What food can you absolutely not stand?

[agrippamaxentius]

 For me "Mushrooms" and "Eggplant" are equally awful in terms of texture, otherwise I have a pretty wide palate. I also can't stand liver "pate" although being Portuguese I could eat Sardine Pate all day, yes you heard that right... Sardine Pate. Delicious.

I skip liver (about the only meat I won't eat)

I can't stand the taste of cucumbers, cauliflower, or asparagus.  I don't mind smaller tomatoes, like grape or roma, but I can't stand the texture/sliminess of the huge beefsteak tomatoes that restaurants like to put on their hamburgers.

Onions. Despise them utterly. Have a hard time eating anything with even a hint of onion. Been like that since I was a kid.

I'll eat pretty much any other veggie, but onions make me wretch.

I'm with Brant on tomatoes.  I hate anything phlegmy.  Raw tomatoes, runny eggs, okra, oysters, sea urchin, natto etc.  They all make me queasy.   

I'll try just about anything once though.  I've been served some rather unusual and unpleasant dishes in my travels but there have only been a few that I just couldn't bring myself to try.  I've eaten different insects but I just couldn't stomach the idea of biting into a pus-filled fried tarantula in Cambodia.



I also couldn't do shirako in Japan.  It's basically a bowl of fish sperm and jizz sacs.




I also really don't care for tripe at all.  Not a fan of most sweet meats.  If I have to eat organs and intestine lining, I'd prefer that it be in a sausage.

Cucumber is 100% nasty!

Hhhmmm, my culinary dislikes would include liver, brains, mushrooms, brussel sprouts, squash, most seafood (exceptions would be tuna and shrimp).

^Now that looks like something Martok could stomach  >:D

Beetroot makes me want to chuck.

Bananas and Campari - not necessarily together

And I don't fancy those duck chicks still in their eggs you can get

Good god that looks awful! I also am not a fan of "Tripe" being half Portuguese its pretty popular in Portugal but I won't go near the stuff. The smell alone makes me sick.

I'm so surprised by all the people who dislike cucumbers, to me it's like the most tasteless veggie possible. Is it the texture of the seeds or the flavor itself?

For me it is the taste.

[DoctorQuest]

I like most veggies with the exception of brussel sprouts.

I am not big on animal organs of any kind but bring on the ribs, loins, etc.

I like most seafood but I will usually pass on oysters. Crab and shrimp are at the top of the list.

I'll take everyone else's cucumbers if you don't want them.

[Atilla60]

Celery!
Any way, shape or form, I just hate it

[Staggerwing]

I loath the nasty Cherry flavoring that is used in candy and cough syrup. Also Maraschino Cherries.

I'm not a fan of Broccoli, Cauliflower, or pickles either, though I'd eat them long before anything with that nasty industrial cherry product flavor.

But you need Maraschino cherries to make a Manhattan!  ;D
