I've never been able to understand how people can each tomato ketchup.
Just typing the words makes me want to retch *shudder*
And I can't drink spirits other than girlie ones such as gin, malibu and port - whiskey and brandy make me feel ill.
Other than that, I'm a bit of a human dustbin, really - I'll eat just about anything.
Are there any things that you don't eat or drink that other people seem to enjoy?
(yes, I am bored, I am off sick from work...)

Most Cooked Veggies are too soft for my palate, like things hard and well, crunchy. (please minds out of the gutter! )

Mayonnaise, sour cream, quark, cream cheese, milk, butter milk, white yoghurt.
Basically if it's white and runny I won't touch it.
Cold meat, cooked vegetables, food that touches.

This should probably have gone in the unpopular opinions post,judging by the popularity of the TT Curry night.

I am almost actually scared of the stuff. Its horrid. To the gents out there (and carpet munchers too, lets be PC about it all eh.) think of some really really dog ugly bint that you detest - then imagine drinking her breast milk. No? Don't fancy it? But you'll take it from a cow?!?!
Sick sick sick.
Oh, still less sick than that foul fake milk soya shit. Imagine getting a really really dog ugly bint, and then trying to recreate the flavour of her breast milk using soya beans. Fucking ridiculous concept. You people make me sick.

Of course. But I steep the milk with 3 shitloads (actual scientific measurement term) of carrots, celeriac, garlic, shallots and that sort of stuff.
I cook with milk all the time. It's just the fresh stuff, particularly warm from the teat, that makes me wanna retch.

It's more the foul rim of encrusted shite that always forms on any 1000 island dressing bottle that gets me. Most restaurants low enough to have any of that shit in the kitchen also have the habit of never putting it into the fridge. Which is nice.

1000 Island Dressing. One of the three standard salad dressings for every Pub and Steakhouse in the UK
The other two being "Blue Cheese" and "French"

I'll actually force myself to eat olives whenever I get the chance thinking I might just get it that time, but alas, hasn't happened yet.

Oooh, nice. A pop quiz with a Berni Inn slant. Lovely.
Erm, so we have
1 - 1000 Island Dressing
2 - its gotta be the blue cheese dip. *must concentrate to relinquish memories of that gothic bird I went out with*
Whats the third then Crawlie? C'mon, you know you're crappy steakhouse cuisine as well as I..

He has to give back his passport, surely?
For me the list of groo is relatively short:
Any combination of fruit and chocolate - the mere scent of chocolate orange makes me queasy
Jellied Eels or other things in aspic
Having said that, I think I like nearly everything else anyone else has listed here. Even had black pudding last night as a starter and very nice it was too. Followed by scallops. Perfect meal.

Respect. It was blatantly a trick question, which you saw straight through. Bonus points if you can name the average number of litres of booze consumed by our consummate professional, head chef, celtish drunk, ken. Answer to the nearest 10 is acceptable.

Weinhaus Neuner's black pudding starter launched an immaculate meal last night. I love expenses, I do.
Natto - Fermented Soy Bean - truly the one and only dish I can't stand. Had to eat a bowl of it in Japan. It was offered to me by our host (a really, really old power suit who paid for a 10 day business trip for about a dozen of us). It was our final dinner, *the* poshest place from what I was told in the genza district in Japan. He had the restaurant closed for our party. I got to sit next to him and eat his favourite dish. All of it, while 10 odd Japanese people looked on with approval. It was all very weird.
No way not to eat it all and declare it wonderful.
[img]http://www.bookmice.net/darkchilde/japan/japan/natto.jpg[/img]
"Natto is fermented soy beans. The beans are boiled, wrapped in straw and left to ferment for several days. They have vitamins, fiber and protein and thus are a good source of nutrition.
Natto dates back at least 1000 years and eventually became a favorite of people living in Edo, the capital city of Japan at that time.
People sold natto basically door-to-door. Some people added it to miso, others added minced onions and soy sauce and then poured the entire sum over some hot rice. It's cheap and has a rather strong odor.
Natto is sometimes used as a breakfast food, mixed with beaten raw egg and soy sauce, then poured over steaming hot rice. Natto is definitely not a favorite of non-Japanese, though, and even many Japanese do not care for it."

I don't like seafood. The smell puts me off big time.
I don't like mayonnaise or vinegar on chips. Why would you put the same stuff onto chips as a salad? Makes no sense to me.
I don't like cheese. The only exception is the melted stuff on pizzas or lasagne, etc. How anyone can stick something in their mouth that smells of stinky socks is beyond me.

agree with the others about olives...they're chewy and taste odd.
