Individual tastes
TimtamMar 04, 25
What food do you love that other people seem to think is odd?
Or what food do you loathe that others seem to love?
I really like coriander (aka cilantro for the US users) as do my sisters.
I use it a lot when making Thai dishes.
My adult 'kids' hate it, to them, it tastes like soap. (clearly their dad's gene's influencing it)
I can't stand olives or oysters, but they are both quite popular with others.
How about you ?
Do you have foods you love/ hate when many others seem to be the exact opposite?

                  When I was a kid there were a number of things I would not eat, now I like most things, only a few exceptions. I hate going out with one of my sisters as she only likes a few foods and a few restaurants.

                    Cilantro chicken is excellent, there are many foods I love, plain as bread is it is always around and very versatile. Some foods I dislike are from the meat and three vegetables days. I still hate boiled cabbage, fried spinach, they just turn my gut.

                      I am vegetarian so my food is relatively easy to prepare. I don't like olives though.

                                Not a fan of coriander. Cannot eat raw fish or oysters. Salmon is my favourite. I am pretty conservative with the food I eat. Not into rabbit or venison either.

                                  Olives. Yuck. I love mushrooms. In Australia I am finding a lot of takeaway food is being changed to add spices and this is spoiling the flavour of it. I used to buy Dominos pizza (ham and pineapple) then they put some type of spice in the tomato sauce and changed the flavour and made it slightly hot . It ruined it.

                                      Not into curry, makes me think of pencil shavings, nor coriander. Have a European Stomach so more into Hungarian Goulash either the soup or stewed variety which of course if by some miracle there are left overs can be turned into soup the next day by adding frozen vegetables and a nice slice of butter bread!

                                            Intensely dislike chili, curry, cumin, and retch-inducing coriander. Love celery and celery juice, and banana & honey sandwiches.

                                                  Can't stand ham and peas together. They're fine when they're apart. I know many people who love pea and ham soup though.

The taste of lettuce is the same as the smell of fly spray - but eating lettuce is worse than merely smelling fly spray because eating involves both taste AND smell.

I hate it when you order fries from a restaurant and they taste like fish. I've been told by staff they fry everything in the same oil, such as fried fish, so that's where the fish taste comes from. I have gotten a refund when fries taste like fish lol.
