What smell/taste/texture do you hate the most?

Post Reply New Topic

I dislike the smell of hambugers being cooked. Eggs being cooked. Milldew smell the smell of smoking i can smell it 20 feet off if the wind is right . Cars that do not burn gas right smell bad to me. Funeral flowers give me a headache it's the stuff used to make them last that does it. I use smell and dye free landry cleaner. Smells i like ozone smell after a rain shower, the smell of rain before and during a rain shower.

taste and look of corgette seeing or thinking about viscose, i cant breath if im near it the smell of eggs and the sight of raw chicken and someone else gagging

I thought "sewage" would be the obvious answer... but maybe that's too NT.


I hate the sound of a very depressed, flat-faced, dead-eyed, otherwise still and silent person like my mother noisily chewing some disgusting food into goop with her mouth open as I'm also trying to eat.



The smell of rotting food (particularly in people's mouths) and rotting teeth also really makes me want to gag; sometimes it smells worse than sewage. The combo of rotting food and rotting teeth is what I imagine mortuary sludge to smell like... almost as bad as sewage... in some cases, worse.


Am I too mean?

I don't like the feel or sound of styrofoam. You know when you open a box and have to pull the styrofoam out and it squeaks against the cardboard (*shudder* ). I also can’t stand the feeling of wet or sticky clothes, especially cotton. It’s a problem because I sweat a lot.

I despise the texture of most mashed vegetables (beans, peas, squash, potatoes). They all make me gag. Oddly I like these veggies when they aren’t all mashed up. I can’t explain it. On the opposite end I think peanuts ruin most foods unless they are crushed into small bits.

As for taste, I can't understand how people enjoy the taste of red wine. Also apricots, prune juice *gag*, brussels sprouts, cranberries, walnuts.

As far as smells go, I absolutely despise the smell of hot rubber or brakes. Hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs) is also pretty nasty. Some slightly more unusual smells that bother me: Window cleaner, new buildings, inside of old cars (especially when they’ve been smoked in a lot), inside of milk carton (it smells nasty even if the milk still tastes fine – try it!).

Yes...well no, not really.

I have quite a texture issue with pretty much any vegetable and a lot of fruits as well. Potatoes is just about the only exception from the rule, but in any case I'm pretty much the opposite of Marshall, who said:

Mashing, smashing and pulping is just about the only way I can get along with veggies and fruit, to "conceal" their "disagreeable" texture.

Me too! Also the sawing of a wall - i know that sounds weird, but yesterday my hubby started sawing a peice of the wall to run wires through for a sound system. It bothered me so much I couldn't help but shudder & let out yelp.

This is the way most people are. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like potatoes much. It's frustrating because the rest of my family and almost everyone else I know loves mashed potatoes while I can't stand them. Thanksgiving dinner is one of the worst meals for me, yet everyone else loads their plates. To me mashed veggies have the consistency of poop in my mouth. That’s exactly what it reminds me of, mushy poop *gag*. I only like potatoes when they have lots of butter and seasoning on them.

I hate the feel of paper, even thinking about it gives me the urge to cringe. I especially have issues with people running their fingers on it or rubbing two pieces of it together. I was teased mercilessly about this in school because I would momentarily recoil from paper when it was placed on my desk and I learned to write so that my hand would not make contact with the paper while doing so. Insane, no?

I also can't deal with yogurt or pudding, it makes me gag. The taste is great, but I can't get beyond the texture.

The smell I love the most: The hair of one girl I liked in a class I took two years ago. I was never close to her. I never saw her outside of class, but I did talk to her a lot during class. A fruity fragance...she was always late to class, but whatever she did in the mornings to get ready was worth it. She had the highest grades in the class and was really nice and had some simaliar interests. I should of tried something, but too late now, since she is studying in Japan. ~sigh~

I always enjoyed the texture of having a lot of food in my mouth. Unfortantly I have a problem of eating a little too fast because of it. I have a habit of putting one of each of everything on my plate on my fork, then putting it all in my mouth. I like the texture. ^^;;

I can't stand the texture of most types of melons. Watermelon, honey dew, etc. etc...I can't stand them! If it's ever offered, I try to always politely decline.

Edit- I also can't stand the feeling of carpet in cars. Feels so fuzzy and............ew......makes me cringe just thinking about it. Really fuzzy textures is just.........argh! Can't stand it.

Ok, this is disgusting but the worst smell i have ever experienced is......dead slugs.

When i was a kid slugs would come in to our conservatory through a hole in the skirting board. So rather that fill the hole like most people would, my mum would put down salt to kill the slugs. Then she would make me clear it up, the slugs would be even more slimy by that point and as soon as i started scrubbing the smell would hit me, it was so vile, it used to make me retch.

Hmm... Me too. I can't eat pudding by itself without gagging, but it's fine inside a pastry (as long is there isn't too much in one place). I'm also picky about tomato sauce. If I just filled my mouth with tomato sauce I would gag, but I like pasta that has tomato sauce on it. If there's excess sauce on my plate after I finish my pasta I won't eat it. Same thing goes for melted ice cream. I can't drink melted ice cream without gagging.

I hate poo smells and fart smells. Also, I know this guy whose breath smells like a combination of poo, vomit, and smelly feet. Eewie!

Even the thought of raw or runny cooked eggs makes me gag. Ditto with brains.

Well, I am the first, then. The only way I can eat vegetables is if they still look, feel and taste like vegetables. Once I ate at a restaurant called Cracker Barrel, and the greenbeans that were a side to my catfish were dark-greyish-green, mushy and tasted horrible. The thought of “vegetables” from a can make me barph. As for potatoes, to me, they seem like bland, starchy filler, so really, I won't even eat them flavored or even unmashed.

I share all the same reactions to those particular things that you do in your first post, Marshall, with exception to brussel sprouts and cranberries. The key to good brussel sprouts is to cook them to a precise consistancy - Steam them in a colander until they’re just soft enough to poke a sharp fork into. Then cut each one in half so that you can put a thin sheet of butter between each one. Cranberries, well, I love “tarty” fruit like them. Apricots by themselves are bad, but if you ever get a chance to try them in dark chocolate, you should - I think they are quite good that way.

Taste: anything spicy. I get teased all of the time because I'm extremely sensitive to spicy foods. I'm also not crazy about nuts unless they're baked in something,
Smells-too many to mention.
Textures-Wool, polyester and pottery type things.
Sounds-high pitched whistles, rock and rap music.

BTW, I never used to be crazy about mashed potatoes, either. Now they're tolerable if they have sour cream in them and gravy on them!
