I hate onion most of the time, but I do like it when it's cooked for a really long time (such as in the juices of a Thanksgiving turkey) or fried (such as in onion rings or blooming onions).

The things that I REALLY hate that everybody else loves are pickles, cucumbers, and coffee.

Same here. Raw onions = BOO! Cooked/fried onions = YAY!

But I love pickles and cucumbers. Hate coffee.
 
I hate raw onions, but love onion rings... I also hate raw tomatoes, but love any tomato based sauce (even with chunks) ...weird I know.
 
This topic was made for me:

ALL condiments. All of them.
Bratwurst
Nearly all Asian cuisine (Sushi, Curry, etc.)
Angel-hair pasta
Chicken wings (where's the meat? This is all sauce)
Tuna fish
Gravy
Salad dressings
Raw tomatoes
Onions
Pickles
Mushrooms
Cheddar cheese (for most purposes)
Vinegar
Fruit juices (I LOVE the fruits whole though!)
Okra
Overcooked meat, ESPECIALLY overcooked bacon. Cook it right and that stuff is fucking delicious. I can't believe some people order their steak cooked above medium. Nuke all the flavor out of it, why don'tcha.

And though I like the taste of deep-fried foods, soda, and potato chips (crisps for the Brits), ever since I started eating healthy I get sort of queasy when I drink/eat that stuff.

And to note the things that I LIKE that many others have expressed dislike for:

*Properly* cooked bacon--can be crispy in choice places, but don't blacken the entire effing thing.
Bananas--especially with peanut butter. God's own snack. Speaking of which...
Peanut Butter
Milk (I rarely drink anything besides milk and water)
Eggs (I'm ho-hum about eggs, but they go great when paired with other breakfast options)
Seafood (I dig salmon, catfish, tilapia, prawns, etc.)
 
Boiled eggs.

The cherries that have been sweetened.

baked chicken.

sweet potato pie.

all donuts.

Iced tea that doesn't taste like brisk (the other kind of iced tea,) though i love hot tea.
 
as someone with a passion for food, i genuinely feel sorry for those of you who can't enjoy so many avenues for gastronomical pleasure. it's not your fault or anything, mind you, but i'd always certainly rather enjoy MORE things than LESS.
 
Why do you Americans call it tuna fish? Of course its fish! Do you also say chicken fowl or carrot vegetable? No! Of the many things Canada has stolen from America, this isnt one of them.
 
most of the americans i know don't call it tuna fish. it does seem redundant. maybe it signals a fundamental lack of understanding of how great it can be in the people who dislike it.
 
Anyone who dislikes tuna is not a person I want to associate myself with. Fish (and by extension, sandwich) of the gods.
 
crab, and I'm in MD too.

I also can't eat onions which is a pain in the ass. I hate to be the guy picking at his food but I just can't stand onions.
 
This thread has made me hungry. As a result, the sandwich I packed for lunch will be unfulfilling. That is, after I finish eating it.
 
Have the tuna haters in here tried a good tuna steak? Pure bliss. I can sort of understand not liking the canned stuff (even though I love it and will eat that shit straight out of the can with a fork), but good quality tuna is awesome.

I have a reason for not liking it, I was an idiot and ate it pretty much every day for four months. That was about a year and a half ago. Only now can I start to even look at tuna and not feel sick. :lol

Lobster, not so much

Agree with this too, I had it for the first time a year ago. I was really disappointed; all that work for such a small amount of meat.
 
my grandma makes battered and fried chicken livers that i think are one of the world's finest foods, but it's something i've been eating since i was really young. my perspective is probably really skewed.

and icarus, when you say onions, you mean any preparation of onions? i'm just wowed by the notion that someone could eat caramelized onions and dislike that experience. certainly raw, pungent onions would turn away a great many, but sweet, welcoming, loving, caramelized onions?
 
I'm not very picky with the things I put in my mouth, I'll eat pretty much anything and enjoy it too.

No doubt. I do wish I enjoyed all foods.

Taco Bell(never had it, but looks vile) Hamburgers and hot dogs.

You can't hate something you've never tried.

For me, it's gotta be tomatoes. The idea of juicy vegetables is not appetizing to me.
 
I don't HATE it, but I don't really like lobster. I think it's actually pretty bland and can be a bit rubbery. Never understood why people went so crazy for it.
 
if lobster is rubbery, someone overcooked it.

i imagine many of the dislikes for such foods in this thread are due to bad encounters with poor preparations.
 
Cheese. (and the worst is, I live in France. everyone likes cheese)

I like hot cheese though (on pizza or whatever).

I've never understood stuffing. "Here you go! Soggy chunks of bread with seasoning!"
Yeah stuffing is hit or miss with no middle ground. I only like it if I make it, or my mom does, but we don't make it soggy, it's more chunky and crispy with sausage, vegetables, onions, nuts and stuff. Soggy bread, bread pudding, even ice cream cake that has thawed... all those textures make me want to vomit. It reminds me of the bread and ketchup soup my granma would make when the fridge was empty. Blech.
 
For those who dislike an entire cuisine like sushi or Chinese food, I'm guessing you have very little experience with it or haven't tasted quality dishes. I used to be a very picky eater, but the last few years I have become much more adventurous and open-minded. Not sure why the change happened, but I enjoy all foods with a gusto now.

If you hate a specific ingredient, that's more understandable since it might just rub your palate the wrong way. I personally dislike mayo.
 
Most fish, sushi, and I dunno what the consensus on vine leaves and pine nuts are, but I hate those too. Actually, I might just be allergic to those two...
