I've never been able to tolerate eggs, partiularly egg white. And even the thought of fried eggs makes me feel sick!!!
As a child I felt pretty queasy about hot milk and cheese too, though I enjoy cheese now. My other used to fry a lot of things in lard, and I couldn't stand that either, and as mine were born in the 30's there wasn't much patience for any of this kind of finickiness.
Sometimes there are supermarkets that fry food here too. When that it is full swing, it can be very hard not to retch.
This was a childhood nightmare, it was served with some sort of tinned milk / cream.
Yes! I used to feel guilty that I wasn’t more appreciative of that as a treat. Especially as I knew it must have seemed like I was going ‘healthy stuff? I won’t be fooled thanks’. I still shudder to think of the oil on water inter mingling of the juice and the cream. And also mixed anything tends not to be great for me. So with that I was always thinking ok the pear bits I like, the cherries are fine, er that’s it. Hated the peach most of all, and the embalmed green grapes. And there would be randomly hidden hard bits. Just not nice.
When I make a trifle these days, I put only banana slices in - the rest is fused jelly and sponge. Fruit cocktail was always the downside of a trifle
It's not so much grapes I mind as whatever happens to them when they get stored in syrup. Something awful.
Shardovan I rather like grapes (the green ones), but agree with you about olives. The closest I've ever managed to get to eating an olive is using olive oil in a recipe, or occasionally when I fry something.
Fresh peach though is lovely. I wonder how they mange to make it taste so bland in those wretched tins?
The liquid was very sugary, adding cream was like pouring oil on water. Strange that was 40+ years ago and I still feel ill thinking about it.
Talking of grapes, olives. That taste and mouth feel is unbelievably bad. Some people love them.
