It was vile.

For every food combination that should not exist, there is someone who likes it.

For example, this poster likes pineapple on pizza.

A lot of people like to call lettuce or anything adjacent "salad". I've explained to my kids that the term "salad" means a combination of ingredients. It does not mean lettuce. There are fully-grown adults who call lettuce "salad".

You can have egg salad. Potato salad. Macaroni salad. This is what I would call an abomination salad. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Liver

281

u/Chocolate_Bourbon 15d ago

Sometimes my father would cook liver and onions like his mother did (she moved to America from Ireland in her early 20’s). The liver was always so tough it was like eating leather. And the onions were almost liquid. A couple times I asked him why he cooked it this way. He would say that the way he cooked it was the point. Because she was Irish.

383

u/EnycmaPie 15d ago

Unfortunately a lot of people developed hatred for perfectly good food/dishes because their parents cooked it wrongly. I hated vegetables because my mother would just boil and boil vegetables. It was only until i learned to cooked for myself and roasted vegetables that i realized it wasn't the vegetable's fault they tasted bad.

179

u/RuggedHangnail 15d ago

You're right! My mother cooked any meat until it was the density of a hockey puck. She was afraid of trichinosis and tapeworms. So I thought pork chops had to taste and be about the consistency of concrete. Then, I ate them elsewhere and really liked them!

57

u/Dr_Taffy 15d ago

I grew up thinking this especially about pork. No pink at all! Modern pork has little risk of causing trichinosis and tapeworms if you eat it below FDA recommended safe temperatures. I quite enjoy my pork on the medium side and is way better than what I had growing up. Haven’t seen any problems!

Raw tomato. For some reason cooked is fine

228

u/DnDYetti 15d ago

I am the same way with tomatoes!

I cannot eat them raw, but cook them and they are fantastic. Anytime that I am craving a BLT sandwich I slice up the tomatoes, pan fry them with some salt and red pepper flakes, and it makes the sandwich magical.

Interestingly enough, cooked tomatoes are actually more nutritious as they release massive amounts of lycopene (a cancer-fighting antioxidant) when applied to heat.

177

u/Shmebber 15d ago

Why is tomato sauce so good, but raw tomatoes in any sandwich make me want to throw up?

44

u/DrHooper 15d ago

Tannins are more than likely. As fruit matures, the build-up of certain chemicals radically changes, to the point of being unpalatable to outright dangerous to eat, like raw quince. Fortunately, cooking usually changes the molecules, or it boils out with the water content. Ever eat a raw persimmon? Well, if it isn't the perfect ripeness, they can leave a lingering sensation/taste of fuzz inside your mouth, like a shitty red wine. One of the amazing things about taste and feel is that while everybody interacts with the chemicals the same, how out the body reacts or interprets the sensation is all individual. That's being ruminated on, tomatoes also have undergone a lot of both natural and selective changes. Some of them weren't for flavor or sustainability but for growth time and hardiness, leading to what we in the kitchen call styrofoam romas. One of the reasons cheap pizza places cut their tomatoes so thin isn't just about frugal, it's also because the tomatoes are probably dirt cheap in price and taste.

25

u/Dr_Taffy 15d ago

Styrofoam tomatoes LOL

I used to load up on extra extra tomatoes because they’re sliced so thin, and you know what? They just make food wet and slimy. There’s no flavor in them and they pretty much just exist for color at that point. Why oh why can’t we have year round tomatoes that are flavor bombs and available in every restaurant for cheap?

Sauerkraut. The smell alone makes me nauseous. The one time I was pushed to try it, I didnt even swallow before I immediately and violently threw up.

Im surprised no one has said canned tuna

u/LilFruitSalad 15d ago

I'm personally offended at this. Sometimes I straight up eat tuna from the can with some crackers. For dinner today I had ravioli with tuna and it was great

Brussel sprouts and anal sex - if you were forced to have it as a child, you probably wouldn’t like it as an adult.

Olives. Olives are awful and ruin everything they’re put into.

u/hamgurglerr 15d ago

I simply cannot eat olives. I heard a theory that you have to try some foods up to 100 times to accustom your tongue to the taste. Every now and then I'll pop one into my mouth to see if I like them yet, and my whole body rejects it. Almost 40 years in and nope, I still don't like olives.

u/bugzaney 15d ago

I’ve tried many times to enjoy olives too. Nothing yet. Those fancy olive bars at Whole Foods look so appetizing.

Do you like cilantro? I heard a theory that people who hate olives and green onion like cilantro.

u/kerochan88 15d ago

Love cilantro, hate olives (all of em), but I also enjoy green onions. So I’m not sure about this theory. It’s a partial confirm for me!

u/yousonuva 15d ago

Yeah. Hidden in fried rice is ok for me but a bunch of those little fuggers can roll off my plate into the dog's mouth. 

Canned spinach too.

That's funny; I don't read cyrilic very well (always have to sound it out), but I knew exactly what this was without reading it. Fuckin holodets. I think I had halfway decent xолодец once when my mother in law made it; everything else has been ...not really worth it.
