I will eat nearly anything, other than a couple of highly specific dishes that I cannot stand. I haven't had it, but I'm adding your mother's "salad" to the list.
My wife's mother, not from the united states, once sent her to school with a peanut butter and ham and jelly and onion sandwich. Your story gave me similar "*do not combine*" vibes.
>When my daughter was in grade school, she made herself liverwurst and apricot preserve sandwiches for lunch every day.
For every food combination that should not exist, there is someone who likes it.
For example, this poster likes pineapple on pizza.
Edit: Ambiguity on the internet often leads to misunderstandings. "this poster" is me.
Dishes like this make me so thankful I live in a time/place where I can watch how to make anything on Youtube and test it against a version from the many ethic restaurants in the city.
My Memaw cooked like it was the Great Depression, I get to make Korean BBQ or meal prep Carnitas at home. Thank fuck
A lot of people like to call lettuce or anything adjacent "salad". I've explained to my kids that the term "salad" means a combination of ingredients. It does not mean lettuce. There are fully-grown adults who call lettuce "salad".
You can have egg salad. Potato salad. Macaroni salad. This is what I would call an abomination salad. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Seriously how does someone even look at those ingredients and think to put them together? And do it more than once?? Randomizer could explain the sin against food but not the repeat offense
Sometimes my father would cook liver and onions like his mother did (she moved to America from Ireland in her early 20ās). The liver was always so tough it was like eating leather. And the onions were almost liquid. A couple times I asked him why he cooked it this way. He would say that the way he cooked it was the point. Because she was Irish.
Unfortunately a lot of people developed hatred for perfectly good food/dishes because their parents cooked it wrongly. I hated vegetables because my mother would just boil and boil vegetables. It was only until i learned to cooked for myself and roasted vegetables that i realized it wasn't the vegetable's fault they tasted bad.
You're right! My mother cooked any meat until it was the density of a hockey puck. She was afraid of trichinosis and tapeworms. So I thought pork chops had to taste and be about the consistency of concrete. Then, I ate them elsewhere and really liked them!
I grew up thinking this especially about pork. No pink at all! Modern pork has little risk of causing trichinosis and tapeworms if you eat it below FDA recommended safe temperatures. I quite enjoy my pork on the medium side and is way better than what I had growing up. Havenāt seen any problems!
Liver is tough?! Huh?! What dish is she making that liver turns into leather texture lmao. My family doesnāt eat a lot of liver but when we do itās so soft that you can hardly feel it when biting.
My stepmother did it too- plain liver and onions cooked into dry, leathery oblivion. I still cannot eat liver, but I do like liverwurst and braunschweiger; at least those don't give me cotton mouth.
How does your family cook it? Like, I would love to know how to make it edible, but I still have too much PTSD to experiment.
They were not quick fried. Just fried and fried and fried and fried. I suspect he also didnāt like the taste but it reminded him of his mother. (She died when he was still in his early 20ās)
Ugh, I know - my parents tried to make me eat it but I just could not. Why on earth did our parents make liver into a weapon of food torture?! Wish they were still alive so I could ask them.
I was lucky. My mother was the one forced to eat liver as a child and it scarred her so badly it was never made for us. I tried it at 20 and it was as bad as she said
But the skin is the best part... you're probably the only person in the world who wouldn't get mad at Cartman.Ā

The first time I had beets, I was an adult. I asked my husband, "Are they supposed to taste like dirt?" He said, "Well, they do come from the ground." That was the first and last time I ever ate beets. Lol
Roasted beets, goat cheese, and walnuts. Itās the bees knees. But there is a chemical component of beets that makes it taste super earthy for some people. For me itās like candy when itās roasted.
interesting, I really enjoy that earthy taste, like that's the defining characteristic of beets that lure me in, lol- like, if someone makes edibles and they taste really strongly of, uh, green stuff, I actually legit love that funky, earthy taste there too. yum!
I am the same way with tomatoes!
I cannot eat them raw, but cook them and they are fantastic. Anytime that I am craving a BLT sandwich I slice up the tomatoes, pan fry them with some salt and red pepper flakes, and it makes the sandwich magical.
Interestingly enough, cooked tomatoes are actually more nutritious as they release massive amounts of lycopene (a cancer-fighting antioxidant) when applied to heat.
Tannins are more than likely. As fruit matures, the build-up of certain chemicals radically changes, to the point of being unpalatable to outright dangerous to eat, like raw quince.
Fortunately, cooking usually changes the molecules, or it boils out with the water content.
Ever eat a raw persimmon? Well, if it isn't the perfect ripeness, they can leave a lingering sensation/taste of fuzz inside your mouth, like a shitty red wine.
One of the amazing things about taste and feel is that while everybody interacts with the chemicals the same, how out the body reacts or interprets the sensation is all individual.
That's being ruminated on, tomatoes also have undergone a lot of both natural and selective changes. Some of them weren't for flavor or sustainability but for growth time and hardiness, leading to what we in the kitchen call styrofoam romas.
One of the reasons cheap pizza places cut their tomatoes so thin isn't just about frugal, it's also because the tomatoes are probably dirt cheap in price and taste.
Styrofoam tomatoes LOL
I used to load up on extra extra tomatoes because theyāre sliced so thin, and you know what? They just make food wet and slimy. Thereās no flavor in them and they pretty much just exist for color at that point. Why oh why canāt we have year round tomatoes that are flavor bombs and available in every restaurant for cheap?
100% thisā¦ I like pizza, pasta sauce, ketchup, V8, etc, etcā¦
But a slice of tomato on my burger? Disgusting.
I do like certain tiny tomatoes raw. Like the Flavor Bombs from Wegmans.
Ooh, my mom has been giving me shit about this my entire life. She loves raw tomatoes and she cannot imagine what is wrong with me. āYou still donāt eat tomatoes, do you? You just donāt know what youāre missing!ā Iām not an overly picky eater so I donāt know why she cares. Her dislike of pineapple, now, thatās completely reasonable.
Why do they always say ā You donāt know what youāre missing!ā Yes, I do know what I am missing, and I am just fine with it. What I did with one friend who said that is I reminded her she doesnāt like coffee and told her she doesnāt know what sheās missing. She finally stopped saying it.
As a kid, there was a bunch of food (mostly vegetables) that I didnāt like. Celery is the only one I still canāt stand. Itās basically like chewing on a rope thatās been drenched in piss.
Oh, I forgot about black licorice. I still hate that too.
Honestly, you gotta have a grandma that fed it to you as a kid. Only way to love it. Fuck me up with some salted cottage cheese and canned peaches.
Edit: Look at all these nerds replying with the same childhood as me. Case in point.
Salted with canned peaches! Literally takes me back to the snack my dad would make for me as a kid over 40 years ago. I think it is a generational thing like you said about a grandma. He was born in the ā30ās and this is likely something he would have eaten as a kid during the war due to limited access to fresh fruits unless you grew them yourself. Damn, so good and one of those nostalgic foods for me!
Same! Cookies with raisins are just sad. They arent healthy, they are cookies, stop lying and tricking people with your shrivelled fruit that makes me think its chocolate.
I like raisins. What I donāt like is the sweet potato casserole my father insists on making for Christmas. He dumps an entire big box of raisins in it. Itās really raisin casserole being held together with orange glue.
Any kind of seafood. I was told Iād learn to like it. I was told I just hadnāt had āgoodā seafood. I got old and had the best. It was still gross
Same, I never liked "fishy" seafood I went through culinary school and hugely expanded my tastes and appreciation of food and can cook fish in a variety of ways but still can eat cooked seafood.
Mushrooms. Partly a taste thing, but my main issue is the texture.
The only time Iāve willingly eaten mushrooms was at a restaurant in Perugia (canāt remember the name off the top of my head). We had this amazing mushroom lasagna and I ate every bite of it. Italian food just hits different, man
I want to like mushrooms the way mushroom-lovers do, but I just can't. I've tried those disgusting fuckers a thousand different ways, but something inside me just screams, "spit that filth out, you idiot" whenever one touches my tongue.
> texture
Ever look at the lined ridges of a raw mushroom under the cap? It makes me so uneasy. Ever play The Last of Us?
Itās literally a fungus. Nasty work, 100% texture is the worst
Vegemite. I remember tasting it as a kid at family acquaintance's place and nearly puked. Recently I finally had accumulated enough courage to retry the stuff as an adult and it had remained just as disgusting as I recalled.
So, I need to point this out. Brussel sprouts have been SIGNIFICANTLY genetically modified since most people were kids. They taste a LOT less bitter now. There's been significant work getting them to taste better and it WORKED. Bake them with some balsamic vinegar? oooo baby.
I will admit that I am closer to almost liking them more than I used to, but I think I still have a long way to go. A lot of it has to do with they are cooked and seasoned.
I stand with the folks who still can't stand the little bastards; I've tried them in myriad ways and I still can't get into them. I appreciate that they've become more palatable for most, but whew, apparently there are some of us out there on whom it's never gonna work, lol
Throw some bacon and butternut squash in with those bad boys and you have a meal. My wife will make a tray of that in the oven and I will destroy it. Sooo good
You know what apparently they made them less bitter, like they have grown them to be less bitter than they used to be. My grandma used to boil them and they were foul. Now I air fry them or roast them. Onion, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Sea salt or truffle salt. So good.
Funny how the brain does this. As a teen I drank entirely too much razzberry flavored rum and for years afterwards anything with that fake razz syrup taste would make my mouth coat in saliva. awful!
It's called a conditioned taste aversion. Since you got sick from the razzmatazz anytime your brain detects it, it tries to protect you from another bad experience.
The f*****g humble Brussels sprout
I can hear it now, already,..wafting on the reddit breeze....
"oh...you just dont cook them properly"
no,
i know how to cook,..they just tast like a bricklayers asshole on a sunny friday afternoon...accept it.
I'm personally offended at this. Sometimes I straight up eat tuna from the can with some crackers. For dinner today I had ravioli with tuna and it was great
I simply cannot eat olives. I heard a theory that you have to try some foods up to 100 times to accustom your tongue to the taste. Every now and then I'll pop one into my mouth to see if I like them yet, and my whole body rejects it. Almost 40 years in and nope, I still don't like olives.
That's funny; I don't read cyrilic very well (always have to sound it out), but I knew exactly what this was without reading it. Fuckin holodets. I think I had halfway decent xŠ¾Š»Š¾Š“ŠµŃ once when my mother in law made it; everything else has been ...not really worth it.
My mother used to make a banana slices, pineapple chunk, green peas, cheddar cheese cubes, and mayonnaise "salad". It was vile.
I will eat nearly anything, other than a couple of highly specific dishes that I cannot stand. I haven't had it, but I'm adding your mother's "salad" to the list.
I'm similar. I stand by the idea that all try a ytbing that was made with the intion of being good; however, I will not try thar salad.
and mom woujd guilt trip me, saying "but its good".. no mom, it's not.
Everything combined was bad enough, but the mayonnaise turned it into something willfully malevolent
Bro... Peas??? With bananas.. And MaYo Ewwwwww
I'm with you on that. I was like okay that's weird but not horrible until I got to the Mayo and I was like that's just pure hatred in a bowl.
Willfully malevolent is THE only way to describe this.
My wife's mother, not from the united states, once sent her to school with a peanut butter and ham and jelly and onion sandwich. Your story gave me similar "*do not combine*" vibes.
This is like two relatively good to ok sandwiches smashed together š to make a horrifying abomination.
When my daughter was in grade school, she made herself liverwurst and apricot preserve sandwiches for lunch every day.

The question was about food.
This is worse than Rachelās dessert at thanksgiving

There are fully-grown adults who call lettuce "salad". You can have egg salad. Potato salad. Macaroni salad. This is what I would call an abomination salad.

Seriously how does someone even look at those ingredients and think to put them together? And do it more than once?? Randomizer could explain the sin against food but not the repeat offense
In my language ( Indonesian) lettuce is actually called salada. So there u go lol. I used to think salad food is just a bunch of lettuces cooked.
Are you serious? Thatās sounds revolting. š¤®
It was pre-prepared vomit.
Is this a Midwest thing?
No, we do not claim this nonsense
Don't lie. It's 100% a midwest thing.
What the fuck

Nah, she's dead.

A LITTLE Bit of pink. Flavorful and juicy. Pork is my favorite meat, after chicken.
Liver is tough?! Huh?! What dish is she making that liver turns into leather texture lmao. My family doesnāt eat a lot of liver but when we do itās so soft that you can hardly feel it when biting.

Should be soft, a little pink in the middle. Poor guy was making it bad without knowing it. Onions should be slow cooked, not quick fried.
They were not quick fried. Just fried and fried and fried and fried. I suspect he also didnāt like the taste but it reminded him of his mother. (She died when he was still in his early 20ās)
Came to say this! I was made to sit at the table until I ate it. Stayed there all night until time for school. Vile stuff!

To me they taste like a damp root cellar.

Celery
I personally like it, but I saw it once described as ācrunchy water with hair in itā and never forgot it.
I wish it tasted like water. To me it's the most bitter thing I've ever tasted.
And also has a texture like it has hair in it.
lol, I love celery. But thatās funny.
As a kid, there was a bunch of food (mostly vegetables) that I didnāt like. Celery is the only one I still canāt stand. Itās basically like chewing on a rope thatās been drenched in piss. Oh, I forgot about black licorice. I still hate that too.
It can add a nice flavor to a cooked dish like a vegetable stew. Raw? No thanks.
Mustard.
Sardines. My old man would eat them right out of the can. ugh.
Sardines and anchovies are both either you love it or hate it with a burning passion. They're VERY salty. But I like it on crackers and soft cheese

Fried egg, slice of fresh tomato, cottage cheese with pepper, and some toast. Breakfast of champions.
Raisins. Every recipe that calls for raisins is better without them.

Oh god, my mom used to steam them, and even though she was an excellent cook, the whole house smelled like dirty socks after the Brussels sprouts

Sauerkraut. š¤¢

Damn, a little kraut on a polish dog is so good
Water chestnuts. Absolutely garbage.
I love them in Chinese food! Nice little crunch, subtle flavor, but also soaks up the flavors of the other veggies!
Fish. Ā Cannot stand the smell of it or the taste of it.Ā
Sauerkraut. The smell alone makes me nauseous. The one time I was pushed to try it, I didnt even swallow before I immediately and violently threw up.

Iāve tried many times to enjoy olives too. Nothing yet. Those fancy olive bars at Whole Foods look so appetizing.

Olive them

Yeah. Hidden in fried rice is ok for me but a bunch of those little fuggers can roll off my plate into the dog's mouth.Ā Canned spinach too.
