Foods others love but you just don't 'get'

Bacon, its nice but so fucking overrated nothing comes close.
And the people who go on and on over bacon doesn't do it over the proper stuff but rather the shit from Walmart or whatever dumpster they bought it at.
 
sushi, clams, oysters, lobster, prawns, mushroom, pork

I also have no culinary curiosity to taste any "exotic" shit like kangaroo alligator hippopotamus whatever, give me good grass fed beef or chicken

Also crab legs. Like it's fine but it's not some super amazing thing that leaves everything else in the dirt.

Oh and for me alfredo sauce. It's just way to heavy and gives me a sickly feeling if I eat more than a little bit. An entire plate of an alfredo dish is not happening.

Pasta in general. It barely has flavor and it's basically just a vehicle to get toppings into your mouth. I'd rather just have a bowl of whatever is covering the pasta. Not much of a carb guy in general though. I'm not a fan of bread either but I at least "get" why people like it because it can be good.
 
Pepper - I hate it

I mean, I'll eat it. It's fine. But for some reason, my mind registers it as a snack. An appetizer. As a whole meal, I'm just left completely Unsatisfied.
 
Alcoholic drinks of any kind.
I know people drink alcohol for the way it makes them feel, but i cant imagine any other reason why people would want to ingest that foul liquid.
 
Beer. I used to drink 2 30 packs a week and one day I opened a can and I hated the taste. Tried doing it a few times after and hated it. 14 years of drinking everyday and it ended without me even trying.
 
Hot wings. Never understood how people can eat that mess.
Ketchup (condiment not really a food)...nasty stuff.
 
Cantaloupe. I wonder if it's one of those foods like cilantro, where a small percentage of the population thinks it tastes like soap. Because everyone tells me cantaloupe is sweet and subtle, but to me it's sour and bland. Just gross.
 
-Mushrooms are nasty.
-I love the meat part of steak, but can't stand that fat and gristle shit. 100% I pay a premium for filet mignon every time I want a steak, otherwise don't even bother and get chicken or fish or something.
-Coffee is just, idk what is wrong with people, just nasty, even the smell is awful. Took me forever to learn how to tolerate walking into a coffee shop, though I won't lie, Starbucks does have some pretty good tea options.
-Beer. Also nasty. I can tolerate some of the flavored shit but even then hit or miss. And it has nothing to do w/ the country it comes from. I've tried beer in US, Korea, Japan, Germany, Netherlands, and I'm sure imports from others. It ain't happening folks.
-Peppers. Don't like 'em. The spice has nothing to do with it, the taste is just awful.
 
Steamed or cooked veggies.
I only like peppers onion lettuce radish carrot kale, raw.

Spinach sucks so does broccoli, mushrooms are gross( except the magic ones) anything that has to be steamed or cooked blows.

I do like fried okra, potatoes etc...

But steamed or sautéed anything veggie is nasty to the point i can't stand the smell much less the taste.

In fact stews or broths in general are gross... Crock pots are the devils doing.

I use a grill dammit! for meat... I eat my veggies raw for fiber and vitamins...

If you have to cook and dress up your vegetables... You're part of the problem.
 
The only two foods I've ever spit out in my life were:

Squid - it tasted like a solid block of cold jizz,
Corn Dog - which tasted like someone had wrapped a mouldy rat in a tramps sock.

Super interesting see such variety in preferences. Entertaining read.

Iceberg lettuce. I understand how Iceberg came to be popular.... but in the modern era why do people still accept it when they are much better greens available (Romain, Butter, kale, etc). If I get a sandwich , burger or taco and it's Iceberg I rip that slimy, tasteless crap out. It simply ruins the rest of the food.
 
Anything that's too spicy and anything that has like more than 10 ingredients.
I don't get why people are proud to have fried their tastebuds so much that they can't taste anything anymore.
If you need more than 10 thing in your recipe, it will taste like nothing because nothing will stand out.

Simple good quality ingredients with a lot of love is where it's at.
