Pumpkin spice. It’s fine, but absolutely not anything to make a fuss about
Mint flavored drinks or candy. I like some mint gum or a peppermint but it’s disgusting in actual food
Hearts of palm
Those dry ass Walmart sugar cookies
Raw oysters 🤢
Kombucha
Those multicolored cookie things that everyone was making into cakes or something for a while? Macaroons? I don’t think I’ve ever had one that tasted good. They’re pretty, but that’s it.
Truffles… WTF?…. Tastes like leaf mold mixed with aged compost and everybody’s like oooooohhh… it’s expensive so I love it…….nobody needs truffle oil on their French fries damn it
Energy drinks like Red Bull or Monster
Caviar
Chick-fil-A. I had a sandwich. Is was… okay, but that’s about it.
Matcha! It tastes funny!
Nutella
Wings. Lotta work and mess for nibbles of wet meat
Well people are following the assignment, because this is just a big list of foods I like
Nutella. It’s just ok.
Kale.
Crumbl Cookies
Kale. I never understood what people saw in it.
Hot Cheetos or takis. Anything with the artificially colored spicy powder
Licorice!! Tried it for the first time about 2 years ago. Gulped it down in front of people, all the while fighting the urge to spit it out. Yucckkk
Crab Legs. What a messy, expensive, pain in the neck food.
The McRib 🤮
Riced cauliflower
Can it be a beverage? Cause I kind of hate IPAs but everyone else seems to love them – and I like beer, just not IPAs.
Nutritional yeast.
It does NOT taste like cheese. It smells like what I imagine an early to mid severity case of trench foot would.
Foie gras. Fucking gross. Texture is rotten, flavor is no bettor, plus the animal suffers for it?? No thank you.
Hero on a Half-Shell. Oysters. 🦪 🤮
Alcohol. I was raised Mormon, but left later in life. I enjoy food, but I cannot adjust to the flavor of alcoholic beverages. I am especially adverse to beer and wine. The only mixed drink I’ve enjoyed are bloody Mary’s and bloody Ceasars.
Kombucha 🤮
Aussie here. Oreos….meh, there’s plenty of way better biscuits around
Alcohol. It tastes terrible.
Macarons. Over-sweet, gummy little cookies.
And biscotti. Over-priced, stale, dried-out cookies.
Yuck.
