Foods I Absolutely Will Never Eat. Never. For Any Reason.

Olives. Any kind. Ever. Under any circumstances. Ga-ross.

Cauliflower.

What I call “mixed meats” – anything that isn’t one specific kind of meat. For example, sausage, bologna, hotdogs.

Cabbage.

Scrambled eggs or omelettes. They taste like a wet dog smells. :shudder:

Canteloupe. It tastes like nail polish remover smells.

Cooked spinach, unless it’s in something. Otherwise the texture is vile.

Liver. Gag. I hate the rubbery texture and the smell as it’s cooking makes me want to puke.

Frog legs. I’ve tasted them and I think they taste fine. It’s just the idea of it. I can’t do it. I have to be as far removed as possible from the fact that my food used to be alive and it’s hard when the name of the damn thing is “Frog Legs.”

Thus, you can imagine I will not eat whole fish – only fillets or steaks. I can’t eat anything with eyes that are still intact. It’s just too gross.

Pretty much any Chinese food. I will not eat food I cannot identify and the texture of the sauces are kind of mucous like. :shudder:

My one inviolate diet rule: Never Eat Anything That Ends in –ito. (Except for Burrito.) This will save you from a lot of fat and cholesterol. Think about it: Dorito, Frito, Munchito. All nasty and all full of trans-fat and God knows what all else. And I don’t eat that many burritos because of the fat and cholesterol.
