What are your Yuck and Yum foods?

What are the foods that make you wince? How about the ones that you can always count on?

Wildly enough, I used to be pretty flexible as a kid because of ADHD, but since getting a proper stimulant, I've become picky as hell. This is a problem, since I am a rather serious runner, and should probably know more about nutrition than I do, but since I haven't shown any deficiencies yet, I'm gonna keep on the way I'm going.

Foods I cannot get within a meter of:

  • meatloaf
  • mac n cheese (truly a shame, I know)
  • milk
  • protein shakes
  • any gooey dessert

Go-to meals:

  • uncrustables (arguably 50% of my diet)
  • egg and sausage sandwiches
  • any steamed veggie, but mostly broccoli and cauliflower
  • chicken nuggets
  • fries
  • beans and rice

I'd love to hear yours.

  • Food I like: pretty much anything crunchy

    food I dislike: anything soft, gooey, fishy, too sweet or not sweet enough 

  • Like

    Avocados, mangos,onions,salads, goat cheese,garlic bread,mac n cheese, chicken&rice&veggies,jam on toast,sourdough bread,pop tarts,kitkats,pastries,diet coke

    Don't like

    Parsnips,steak,pork,apple sauce,shepherd's pie,salmon

  • I don't like

    - hot and cold food at the same time or on the same plate.

    - fried food, especially chips, it all makes me feel bad and is not t great for my digestion 

    - very sweet things. I prefer savoury and struggle to drink things with sugar in them.

    - carbonated drinks, I can't burp so they just bloat you and they are too sweet. I don't get how people drink them. I don't see how people like Coke.

    Besides that I can eat just about anything. It is better if I like things, but it is not essential, food is mostly just calories to me. I need it.

    Mweekie xx

  • Yum:

    • Mac and cheese
    • Apple pies
    • Ice cream 
    • Lasagne 
    • Pizza

    Yuck:

    • Chicken nuggets
    • Hotdogs
    • Burgers
    • Onions 
    • Soup
  • Not very often I find it a real struggle and if I do I it’s the same place and the same dish….

  • I'm amazed at what people like and dislike.

    How many of you go out to eat in cafe's and restaurants? I almost never do as between allergies and stuff I don't like and being veggie I'd have to go to 3 different restaurants to get a 3 course meal I could eat. Pretty much all my food is cooked at home.

  • Love:

    Fish

    Squid/cuttlefish

    Paella/Biriyani and similar rice dishes

    Most curries

    Irish stew

    Tagine

    Pasta with tomato or cream sauces

    Kimchi

    Pizza, but only thin crust with olives and anchovies - pineapple is an abomination, even if I didn't have a food intolerance to it

    Hate:

    Anything dry served without a sauce

    Steak (OK if has large amount of sauce)

    Burgers - not real food

    Chicken nuggets - not real food

    Any greasy food that has to be picked up - ribs, chicken wings etc. horrible sensory issues with greasy fingers.

    Blancmange and all its ilk - texture problems

    Any fat that has not been incinerated to a crisp - texture again 

    Carrots - taste and texture - bearable when raw.

  • Yum:
    - Ground Beef  
    - Onions  
    - Sardines  
    - Blueberries  
    - Cashews  

    Yuck:
    - Cottage Cheese  
    - Alcoholic Beverages  
    - Sweets/Sugary Food  
    - Hotdogs
     
    On the whole, I tend to enjoy foods that are minimally processed and home cooked meals.

  • Me too although for some odd reason I can tolerate brown sauce although must be HP….not sure why? 

  • Somebody else that hates sauce!!! I get such weird looks for it. Although I can't even manage it on pizza.

  • I’m fairly tolerant of different foods and drinks, but two things trigger my gag reflex: beer and quinoa!

  • I never go to burger bars since finding out their veggie option arn't really veggie at all, because they're cooked on the same grill as the meat ones, they even coat thier chips in meat powder.

  • Love

    Ice cream

    Cookies

    Carrots

    Jam

    Honey

    Tomato soup

    Hate

    Cabbage

    Cauliflower

    Sprouts

    Pretty much all vegetables ^^

    Chicken

    Mushroom

  • Hi

    I am extremely picky and therefore a total nightmare for my family sometimes Sweat smile but there certain foods I can’t stand the sight and/or smell of and I definitely have my favourite go tos

    Hate Nauseated face:

    All kinds of soup and curries (Sorry but they just look and smell like sick to me face vomiting)

    Any type of sauce

    Onions

    Love Yum

    Pizza (Which i know technically has tomato sauce but as long as it's got a nice heavy coat of cheese I am absolutely fine)

    Battered Chicken and Fish (It has to be Battered or I can’t touch it)

    White Bread sandwiches

    Ice Cream (Yes, even in the winter)

  • Any mention of beetroot reminds me of the Kiwi Burger (New Zealand). It's even on the McDonalds menu over there. I like beetroot but I think in NZ was the only time I've had it since I was a kid.

  • Onions make me gag. Can't stand the texture. Really annoying as they are in so many things. If I miss one and it ends up in my mouth, I end up taking it out of my mouth no matter how nice the restaurant is.

    I love strawberries, sweetcorn, and have a sweet tooth.
