Butter on bread.
Yes a small amount on toast, but not on bread.
No Jam or Marmalade at all thanks
Baked beans ruin cooked breakfast IMO.
I’ll take just about any accompaniment to dessert other than custard - traumatised since school days I think.
Baked beans ruin cooked breakfast IMO.
It's been genuinely therapeutic to realise I'm not alone!
BBQ sauce - as found on chicken in so many pubs and restaurants - far too sweet for me.
Just about any of the brassicas (can tolerate small amounts of the fluffy green bits, but wouldn't choose it from a menu.
Strong cheese - particularly Stilton - but love Edam, red Leicester, Monterey jack, Emmenthal etc.
Brown sauce. Why put vinegary molasses all over your food. If you do not like the taste of the food then eat something else
Love it on a Sunday roast (chicken) 😊

It's actually the grilled tomato in a cooked breakfast that breaks ma wee heart. Neither cooked - which is lovely, or fresh, which is also lovely - just sort of bullied and humiliated. I can't think of any other culinary setting where you'd treat a tomato like that an put it on someones plate.
Any raw fruit beginning with the letter T.
Trifle
It's like eating very sweet, chilled puke. Gopping stuff.
Tangerine?
Trifle
I think that's quite common. It's a very old fashioned dessert I suppose and I can understand how the texture of cold custard etc. can put people off. I really like it though. Shop bought trifle is rank, but a good homemade sherry trifle, with a thick layer of whipped double cream and homemade vanilla custard on top is great. I'm in a minority though. My wife hates it and my grown up kids gag at the very the sight of it. They just can't comprehend how anyone can like the "vile, cold, sliminess"!
Tangerine?
No, that is just a variety of Orange from Tangiers. Just like a Satsuma is also a variety of Orange, but from Japan.
Oranges are fine.
I’m absolutely with you on olives. They’re the devils chug-nuts
I try them periodically to see if my palette has changed but no, they still taste of washing up liquid
Spaghetti bolognaise for me. Can’t be arsed fighting with my food in an attempt to get it in my mouth.
And whipped cream is awful stuff, with you on the cream eggs too.
Any raw fruit beginning with the letter T.
Tomato
Garlic.
I don’t dislike it, I just don’t see the point in it.
Take an entire garlic and slice the top off, so each clove has the tip cut off.
Roast it, serve hot. Squeeze the now mushy/creamy cloves out through the hole onto whatever food you have. Mmmm.

I love trifle, but I'll be thinking of that next time. Thanks 🤢
Tomato
raw tomatoes were created by the devil to make oysters seem relatively palatable.
I hope the tomato haters are checking the right type. Tasteless supermarket toms? Try some with flavour, get the cherry "finest" "taste the difference" or whatever version and report back. Eat at room temperature, not cold.
The smell of tomatoes on the vine is heavenly.
The best toms we've ever had were on holiday in France somewhere, bought at the local market. Sun ripened and eaten at (French summertime) room temperature, we gorged on them!
Crushed avocado with a cooked breakfast - in fact with anything. Horrible greasy nastiness and has no place with nice fried food FFS...
Fish.
I'll only eat fish if it doesn't actually taste of Fish.
gravy.
This thread is definitely drawing all the wrong uns out of cover! 😄
I view most savoury dishes which have a sweet item added with total suspicion. As a small highlight in skilled hands it might just about pass my lips but general offerings of duck a la orange - who adds marmalade to game?, chicken with grapes - nope, gammon with pineapple - just not meant to be.
Crushed avocado with a cooked breakfast
I agree. A ****ing travesty.
Blackhat - you should try mackerel with gooseberries 🙂 Divine
Fish and Pasta are a big no for me, Tuna pasta is my idea of food hell!
I dont mid a bit of Cod now and again but most fish to me smells like cat food!
Pasta i just dont get, no real taste, you have to add loads of stuff to it to make it even remotely nice and if eating it on its own its just tasteless, boring and bland
Have to agree with others on Tomatos, basic supermarket ones are tasteless, under ripe and not worth the money
Now vine tomatos, nice and ripe are devine!
Calmac macaroni cheese. Lathering overcooked pasta in pints of yellow non-cheese flavoured gloop is bad enough; keeping it hot for hours under a grill to dehydrate it is another level. I was once asked if I'd "like an extra slice". I can only imagine its American in origin rather than Italian. Although to be American you'd have to put half a pound of sugar in it as well as that hideous 'American cheese' - which clearly is not cheese by any definition I'm aware of.
As a veggie, I always seem to end up eating it on ferries though. What's that all about?
A friend of mine was staying at a posh hotel for a wedding. The breakfast in the morning was cooked to order, not a buffet. My friend asked if he could have beans with his eggs, bacon, sausage etc etc and the waiter said ‘no sir, we’re not a transport cafe’ 😂 True story, sort of sums up baked beans for me.
gooseberries
They are quite divisive full stop are they not? I hated them as a kid, the taste but also the fact that they were hairy. Who eats hairy fruit ffs? I really like them now though and we grow our own. Homemade gooseberry fool is incredible. I like mackerel and I'd never even considered putting gooseberries with it. I'd give it a try though👍
Apple sauce (as in with pork) yet I love apples.
Cranberry sauce.
Agree with rice pudding, cheesecake, creme eggs, trifle, BBQ sauce and the smell of lamb cooking. Though I do like a nice grilled lamb chop.
Lurpak.
Hot chocolate.
My missus hates "warm" cheese (can smell it as an ingredient from a mile off) and eggs (their sole purpose is to be an ingredient in cakes).
Me, not a fan of olives, but I wouldn't say I hate them. I do have a "memory reaction" to curry having worked in India many years ago for a few extended periods and getting Dehli belly. The mere smell of it makes me feel unwell. Saying that, I'll still eat it to keep others company, just wouldn't choose it.
Mild dislike is as much as I can muster against food.
I like mackerel and I’d never even considered putting gooseberries with it. I’d give it a try though👍
Its a Grigson recipe. The acid tartness of the gooseberries cuts thru the oiliness of the fish. Its a 2+2=22 situation 🙂

You aren’t supposed to eat it without sauce/other flavours? Same as rice.
Crumpets. They feel weird in the mouth.
I don't mind pasta, but have never been wowed by any pasta dish, even in a restaurant. I can take it or leave it except....
If it's cold. Cold, sticky, starchy pasta makes me retch
Many, many, many things. I have issues. It's one of the reasons I like to cook, I have direct control over and knowledge of what I'm putting inside me.
Baked beans. Controversial I know. I’m probably the only one and it may well lead to my UK passport being revoked or something. I’ve tried, and tried but I just don’t like the taste or the texture.
This is a weird one for me. I like beans generally, I get through a good deal of canned spaghetti which is arguably "the same" except it's not, there's something off about baked beans which I can't quite identify. By any measure I should love them but I just can't.
Curry. Absolutely hate the stuff.
I'm struggling to parse this. It's like saying you don't like soup, or sauce. Curry is a food group in its own right, about the only thing a madras has in common with a korma is that it's runny and has veg/meat in it.
Try eating out, or grabbing some sort of ready to eat meal/sarnie as a veggie who doesn’t like mushrooms and can’t eat peppers
Cheese. I hate it, and I don’t understand why people feel the need to put it on *everything*.
I'm veggie and can't eat cheese. I feel your respective pains. The vegans have (ironically) buggered this up for me even more now that vegan cheese-a-like is a thing.
As a veggie, I always seem to end up eating it on ferries though. What’s that all about?
If you're going to be sick you might as well go all-in?
Pasta on its own is fairly bland but as has been said, you're supposed to have it with something. You also need to salt the cooking water quite a lot. With a young child I'm currently cooking salt free and it makes a massive difference to pasta dishes.
And I will echo that tomatoes need to be quality. Ripe, in season and room temperature or don't bother. If you can find some locally grown ones then they are night and day compared to cheap supermarket ones.
Chicken and grapes? Wtaf??
Another baked beans but not other beans hater here.
Bananas for me. Want to like them for all their good qualities but the texture, taste, smell are all massively disgusting. Also they ripen weirdly.
Also hate coconut apart from when it’s in a curry. Like eating suntan lotion.
Just off for a curry, a really hot curry 😊
Without a lager 😭
I'm one of the (apparently) rare people that loves lime pickle on the pickle tray
