I don’t mean the often-divisive stuff like Marmite, but is there an everyday food that you dislike so much that you do not or cannot eat it?
I’m like that with cucumber.
Even the smell really starts me off and it’s odd because I adore melon of all different sorts which I’m told is very similar, but there’s no way can I eat cucumber and if it’s been mixed into a salad or anything else that would then taste of cucumber as a result, I then can’t eat that either.
So no supposedly-posh crustless little cucumber cucumber sandwiches for me, thank you very much.
Isn’t it strange how smells can do that because I’m the same if I smell cucumber.
It’s not for any reason that I know of either; I mean I was never force-fed the stuff or anything so it’s a puzzle.
Oh, I know exactly why I hate lamb and mutton so much. It’s all down to my ex-MiL who used to roast the Sunday joint on Saturday morning then not reheating the meat just before plating up on a Sunday lunchtime. And she used to use the lamb dripping to make the gravy with and when that cooled down you could see globules of fat floating on your plate :yuck:
I was advised only on Tuesday, by someone who needs the skin taken off cucumbers the same as yourself, that the miniatures cucumbers don’t require that as they don’t cause indigestion. No idea why but that’s what she reckons.
I’ve not heard that one before, sounds quite nice though. One I do know about, through family, is that cold Brussels sprouts with salt, pepper and vinegar tastes good. There’s never any left for me to try that, they all seem to disappear for some reason.
