A friend once brought a bottle of ouzo back from Greece and left it open in the kitchen. It made me gag at the other end of the house!

Haha, I totally agree! I have this vivid memory of trying oysters when I was younger. It happened at a family gathering. I cautiously took my first bite, and I remember that instant gag reflex triggered by both the taste and the texture. Wanting to avoid causing a scene, I forced myself to suppress the urge to spit it out. So there I was, reluctantly eating a few more bites, all the while pretending to savor the experience. But, as you can imagine, there's a limit to the acting. Eventually, I reached the point where I just couldn't tolerate the taste any longer. Swiftly, I excused myself to the bathroom, I discreetly disposed of the remaining oyster I had concealed in my mouth. Once I returned, I used the classic excuse of "not being hungry anymore" to escape any further consumption of oysters. Luckily, I never encountered those slimy creatures again.

I cannot eat corn. It's not a taste or texture issue. It's a bad history. For a few years, I was in an abusive household, and in my last few months there, all I was allowed to eat was corn and plain bread. I can still handle bread, but Corn was something that I had hated before, and it was made infinitely worse.

I can't stand bread lol, only certain types with certain things, same with cheese. I'm a very picky cheese and bread gal. I love corn it just doesn't sit well with my stomach. And I'm so sorry for your troubles and I hope you're okay now ❤️

peanut butter or really any of those sort of things (almond butter, cocoa butter). the texture is horrible and the taste has literally made me puke before (i have a sensitive stomach. if i absolutely hate a food, it may make me gag and then puking happens. however this only happens with the worst of the worst foods).

there is one exception. at my local store they have a smoothie corner that makes this açaí and almond butter smoothie and i love it so much.

Except for the smoothie, all the nut butters have a TON of oil in them. Likely cause of the gag response. I could not stand Peanut Butter until I was an adult. I had cream cheese or plain butter with jelly on my sandwich for lunch.

Grapefruit- it's just not exactly my favorite food in the world. I've tried it once with my grandfather, and almost instantly I removed the piece of grapefruit out of my mouth. I've tried it again around 2 years ago, and my opinion hasn't changed.

Okra is rarely prepared properly making it soggy and slimy. If you don't soak it but rinse it quickly to remove any dirt and dry it throughly before cooking you might change your mind.

Bread, especially just plain bread. I can't stand bread and maybe if it ha something I'll eat like half of it. Also cheese, that's just disgusting. Unless it's melted on my pasta and mixed really well so it's medium cheesy I'll eat it-im just very very picky with bread and cheese

If you have a sensitive nose, yeast or mold may trigger a gag impulse. Hence an aversion to most breads and cheeses, also beers!

Chicken really doesn't have to be dry. I think you've just had it poorly prepared. My husband's family murders meat. I'm always like 'it was already dead, you don't need to kill it again'. It instantly made sense why he hated beef and chicken. The trick to chicken is that it takes the flavour of anything around it so you need to season it. Breading keeps moisture in, keeping skin on adds flavour. Adding herbed butter or curry butter or lemon butter between the skin and the meat makes the skin crispy, keeps it super moist and adds a tonne of flavour.

Beets. My sister once when he were little had a shitton of them for lunch and proceeded to puke all over the bathroom... The memory makes me instantly gag. Ketchup. The sweetness does not go well with salty food to me. Seafood, just tastes like seawater to me. Avocado. Can't get past the texture and the blandness of it. I'm not a oicky eater but these are deal-breakers for me

This is going to sound fake but it’s true, he worst thing i ever tasted is Starfish. Not Starkist Tuna, but actual starfish from the ocean, grilled like hamburger patty in SE Asia. I have the photos.

I think they used a knife to cut the sharp, crusty legs open, and the “meat” inside was gooey and horrific, like baby food but tasting like seafood waste byproducts.

If you see starfish on a grill, just take a selfie with them - plz do not taste one

That's like sea urchin to me. I grew up on 'strange seafood' because my family is from the west indies (flying fish, shark, swordfish, starfish, conch). For them sea urchin is nostalgic... yeah hard pass.

I hate Louki or as I think it’s called in English, gourd. I dislike it because my mom makes it so often that I can’t stand the taste and the gravy anymore. There’s another food I can’t stand but I don’t know what it’s called in English. In Marathi we call it “Shira” and I can’t stand it because my mom makes it every Thursday and it’s too sweet
