10 on Tuesday: 10 Foods You Hate
This is a difficult meme since as a foodie, I tend to like almost everything, and I wouldn’t say that I hate any of these (dislike is a better word), but here goes in no particular order:
- Green peppers (especially raw)
- Red peppers (especially raw)
- Celery (especially raw)
- Okra
- Natto (well, I’ve only had it once and would probably try it again)
- Raw tomato slices, especially if they’re not ripe
- Pickle relish
- Salmon roe — it’s a texture thing, though I like other roe
- Vegetables *when they are overcooked*, especially green beans and asparagus
- Pepperoni
PHEW!
Very nice blog.Will be back to read later. Im not big on anything with salmon. Nice list!
Is there a growing underground of celery haters? So many people listed it, I’m totally surprised! Funny that.
I’m not a big fan of pepperoni either. It leaves a nasty after taste.
Oh! I love raw peppers! And okra is awesome fried! (Careful, my redneck roots are showing. *grin*)
Have a great week!
Karen… I’ll agree that okra fried with cornmeal breading is tasty… As you can see, this was a difficult meme for me!
I usually don’t like eating red/green peppers either. But all of your other foods …some I like and other I don’t 🙂 Just wondering..why don’t you like pepperoni? *grin*
Happy Ten on Tuesday! Mine is up 🙂
Hi Julia! Thanks for visiting! I decided a few years ago that there were no foods that I didn’t like or wouldn’t eat… Those items on my list have been the ‘holdouts’ so far! I can eat them, and will on occasion, but they tend to be the items I wouldn’t, for example, order if I was ordering food for myself.
Cheap pepperoni tastes metallic and overly spicy to me. I don’t mind spicy food; the taste of pepperoni just doesn’t appeal. However, there is a local pizza place that puts the pepperoni on top of the cheese so it gets crispy and brown, and THAT pepperoni, I LIKE!
Celery is one of those foods they tell you its good for you you when you’re a kid, and then you grow up and realize you’ve been eating foam flavored cardboard with peanut butter and raisins on it forever. Ew.
I hate raw tomato, but cooked tomatoes, tomato sauce, those are all yummy. I don’t know if it’s a texture thing or what. Raw tomato to me is just yuck.
