Cooked spinach, the most disgusting smelling thing on earth, raw is great on salads and as a sandwich topping instead of lettuce but cook it and dump vinegar on it and it is just vile!
Sushi, ok come on now, who in their right mind sat up one day and thought it would be a great idea to eat raw fish, barf.
Seaweed, its a friggen weed, I don't eat crabgrass either!
Headcheese, man you don't even need to know what it is to not want to eat that!
Any fruit drink that says it is 10% real fruit juice, well what the hell is the rest? Cat juice, do you have Alf working for you?
Fried okra, anything that looks like that after it has been cooked gets thrown out in my kitchen!

Sushi definitely - can never wrap my brain around why people would want to eat raw fish and I agree with you on the cream cheese. Hotdogs definitely need to be beef or pork but luckily no one here has ever come up with the idea of having any other sausage on a hotdog roll.

I'm with you all the way on ketchup and eggs. i hate ketchup anyway. I was at school with a boy who, as a baby was the first one in our area of England to be treated with penicillin. He had a problem with his legs too!

Anything slimy. Tomatoes, okra, etc. Tomato sauce is fine, ketchup is fine, I can even take okra in gumbo if it's spicy enough. My grandmother used to cook okra and tomatoes to eat over rice. It's the closest I've ever come to throwing up at the table.

dude, i thought *I* was a picky eater. but now, i know i'm not.

my big food ick is vegetables. i just can't stand the texture of most veggies. gack!

There's this phillipine ketchup-like sauce called Banana sauce - it's red and comes in a ketchup bottle. It's by the Jufran company. Great stuff, and it works on hotdogs. But not eggs. That's for tabasco or crystal hot sauce. I mean, come on.

But sushi - dang, folks, you need to get you some good sushi. I don't know who's idea it was but it is working out very nicely for me.

i like orange juice, but not oranges. it's a texture thing, which is why i can't take oj w/pulp. gag...

most veggies; brussel sprouts, asparagus, etc. just too bitter. again w/the texture.

i can't stand eggs. they are disgusting no matter how they are prepared. do you know how hard it is to eat breakfast at a restaurant if you don't like eggs? i would say what they remind me of but then i may be responsible for readers not eating eggs anymore either.

there are tons of others, but maybe i'll just steal your blog idea & write about it on mine.

I want to know which American spread the myth that sushi is raw fish. "Sashimi" is raw fish, and "sushi" refers to the seasoned rice. Sushi can have cooked fish (like broiled eel, my favorite), fake crab (California roll), or no fish product at all (kappa maki, cucumber roll). Also, seaweed contains iodine and other minerals not found in our soil. Because it's a weed, it's a great renewable resource. I see organic dandelion greens at the store...

~simply stated, sour cream rules.~

pink lotus: holy cow! i didn't know that! hmmm. might be worth a try.

Stacey, I know you'd like seaweed if you tasted it in my miso soup. Mmmm...

Anything to do with tomatoes will send me in the opposite direction. When I was about 3 or 4 I was served tomato soup at a babysitter's house. I got a bloody nose and it dripped into my soup. I have never eaten it after that. The smell or sight of any kind of tomato sauce makes me very queasy.
I won't eat raisins because a classmate used to eat dead flies off the window sill cause she thought they were raisins.
Parsnips (in the carrot family) have the most suffocating smell when they are being cooked.
Milk grosses me out. Body fluids from other animals = icky.

But - I LOVE ketchup on hashbrowns. Sorry. I even used to put ketchup on my scrambled eggs when I was a kid. I don't really know why. It was gross. Sour cream is good with beef and cream cheese - I could pick up the whole brick and just start knawing around on it.

All in all, I'm am not a picky eater.

Tuesday: i don't think *i'll* ever eat raisins or tomato soup again. ewwwww.

lol, sorry.
