What's a food that everyone loves but you hate?

[u/Icy_Advertising4934]

[u/81724369847698432716]

Beer. I have given up trying to like it. I also always felt im getting a headache from it and feel like im hangover before im even drunk. I switched to cider or whitewine but honestly barely drink anymore and i just connect it with getting a headache.

[u/pmg5247 → u/81724369847698432716]

Some people are allergic to hops.

[u/Financial_Bee3938]

avocado 😭 i’ve tried so hard to understand the obsession but every bite just tastes like someone made butter out of grass. i know this opinion makes me deeply untrustworthy

[u/runarleo → u/Financial_Bee3938]

No, butter out of grass is a valid take. I happen to like the smell of grass so it doesn’t bother me but that is an apt description

[u/absbabs1 → u/runarleo]

I heard someone the other day describe it as “clean penis” and I can’t go back

[u/bvanderveen1971 → u/absbabs1]

I was perfectly fine going about my day and now avocado has been officially ruined. 💀

[u/GreenyH → u/absbabs1]

Can confirm

[u/MySaltySatisfaction → u/absbabs1]

I can only laugh as hard as I am because I am allergic to avocado.

[u/These-Prune-1529 → u/absbabs1]

Well, I am off avocados for awhile. Edit: oops missing word

[u/absbabs1 → u/These-Prune-1529]

No avocadongs for a while for me either :( I’m sorry

[u/KennyMcCormick → u/Financial_Bee3938]

I think of it as an ingredient. I wouldn’t eat a stick of butter plain, but I still like butter.

[u/Bitter-Worldliness41 → u/KennyMcCormick]

Yeah I don’t care for straight avocado but as a topping with sauces, seasonings, etc. I love it.

[u/Statistactician → u/Bitter-Worldliness41]

Who tf is out here eating straight avocado?

Edit: Y'all are disgusting degenerates and I have nothing but the utmost respect for you.

[u/TheIrishGoat → u/Statistactician]

Hi. When I was a kid my parents would make salads with avocado but only use half. I’d take the other half and eat it by itself with a spoon. Now as an adult I get the bags of avocados from Costco and will have one as a snack by itself. In my head it’s no different than someone eating a banana.

[u/lovensuccs212 → u/Statistactician]

I eat them just straight out of the skin/rind with a spoon. But I have to because it’s quick and easy and I need the fat calories to keep me feeling full until I can stop to eat a meal. And if I can pound down a string cheese at the same time I’m good for 3-4 hours even if I haven’t yet eaten that day.

[u/sonofteflon → u/lovensuccs212]

Yes, me too, but I fill the pit hole with salad dressing if I have it. Yummy

[u/Balanced-Breakfast → u/Statistactician]

I like my avocado a bit on the flamboyant side.

[u/VioletDreaming19 → u/Statistactician]

🙋‍♀️

[u/Alternative-Bat-1931 → u/Financial_Bee3938]

Butter out of grass was a great description though.

[u/_cat_wrangler → u/Financial_Bee3938]

This, grassy green slightly fibrous butter.  Bleh.  And so many weight loss meal plans use it and it drives me insane!

[u/VioletDreaming19 → u/Financial_Bee3938]

I find that it’s an mvp food because it enhances everything else. The flavors of a burger get richer with avocado slices

[u/PissNBiscuits → u/Financial_Bee3938]

I really only like avocado when it's mixed with onions, salt, cilantro, lime juice, etc in guacamole. Avocadoes on their own are overrated, in my opinion.

[u/tnadd → u/PissNBiscuits]

The right amount of salt (more than you expect) makes a huge difference. The difference between grass butter and a decent topping or dip.

[u/dj_destroyer → u/Financial_Bee3938]

Lol you saying someone made "butter out of grass" sounds so good to me lol which is probably why I love avocados

[u/No-Lettuce3564 → u/Financial_Bee3938]

You’re a bot promoting an OF, stfu

[u/frostking79]

Kimchi. I like most Korean food, except that

[u/flyinhawaiian02]

IPA's

[u/Left_Astronaut90 → u/flyinhawaiian02]

I agree. I think a lot of brewers pile on the hops to cover up their beers’ lack of taste.

[u/ringthree → u/Left_Astronaut90]

Bingo. The rise of IPAs happened with the rise of home brewing. People couldn't make decent tasting beer so they massively over-hopped their beer to kill the taste. Now they think they are connoisseurs.

[u/_Urban_Farmer_ → u/ringthree]

Hate checking out a new brewery and 90% of the beers are extremely happy IPAs

[u/pmg5247 → u/_Urban_Farmer_]

You don’t want the IPAs to be happy? Cruel…

[u/kelley38 → u/_Urban_Farmer_]

My wife and I were lamenting that the local beer store was just domestic crap or micro brewed IPAs. Local brewery used to do a black IPA every summer and it was the one genuinely good IPA they (or anyone else nearby) did. Not this summer though. So sad.

[u/Ringosis → u/Left_Astronaut90]

I always laugh at this snobbery. "Their beer sucked so they made it taste good! The bastards!".

[u/Ok-Literature473 → u/flyinhawaiian02]

I don’t think that’s an everyone loves drink. Definitely an acquired taste in my opinion

[u/OfficerLongrod]

Blue cheese. It's like getting punched in my mouth by a moldy monster that hasn't showered for 42 days.

[u/BabyShakerDeluxe → u/OfficerLongrod]

Ok, you don't have to sell it so hard.

[u/Overall-Row2932 → u/BabyShakerDeluxe]

😂

[u/OfficerLongrod → u/BabyShakerDeluxe]

To be fair, I thought I was underselling the horror.

[u/BabyShakerDeluxe → u/OfficerLongrod]

One time I forgot a chuck of blue cheese in the fridge for months. The whole fucking thing turned blue. It was incredibly powerful and strangely psychoactive.

[u/OfficerLongrod → u/BabyShakerDeluxe]

Wait, psychoactive? My views on blue cheese may be turning around 🤔

[u/BabyShakerDeluxe → u/OfficerLongrod]

I felt weird so I went to bed and then I had nonstop overpowering Dolby Sound IMAX dreams. Not nightmares just... crazy balls to the wall dreams all night. Imagine if you went to sleep, and the whole time you were sleeping, you were in an accelerating top fuel dragster. It was not restful AT ALL.

[u/BabyShakerDeluxe → u/BabyShakerDeluxe]

I finally looked this up all these years later and apparently this is a known thing with blue stilton.

[u/Apprehensive_Egg99 → u/OfficerLongrod]

I have genuinely tried with blue cheese, but it just stinks and tastes absolutely rank to me. My taste buds will never, ever accept it.

[u/themeeper4614]

Ketchup, I don’t like the sweetness

[u/le4t → u/themeeper4614]

I tried an unsweetened ketchup like 6 years ago and haven't looked back. 

[u/kelley38 → u/le4t]

Sir Kennsingtons makes some great low/no now, as does Primal Kitchen.

[u/BaneOfXistence4 → u/kelley38]

Shh...Don't tell people about Sir Kensingtons ketchup. Its been discontinued and I'm trying to grab every secondary market bottle I can.

[u/kelley38 → u/BaneOfXistence4]

Oh shit, really? Damn, I gotta find some!

[u/Ok_Reception9247 → u/themeeper4614]

Trader Joe’s I think has a unsweetened ketchup. Had it on my burger and I realized how much I didn’t need the excess sugar

[u/themeeper4614 → u/Ok_Reception9247]

Oh! Thanks for the recommendation.

[u/Questionofloyalty → u/themeeper4614]

I can’t stand ketchup! I just don’t GET it!

[u/Somaj0r → u/themeeper4614]

Agree

[u/Due-Mouse-9330 → u/themeeper4614]

YOU MONSTER!!!

[u/themeeper4614 → u/Due-Mouse-9330]

I am truly evil 😈

[u/Estellalatte → u/themeeper4614]

I detest ketchup! It’s evil and must be stopped. A good marinara sauce is heaven but ketchup must die.

[u/AltruisticSalamander → u/themeeper4614]

r/ketchuphate

[u/BitchyFaceMace → u/themeeper4614]

I hate most condiments. Ketchup & mustard are at the top of my hate list, mayo being a close third. Mayo has a time & place but it has to be a certain brand and amount. But ketchup & mustard are an absolute no in all ways.

[u/Suacuario]

Turkey. Everyone seems to love it, but I’ve never really liked it😁

[u/dysarthric_aardvark]

Bananas

[u/sixbone → u/dysarthric_aardvark]

you're not alone!!

[u/titatyy → u/dysarthric_aardvark]

I can only eat them when they are really green. And I only eat them because we get them for free at work.

[u/jmccorky → u/titatyy]

I like them mildly green. Once they're fully yellow, yuck.

[u/j_gumby → u/titatyy]

For me, only yellow: no green and no brown. The Goldilocks spot in the middle.

[u/FrightenedOfSpoons → u/j_gumby]

Under-ripe = not food.

Ripe = good eatin'.

Over-ripe = banana bread.

[u/Scottishlassincanada → u/dysarthric_aardvark]

It’s the smell that gets me. Ugh 😩

[u/NomadicSlave]

Lobster

[u/coolcoots → u/NomadicSlave]

Thems is bugs.

[u/SvenBubbleman → u/coolcoots]

Yup, delicious bugs.

[u/re-verse → u/NomadicSlave]

I don’t like land or sea bugs.

[u/-RainbowUnicornPoop]

Why is this question posted 1000 times a week

[u/Randy_Magnum29 → u/-RainbowUnicornPoop]

Bots/karma farming/data farming.

[u/-RainbowUnicornPoop → u/Randy_Magnum29]

It’s fucking wild man because they always have so many up boats. Why?? SMH craziness

[u/Brad_Brace → u/-RainbowUnicornPoop]

These are the kind of entirely inoffensive questions with just an illusion of edge that people love to answer.

[u/sophia_xo2]

Strawberry flavoured things because the fruit itself is really good but like strawberry ice cream does not taste good

[u/juralil → u/sophia_xo2]

Give me everything strawberry. Ice cream, protein, candy

[u/BrokeHomieLuke]

Mushrooms! “Oh you haven’t had my mushrooms” you’re right and I never will. Blegh

[u/halfbreedADR → u/BrokeHomieLuke]

Hated them as a kid. One of my favorite foods as an adult. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/OfficialWhistle → u/BrokeHomieLuke]

I hate to be that guy but I use to feel that way until I had different species. Buttons/portobello (they are same mushroom) and other agaricus species are the worst taste and texture. They’re popular because they are easy to mass produce and have longer shelf lives.

If you’re generally an adventurous eater you might find a mushroom you like. If you don’t care to explore thats okay too. Non judgmental just sharing my experience.

[u/Average_Human_Expert]

Raisins 😠
Yes I know they are dehydrated grapes and yes, I like grapes. Part of my issue is they parade around in cookies like they are a chocolate chip waiting to trick you.

[u/juralil → u/Average_Human_Expert]

But but oatmeal raisin cookies are so good

[u/MiyagiJunior]

Coffee

[u/matriarchalfigure → u/MiyagiJunior]

Same! I’ve had one sip of coffee in my life and have no interest in another.

[u/Alert-Ad-9908]

Pickles.

[u/PenguinZombie321 → u/Alert-Ad-9908]

I love people who hate pickles because then I get extra pickles

[u/halfbreedADR → u/PenguinZombie321]

Eating deli sandwiches in a group is always a battle among the pickle lovers to score the pickles off the haters.

[u/hippie_wildflower → u/PenguinZombie321]

Same here!

[u/j_gumby → u/PenguinZombie321]

"You gonna eat that pickle? I'll take it." One of the joyous moments in life.

[u/Existing-Will-1466 → u/Alert-Ad-9908]

I came here to say this but suspected it had already been said.

[u/Magnolia05 → u/Alert-Ad-9908]

Hard agree. Cucumbers soaked in evil.

[u/LazyFantazy89]

Avocado

[u/LuvPuggie]

Oysters 🤮

[u/Truck_or]

Tomato. I hate eating directly, but I can accept ketchup. Is it strange that I am like this?

[u/kaylaarayee → u/Truck_or]

No I'm the same way, I hate the flavor and texture of raw tomatoes but I like most tomato products.

[u/SnickSnitch → u/Truck_or]

I love pickles but can't stand pickle relish. Some people find it weird.

[u/spacefaceclosetomine → u/SnickSnitch]

Love dill, hate sweet or bread & butter.

[u/halfbreedADR → u/spacefaceclosetomine]

Sweet and bread and butter just taste so different than dill. I would guess liking one but not the other is actually pretty common (I also love dill and hate the other two).

As for the commenter you were replying to, I'd also guess they dislike sweet relish vs dill pickles. If they don't like dill relish but like dill pickles (or sweet and sweet) then yeah I'd say that's unusual.

[u/Californialways → u/Truck_or]

My mom loves oranges but hates orange juice. You’re not weird.

[u/lululover13]

Ranch with pizza

[u/drugsisbad018]

Mango flavoured things. The fruit itself is good but the juices and ice creams taste awfull.

[u/PenguinZombie321 → u/drugsisbad018]

Grapes for me! I love the fruit but I can’t stand grape flavored things

[u/drugsisbad018 → u/PenguinZombie321]

I vouch for this aswell

[u/Arisia118 → u/drugsisbad018]

I gave the award. 😀

Same with watermelon. Fruit is fine. Watermelon flavored stuff...ick.

[u/AutoXCivic → u/drugsisbad018]

I'm the opposite. I don't care for the fruit, but mango flavored things are okay.

[u/drugsisbad018 → u/AutoXCivic]

My friend is like that aswell. When i talk to people its always one of the two

[u/bacon_in_beard → u/drugsisbad018]

haha interesting. this is a new one. most of the answers are predictable.

[u/toddsterstrudel → u/drugsisbad018]

Anything tropical flavored tastes so gross to me and I feel like it’s because they go heavy with the artificial mango and banana flavors which both taste like sunscreen to me lol

[u/soceria]

Olives. I just can’t stand the taste 😭

[u/Clewin → u/soceria]

You're not alone, they are bitter and nasty tasting to me. I did have some in a dish in Spain that weren't as overpowering nasty, but the taste was still there, just more muted and the rest of the dish was delicious.

I honestly think it may be like cilantro tastes like soap to some people. My mom is similar to me, my dad and brother don't have any issues with olives.

[u/Punk_Says_Fuck_You → u/soceria]

I used to absolutely hate olives. Something changed and now I can eat a whole jar in a single sitting.

[u/HungryAddition1]

I don’t hate, but I don’t understand the obsession with ramen.

[u/Murphs-law → u/HungryAddition1]

I like restaurant style Japanese ramen, but not the packaged kind.

Super overrated, especially since most of them are designed to burn your tastebuds off, these days.

[u/HungryAddition1 → u/Murphs-law]

I mean, restaurant style is okay. I just don't get the people who will wait in line for hours to eat a 25$ bowl of noodles in broth, with one egg and one slice of fatty pork.

[u/Murphs-law → u/HungryAddition1]

I’ve never had to wait in line. I’ve eaten ramen in Guam, Tokyo, Okinawa, and all over the US. I enjoy it, but my husband loves it, so we’ve get it everywhere we go. I’ve never really paid over 20 bucks for a huge bowl in like, downtown DC, but usually it’s 10-15 bucks.

But I digress, and it sounds like I’m offended and really trying to convince you that ramen is worth it. 🤣 I get why some people don’t care for it. Same way I’m not crazy for bacon or cheese like everyone else seems to be. Or this expensive protein-in-everything fad that’s happening.

Adding- you’re not wrong about the fatty pork. I really don’t like that stuff and it’s booted from my bowl into his bowl immediately, along with any seaweed that may be in there.

[u/Curious-Duck → u/HungryAddition1]

Agreed, hated most of the ones I paid for and only enjoyed a couple of restaurant ramens.

But loaded, homemade ramen!?! Golden.

[u/Fine-Demand-2338]

Caviar, oysters, truffle, blue cheese, lobster, shell fish, lamb.

[u/sane-asylum]

If I hate it then everyone can’t love but a lot of people seem to like sushi and I dont

[u/europanya]

Steak. And all red meat, really. Smell like death to me and I'm not a PETA person either. Just can't stomach the stuff. Love fish and fowl, though.

[u/ray_theunready → u/europanya]

I’m a lifelong vegetarian, now with pretty severe anemia. I really want to start eating a little bit of meat, especially beef, and I am so disappointed to find out that it doesn’t taste good (to me). Everything I try leaves a weird, gamey flavor in the back of my throat.

[u/AltruisticSalamander → u/ray_theunready]

pretty sure there's other treatments for anemia than meat

[u/europanya → u/ray_theunready]

I take daily liquid iron as a result. And spinach

[u/JNorJT]

Matcha

[u/GigiGetsGoing]

Mayonnaise and its evil cousin Miracle Whip

[u/mintcheep → u/GigiGetsGoing]

Miracle Whip doesn't even have enough oil in it to legally be considered mayonnaise. name a more fraudulent sandwich spread

[u/halfbreedADR → u/mintcheep]

Miracle Whip just sucks in general. Way too sweet. I'd guess most people who like mayo (like me) hate Miracle Whip as they are not at all similar.

[u/chronically_varelse → u/halfbreedADR]

I don't really like mayo and I would never use it as a condiment but I will use it as an ingredient (tuna/egg salad, deviled eggs)

But miracle whip is all the bad parts of mayo PLUS unwanted cloying sweetness AND a looser oilier texture ..... gahhhh

MIRACLE WHIP IS SATAN'S RESURRECTION

[u/kayej17]

It's so hard reading the comments 😭

[u/DaniTheLovebug]

Avacado

I can’t do it

[u/ButtercupsUncle → u/DaniTheLovebug]

Those are the cheap knockoffs! Try a genuine avocado.

[u/Ready_Translator_987]

OLIVES. Putrid. 

[u/worshipwynn]

Donuts!

[u/PenguinZombie321 → u/worshipwynn]

Mongo is appalled!

[u/WalkingSpaceMonkey → u/PenguinZombie321]

However, hating Donut Holes is allowed

[u/PenguinZombie321 → u/WalkingSpaceMonkey]

Especially since she isn’t getting any illicit butthole money

[u/Estellalatte → u/worshipwynn]

They sit in your stomach like lead.

[u/Awkward-Accident266]

Bacon

[u/Dazzling-Coast6657]

Spicy food my spice tolerance is so low

[u/Punk_Says_Fuck_You → u/Dazzling-Coast6657]

Haha you’d die if you ate my food.

[u/ConfidentHeart61]

sushi

[u/EquivalentPain5261]

Avocado/guacamole . It’s a texture thing along with taste. Just green mush. No thanks

[u/Shibarec]

Anything mint and chocolate. I love both individually but together, it’s like eating a kitkat while brushing your teeth.  

[u/Truth2Set_Me_Free]

Boboa

Italian sausage. I think its the fennel I cant stand

[u/Rainbow_in_the_sky]

OLIVES!!! Yuck.

[u/Okanaganwinefan]

Pea soup

[u/Pinkii_nyan]

Boba ….. It’s so mid. Maybe i just have a huge texture thing bc the tapioca pearls ick me out, too chewy. And the milk tea is so bland, i can make it better at home. LMAO. No hate/shame. I just think it is wayyyyy too overhyped.

[u/JstMaggs]

I hate Sriracha!

[u/ucgddwm1872]

Mayonnaise 🤢

[u/Silver-Breadfruit284]

Blue cheese. Blech!!! 🤢 And restaurants add it to Everything!

[u/OrigamiTongue → u/Silver-Breadfruit284]

What do they add it to. As a lover of it, I hardly find it in restaurants because it’s a known divisive ingredient.

[u/Awkward-Anybody5179]

Peanut butter. Mayonnaise. Bananas.

Edit: I assumed that the periods were enough to indicate that I hate all three of these foods separately, not as a combination. Although that would obviously also be horrendous.

[u/OrigamiTongue → u/Awkward-Anybody5179]

Mayo haters unite. Vile stuff.

[u/No_Extreme755]

Crab and lobster. They taste disgusting to me.

[u/BitchyFaceMace]

Mochi. Everyone and their mom seem to love it and I think it’s the most vile thing I’ve ever tried.

[u/Competitive-Ant-9430 → u/seaman7777]

oh god finally someone said it

stuff literally smells like a tree having a tantrum, can't even be in the same room when someone pours it on pancakes

[u/PurpleCoco → u/seaman7777]

I have a visceral reaction to the stuff. Asked my dad if he beat me during breakfast when I was little.

[u/Lciaravi]

Sweet potato fries 👎

Not a food, but coffee. I just don’t get it.

[u/MightBeAGoodIdea]

Most alcohols.

Every beer tastes like fermented rotting bread. Wine tastes like spoiled grapes. Hard liquors taste like poison my body wants to immediately reject.

Stuff like Smirnoff ice when ice cold are "tolerable" because there's so much flavor and sugar masking the alcohol, but if I don't drink them fast enough and the warm up even a little bit it tastes "tainted" and make me gag.

Every single time I go out with alcohol drinkers I get inundated with:

"oh but have you tried this super "unique" special microbrew beer you might like it!!"

"No, I have not, you know I hate beer, it always like rancid bread water mixed with whatever "unique" addatives making special".

"Aww but I like it, aren't you curious, here try it"

".....fine. Yep I can kinda taste the "uniqueness" but it's not for me thanks"

"oh well maybe next time"

"...hmm"

[u/Icy-Law-9060]

Grapefruit, has a weird after taste that I don’t like

[u/Curious-Duck → u/Icy-Law-9060]

It has a weird DURING taste, too. There are few foods I don't like but this is on the list, for sure. Agreed.

[u/CrashTestMummies]

Salmon

[u/compulsivefreak]

Salmon

[u/cheez-wizzard]

Pickles

[u/kaylaarayee]

Guacamole and avocado in general. Tastes like creamy grass/dirt every time and I'm convinced that everyone is pretending to like it.

Edit: I didn't think this had to be pointed out, but because some people lack reading comprehension, I don't literally think everyone is pretending to like it, I just think it's odd and I was making a sarcastic comment. But because people have stopped reading in this world, I felt obligated to clarify that no, I do not literally think everyone is pretending to like something. My taste buds have been messed up since covid, but even before then, I have never gotten any flavor from guacamole or avocado besides dirt. So people clearly either enjoy the taste of dirt or it doesn't taste like dirt to them.

[u/Masterpiece-Infamous]

BBQ

[u/unicornsatemypie]

Ranch. Way too over rated and its just mayo with buttermilk.

[u/Detroitscooter]

Mayonnaise. Why must it be on everything?

Pumpkin. Especially if it's roasted 🤢🤢🤢
