Tell 'em about the honey

[andy hughes]

I loathe honey with a passion. Everything - the smell of it, the look of it, the feel of it, obviously the taste of it, even spreading it on toast for my wife and daughter makes me feel nauseous. Does anyone else have a similar revulsion for any other kind of foods)?

Funnily enough Andy, I had the same adversion to the stuff for most of my life. Just couldn't not understand how people could eat that goo. A few year Mrs wildwood set me up, and I chomped away at one of her 'sweet salad rolls'. Now I quite like it :-)
Still can't stand beetroot though. The smell really does turn my stomach, never mind the taste.

Well, Hubby shares wildwood's disgust of beetroot, so I have to eat my cheese & beetroot sarnies in a seperate room. But my own stomach churner is offal in general but tripe in particular.....ugh! Gross.......

Artificial strawberry flavouring as used in sweets, milkshakes and instant whip makes me heave but I quite like strawberries - even pureed - as they taste completely different. Unfortunatey my wife despises strawberries and will only eat the artifical flavouring so strawberries arevery much the forbidden fruit in our house.

The smell of cold baked beans, heated no problem but when they are cold the smell and taste makes me wretch, it's the same with tinned sweetcorn.

I can't be doing with avocadoes, in any form at all. Also whole tomatoes, although I'm fine with ketchup, tomato soup, any kind of pasta sauce with tomato in it, sundried tomatoes, etc. The thought of either of these makes me feel positively ill. Fortunately, my partner loathes avocado as well, so that works out nicely :o)

I too cannot stand honey. I have no idea why people go mad for it, the same with strawberrys and grapes, I dont hate they but peole seem to treat them as if they are amazing. I also cannot stand the smell of cold baked beans, if I get some on my hands it makes me feel sick, having said that one of my all time favorite foods is beans on toast. As you can see I'm pretty fussy when it comes to foods. I also hate cheese of any kind which is a big problem, if you go somewhere to eat they seem to insist that your food has cheese on. For example I love mexican food but go into a mexican resturant and everything has cheese on. You read the description and it sounds great and at the end it says some thing like covered in melted cheese. Thats why I love Indian (so small amount of cheese dishes but nothing serious) and Chinese food, how many Chinese dishes can you name with cheese in.

I loved beetroot as a child, now i hate it with a passion. I hated tuna as a kid and couldn't get my nose anywhere near the tin, now i eat it like there's no tomorrow. Funny hey? (love honey by the way)

in a rash moment of bad parenting i gave my kids dairylea lunchables, they made lovely models with all the different bits but refused to acknowledge they were food, myself, i draw the line at seafood that still has eyes (one of mykids cried because an uncles meal was looking at them)

[answerbok]

Steak & kidney pudding and suet dumplings both make me boke. Chewing live yeast is a bit weird too.

Strawberries.... bleugh!! I like strawberry jam, but hate anything else strawberry-ey... ice cream, yoghurt etc etc. Has caused me some embarassment when people have been romantic and fed me them... :-) Funnily though, I like the smell of fake strawberries...candles and such like.

[tracymort]

my bloke won't eat mushrooms or fruit! the texture of fruit makes him gag. he'll eat apple pie at a puch aslong as the apple no longer resembles it's natural state in anyway!

[nona suomy]

Can't stand the texture of baked beans, skin on custard, and coconut (especially desicated) is the work of very baaaaaaad people. I'd rather eat sprouts mashed with beetroot AND honey than let coconut pass my lips. Strange that I love the smell though and Malibu doesn't count :o)
