I'm not going to eat that

Are there foods that you just don't like? I have quite a list of them myself. I won't eat okra, don't like black eyed peas, don't like green peas either for that matter. Rhubarb, nasty stuff; peppers - well, I'm actually allergic to them, but I don't like their taste any more either. Of course, I'm very allergic to corn, so I don't eat that, but that is a different subject. I don't like salmon, I guess if I were hungry enough and there were nothing else, I'd manage to eat it. I know many people don't like certain food. President George H. W. Bush didn't like broccoli. My favorite BBQ place makes a broccoli salad that we've called "Bush Bane" every since he said that. So, are there foods that you just can't bear to put in your mouth?
"I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli." - George H. W. Bush quotes from BrainyQuote.com

Virtually no. I am fine with all foods that I can recall. I feel blessed like that.

I always was a picky eater, but I love pasta, and cheese cake, too much!

I do not like carrots and green peas. I think the fact that these are some of the ingredients cooked in Chinese fried rice makes it also the last dish I will ever order.

I don't care for green peas either. They don't have a flavor I care for and I also don't care for their texture.

Ooh rhubarb....I agree with you. Some people dress it up with sugar but to me it is still gross and unpleasant . I have this thing about mushrooms. Cannot do mushrooms - cooked or uncooked. Icky!

I love mushrooms, but I can understand not really liking them. There are times and places I don't really want them, and the roomie thinks they belong in everything.

I tried it, I didn't like it. Again, I might eat it if I were really hungry and nothing else were to eat, but I prefer my fish cooked, thank you...

I like all foods as long as they're edible for human consumption.

I simply can't make myself taste oysters, shrimp or actually all seafood except cod fish.

I had a friend who wouldn't eat any seafood, actually any thing that came out of the water. Even though I grew up 200 miles from the ocean, my folks were from the east coast, so fish was a normal part of their diet that they enjoyed and we learned to love it too.

I can eat all kinds of vegetables, except pork and chicken.
