There are foods that most people dislike. And then there are foods that most people enjoy. Like nuts. Or seafood.
There are quite a few foods that I do not enjoy. Of these foods, there are quite a few on the list of foods that the majority of the population enjoys. Below are the Top 5 "normal" foods which I do not enjoy. (For all intents and purposes, my definition of "normal" means it is enjoyed by at least 60% of the population.
Also, I have no statistical backing for my analysis of popular foods. I'm simply going off a hunch. Because hunches are usually accurate, right?
I digress...below are some normal foods that I do not like.
1. Seafood.
I will take none of it. No crabs, no fish, no lobster, no problem. If it swims as a primary means of transportation, I'm not interested.
2. Nuts.
I don't like nuts in my cookies, on my brownies or in my cakes. All they do is create a weird texture thing and they taste like what I think the wall tastes like.
3. Lettuce.
The texture is the issue here. I will eat baby spinach leaves if they are dry and cool. But cold and wet...or worse...cold and wet AND slimy? I'm done. No thanks. Eighty-six the lettuce please.
4. Apple Pie.
Call me un-American, but I do not enjoy apple pie. I don't really enjoy most pies but I can't say all pies because there are a few, namely, that contain chocolate that I do enjoy. However, cinnamony-hot-baked apples, I do not like. I do not like them Sam I am.
5. Chinese Food.
I just don't love it. I don't love eggrolls, sweet and sour chicken, anything in that god-awful red sauce or spicy anything. Chinese food doesn't really agree with me either. We have a standing agreement to avoid each other at all costs. When I have to order Chinese, I usually opt for noodles. You can't really go wrong with noodles, right?
What are some "normal" foods you don't like?
Aww, I love all of these foods. Although I don't care one way or another about lettuce.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand bananas. Their consistency is just gross to me. Ew!
I like all of these.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a picky eater, but I don't eat beets. And I don't like my food to touch.
I agree with your list! I'm a very selective eater, and people love to quiz me on things and I usually don't like them. The biggest one that surprises everyone is peanut butter. I don't like it. The smell and flavor of it are just not for me. Every time there are desserts at work, I have to tactfully ask whether the various desserts include PB!
ReplyDeleteWe are very much alike in our taste! I don't like 1, 2, 3, or 5. I am also NOT a fan of bacon IN things. I like bacon by itself. But I want nothing to do with dishes that have bacon in them, including but not limited to: bacon cheeseburgers, loaded baked potatoes, sandwiches with bacon, salads with bacon, bacon omelets, etc.
ReplyDeleteAlso, cilantro. Cilantro is the only food that I will actually spit out of my mouth if I taste it in a dish.
I'm sure there's more too!
Maybe you only dislike Chinese food in China Towns. Chinese food has a enormous variation. I also hate "China Town" dishes with thick starch sauce. Chinese families do not cook them like that. I understand idea to exotic foods - I used to hate salad because I thought salad can only be with artificial mayonnaise in Mac's. ^_^
