I couldn't eat the liver of anything, but aside from that I thought your list was ok - not appetising but edible.

I don't eat/drink the following EVER!

Mushrooms - why the hell do people eat fungus/fungi
Prawns, crab, lobster - they eat the most disgusting things on the sea floor and should carry a public health warning
Celery
Milk of any variety but goats milk is the worst & milkshakes
Mango
Corn in any shape or form
Carrots

But then I have lots of other rules that apply to food.

Toast - I can only eat toast with marmalade on it and it has to be lemon/lime.

I can only eat strawberry jam - no other is acceptable.

I can only eat lamb when it has mint sauce with it.

The thread isn't long enough to list them all - you've probably got the idea.

Man. You are PICKY. I guess we all are. I don't care for mushrooms, but I'll eat them. Milk is ok...but I prefer chocolate milk if I'm just gonna drink it. I wouldnt just drink a glass of regular milk. I love carrots...steamed or the little baby ones you can dip in ranch or sour cream. I do like seafood...but I dont like the slimy stuff...oysters, etc. Toast is great with just butter, peanut butter, strawberry jelly. Marmite is DISGUSTING (sorry you Ozzies and Kiwis)...And the one thing I really hate is yams/sweet potatoes. The smell of them makes me yack.

Yes I should have included vegemite/marmite in my list - they are pretty nasty.

Fortunately I've never had the misfortune to eat either of these.

I love food. I'll try any food once, no matter how exotic or peculiar it is.

But so far, I find the following revolting:

American Cheese
Mushrooms
Broccoli (especially raw)
Peas
Lima Beans
Tuna Casserole (anything when tuna is heated)
Blood Sausage
Brussel Sprouts
Sprouts
Bleu Cheese
Frog legs
Liver & Liver pate

The most vile, puke smelling, disgusting processed garbage "cheese" product. If you light a match too close to it, it will explode, that's how fake and processed it is. OH GOD IT SUX!!!!! I wouldn't be surprised if there is plastic listed in the ingredients.
I think it's safe to say I loathe the crap!

It's exactly what it is called. Some people refer to it as "black pudding" in other parts of the world...
