Many items classified as sushi. Oriental chicken salad, the noodles are crunchy, unacceptable. Bao, sorry I just don't like it even though Mal does like it. Chicken's feet, tried 'em at the same time as bao at our Browncoats dim sum party, ew. Papaya, they taste like soap. Poi, in the same vane as papaya. Soy milk. Stew, unless its got lamb in it. V8 juice. seaweed snacks.
I have no objections about this being in this section, I should have put my language syrum question here, I probably will one of these days.
I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.

I HATE PEAS!!!
Not the taste, although I'd rather be eating any meat product over any vegetable, but the texture....
It's like having a mouth full of carpet!

In a culinary crisis that has been dubbed "Marmageddon", the country's only Marmite factory in Christchurch closed in November due to earthquake damage and will not resume production of the thick, black savoury concoction until July.
Mr Key said the shortage was already impacting on the prime ministerial breakfast.

Mind you, I find either one hideous, but then with my allergies anything I *can* eat, I am likely to.
Even some things I can't, I'll cook them for others just cause they smell soooo good.

Huh. I actually like bao... It's basically shredded barbeque pork in a dumpling.
One time I had dim sum with like some custard in it, that was also really good. I never got around to trying chicken feet though.

I've never actually had bao. Ever since 'Our Mrs Reynolds', I've looked for it, but never been able to find it. Least, not by that name.

Aren't those the bland puffy things in a steamer that they have at Chinese Buffets?
Sometimes they are sweet and shaped like a peach?

Depends. I've mostly had bao that had shredded and seasoned pork filling. Sometimes there's vegetable filling or a bean paste or a sweet custard they'll also put in it.
But while all bao is a type of dim sum, not all dim sum is bao. So the chicken feet thing someone mentioned, that would be dim sum, and a dumpling with no filling is mantou, not bao.

Okra is essential in any decent gumbo - its "slime" is one of the things besides the roux that thickens the stock and gives it its silky texture. It also adds a boat load of vitamins. Eat your greens!
I'm not fond of many foods that can be described as: "tastes like the ocean." That usually means it'll be freaking expensive.

I'm a fruit-aholic (esp exotic fruits) with a bizarre fascination with lee-chee (never know if they are fruit or nuts), and if you warm them slightly, and add a little milk and a drop of vanilla they taste like dessert to me...
I wonder if they the same as lychees?

Steamed carrots are only sometimes good. However, carrots baked in a cake or fresh and crisp for munching redeems them.
Steamed carrots are good tossed in a bit of melted butter, honey and a dash of pepper. Carrots are a staple in our family, grated in sandwiches, chopped in salads and stirfrys and just munched for a snack.

I hate lemons.
Why? They don't know their place.
I mean lemonade is great, tasty, refreshing...but then lemon gets all uppity and starts showing up in pudding, in pies, in iced tea, on fish...its just plain wrong and there ought to be a law or perhaps some kind of govt regulation. I mean they regulate every damn thing in the world but when it comes to limiting the use of lemons...nothing. I blame the Democrats, not Obama...the lemon problem goes back a long time.
OMG are you missing out. Lemon cheesecake and lemon pudding are two of the greatest desserts of all time and my husband makes both beautifully. Lemon juice and sugar sprinkled on pancakes is another. Lemons add zing to lots of food, even savoury.

Now I'm personally offended. ;)
Foods I hate. You know I'm struggling to list any. I'm not crazy about offel, but I wouldn't say never because its all in the cooking.
If I was going to say anything, I'd say badly cooked food, especially when I go out and pay for it. Overcooked anything, but especially vegetables. Food fried in cheap oil that is old. Yuck. Meat with fat on it I've never been able to manage, but if I can cut the fat off I'm usually okay. Don't like things that are oversauced, too greasy and fatty.
