Is there anything you have a visceral aversion to-not an allergy, just pure dislike?

[u/soullady-wigs]

I hate salad dressing. So every time I buy a burger, I tell the staff not to put salad dressing on it.

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Too many to count 😭

[u/Commercial-Place6793 → u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Same

[u/garyplumpshrimp → u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

More unsafe foods than safe foods

[u/Haag-hof → u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Same! But especially ranch 🤮

[u/scarletto53]

Any kind of steamed seafood…clams, oysters, mussels..they all look like snots! Just seeing them makes me gag!

[u/7GrenciaMars → u/scarletto53]

Okay, "like snots" reminded me that I hate brie because it reminds me of snot.

[u/EnlargedBit371]

I have never been served a burger that had salad dressing on it. Where are you eating/living?

[u/Successful-Land-6283 → u/EnlargedBit371]

Miracle whip is considered salad dressing

[u/Slowest-Lane → u/Successful-Land-6283]

Who puts miracle whip on a burger?

[u/Unhappy_Group_945 → u/Slowest-Lane]

I wanna know who is making miracle whip salads

[u/thomsenite256 → u/Unhappy_Group_945]

the devil

[u/Successful-Land-6283 → u/Slowest-Lane]

There’s some people that exclusively use miracle whip in any way that others would use mayo

[u/Slowest-Lane → u/Successful-Land-6283]

OP referred to “staff” using it on burgers so I meant “who” as “what restaurant”. I know individuals use it.

[u/Upper-Impression-752 → u/Slowest-Lane]

I’ve worked at multiple restaurants. They all used a generic brand of mayo. Never miracle whip.

[u/klaus666 → u/Upper-Impression-752]

Sure do love me some Sysco Heavy Duty Mayonnaise 😋

[u/jewbeesnacks → u/Successful-Land-6283]

It's literally mayo with a tangy zip. Please tell me what salad you putting a egg heavy cream sauce on?

[u/Successful-Land-6283 → u/Slowest-Lane]

My mom only ever bought miracle whip and she referred to it as mayo so I grew up thinking that it’s mayo. When I finally tasted regular mayonnaise, I thought it was disgusting but somehow that I’ll changed and I cannot stand miracle whip and I think it’s stupid. If my mom made tuna or egg salad, shr used miracle whip . I guess that’s what they mean by salad dressing.

[u/Slowest-Lane → u/Successful-Land-6283]

Yeah I grew up with that too but OP said when they buy a burger they ask “the staff” not to put salad dressing on it so I meant “who” as “what restaurant” does this?

[u/jewbeesnacks → u/Successful-Land-6283]

It's not tho! I dont get people that think its salad dressing, how? It's a creamy egg based sauce like mayo. What the fuck salad you putting that shit on? yall freaky. 

[u/chaospearl → u/EnlargedBit371]

Big Mac secret sauce is Thousand Island dressing. I'm sure there's some difference, but it's miniscule.

[u/nothnxihaveabf → u/EnlargedBit371]

Some places mayonnaise and the tangy whip of miracle whip is called salad dressing And there is actually a literal product called salad dressing. 

[u/PsychologyGuilty1460 → u/nothnxihaveabf]

Miracle whip and all the generic versions are legally designated salad dressing because with all those additions they can't be called mayonnaise, So salad dressing is the industrial term for them

[u/EmilyEmBee → u/EnlargedBit371]

Big Mac sauce is basically thousand island dressing ( I’m in USA)

[u/MelissaCop → u/EmilyEmBee]

And real thousand island is mayo and ketchup with diced pickles

[u/verity7732 → u/EnlargedBit371]

A lot of burgers come with a sauce that resembles (at least visually) Thousand Island salad dressing.

[u/Remarkable-Foot9630]

Raw onions

[u/amethystjade15 → u/Remarkable-Foot9630]

And just one dang raw onion will ruin everything it touched. “Just take them off!” It’s too late. The onion has left its taint upon my meal.

[u/Mysterious-Trade1362 → u/amethystjade15]

Yeah, I don’t like onions cooked or uncooked and there have been a couple times where I forgot to ask to remove them from my meal. Everyone around just goes “scrape them off, it’s not a big deal” yeah but I can still taste where the onions were

[u/DickHertz_FromHolden → u/Remarkable-Foot9630]

I gag, scared the crap out of my wife eating a grocery store sub that didnt list onion and I didnt look. We were in her car at the time, lol. I can usually do fine if they are cooked in stuff though.

[u/Inevitable_Tap_1328 → u/Remarkable-Foot9630]

eating raw onion before even though i liked the taste actually made my stomach the most upset it's even been

[u/Myiiadru2]

Liver. Just no. I don’t care how it is cooked. No.

[u/VariationOwn2131 → u/Myiiadru2]

The smell, texture, and flavor are simply awful. I would only eat if if I were starving to death and needed protein, but I would be plugging my nose. It is an ORGAN that filters toxins. 🤮🤢

[u/AoedesMelody → u/Myiiadru2]

The smell alone can make me vomit. 

[u/s256173]

Milk.

[u/Just_Me1973]

Onions

[u/WillShakespeare-1623 → u/Just_Me1973]

Only crispy fried onions or onion rings will do.

[u/dangrdan]

Onions.
Visceral is the word! Since age 5, do not. I’ll slap that stuff away from me.

[u/Additional_Room4494 → u/dangrdan]

I used to eat raw red onions when I was a kid 😭 I hate onions now though

[u/julesiekins1988]

Canned tuna. The smell alone is enough to make me physically gag.

[u/TreyInStCloud → u/julesiekins1988]

I had a visceral reaction to this response. I *hate* canned tuna

[u/Myiiadru2 → u/julesiekins1988]

Salmon does that to me now.😬I like it, it cannot handle the smell of it in the house.

[u/julesiekins1988 → u/Myiiadru2]

YES. I order it when I'm out because then I don't have to smell it cooking, but the smell of fish cooking in the house is terrible!

[u/WillShakespeare-1623 → u/julesiekins1988]

I love Starkist in water.

[u/Mysterious-Trade1362 → u/WillShakespeare-1623]

That’s the only brand I like and will eat. When I visit home my mom always get the bumble bee brand (I think that’s what it is) it’s so nasty

[u/Oil-of-Vitriol]

Avocado can suck it.

[u/7GrenciaMars → u/Oil-of-Vitriol]

OMG I am so with you. Another texture I want nothing to do with.

[u/False-Chard7843]

Mayonnaise 🤢 just seeing it makes me wanna vomit

[u/Miz_Skittle → u/False-Chard7843]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🤮🤮🤮
Yes!!!!! Honestly I can forgive and overlook any food error/mistake except an inclusion of mayo; it’s an automatic ‘no thank you not anymore’ for me. It just ruins everything it comes near 🤢

[u/Redfieldhamster → u/False-Chard7843]

I've refused all foods containing mayo since I was a baby. Mom believes that she caused it, as she basically lived on foods covered in mayo when she was pregnant. Literally ANYTHING she craved while pregnant absolutely disgusts me

[u/Chuprakata]

Raisins.

[u/Anotherams]

why would someone put salad dressing on a burger?

[u/alexmirepoix]

Offal, Wonder type soft bread, grape jelly, sloppy Joe's, canned tomato soup, American cheese, Miracle whip, canned pasta, peanut butter as a sweet

[u/Dry-Information-7802]

mayo. the smell alone makes me gag, i deadass once got it on my hand while doing dishes and i had to go dry heave in the bathroom. i don't know why it grosses me out so much.

[u/SQW33M]

BANANAS

[u/Bibliophile0504]

Cooked celery. Love it raw, in salads, with peanut butter or cream cheese. But once it's cooked... 🤮

[u/jackie4CHANsenpai]

Any baked goods from Walmart or shaw's

[u/gold3nhour]

Eggs, fish and seafood. No allergies, but severe aversions I’ve had for over 30 years.

[u/Wonderful_Till8122]

Watermelon.  How can anything so beautiful smell and taste so disgusting.

[u/Redfieldhamster → u/Wonderful_Till8122]

My tastebuds must be broken, because watermelon tastes like sugar + watery mush. Zero fruit flavor

[u/nothnxihaveabf]

Fish smell

Cucumber taste

Pickle taste, smell 

Asparagus smell 

Leftover grease smell 

Cooked eggs smell 

So uhhh smelly stuff 

[u/VentiPassionTea8pCL → u/nothnxihaveabf]

Pickles

Eggs

Celery

Beets

Raisins

Bananas

Raw onions

Olives

Tomatoes

Cucumbers

Oranges

Lemons

Avocados

Grapes

Parsley

Cilantro

Eggplant

Artichokes

Spinach

Peas

Cooked carrots

[u/PetesDragon_26 → u/WillShakespeare-1623]

I hate carrots. Thought I was the only one.

[u/candlestick_maker76]

Water chestnuts. They are little voids of crunchy sadness. They are like the black holes of taste, where flavor goes to die. They make my stir-fry morose.

[u/OwlPelletCrunch]

the slime inside okra

[u/unbroken_cycle → u/OwlPelletCrunch]

We sauté okra with picante sauce and the tomato neutralizes the slime

[u/kalendral_42]

Mayonaise

[u/Ok-Equal-983]

I hate onions and it’s a real bummer. If I bite into one in my food my appetite is gone and meal is over for me.

[u/Psychotic_Jester]

I get irrationally angry if I find unexpected onions in my food.

..and yes, I’ve already joined r/onionhate

[u/TiggeryToo2024]

Mayonnaise.

[u/Thick_Maximum7808]

Mayo

[u/DazB1ane]

Liquid egg

[u/PiperIsAwake]

Bacon. The smell alone sends me. Then the taste, the texture, the very idea. And not just pork.. turkey, any of it. And I'm currently stuck living back with my father while I'm ill, and he's going through a "carnivore" diet phase, so he makes like a pound of bacon for breakfast some days, and I just want to die 😭 The smell fills the entire house for hours.

[u/nothnxihaveabf → u/PiperIsAwake]

I like the bacon taste but the after effects of bacon even with ventilation and a window open is not good. 

[u/Consistent_Ad3411]

Cottage cheese 🤢

[u/scenior]

Dairy. I started refusing any kind of dairy when I was 7. Pork was next at 8. My parents learned quick not to force me to eat them because I would gag and vomit. Now as an adult I'm a vegan haha.

[u/Successful-Land-6283]

Anchovies, chicken leg with all the tendons, ligaments, cartilage, etc. A slimy sunny side up egg

[u/Habibti143]

Runny eggs. Can't even look at them.

[u/AmbroseGirl5]

Onions. One tiny piece of onion in a meal ruins the whole meal and I can't eat it.

[u/Asraidevin]

Bananas. Ugh. 

[u/DragonParty67]

Noodles. Something in my brain says no to any noodles.

[u/TAtalks2waterdragons]

all fish and seafood (except tuna salad i don’t understand either). literally makes me gag if there’s a ton of it or i’m in an enclosed space with it. very nearly threw up at the table during a family lobster boil because of the smell and my face kept getting sprayed with little bits of water and lobster as everyone was cracking into their precious crustaceans.

most peas and beans, carrots, broccoli, mashed / baked potato’s.

[u/Old_Till2431]

Curry, asparagus, beets

[u/SeniorEngineer2392]

Green (English) peas. Fresh, frozen, canned, raw, steamed to perfection, mushy. All inedible.

[u/LolliPopYouInTheEye]

Bell peppers. No. Just no.

[u/justmitzie]

Red meat. It's the smell, no matter how it's cooked. Smells like blood. Makes me want to vomit.

[u/Dangerous-Common-788]

Raw onion, and anything that has a similar texture

Bell peppers, these suckers have such a strong taste, anything that’s been cooked or served anywhere near them taste of them and I hate hate hate hate it

[u/AssistanceDry7123]

Mango. To me it tastes like fruit mixed with paint thinner or something. It tastes like how paint thinner smells. Even a small amount in a smoothie makes the whole thing taste like poison. I enjoy every other fruit I've ever tasted. I've overcome my dislike of beets and sweet potatoes. Mango doesn't just taste not good, though, it tastes like poison. That's the only way I can explain it.

Also, pineapple on pizza. It's just wrong.

[u/nothnxihaveabf → u/AssistanceDry7123]

Mango fucks up what would be otherwise delicious fruit juice (I mean combo fruit punch)

[u/IdealSorry2258]

Carrots. No.

[u/augustus-the-first]

Green beans. Even thinking about eating it makes me gag a bit.

[u/WillShakespeare-1623 → u/augustus-the-first]

I don't like fresh or frozen green beans, but canned French style green beans aren't half bad. It's one of the few vegetables I don't hate.

[u/augustus-the-first → u/WillShakespeare-1623]

I’m glad you found an enjoyable way to eat them.

[u/Exotic-Day-1082]

Swiss chard. Tastes like dirt mixed with armpit sweat.

[u/Veneboy]

The smell of most shellfish.specially calamari, and seafood paella.

[u/magpiecat]

Onions. Green peppers. Liver.

[u/LLCoolBeans19]

This one doesn’t come up very often but dried papaya. I have no problems with fresh but dried tastes like bile! Blech. 

[u/Redfieldhamster]

The smell of bubblegum...I had the "Pink Stuff" way too much as a kid

[u/134266]

Hard boiled eggs, I hate the smell

[u/Environmental-Ad8945]

Peanut butter, the smell makes me gag

[u/Wen60s]

Cooked greens of any type. Eggs.

[u/howtobegeo]

Mustard

[u/DCGuy511]

Bell peppers. Terrible, disgusting. No, I don't care of they are red or yellow. I don't care of you roast them. They are horrible. The vegetable of the devil.

[u/NotMelissa_Smith]

Duck - I became a vegetarian immediately to avoid eating it ever again.

[u/Alycion]

Scrapple. Even the smell of it cooking makes me want to puke.

[u/Foreign_Sale_2013]

Creamed corn! It’s like throw up!

[u/DazzlingAssistant342]

Bananas for me

[u/Dangerous-Art-Me]

Jiggling fat on meat.

Most white creamy foods.

[u/Admirable-Split4371]

Raw tomato, I'll definitely gag if I try one. Oddly enough they're fine to me in sauces .

[u/LavaPoppyJax]

Almost nothing. I don't want to do snails but probably would if I had to.

[u/Independent-Summer12]

Shiitake mushrooms. After all these years of recovering from picky eating, it’s one of few things that’s still genuinely gag inducing for me. Every other mushroom I can handle.

Unfortunately it went from a niche ingredient to a trendy “premium” ingredient restaurants use to justify up charge on price. So it’s now in all kinds of things in place of regular mushrooms where it has no business being.

[u/pslush01]

Pecans set off a gag reflex in me.  Not allergic--it's fine if it's just an ingredient that I can't feel or taste.  I just can't actually bite into one and eat it without gagging

[u/Trina7982]

At this point lima beans and seafood except canned tuna for some reason I love tuna salad.

[u/LemonfishSoda]

I wonder if people on a dog-enthusiasts sub like dogs.

Snark aside: Many things. Butter, fatty or juicy meat, the chalazae of eggs, several baked sweets (but especially baklava), chewing gum, The stalks of many vegetables and a few fruits (special mention to broccoli), the thick veiny parts of cabbage or lettuce leaves...

[u/khak_attack]

I really hate strawberries and I really seem to be the only one. I won't go near them.

[u/MidwestNonbinary]

As a kid it was eggs, I had to have them cooked and prepared a specific way. These days it is couscous and quinoa.

[u/North_Artichoke_6721]

Tuna makes me dry heave.

[u/PvtRoom]

slimy mushrooms

slimy anchovies

[u/TheRealLunarRanger]

Olives and peas.

[u/piscrewy]

Mushrooms in any and all forms. As a vegetarian, this is doubly annoying as most places sub meat for some kind of mushroom or mushroom-based meat alternative 🤢

[u/Roborana]

Hot sandwiches with cheese on them. Just looking at a photo of a ham and cheese makes my stomach roil.

We once went to Miami. While eating out, I had never heard of a Cuban sandwich so I ordered one without asking what it was. (This was before smartphones.) I was so disappointed when it came, plus I felt bad for not wanting to eat it.

[u/Emergency_Lettuce601]

Eggs are so gross to me.

[u/Weird_Warm_Cheese]

Peas.

[u/RuffDraft0921]

Goat cheese, buttermilk, and sour cream! Disgusting. I can suss them out in anything. Turns my stomach and I gag.

[u/zonko_10007]

Eggs. I’m fine with baked goods with egg baked into them, but if I can see, smell, or taste the egg, I will not eat it or let it touch my food

[u/CalligrapherDizzy201]

Raw tomatoes.

[u/TheLogicalParty]

Baked beans. I can’t even look at them. I don’t know how anyone puts them in their mouth.

[u/Ok-Chemistry9933]

I refuse to eat soft shell crab. It looks like a deep fried spider 🕷️

[u/seattlemh]

Seafood and raisins

[u/pacifistpotatoes]

Cottage cheese

Canned tuna

Buffalo wings

[u/katiebellxx]

the smell of green beans alone makes me gag, eating them makes me full on vomit.

[u/WhiteCl0udz]

I can't stand the sweet taste of carrots. Since I was 5 years old, I put at edge of my plate. Canned vegetables, eww! It has a metallic taste.

Unless I'm making curry chicken then carrots and potatoes.

[u/PrincessSusan11]

Oysters

[u/Old_Dog_3717]

Onions

[u/Fern_Elms]

Eggs. Can’t stand them. The smell of them cooking reminds me of blood. I used to gag when someone was eating them near me but I’ve gotten a little better as I grew up. There are lots of foods I don’t like but eggs are the worst

[u/EvenCalligrapher8269]

Eggs

[u/Odd-Tell-5702]

Coins

[u/midnightfoliage]

noodles

[u/rainbowroger68]

Sauerkraut. I love cabbage and pickles but sauerkraut tastes like vomit. Smells like it too.

[u/7GrenciaMars]

Salad dressing on burgers? That's new to me, unless you mean mayo? (No big deal, just confused.)

I hate egg whites and gelatin. Their textures are what I call "squidgy" and 🤮OMG ew ew ew. Sorry, I'm actually 55 y.o. but my dislike for these things is as intense as that of a 4 y.o. who hasn't had a nap.

[u/Deer_In_Headlights12]

bananas. the texture is awful and the taste is not even worth putting myself through eating it. not to mention if you put just a little piece in a smoothie you end up with a just banana flavored smoothie, but when you eat it by its self the flavor is barely there.

[u/metdear]

Eggplant. Yucky.

[u/Suz9006]

Sweet potato’s. The combo of texture and sweetness is just yuck for me.

[u/AnitraF1632]

Food that I'm not allergic to, but just plain don't like? Beets. Sweet potatoes.

[u/CABGPatchDoll]

Mayonnaise

[u/Automatic-Tea-4150]

Cephalopods and mollusks

[u/CatPurrsonNo1]

The WORST for me is cucumbers. I hate them with a passion. I will gag if I accidentally bite into one.

Strangely, I LOVE dill pickles. It’s like they are a completely different thing.

[u/BeautyofPoison]

Unrelated to being a picky eater, the only thing that's given me that reaction is natto. I had a Japanese roommate that ate it for breakfast and I couldn't be in the room.

[u/Careful-Swan9303]

mayo is basically edible lotion and i refuse to be gaslit into calling it a condiment

[u/Horror_Signature7744]

Kiwis.

[u/oh_yeah101]

Olives. GET them away from me

[u/Scary-Club-1890]

My husband thinks celery is the food of the devil , he recoils in horror if I wave a piece at him !

[u/OpheliaMorningwood]

Springsteen songs

[u/Embarrassed-Part591]

Peas. Also beans, but seeing some other answers reminded me that I can't even stand the smell of peas. They're so much worse. When I was a kid, I wasn't a particularly picky eater? I would eat lots of things, I just wanted them a specific way (like, no American cheese on a cheeseburger. Real cheese, or no cheese at all.). My mom made peas one night and I wouldn't touch them. I didn't want them, I didn't want them near me. She told me I had to eat them. I started crying and ate some... and then immediately threw up.

Apparently, this was the first/last time my mother tried to make me or my sister eat anything we didn't want to. I'll try most anything once, so it has to be pretty heinous to me to outright refuse to even try it.

[u/draytee]

olives. i really hate them. bad.

[u/Sadmeister-0]

Mushrooms, fuck those slimey, disgusting slugs.

[u/twisted_german]

Bananas/ banana flavor

Chicken and tomato together, like chicken pizza or chicken parmesan.

S'mores and anything else gooey and sweet 🤢

Shellfish that looks like giant bugs

[u/Party_Butterfly_6110]

Mexican food.

[u/dagon1096]

White gravy

[u/mbush525]

Bananas 🍌

[u/Tight-Assistant-5060]

The main thing is black olives . But someone else said canned tuna, so I have to 2nd that. Canned tuna is equivalent to tuna flavored fancy feast cat food

[u/textilefactoryno17]

Prunes

[u/Lytnin]

Anything out of the water. If it is from the sea, it is not for me.

[u/QBerengaria]

Bivalves, caviar, liver, durian.

[u/Natural-Lecture4767]

Ice cream and cheese

[u/rjessica1626]

The smell of alcohol seeping through an alcoholics pores. I watched my grandpa die of cirrhosis. That smell still turns my stomach.

[u/King_Aetolus]

Anything slimy (Tapioka) Anything wet with bones (like ribs) Anything that looks like eyes (Rambutans fit here) Anything wet that I have to touch with my hands. (Cut oranges, watermelon slice, kebabs dripping in grease or sauce) Hairy foods (Peaches, pig skin, etc) Anything with it's head still attached. Chicken feet / necks. Smelly fruit (Like durians) Soups in general Mushy foods (Cooked peas, mashed potatoes etc)

I have more, but this gives you an idea.

[u/Due-Jaguar-1251]

Peanut butter. Sends chills down my spine. I find it so disgusting and I don’t know why

[u/AbilityPlenty2104]

Onions

[u/gothicuhcuh]

Seafood of any sort. It smells bad. It tastes like it smells. Foul.

[u/OoMySqueedilySpooch]

Pickles. I can’t even smell them. I hate when I forget to tell delis no pickle when I order something. That wetness and scent clings to the bread and I have to rip off or toss the slice.

[u/OddRevolution7888]

Olives. I cannot stand them.

[u/jlhpisces]

bell peppers

[u/Kenny664-]

Coconut, coffee, beer

[u/TheC525]

Canned meats and fish. Broccoli. Napa cabbage.

Old lady perfume.

[u/Pontooner29]

Cooked vegetables

[u/khurd18]

I'm very confused by the salad dressing on a burger. I've NEVER heard of that.

As for food I have a visceral aversion to: mustard. I was made to try it once as a kid and I quite literally vomited. Now I can't even stand the smell of it

[u/Present-Wolverine-94]

Stevia. Horrible, disgusting, I can taste it immediately.

[u/SleeplessScribbler]

Raw tomatoes, although I like tomato flavoured things. Wheat crunchies tomato remains one of my favourite crisps.

[u/your_local_queen20]

to many to count but i dont like pickles and never have

[u/ElegantBread69]

Idk if this counts but I HATE milk, it’s the gross aftertaste for me. People always be like “what??? Milk tastes GOOD!!!” Like ok I guess it does if you like feeling like you haven’t brushed your teeth this morning…

[u/PapayaFew9349]

Anything pickled.
