork, coffee, gravy, american cheese (or velveeta), and so much more I can't even think of.

    What I do love: chicken, turkey, all fruits, bread!, yogurt, ice cream, peanut butter, eggs :)

    Oh, and don't even think about mixing my foods together, everything must be seperate on my plate (but I won't flip if things are touching) :p
