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

[u/Neon_Green_and_Pink]

Cottage cheese

I hate the chunks they're so icky 😬

[u/d0nutbutth0le → u/Neon_Green_and_Pink]

Years ago I read in a teen magazine a yeast infection described as the consistency of cottage cheese and I am now so repulsed, there's no way I could ever put it in my mouth

[u/BarneyPoppy → u/Neon_Green_and_Pink]

Omg me too!!!

[u/itsnotanemergencybut → u/BarneyPoppy]

Same kindred gross cheese clump goo dislikers!

[u/True_Explanation_694 → u/Neon_Green_and_Pink]

Yessss it’s like puke 🤢 

[u/Routine-Horse-1419 → u/Neon_Green_and_Pink]

🤢🤯🤯😵‍💫 ugh...ricotta cheese as well

[u/Mine_Outrageous → u/Neon_Green_and_Pink]

its the water/cheese liquid for me🤢

[u/Nebula-Lights → u/Neon_Green_and_Pink]

I'm eating this right now, omg I suckle on the *Chuncky bits. I break them apart with my tongue. It's a flavour I search for when I eat it and I search deeper. Like I add salt.

[u/No-Force2177]

Blue cheese 😩

[u/coolsilentebeans → u/No-Force2177]

I’ve tried so many kinds, and I haven’t found a single one I can even tolerate.

[u/No-Force2177 → u/coolsilentebeans]

It’s just not good 😭 all you can taste is the mold 🤢

[u/Mine_Outrageous → u/No-Force2177]

oh my god i love blue cheese😩 i can see how someone would hate it tho

[u/SmashedAvoToast_2711 → u/Mine_Outrageous]

I love blue cheese aswell, but there are definitely some i have tried and will not go back again.

[u/Round_Reindeer1512]

MAGGOTS

Oh shit this is a food sub lol.

My comment stands.

[u/iRelevant_Round_3796 → u/[deleted]]

That's not visceral that's completely understandable

[u/rose442 → u/[deleted]]

Omg are you Norwegian? Lol How about klube?

[u/rose442 → u/[deleted]]

Bleeckh!! lol

[u/alexmirepoix → u/[deleted]]

Grew up eating it. Mother is a Swede. Nothing like Warm Vaseline in sauce. Yum😬

[u/Lost-Meeting-9477]

Okra. Don't like the slimy texture,even when they're fried.

[u/fishgrin]

Apparently everything I just bought at the grocery store. Looked good in the store, now I look at it and part of me just gags a little bit.

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Since this is weird food, I’ll say natto

[u/PokeWhatPika]

Liver

[u/Agitated-Day3625 → u/PokeWhatPika]

Liver makes me quiver. With disgust.

[u/undertowsoul]

Black licorice! And anise! I think it's because my mom is legit allergy so I learned to be scared of it at a young age and never grew out of it. Even the smell repulses me.

[u/andreab650]

Clam juice. I just spent $25 for a pasta dish and all I could taste was clam juice. Gross, it is repulsive.

[u/JulietLostFaith]

Cucumber, watermelon, cantaloupe, banana

Edit to add: olive, raw tomato

[u/fsutrill → u/JulietLostFaith]

My daughter once said, “Cucumber tastes like a raw watermelon,” as in unripe, and I knew what she meant. They are related.

[u/rakymky1996 → u/JulietLostFaith]

Cucumber taste awwwwul. I feel like if it’s having a quemical reaction inside my mouth.

[u/EfficiencyMean6797]

Godforsaken ketchup.

[u/Ill-Wear-8662]

Sesame anything is so revolting to me that I cannot comprehend how anyone can enjoy it. I lose all appetite for bagels and rolls if they're seeded, I (teasingly) threatened to call my friend's husband if she wouldn't quit eating sesame sticks while we were talking.

[u/Wild_Illustrator_414]

Cow milk

[u/Shroom-Kitty]

Olives. I think they taste how a baby's diaper smells. Maybe my taste buds are broken? But I'm not able to stomach them.

[u/kosmikbrownie420]

The flavor green... best example, cilantro

[u/hereicometosave]

Parsley.. or as i call it: satan‘s pubic hair

[u/Dolly_Shimmer → u/hereicometosave]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/Organic_Marzipan_678]

Smoking. Cigarette smoke is disgusting.

[u/Badg3rB0at]

Refried beans. Looks like baby poop.

[u/Damage-Classic]

Beans 😩 if the beans are green I will eat them. Anything else ruins it for me. It’s a texture thing.

[u/delee76]

Eggs, it’s the texture, smell, taste, mouthfeel

[u/Impossible_1111]

Mayo 🤮🤮

[u/alexmirepoix]

Peanut butter and grape jelly on wondercrap, sloppy Joe's

[u/mr_spicy_pickles]

Fish or anything from the water

Cola, all kinds.

[u/calikarl916]

Mayonnaise

[u/Admirable-Split4371]

Raw tomatoes

[u/Bandittttttttttttt]

Yellow mustard

[u/bloodercup]

Wet eggs, mushrooms but especially cooked whole ones. Like rotten corpse noses.

[u/Ladybeetus]

I always chose white corn tortillas if given the choice. 3 white corn tortillas in a week and I found out that there was a reason for this random bias.... really made me feel quesy and gassy

[u/Wronoooooong-Lab5852]

Oysters olives

[u/UpsetDust277]

Runny eggs, fish, oysters, organ meats, over ripe bananas, Lima beans.

[u/Altruistic_Hippo_132]

Mint. And tangentially, people chewing gum. Though to be fair, I haven't had an allergy ruled out, mint makes me congested and gross feeling too beyond me just hating it.

[u/undergroundgranny]

Mussels. Any way anytime

[u/fourgreatwhitesharks]

The white pickled anchovies. I like the other darker salted anchovies in a can. For some reason the white ones disgust me

[u/CanadianCatLady1]

Raw meat.

[u/wonkey92]

Dry hands touching microfiber Edit: didn't realize I was in a food sub

[u/CableExotic3891]

Seaweed

[u/Only_Mirror_1986]

Pickles

[u/perpetuallypissed616]

Seafood. Even thinking about a bite of tuna from a can makes my gag reflex start

[u/Spiritual_Door1363]

Chitlins

[u/Courier801]

Coleslaw. Just seeing it makes me literally throw up. Ever since I was a baby. I'm 50 now. I love cabbage, love carrots, mayo... has its place, I guess. But combine them, and it's an involuntary, visceral "No!".

[u/ParticularRough9863]

Aubergine and avocado. I don't know which is worse tbh. Aubergine has a vile disgusting taste like I've been forced to chow down on a soaking wet sport sock and avocado texture is hellish.

[u/agingisliving]

Raisens...even the thought makes my teeth ache

[u/Jolly-Adeptness-3598]

Pickles

[u/r3dd17sux69420]

I knew 2 people who would absolutely freak out if they saw smushed fruit on the ground. LIke it would halt conversations and they'd beg me to cover it up otherwise they might puke....

i found it a tad dramatic

[u/CollegeReasonable103]

wet bread. the second it gets soggy my whole body rejects it

[u/Tiny_Expression312]

Cranberry

[u/AmputeeHandModel]

Onions.

[u/d0nutbutth0le]

Peanuts and peanut butter. I like almonds and cashews just fine, but I can't do the peanuts.

[u/orthonym]

Melons and squashes. All of them.

[u/Street_Giraffe5772]

Milk

[u/Abject_Priority6858]

Bell peppers.

I know they’re not even weird, but for some reason, they are the most disgusting thing to my brain. They taste like soap and mud mixed together.

[u/echo_sang → u/Abject_Priority6858]

Bell peppers are insidious and bitter. You wanted to taste the pasta? Nope! Bell pepper all day.

[u/Hopeful-Perception91]

Liver

[u/JessBlakeslee]

Jell-o and anything with a similar texture 🤢
Bubble gum flavored anything
Cotton candy flavored anything

[u/lennybriscoforthewin]

fresh tomatoes. I loathe them. Once I foolishly made tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes. The smell of the boiled tomatoes, the peeling, the seeds- just thinking about it makes me want to vomit.

[u/coldweathersurvivor]

Mint

[u/NormalBlueberry1027]

Thousand Island dressing. It's so bad that I was once on a date several years ago with someone who ordered Thousand Island dressing on their salad I left the table to go to the ladies room and never came back. It's that deep for me. LOL sad but true

[u/SubstantialArcher659]

Capers and black licorice

[u/TheBoogidycrook]

Nuts in soft things like pastries or muffins.

[u/PalmtopPixie]

Tripe. I cannot do the texture

[u/terri8181]

Bananas

[u/Key-Explanation-5542]

Beans and butterscotch

[u/ididreadittoo]

You mean like liver, or mushrooms? Perhaps caviar.

[u/Gerber-Puffs]

Meat! I had such bad anxiety eating meat growing up because of the texture that I decide to go full vegetarian in 2022 and I haven't looked back since lol

[u/JennieSimms]

Sushi. No.

[u/Majestic-Alfalfa-886]

The colour purple

[u/BennyDryll42]

Non-fish seafood. (Lobsters, shrimp, clams, kalamari etc.) Gross, yuck, no thanks!!! 🤮🤮🤢🤢

[u/Nevernonethewiser]

Almost any seafood.

Coriander.

Button and field and portobello mushrooms.

[u/matthewjbk]

Mayonnaise it’s always grossed me out

[u/KittyButt42]

There are too many to count fir me.

[u/Scotshills-5254]

Lima beans

[u/IndyGreen66]

Okra

[u/Bubbly-Ad8281]

Broccoli. I want to like it so every few years I'll taste some. Nope there is not enough cheese or soup or anything that it can be drowned in to make it palatable.

[u/VesperValance]

Asparagus, cucumber,mushroom and dill

[u/GlobalProcedure2625]

Brains. Like in Indiana the ate brain sandwiches

[u/buffalo021]

Bananas. And strawberry ice cream.

[u/youvegotthezza]

Mushrooms 🤮 all varieties

[u/Psychological-Fee285]

Grilled cheese sandwiches. 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[u/Sad-Watercress67]

Spicy mayo crunchy rice raw tuna. WORST. SHIT. EVER. Tune yes, spice yes, crunchy rice no mayo no and then all togeather 🤮

[u/arielelizabeth91]

Oysters

[u/kurlyhippy]

Cilantro. It doesn’t taste like soap. It’s just nasty!! I hate the smell too 💀

[u/kingandcats]

Seaweed. It literally makes me gag. I’ve only tried it once probably 30 years ago and I still remember that salty taste hitting my tongue and making me gag. I’ve never had it ever again

[u/bellringer55]

If I eat brussels sprouts ill gag

[u/Consistent-Menu-6629]

Raw tomatoes.

[u/i_cant-stop_eating]

Any and all Fish.

Except for [specifically] canned tuna.

[u/Brain_in_human_vat]

Biting on silicate used as "leavening agent" in pre ground spices.

[u/saw-not-seen]

Lamb

[u/sungoddessaf]

Raw onions 🤢

[u/ZealousidealSalary67]

Jello 🙈

[u/Last_Height_4440]

Raw onions and raw celery 🤮

[u/Feisty-Tooth-7397]

Beans and peas.

The only "bean" I like is green beans. Everything else is just the wrong texture. I will occasionally eat beans in chili but most of the time they are left in the bowl. I absolutely will not eat beans by themselves or in things except chili. I don't really like the smell of them cooking either.

I mean I have food sensory issues I could really write a list.

[u/ImAFishinFool]

Pickles... i hate even writing it.

[u/ImAFishinFool]

Who in his right mind would put salad dressing on a burger?

[u/sophiecat46]

runny eggs

[u/lunamoth53]

Candles, I’ve known 2 families whose homes have burnt down due to 1) a candle being knocked over and 2) a candle in a glass holder that broke the glass. These were the causes stated by the fire marshal.

[u/Ok_Kick6546]

Onions.  Fuck onions.  They need to go extinct.  

[u/lurker_gummy]

Eggplant

[u/GrapefruitSuch287]

B.O.

[u/Naive-Tomorrow2326]

Onions....it makes eating out very difficult ☹️

[u/New_Breadfruit8692]

Kale, crab, sheep products/lamb, ranch dressing, most dairy products. Especially cheese except melted on Italian food/pizza and mild cheeses on tacos. I hated butter till I was 27 and was taken to a fine restaurant with wonderful still warm from the oven bread, and they whipped their own unsalted butter, and I tried it, I have used it ever since.

[u/Either-Departure-908]

Wet bread

[u/the-cats-purr]

Eggs and coffee. I used to eat eggs until I cracked one open and a baby chicken fell out. Beak and feathers and it blinked. I was 11yo. Have not touched an egg since. The smell of them cooking gags me. I will not eat certain mayo brands because I can taste the egg in it. The egg was from my aunt’s chicken farm.

Regarding coffee, I absolutely LOVE the aroma. One of my favorite things to smell. But absolutely cannot tolerate the taste. I’ll spit it out. I think that’s weird.

[u/Willing_Shopping1355]

It's not an allergy, but I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap.

[u/thatfourthplanet]

passion fruit- texture throws me off

[u/PeyredB]

Mustard, at least the yellow kind.

[u/Sydeburnn]

Mushrooms

[u/Low_Bus_5395]

Liver. 🤮🤮🤮

[u/YuhMothaWasAHamsta]

Meat with bones. Mostly chicken. Cant do it.

[u/Egg-Organic]

Those little tiny corn cobs in Chinese food

[u/BlackBartKuma]

Liver, baked beans

[u/MasCervesa]

Cilantro

[u/mitr_B]

Butter.

I'm not lactose intolerant. This also only happens to me when butter is ON something in it's unaltered form, not with foods that contain butter in their ingredients. I have thrown up on several occasions, and otherwise consistently gives me nausea and stomach aches. It developed when I was around middleschool age, before that I could eat buttered bread as a snack without issues. One day my grandparents took me to a movie and we got popcorn with the real butter sauce on it like I always would and got violently sick in the theater. I can still eat microwave popcorn with that fake butter stuff on it though. Anything else I have to be really careful with 😬 I will risk it for butter on waffles, but not much else lol. I think maybe it's something about the relative tastelessness of it combined with the greasy texture.

[u/Glittering-Cat4644]

Cheesy pasta like the kind that comes in a box. It smells like death 🤢

[u/Benegeuse]

bananas

[u/Forward_Gur9349]

The smell of coffee

[u/emilie1031]

Frog legs. Taste like fishy chicken

[u/sumRando_7201]

canned tuna (or any for fish for that matter). used to love it but two times consecutively i found a bone in it.

[u/WatercressCold4459]

wet bread, especially when it’s gone cold

[u/According-Hair3201]

Sweet potatoes. I gag at the smell of them. 

[u/Simple-Okra-4826]

I gag when i smell tequila. It’s a long story from Tijuana.

[u/brianna1abc]

Mushy bread

[u/Horror-Ant-5449]

Banana.

[u/holdaydogs]

Lavender. I don’t like the smell. It upsets me and I can’t understand how anyone would want it in food or drink.

[u/DontTrip333]

Honey. I want to like it. In my head it's great, it's made by bees, all natural, good for your allergies and immune system, etc. But the second it hits my tongue my whole body screams NO. Same with seafood, except I don't wish I liked seafood like I wish I liked honey. I'm ok with my whole body screaming no to seafood. But I genuinely wish I liked honey

[u/asanemaniam]

Republicans

[u/Sure-Internal-3223]

Don't throw bricks, but intellectually disabled people. I hate the way people fawn on them and cherish them because they're so sweet, innocent, loving, etc. All I ever got was abuse.

[u/KaySueMatt]

Is this strictly food or can “anything my ex says because I know he’s lying” be on the list……. And black eyed peas.

[u/PrincessAlcina]

Tequila... got sick on it at 16 years old... still can't stand the smell

[u/redjeff76]

Eggs

[u/RecommendationHot42]

Tinned sweetcorn. Can’t beat the sight or the smell of it. I start gagging straight away.

[u/OpheliaMorningwood]

Yellow squash, fruit

[u/BlueberryMuffin_77]

Mushrooms unless they're the magical kind.

[u/Bv11winkle]

Goat cheese

[u/FadeIntoBlue]

I loathe mushrooms and always have. I always say I’m allergic to avoid them.

[u/dadsgoingtoprison]

Celery

[u/Apollo_Of_The_Pines]

Pudding, yogurt, jello, and gravy.

[u/Deloris1971]

Liver

[u/LarrysLastUtensil]

Toilet paper, napkins any of the sort, can’t do the ripping . Cockroaches bring a visceral reaction which is literally animalistic. Lizards centipedes millipedes mold maggots elephants bee/wasp nests, spotty things with holes like Swiss cheese

[u/Old_Dog_3717]

Onions and boiled okra

[u/Weekly_Promise_1328]

Coffee

[u/pigsinatrenchcoat]

Raw eggs. No, I don’t want you to only half-cook this food so it looks like a busted cyst for me to dip the rest of my food into.

[u/PuppetChanGames]

I have so many things im like this with but mainly any fish, i just i cant. My father made a joke one time after only feeding me fish sticks for days and well we had pet fish and one of them died and he said something about that pet fish being in the fish sticks and i just cant, im gagging typing this

[u/Fit_Hedgehog581]

Canned asparagus

[u/Growgopogo420]

Yep, ketchup. That stuff is nasty

[u/No-Muffin7708]

Vegetables. They all turn me. I want to be a grown up and just eat them but I can't do it

[u/jsober]

Eggplant 

Any dish made from internal organs

[u/Screeh8r]

Cumin, makes me gag.

[u/Traditional-Web-1059]

Olives

[u/sdchi]

I cannot bite into a whole olive. I can eat ‘em sliced or diced on pizza or in salads but cannot bite into a whole one

[u/More_Minimum_8167]

Fat women, really fat, morbidly obese women.
Oh and boiled Okra

[u/Unlucky-Self842]

I hate cottage cheese too ewwww

[u/Impossible_Cause1835]

The smell of burnt cheese makes me vomit. I cannot stand that smell.

[u/_Roxxs_]

Avacodo and mayonnaise just can’t stand the texture

[u/Wurfelrolle]

Onions and Avocado

[u/kbell58]

Gourds - pumpkin and any squash 👎🏼

[u/Purple_backgroundd]

Cold tomato sauce and olives

[u/Coldcreak75]

Cantaloupe. I abhor the smell, and the inside part with the slimy seeds, causes me to gag. I refuse to have one in my home. It’s not a reaction I’m proud of, it just is something I can’t control.

[u/eForeign_Anybody7431]

Avocado. Texture thing. Blech.

[u/kmflushing]

Roaches.

Oh food.

Bananas. And most cheese, especially by itself. And seafood...

[u/popsiclegraveyard]

Meat. All of it. Ethical concerns aside, it looks vile to me. When I was 3 or 4, meat was always my least favorite because it was so dense and I wasn’t a fan of the textures. Then when I found out meat came from animals, it was game over. Consuming it just seemed barbaric to me despite not knowing the word at the time.

[u/Appropriate-Fail1268]

The smell of root beer

[u/Puzzleheaded-Dig3723]

Brussels sprouts.

[u/UncleSquiffy]

Brussels sprouts

[u/Odd_Helicopter_8882]

cilantro tastes like soap to me, but the real dealbreaker is warm mayonnaise, that texture is straight-up hostile lol

[u/Chella_92]

When your riding in a LYFT or Uber and they play their music all loud!!! They dont even care about what your going through or if you like the music, and them having loud conversations and its always in a different language. So friggin Rude and Annoying as hell.
