Question 14
Name one common food item that you refuse to eat.
I Won't Eat It, You Can't Make Me
Jill Miller Zimon Pickles
Summer Lima beans! The mere thought of their grainy, beany texture makes my stomach lurch.
Mother Goose Mouse Celery. It makes my tongue numb. I shit you not.
ishouldbeworking cucumbers
Sleepless Mama Brussel sprouts. Does that count as common? No? Okay then. Gizzards. What do you mean that's not common either? They sell it at my grocery store right next to the chicken feet! Which I also refuse to eat.
Justice tofu
Kathryn, The Daring OneCanned greenbeans bring on an instant gag reflex. Frozen, fresh? Okay. Canned? I'd rather eat cow tongue.
nina Raw tomatoes.
hadashi eggplant. looks pretty, but smells/feels not so pretty when my digestive system cannot process it. sorry.
Just 'Beet' It
Carmen Cooked carrots - and beets. Sorry, I can't just name one. Both gag me.
Donna Beets. Can't stand 'em
Fungi
EverydaySuperGoddess Mushrooms.
Eulallia Mushrooms.
Jelly - Mushrooms. No fungus for me, thanks.
Snack Foods
Mazeway Raisins. filthy things.
Surcie Fat-free chips that contain Olestra. “Fecal leakage” with my French onion dip? No thanks.
cmhl Fig Newtons. Ick.
Condiments
Allison Mayonnaise
Mary Ketchup
Not ‘food’ technically…
Jenijen Boogers. Most of my kids eat them, but I have never been tempted.
Meat & Seafood
Lauren Eggs. The smell makes me queasy.
Maryanne Veal, it bothers me to think a baby animal is basically tortured so humans can enjoy it's meat.
Dawn liver
Buffi I won't refuse to eat anything. But I prefer to avoid lobster and crab. Yeah, I'm a cheap date
It May Be A Delicacy, But I'm Not Eating It
Barbex Sushi. I mean really, cold fish?
VickySushi. Albertans do not, as a rule, eat sushi. Not even on a dare. When I was growing up in Calgary we had ONE sushi restaurant in the whole city and only tourists ate there. Now that I'm in Vancouver everyone eats sushi but me. I'm a Pariah.
Are you going to eat that?
Lin This is very sad. I’m trying to think of one common food that I will not eat and I am coming up empty. I like liver, I like sardines, I'll even eat haggis.
MirUhhhhhh. I eat everything. I can't think of anything COMMON I'd refuse to eat.

Fried okra. When you live in Oklahoma, that IS a 'common food item'. Really.

Oysters. Y/U/C/K. And if that's not common enough, then mushrooms. Ditto with others on the fungus comment. Blech.
