I forgot about lutefisk. My grandma's best friend is Norwegian and every Christmas she makes a pan of lutefisk for my grandparents.  It's like this nasty Grey fish Jell-O. She soaks cod fillets in lye soda until they turn jellied. It smells like oven cleaner and rank fish! My dad grew up having that abomination at Christmas so he and my grandparents actually like it! Ewww. My brother and I have never needed to taste it to know it's totally disgusting. We did like flinging spoonfuls of it at each other when we were younger. Lol

I have a friend that has made lutefisk before. She tried to get me to try it but I could not get past the smell. I was like "I'm good".    I could smell it when I walked in but I didn't want to tell her that it really stinks.

I gave my neighbor some 7-10 months old Dry Monterey Jack Cheese and the wife couldn't stand it because of the smell. The smell isn't really all that strong and I have smelled cheese that smelled far worst. I explained that cheese is a product that taste better the more it smells and finally got a piece past her nose and into her mouth. She like it after all and it was just a matter of her getting her first taste.

I never have enjoyed a Jello salad, but I know that others do.
Just Jello, please.   However I do like Jello with sliced bananas in it.

ya know...I am not even sure what my most hated food is. I'm not sure I have any food that I truly do hate....

hmmm...I guess i am not a huge fan of sauteed okra...but fried okra is great....

Growing up in NYC meant that I grew accustomed to cuisines from all over...and having a Jewish mother meant that things like cows tongue were normal for me...

however there are foods that hate me: dairy...

Sam's club or the drug stores carry a Dairy Enzyme. Your body is no longer producing it but you pop a pill or two when you consume dairy and you can digest it without problems. The inability to process dairy is relatively common in people however people from northern Europe tend to have less problem as much of the traditional diet consisted of dairy.

I use them with...mixed results lets just say...eheh I have just gotten very accustomed to not having much dairy, but I always have a supply on hand.

don't forget the onions with that.

For me it's Salisbury Steak.  I will not eat it, I will not touch it, I will not eat anything that looks like it.  I don't know why I don't like it.  Lots of people I know do.  My mom used to make it for dinner when I was a kid and I tried it, but always found it disgusting.  When she was a kid she was forced by her parents to eat whatever was for dinner whether she liked it or not.  Because of this my mom never forced me or my siblings to eat what we know we don't like.  She might have forced us to try things before deciding what we like or don't like, but if we truly didn't like a certain food, she wouldn't force us to eat it.  That being the case, whenever she would make Salisbury Steak for dinner she'd have some other dish on the side that she knew I liked.  The rest of the family liked Salisbury Steak, so they would eat that while I'd have something else.  To this day I still won't eat it.  Maybe after all these decades since my last time trying it I might like it now, but I'll never know.  I'm not interested in trying.

One of the nastiest things I've ever eaten was potato soup my dad made. My grandma makes this potato soup that I've always loved. Potatoes, carrots, onions and diced ham. She uses lots of milk, cream and butter in it and it's so good. My dad had bought me different brands of canned potato soup but I never liked any of them. When I was about 12 years old my dad decided since I didn't like the canned potato soup he would make me some from scratch. What a tragedy than was! I will never know why he didn't get the recipie from my grandma but he didn't. I guess he figured it was easy enough that he didn't need a recipie. OMG! He boiled a bunch of potatoes, added a can of mixed vegetables and instead of diced ham he put diced spam in it! Then he put half a stick of butter in it. So, here is potatoes and canned mixed vegetables floating around starchy butter water with chunks of spam in it. Ewww doesn't quite cover it!  My dad made that soup just for me and worse he was actually proud of himself. I had to eat it. I didn't have the heart not to eat it and hurt his feelings. Yeah, it was nasty!  My poor dad. He totally can't cook but he did try and he did manage to make stuff for my brother and I growing up even if it wasn't exactly gourmet. Lol

Canned clam chowder.  Bumblebee used to make a great clam chowder that was inexpensive and tasted great.  Then they changed the recipe.  Haven't found another brand worth buying.

Oh it was abysmal. Lol. Almost as bad as refrigerated PBJ sandwiches.  My dad would make a weeks worth of  lunches for Tyler and I on Sundays and put them in the fridge. He was afraid lunch meat or anything with mayo would spoil without refrigeration between when we left for school and when we ate lunch so he usually made us PBJs. I can't tell you how disgusting a PBJ becomes after being in the fridge. The jelly turns into something like sticky Jell-O and the peanut butter gets glue like. Not to mention the bread gets kind of hard. It wouldn't have been so bad if I had had potato chips, cheese puffs or a pudding cup like other kids had. But what did my dad give us along with the sandwiches?  Baby carrots, apple slices or boxes of raisins. Ugh! Lol
