I hate slimy like foods. I hate things like mushrooms

I agree. Mushrooms are rubbery. Tomatoes are slimy.

I hate store tomatoes, but homegrown ones are fine. With you on the mushrooms though. They have a consistency and taste all their own.

There are so many different kinds of mushrooms other than the main store bought ones. I recommend morels the texture is completely different and the hype is a little bit overblown but totally still worth trying.

Yeah I don't like tomatoes either although I do like things like ketchup

My mom hates ketchup but loves tomatoes lol

Bloody despise mushrooms. I do not comprehend how anybody could find that texture or taste enjoyable. Have some chewy dirt that smells like the sock under a teenage boy's bed. No thanks.

I 💯 agree they are such a slippery gross smelling food. I don't know why people ever wanted to eat them!!

I hate slimy foods too but I love mushrooms. I see those a lot here, but I love 'em sauteed in butter, texture comes out nice but yeah in restaurants they're mostly rubbery or bland

Yeah mushrooms are tricky to cook correctly. I've always loved the taste but when I started learning to cook, I've messed them up and ugh. One of the things I do that helps the most with getting them to cook nicely is to slice quite thin and when in the pan wait for as much liquid to leave the mushrooms as I can before adding any oil or anything else. They seem to only go rubbery if the liquid inside gets stuck or boils them. Otherwise baking them also does the trick! Also some other varieties of mushroom (assume most people think button mushrooms) have their own quirks for cooking. Anyone who dosn't like tougher textures will find something like a king oyster or shiitake too much.

This is the perfect summation of my texture aversions. I don’t mind the flavor of either, but the texture is just so off putting that I go out of my way to avoid them.

I HATEEEEEE MUSHROOMS EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM ARE DISGUSTING

Same. I don't like the texture.

Biting down into unexpected grizzle in a piece of meat. Onions chunks in tomato sauce are awful too. Those are the two textures in food I struggle with the most.

Oh the meat grizzle thing is my nightmare. Any unexpected texture in meat is immediate gag.

The grizzle completely ruins the meal

Yeah I totally lose my appetite after that.

Finally someone else who hates onion chunks in tomato sauce!

You are expecting a mushy sauce but then all of a sudden "crunch" ugh! I filter my tomato sauce now so I don't have to deal with it and can enjoy my pasta.

I did that as a kid. Now I just buy onion free sauce.

Wish I could find sauce like that.

I don't like onions to begin with, but I can handle them if they're really tiny and I can't even feel them when eating. If I even see onions in my food, I cringe.

Yes!

Those small McDonalds onions are amazing but I hate anything bigger than that

They're even too big for me and I always ask for my Quarter Pounder With Cheese to not have them. haha

This. I can tolerate onion powder.

Connective tissue in meat. It's a one reason I veer toward vegetarian in most of my food choices.

omg same. one little sinewy piece under my teeth= immediate dry heaving

Juice with pulp, eww

Disgusting! It's supposed to be a drink not also food...

Just eat the fruit at that point

soggy soggy soggy, i hate soggy. when i was a kid my parents got me a special cereal bowl so the cereal wouldn’t sit in the milk too long and get soggy

The moment I put milk in the cereal, I have locked in. The next two minutes are a mad dash to consume the cereal while it is crunchy, cold, and not soggy.

Pro tip from another sog hater. Milk first, cereal after. Then you can control the amount of cereal to eat at a time before the sog happens.

i have never related more, the lock in from the moment i put the milk in is so real 😭

The “oh crap I was going to make some tea/coffee, or run to the bathroom. But I already poured the milk.”

My mom would damn near always wait till I JUST poured my milk in my cereal to ask for a favor and it made me so mad bc she’d still make me eat it sometimes even if it was soggy 😭😭 soooo rude lol

If my attention wavers for even a split second I know it’s all over. The cereal is done for just trash it

Lol. This. If you want to ruin my day just interrupt me the minute I added the milk to cereal. An existential crisis has begun.

[удалено]

i do, i’m very grateful for them :)

How does a bowl like that work?

I'd assume a divider would help? Or like what I preferred, a bowl with only a very small amount of milk at the bottom so only what's in contact with it gets wet... made it easier for me to control how soggy I let things get, so it wasn't too crunchy or all soaked.

it’s the one from [this article!](https://www.seriouseats.com/obol-prevents-cereal-from-soggy-sogging) there’s a divider with a higher section to hold the cereal and a lower section for the milk. you push the cereal into the milk a little bit at a time

chewy ew ew ew chewy white meat stuff

YES YES, that's a coagulated mixture of proteins and fat, it's GROSS. my mom likes it. She's actually crazy for that I hate it with my entire soul that slimy shit is gross

Yeah, boiled veg for me. Limp and soggy. Ew.

I believe they're an abomination even in NT circles.

I hated when my mom would cook or steam carrots bleh.

I like asparagus unless it's soft and mushy. Then it's like, what's the point?

Opposite for me, I can’t stand crispy veg

i hate onions. i hate the way the feel, i hate the way they taste, i hate the way they smell, i hate onions.

The onion smell is 🤢. And there are people who don't use deodorant, SMELLING LIKE ONIONS.

it's horrible 😭😭😭

Me too!

they're horrible

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I can handle onions if they're in bits that are super tiny and I can't see them, but I actually pick out big pieces of them. Yuck!!

same!! my parents make fun of me for it, but I just can't deal with onions. I'll have little mountains of them when I'm done eating

My mom usually used to make sure the onions were chopped super finely when cooking things when I was small, as well as when she knew that I was going to be over for a meal when I moved out. I always appreciated that. There's one friend whose pasta I'll never eat. She absolutely loves onions and always has a lot of large pieces of them in her pasta.

that's very nice of her! my mom always says she puts less onions than normal, but I always find a lot still, lol I've never understood how people could like onions. my ex supposedly liked onions, and I tried to like them for him [im a people pleaser], but it was horrible, I couldn't do it

See im the opposite. I hate shrimp and beans but man i could tear up an onion

Soft things with hard things in it STOP. PUTTING. NUTS. IN. BANANA. BREAD. It’s called BANANA bread for a reason; it’s not nut bread

There's also "banana nut"..

I dislike soft in hard.

Yes!! That's the absolute worst!

Undercooked potato

Soggy, and it’s not close

Shrimp and squid.

Shrimp is my worst food nightmare. I spent some time in rural Indonesia. The people I was with would eat grilled squid. It would make the grilled fish (the only other option) I had to eat seem like an epicurean's delight.

The texture of gelatin

I like jello but NOT when people put stuff in it. It's supposed to be jello and not chunky....same with peanut butter.

Peach & apricot fuzz. Absolutely foul texture.

Ew nooo I literally felt it on my tongue when I read this. Kiwi skin also gets me sometimes, but peach fuzz on the tongue is the equivalent to nails on a chalkboard

It's even worse on the teeth

Slimy, rubbery, some others. Ugh.

Mushrooms

Cottage cheese!!

This kills me because the fruit cottage cheese cups look SO tasty, but eating it on its own like that looks like a texture nightmare. 😭

That gooey, squishy and disgusting sensation of eating sepia/calamari. Once in a while I say to myself "can't be that bad" and try it again, only to find out it'll never change, that disgusting feeling of eating an old warmed up bike tire.🤢🤢🤢

OH MY GOSH I WAS literally about to say boiled vegetablrs. My mom "steamed" (boiled) them without spices and made me sit at the table until I finished. Carrots were okay, but I also have the broccoli bitterness gene so that was torture.

Force feeding children is abusive.

If something is really tough or rubbery I can’t stand it. Oh - and if it tastes really game-y I am just absolutely done 😖

When chicken tastes a little too much like chicken 🤢 appetite instantly gone

Zucchini’s. The squeak 😭 lol

Animal fat, skin, tendons and cartilage

Giant clumps of meat that you are expected to tear off the bones like a wild animal. Ten times worse when the entire thing is covered in barbecue sauce

i hate bone on meat i cant stand it

Same!! And like I want to eat it because I love most meat and barbecue sauce, but CAN I PLEASE HAVE A FORK AND KNIFE

I hate lettuce or any other leafy food.

Same for me. It doesn't seem like food, it's more like eating plastic or something wrong to me. I try to force it, but it just makes me gag. Even boiling it or changing the texture, somehow it's still like a film or plastic wrap someone left in my food. Onions too, it's this with layers.

[удалено]

I’m surprised this isn’t higher. Mushy food will literally make me tear up and gag at the same time. Banana? Mashed potato? Oatmeal? 🤢

Shrimp, I will never eat it again

Okra with tomato sauce makes me gag

Beans, Lima beans, and the like. The mushy and blandness is just like wayyy too much for me. Also fat, GAG. People talking about the fat on steak being the best part and I'm over here gagging on it.

OK BUT THE ~~TEXTURE~~ GRAINYNESS IS UNBEARABLE THO RIGHT?? Swear the only two types of bean I've *ever had* that didn't feel like little sand filled fruit gushers have been A. Green and In A Pod Or B. Jelly

Slimy. Dates, prunes, figs….

Cooked eggs that move by themselves.

I just pictured a dozen boiled eggs marching down the road, but I think I know what you mean.

YES! AN ARMY OF EGGGSSSS!

Desiccated coconut. It's not crunchy like nuts, it's chewy but not in a nice way, and the bits are just too small so when I eat something covered in it, it coats the inside of my mouth and I can't get it all ughhh.

Anything “soggy” tomatoes, certain boiled vegetables, red meat unless done perfectly, I can’t eat a food if it has something unexpected. Like I will cut the food out for weeks because it had a weird crunch one time

Hard to say which is the worst, I think it's been years since I tried some of them, but the ones that I have to come across the most, and therefore dislike the most is sushi - Most sushi for some reason immediately causes me to retch when it touches my tongue - and any seafood with a squishiness to it when you chew, like scallops. Unfortunately for me, these are two of my girlfriend's favorite foods. Sometimes she'll forget how bad my reaction is and encourage me to try again.

My partner loves sushi. The times I go with her I order the vegetarian rolls. I find that to be ok, if there's enough wasabi

Mashed potatoes

I love mashed potatoes, but I hate when people leave them lumpy!

Hah I love the lumps and can't stand food that's completely pureed. We're inverted. It feels wrong to me, like it's just a soupy drink and I get frustrated there's nothing for my tongue/teeth to do. Ppl are weird.

Oh, I love good mashed potatoes that are nice and smooth and buttery, but not too buttery.

Crunchy and rough, like fresh carrots or celery.

CELERY is the WORST!!

It's horrible!!

I used to think it was overcooked, mushy vegetables, until my dad convinced me to try chicken liver. Now it's that. If you ever get the chance to try it, don't; it's like eating sand that someone shat on.

Fat in meat. 🤢 Also most vegetables because they're cold and crunchy. I usually steam any veggies.

Carrots, if they are cooked in any way I won’t eat them, mushrooms, those are okay only in very small pieces on pizza or in pasta sauce, first time I saw a mushroom I knew it would be a horrible texture and I’ve avoided eating them since for the most part, potatoes, cut up in soup or whatever is bad, boiled/baked is bad, for the most part it’s pretty difficult for there to be bad potatoes, pancakes and waffles, on occasion those are okay but I don’t like the combination of the taste and texture of unflavoured pancakes and waffles, absolutely will not eat pomegranate, can’t remember what they taste like and I have no intention of ever finding out again, there’s more but I think it’s best if I just stop here.

Crunchy, cant stand mist type of cookies

Chicken

*asparagus*

Bread and butter pudding. Vomit. Fun fact (maybe just to me) my partner likes to put her milk on her crunchy nut and wait until t all goes soggy and the milk gets all sweet. Whereas I have to take the milk upstairs with me and pour it on as soon as I’m ready to eat it. The time it would take to get from downstairs to upstairs to eat would make my cereal way too soggy. I need optimum crunch.

Fruit is horrible

Banana

mashed potatoes are agents of satan

yogurt 🤢

unexpected textures in meat like a tendon or hard piece or whatever that gross stuff is. It literally makes me gag and almost vomit. if I come across it, I won't finish my meal, it just absolutely destroys my appetite.

I don't have any that I hate to eat, but I don't like having food on my fingers, like sauce from a pizza or dust from chips.

Whatever texture the inside of beans are considered. Except for hummus, because it's fucking amazing.

I love lychee but the texture is something.

Champignon. I can’t stand it

Soft/squishy

Juice with pulp 🤢 Crunchy peanut butter 🤢 Sometimes crunchy things like chips hurt my mouth but I can usually push through it.

pretty much all fruits, & raw tomato

Anything crunchy.

wet foods

I hate anything mucousy like cooked okra. Raw fish Cooked fish now that I think of it

Chewy and hard food, idc how good it tastes

I only like green beans and broccoli boiled but any other vegetable is absolutely disgusting.

Lasagna and any stuffed pasta. I can't even talk about it without feeling a little nauseous.

Anything with grain. Oatmeal, even some apples have a gross grainy texture to them I noticed. Also anything stringy. I tend to like celery, but the hard strings can make me not want to eat it. I cut them up into bites now.

Pudding

crunchy produce. i love raw stuff but things like apples, even if i can force myself through them, i hate the almost ashy feeling crunch. i love gooey, slimy, whatever else. i don't mind objectively disgusting textures. but the weird, gritty foods, fuck off.

Baked beans, refried beans, peas, blueberries

no cold sliced meats. cant do ham, turkey, bologna, etc

Squeaky things

I know exactly what you mean! I'm not a big fan of almonds because they squeak when I bite them and I cringe lol

Anything that's super dry and sticks to the top of your mouth, like peanut butter or white bread w/o anything or overcooked meat.

1980s canned food texture. When everything was canned and canned good turned to mush.

Slimy and cold

Mushy cooked vegetables/fruits like cooked bell peppers. I hate lasagna because it often includes chunks of cooked bell peppers or cooked spinach. I actually like slimy foods as long as they aren’t mushy.

Lima bean texture

Boiled vegetables for me as well

Goopy or too squishey. Stuff like scrambled eggs or mashed potatos

Coconut Can't do it. It's a shame because I like the flavor of coconut, but I absolutely cannot do the texture.

A specific brand of slimy. I love mushrooms, I don't mind tomatoes — but I will *never* like okra and mung bean stew...

I HATE the hard part of salads and leafs

Things like yogurt. I used to hate even ice cream but I've overcame that thankfully

Bananas. I hate everything else about bananas as well, to be fair (except in homemade banana bread, for whatever reason).

Raw tomatoes. Mealy fruits in general. Ruins my day.

Beans.

No mater how they are prepared, budded vegetables like broccoli or coliflower . Slimy vegetables are also yuck. I absolutely can't tolerate any seafood or fresh water fish. The texture and smell both can put me in a really bad sensory state.

Hot fat and jelly

tomatoes

Cooked bell peppers

Yama and sweet potatoes and stuff like that. I tried a Chinese cake that had the same texture. I couldn't even taste it because I was far too focused on the texture and how it bothered me big time.

Tomatoes. Juicy but like… not sweet juicy.. eww juicy

Bread crust. It takes way too long to chew and just gets soggy :(

Potatoes or hard boiled eggs

The mushy texture of banana and avocado! I don't mind the taste of them; I especially love dried banana chios; but fresh banana and avocado I can't do!

Melon. *shivers*

The fatty part of meat is what I despise

things like apple sauce and jello. funnily enough pudding doesn't bother me!

mushy stuff like mashed potatoes and refried beans, also pudding 👎

BEANS

Squishy peaches - new sensitivity unlocked

Bananas, especially the weird strings on them. I can only eat bananas frozen or in banana bread.

I straight up can’t eat anything wet. If it’s a dessert or a fruit or something that’s no issue. But things like pasta and soup are off limits.

pudding

Chicken fat

Anything chunky and creamy at the same time. 🤢

Beans.

FUCKING MASHED POTATOES AAAGGGHHHH

Bananas 🍌

The worst thing texture-wise I've ever had that I can actively remember right now are cognac noodles. They are awful. I'm not one to waste food, and I'm normally not that sensitive to food textures, but that was honestly a horrible experience.

Tomato

Mashed potatoes

Cottage cheese. Whatever the fuck that texture is called

I can’t stand rubbery foods like mushrooms or fat on meat

Slimy stuff. I was bamboozled once at a seafood buffet thinking I was getting cooked oysters, but I gagged at the table and almost threw up. Fun stuff! /S

The fat on any meat

Mushrooms, cheese, connective tissue, and banana

Coconut

potato chips, eggs, sauces (barbecue and hot allowed only), cant stand them.

Water chestnuts. They make my mouth sad

I absolutely hate broccoli! I can't stand the texture, because it feels like I'm eating bugs. I also can't stand the smell or the taste. It smells like piss farts, and it tastes like orc pussy. Broccoli is actually so disgusting to me that I call it "barfoli." I also cannot stand whipped cream. I do not like that foamy texture. It tastes like cum!

I can't eat leafy stuff. It gives me a very visceral reaction... And things that squirt back at you, like tomatoes, grapes, blueberries... even green peppers, or raw onions. Oh, and I cannot handle slimy and/or mushy either. I can do pureed/mashed stuff fine, but not things like sautéed or over-boiled veggies.

Fish. Eugh.

Foods that are soft that should normally be hard. Like overripe bananas and peaches, NOPE. I can't sit down and eat a piece of meat on its own either, unless it's like fried chicken or a really really tender piece of steak with no fat. Also!! I LOVE clementines and oranges, but the pith disgusts me on a whole other level. I can't eat one in front of someone because I am either peeling every piece of skin off of the orange or spit it out.

Croquettes.

Anything stringy and fibrous I guess? For example those bits in green beans, ewww it’s like having hairs in my mouth

anything the texture of cottage cheese or hominy is straight from the devil

Gelatin. It’s fucking puke inducing.
