Used to dislike asparagus, but now I like it. Drizzled with a little olive oil, cooked in the oven on 450 for 10-15 minutes. Yum!
Also, never tried Brussels sprouts until the other night when I had them crispy at this Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant. They were delicious!
Funny, I like lots of things that other people hate.
I miss Kashi go lean cereal. I used to mix the original with the crunch and top with frozen berries - yummy!
Kale chips are my new favorite snack - just bought a big bag of pre-shredded kale to make some tomorrow.
I actually learned to like asparagus in the last couple years. I just kept trying it because it always smelled so good. Eventually my taste buds caught up with my nose.
I don't think the shiritaki noodles are terrible, but they don't do much for me, either. Not sure if I'll buy them again.
Beets-taste like dirt to the 9th degree
Brussel Sprouts-Just tastes like bitter lettuce
Cottage Cheese-Its a texture thing
Pea Protein-No way to describe it
Whey shakes-Most of them taste like over-sweet chalk/mud
Protein Bars-Over-sweet fake tasting chalky bars of rubber
Raw Oysters-Slimy
Shiritake Noodles-Slimy worms
Wheatgrass-like grass
Kale chips-like eating leaves
Mixed greens-dirt tasting cluster of october's fall leaves that my dad rakes up.
I don't do any fishy/seafood that looks back at me or I can still make out body parts. Totally creeps me out.
I don't like green bell peppers but love red, yellow and orange.
I can handle the flavor of some stone fruit but won't sit and eat a fresh peach.
I also don't like melon, of any kind.
Ok, to be honest, I have a big issue with about 1/2 of the fruit on this planet. I LOVE veggies but just can't do a lot of fruit. I either don't like the taste/texture or its just WAY too seedy for me.
you are very welcome! the kelloggs special k cereal seems to be hard at times too. especially the chocolate delights one. also i tried modella peanut butter protein bar.... OMG NO! BLECH
I loathe raw vegetables - celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and especially carrots. They are so good for you but taste so god awful!
I recently I got it into my head that maybe if I made myself eat them I’d develop a taste for them. Horrible, horrible idea. I chewed with my mouth wide open in attempt to escape the flavor. I did my best not to breath through my nose. I valiantly fought my gag reflex. About halfway through I realized it wasn’t going to happen and gave it up.
I’ve come to the conclusion it’s best to just stick with what I know I like: my veggies cooked and hot, my fruit firm and cold.
I must be a super taster because the foods I can't stand, everyone I know loves them. I hate raw veggies too. But it's weird because i love them steamed.
And for coconut water. The bottled stuff smells like doo and tastes like it too. BUT I pour it in my morning smoothie and I can't taste it and I can get the nutrients.
Seaweed is aweful all by itself but I do love it in soups!
Last week I tried a Pure Protein bar in the "Strawberry Shortcake" flavor... It tasted like poison. Seriously. It was so nasty I could barely choke it down. And I LOVE the Pure Protein bars that are chocolate flavors (Chocolate peanut butter, chocolate chip, etc.) Now I know why there were so many Strawberry Shortcake bars left on the shelf while the other flavors were cleared out!!
I hate grapefruit. I've tried to like them, but they taste so sour I can't stand them. Same with pomellos.
I hate okra because it's slimy to me - I also dislike beets - and I love tomatoes, onions, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, etc., that other people seem to hate.
