Does anybody have a food they can't stand?

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.

  • That photo brought back memories! In my American childhood fruit cocktail was always around. Ours had horrible shriveled grapes. We used to put it to set in jelly (or "jello" as we'd say there).

    My boyfriend and I went to a "posh" buffet in a hotel in Cyprus. They had beautiful cakes...and fruit cocktail in jelly. I was laughing, no American buffet of any level would include that as a dessert.
