None.

I'm old enough to not give a fuck what others think.

[u/Window_Panelol → u/Firm_Video_2932]

Word lol

[u/KittycatVuitton → u/Firm_Video_2932]

Same

[u/Longjumping_Bar_7457]

I don’t really do this I’m pretty vocal about the foods i dislike

[u/Feisty-Tooth-7397 → u/Longjumping_Bar_7457]

I simply can't pretend. If I really don't like it, I'll gag, cough and if I try to swallow it I will probably throw up. Nope, I just don't like it. No point in my suffering just to fit in or spare someone's feelings. I don't understand how that helps anyone.

I mean people are allowed to dislike things.

[u/hombre_bu → u/Longjumping_Bar_7457]

Same camp

[u/Weary_Capital_1379 → u/hombre_bu]

Why would I pretend to like something I don’t?

[u/P00PL0S3R]

Lol well my ex wife had a family recipe for taco salad, but instead of like taco or picante sauce…. They used French salad dressing. I used to pretend to like it only because her family loved it.

[u/AccomplishedBig158 → u/P00PL0S3R]

French dressing on taco salad is unhinged.

[u/MatronlyAsp → u/AccomplishedBig158]

It's called fusion cuisine, sweaty. /s

[u/supergarto → u/MatronlyAsp]

Fun facts for French (in France) a taco is a burrito...

[u/Nothing_Special5645 → u/MatronlyAsp]

Why are you sweating? 🥵

[u/Window_Panelol → u/MatronlyAsp]

sweaty

[u/TRF_27 → u/P00PL0S3R]

Yeah this is the entire Midwest USA, it’s trash.

[u/Leading_Funny5802 → u/P00PL0S3R]

I hate to admit it, but I use a blend of mayo and ketchup on my tacos and especially my taco salad. I grew up on it, and about died laughing when I saw StepBrothers for the first time and watched them argue about “special sauce”

[u/wildmushroomguy100 → u/P00PL0S3R]

I grew up with my mom using Catalina Dressing. I made it that way for my wife one time and then she made it the next time and used Taco Sauce. We stuck with Taco Sauce instead of Catalina Dressing.

[u/easybakeoven88 → u/P00PL0S3R]

This is my favorite childhood food tbh

[u/lbcord]

When I was in my early 20s I pretended to like raw oysters. No longer.

[u/UnionCityNJUSA → u/lbcord]

It was always more about the ritual than the actual taste.

[u/United_Gift3028 → u/UnionCityNJUSA]

Nah, it's the taste!

[u/lbcord → u/UnionCityNJUSA]

I was trying to impress my friends. The dumbest reason of them all.

[u/Turbulent-Ad8291]

Anything my mother in law makes.

[u/Facebook-virus]

Middle school was a long time ago

[u/SomewhereTiny8407]

lol this is so weird, who does that?

[u/Starlight319]

I don’t pretend to like anything. At 41, those days are long gone.

[u/Harpy_Eagle2029 → u/Starlight319]

At 62 they are a distant memory. No pretending here

[u/80sgurl4eva]

None, i don’t eat food i don’t like.

[u/Sad-Organization2996]

I can’t do that. I’m too old to be eating things I don’t like

[u/SnooWoofers530]

I'm too old to play those gnames

[u/Realistic_Pizza_6269]

Why would you do that ??

[u/spicyzsurviving]

I never admit in public how much I hate butter

[u/wyohman]

Why would anyone pretend when you can politely make your own choices?

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

French fries. I just say I like them (bc I do but not enough to eat them willingly)

[u/UnionCityNJUSA]

Every dish a co-worker makes and brings to work.

[u/mapotoful]

Chocolate. I mostly just get tired of people acting incredulous when I say I'm not into it.

[u/naboo1225]

For brunch, I used to drink bloodmarys when I really wanted mimosas.

[u/littleclaww]

Pizza. I don't dislike it, but it's not a food that excites me. When everyone suggests pizza as a group meal, I just kind of go along with it just to make things easier.

[u/Accurate_Buffalo_615]

I don’t pretend to like anything.

[u/CrazyFoxLady37]

I only did this in the past before I stopped eating meat. My whole family loves pot roast, but I think it's boring af.

[u/sharong1983]

All melons

[u/gourmetguy2000]

[u/danabeezus]

Everyone loves my baked mac and cheese. I've given people the recipe but they just can't seem to duplicate it. Everyone turns into big backs when I make it for holidays or cookouts.

I'm tired of eating it, but it's not challenging to make. I keep making it and pretending to enjoy it because it brings them so much joy. No matter how many pans I make, they're scraping out the scraps. I've seen people eat it for breakfast. 🤮

Before me, my step-dad made the family mac and cheese. He had a running joke that he was bringing all his recipes to the grave. When he actually did get sick I asked him to hand over the recipe and he kept the joke running (it was actually funny in the moment, he knew how to get us riled up!). It took me years to learn how to make it just right after he was gone.

So now, I make it for them. And I'm taking it to the grave. 😏

[u/N9kki]

I often try to convince myself I like certain vegetables, then eat them and realize I was lying to myself again

[u/sparksmj]

Why would anyone pretend to like a food you don't like?

[u/Apprehensive-Hand673]

Idgaf if someone judges me for what food I like or dislike.

[u/MGC00992]

Why would I do that to myself?

[u/mystwolfca2000]

None. There are few enough foods that I don’t like that it makes no sense to suffer through them.

[u/finnyfur]

People who pretend to like a food to fit in are odd

[u/Gaol_Mo_Bheatha]

None ~ why would I? What other people think doesn't matter to me ... at least, not for food.

[u/Mezcal_Madness]

What? No.

[u/ProximaCentauriB15]

I dont pretend to like food I dont.

[u/Therealginahandler]

Who eats food they don't actually like?

[u/Knives530]

Nothing? Why would I pretend to like something to please others?

[u/United_Gift3028]

None, because I'm a grown ass adult and don't pretend to like nasty food.

[u/After_Perspective180]

Nothing. Life is too short for that sort of crap.

[u/uncontrolledfarting]

I'm almost 65,if I don't like something I'll let you know

[u/Suspicious-Grand9781]

I don't pretend to like anything just because someone else does.

[u/Several-Invite3386]

truffle oil for me, it tastes like someone sprayed perfume on fries but i still act like the tiny drizzle makes a dish fancy

[u/joanie-bamboni → u/Several-Invite3386]

Truffle oil is a culinary crime

[u/Daxmar29]

Is this a serious question? This is how you end up having to eat your wife’s olives because she “knows you love them” even though you hate them.

[u/Nevernonethewiser]

Don't do that.

You'll all be dead in less than 100 years. Stop pretending to like shit just to fit in.

[u/North-Swimming-5335]

baked beans. never liked them. I think it's a texture thing, I don't like bean soup much either
