Things you hate, yet everyone else seems to love (which makes them hate you)

I think she also fails to grasp the fact that Lactose intolerance means that YOU GET A NEGATIVE REACTION TOWARDS dairy products, so you can't just hate them, you must be physically unable to ingest them without causing yourself harm, it's NOT related to taste, you don't puke cuz of milk, you get lots of gastrointestinal problems like gas and diarrhea, general flatulence but not sickness or iow, puking.

In general you can love milk as much as you can and still be lactose intolerant , like my cousin who gets hell whenever he drinks any, and me, i have a mild case of lactose intolerance where i just get too much gas. EUGHHHH.

It's weird, I know... I had a milkshake and I was fine today. Yogurt, no problem. Blueberry Cheesecake frozen yogurt, devoured it.

Don't know why, that particular scoop of ice cream tasted like milk and my taste buds came to a screeching halt on death row telling my brain, MUST NOT GO FURTHER.

Same thing with carrot juice; tastes too much like milk. But no one likes carrot juice anyways.

Wow, I hate both mushrooms and mayo. I also hate anything sour or spicy, which some people find odd.. dunno why. *shrug*

Speak for yourself, carnivore.

I have no idea what you're talking about, sir.

I hate all sweets with only a few exceptions (chocolate and sherbert). The texture's unappealing and the taste doesn't sit with me well, espeically liquorice. Christ I abhor that stuff.

Coffee and I really get people that I feel hate me cause I don't like coffee. I just sometimes seem to end up talking to older people who can't understand the concept of an adult who doesn't drink coffee.

Hot Dogs, Sausage, anything similar to them. No it's not the shape, I just seriously think they taste like crap. When I was a kid my parents tried to make me eat hot dogs, but the taste was so aweful to me that it actually caused me to vomit. Then they'd yell at me like it was my fault that the food made me puke.

Hot dogs are definitely a once in a while thing for me, but sausages are terrific. Love 'em.

As well they should! Mint is the herb of the gods.

One thing I've been unsuccessful at enjoying so far is alcohol. It tastes like poison to me. The first time I tried wine I literally thought I had ingested Sharpie ink. I'm trying to acclimate myself to it so as not to appear like a complete weenie, but I've yet to actually drink something alcoholic and think, "That was delicious."

I also normally avoid seafood (well, most of it...<3 dried squid), but I'm trying to acquire the taste for that too. Never hurts to have more dietary options.

I was child vomiter as well, except it came down to mayonnaise. People's infatuation with mayonnaise never ceases to amaze me, or the fact that I detest mayo would blow people's minds. I still gag when I even catch a wiff and if I were to eat it, I get incredibly nauseous.

Mayonnaise is made out of uncooked egg yolks and oil, kept in a jar for far longer than you'd keep a normal egg. That's just unnatural to me.

I like coffee with milk/cream and sugar, but I just can't stand iced coffee...seems like you have to add twice as many sugars to iced coffee as you do to normal coffee to get rid of the bitterness. I don't think coffee is meant to be cold.

Also, any cinnamon flavored candies/gum are yuck to me.

I want to like dark chocolate, I really do...but it just isn't happening. Have to stick with Milk and white.

I did that with cream cheese.

Now I think it's nummy. :3

Hmm... coffee and cheese. I'll try them every once in a while (cheese is fine as grilled cheese sandwiches and in McD's sausage mcmuffins) but I couldn't stand much of them.

My sweetie loves them both though and meanwhile he hates my mayonnaise in BK's chicken sandwich or sour cream dip.

Otherwise, I generally avoid spicy foods as well.

Haha, I knew when I saw this thread that there were going to be a lot of people saying they hate coffee.

Coffee becomes easier to stomach when you get older, because your tastebuds lose a lot of their sensitivity. That's why children often dislike many foods that adults enjoy (anchovies, dark chocolate, sauerkraut, coffee). And a lot of the people on these boards are still rather young, so it's understandable.

But there's also a huge difference in quality when it comes to coffee. If all you've ever tried is Folgers, then I can understand exactly why you don't like coffee. Try some high-quality Kona, or Arabian Mocha Sanani coffee, and you might just reconsider.

As for my answer to the question? I really don't like scalloped potatoes. Not that everyone loves scalloped potatoes, but I don't think people generally hate them.

There are a lot of things that I like that make others sick to their stomachs, but what surprises a lot of people is the fact I have a hard time digesting raw vegetables. I can have a few carrot sticks, or a piece of raw broccoli, no problem. When I make a big salad or something along the lines of a lot of uncooked greens, my stomach aches like it's trying to break down rocks, and the exodus is not fun either. I'm still trying to force my body to adjust to digesting that stuff.

Really? Shit, man... Sometimes the best way for me to kill a hangover is a huge salad with only a little Italian dressing.

It's good that you're trying to adjust, as veggies are a pretty important source of fiber.

I wouldn't say that I hate asparagus, but I'm not particularly fond of it as being part of my meals. Yet all my family and friends love it. I eat a lot of other vegetables in general though, but asparagus just isn't one of them. I suppose a close second would have to be walnuts. So many people I know enjoy them.

I used to hate seafood until someone made me try salmon, I fell in love. Seriously, go to the Olive Garden and try one of their seafood plates, they are so good. I like all kinds of seafood now, except for lobster. I will not even think about eating that.

I hate sausage by itself. If it's like a ground Italian sausage in a soup that's fine but otherwise I will not eat it.
