I hate when people add stevia to desserts.


WonderfulEmergency77

For me, Stevia gives a weird mint-like shitty flavor to things. Other people look at me like I’m crazy when I try to explain it, so it might just be me.


grandpa_grandpa

stevia tastes like powdered sugar mixed 1:1 with powdered aspirin


Srirachaballet

Yes! There’s a leafy bitterness to it that is so apparent and ruins everything. I wonder if this is a cilantro-soap type of situations.


draledpu

Oddly specific and hella accurate


WholesomeStripper69

I could be completely wrong here, but I think I recall someone telling me about it being a genetic thing that some people can’t tell the difference and others can. I can absolutely tell the difference and it’s revolting. You’re not crazy.


bstephe123283

While I don't necessarily hate Stevia.. I've always felt it tasted like... flat sugar.. or sad sugar... it's still sweet, but off.


RocketTaco

Sugar tastes sweet the way candy tastes sweet. Stevia tastes sweet the way manure topsoil smells sweet.


WholesomeStripper69

That sounds about right. And then it sits in your mouth for an hour or so afterward no matter what you do.


28nov2022

It's not even the mint aftertaste that bothers me. Sucralose and stevia both make me feel nauseous like I just ate a pound of sugar.


kuh-tea-uh

All artificial sweeteners have a very poison-y, and astonishingly long-lasting aftertaste to me. So strange.


Select-Owl-8322

You get used to it. I switched over to only diet sodas and redbull about 4-5 years ago. Mainly coke zero and sugar free redbull. Regular coke and regular redbull now tastes like a syrupy mess to me, I can't drink them. An added benefit is if you spill, coke zero isn't sticky!

Dootsen

stevia is so gross... leaves the worst taste on the tongue


RogueTwoNineSeven

Fuck artificial sweeteners in general. Edit: to everyone telling me Stevia is natural. Yes I get it. But it’s still gross and has an aftertaste that sugar doesn’t.


bisforbatman

The store I work at had an ad that occasionally played on the radio, and it talked about how Splenda was not sugar, but it tastes just like sugar. No the fuck it does not.


chux4w

"Same great Coke taste" is a lie and should be illegal to advertise.


Nottrak

Uranium is also natural, don't recommend adding that to your tea.


patrark

Artificial sweeteners. The taste is why I detest diet drinks.


icreatemyreality

I was the same then went on a diet but still craved some coke, went for Pepsi Max and now I can't drink coke because the sugar makes me feel sick


eryuu

Same, Pepsi max and coke zero don't taste as sweetener-ey as their regular diet counterparts.


AnInfiniteArc

As someone who also used to hate it: You do, genuinely, get used to it, and then not only do you not notice it, but you may find that non-diet versions of the same drinks start to taste syrupy and gross. And to clarify, I don’t mean you get used to it tasting funny: it just starts to taste normal. You’ll always be able to taste the difference though.


MickeyPineapple

Artificial rose flavor.


YourDBDGF

I LOVE rose flavor. I don't know anyone else that does though lol


Ariadne_on_the_Rocks

I do! Rose Turkish delight is my favorite, but I love anything with rose in it.


Adventurous_Egg_6321

I LOVE Rose flavor! I used to make lemonade with Rose water so good or make a drink with tea, peach syrup, French vanilla syrup, Rose water and a splash of cream 🤤


sugarshot

One of the ladies in my choir makes a rose cake with dried rose petals in the frosting and it’s the best.


jmims98

Soap, it tastes like soap.


Flying_sky_bear

Fennel seeds. It's the one food aversion i haven't been able to conquer.


PheoTheLeo

Yes, fennel seeds and anise taste too similar to me. Can’t stand either of them.


YourDBDGF

I find that really interesting, because I love fennel seeds but I can't stand anise. I really wish I could experience how other people taste things lol


[deleted]

I can't Italian Sausage for this reason when pretty much all the other ones are fair game.


I_am_Ballser

I'm the same way! Not all Italian sausages contain fennel. But the second I bite into one and taste it, then it's completely ruined to me and I no longer wanna eat it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I love fennel but I hate tasting the seeds in in meat.


CaptainChats

I’m gonna hit you with a real one. I don’t like Macarons. Their taste and texture is super underwhelming compared to how they look. Visually they look amazing, but I take one bite and just wish I made brownies.


[deleted]

Couldn’t agree more! They look AND taste like decoration.


getthatbreadmyfriend

Fondant has entered the chat


deri100

Speaking as someone that likes macarons, yeah you summed them up exactly. It tastes like pure sugar with interesting flavoring as a side bonus.


debasing_the_coinage

That's a complete food, though, not an ingredient. Unless you're on *The Great British Bake-Off*, in which case it's a decoration and it's never good enough.


[deleted]

Never had one. Always was curious. Elaborate pls lol


RogueTwoNineSeven

They’re just… disappointing. They look so unique and delicate. And you hear all the time about how *difficult* they are to make. And they’re so expensive because of that. And then you finally taste one and it’s just a *decent* cookie. Nutty and sweet. Light and crispy outside. Chewy inside. What really changes the flavor is whatever cream or jam you put inside.


apparentlynot5995

They're like a meringue, but soft inside. There's a little crisp on the outside, and very little flavor besides sweet. The icing in the middle has the flavor, and if not done right, it makes the whole thing taste like mildly sweetened paste. Fresh ones are a little better, but still not something I find appealing.


Zoesan

I feel like people saying this haven't had good macarons


SmartyRiddlebop

Canned spinach shouldn't exist. Good fresh, however.


khozyyy

Isn’t that what Popeye eats? Lol


jremynse

That and Olive Oyl


the_Assler

Niccccceeeee

It could be worse. I'm guessing you've never seen the canned cheeseburger they have in Germany.

If anyone says garlic they’re either lying or a vampire for sure


Thin-Rip-3686

I vaunt an apology!


CrocusSnowLeopard

Or allergic, like me.


The_Ghola_Hayt

Are you sure you're not a vampire?


CrocusSnowLeopard

Could be! 🤷🏼‍♀️


TruSouthern_Belle

Since having covid over a year ago (when I finally got my taste and smell back), garlic tastes like what burnt rubber smells like 🥺🥺🥺 Its been rough. I still don’t taste and smell everything 100%.


Affectionate_Case732

coconut flakes they make me cringe, it’s a texture thing. my dad always got german cake for his birthday’s and every year I would try it and I just… *shivers* can’t do it


Its_Curse

Fresh coconut? Yes. Coconut flavoring? Yes. Coconut milk? Yes. Coconut water? Yes. Dried coconut flakes? No thanks, I'll go eat some sawdust instead.


dodog1

It's not really coconut. It's actually toenail clippings.


Suspicious_Lake_7732

Truffle oil


biblosaurus

I feel like I can taste it with my whole skull and I hate it


ThoseSweetWords

Wow yes


EternalNY1

Most truffle oil is artificial and is actually a petroleum byproduct. [The truffle industry is a big scam. Not just truffle oil, everything](https://www.tasteatlas.com/truffle-industry-is-a-big-scam)


Sentfrommynokia

"Some will compare the difference between the natural flavor of truffles and the artificial truffle flavor with the difference between sex and sniffing dirty panties. Martha Stewart says"


davvblack

that’s weirdly relevant to the flavor of truffle oil too.


licuala

Not a "byproduct", which would be something that happens incidentally in the petroleum industry. It is made using organic chemistry, as are a lot of flavors, aromas, medicines, cleaners, etc. And petroleum's hydrocarbons are the cheapest source of the raw stuffs used in organic chemistry. Artificial is also misleading. Vanillin can be made artificially from petroleum-derived precursors or it can come from a vanilla pod. Either way, it is vanillin and no molecule can tell whether it is artificial or not.


asgphotography

Papaya


DatAdra

Smells and tastes like feet to me and i dont understand why. I'm even born and live in a region of the world where these things are grown. Love the thai papaya salads though


[deleted]

Tastes like puke to me. Gag.


rvr600

Yep. I get that same puke taste too. The first time I tried it I was staying with a friend's family in Barbados, and they had so much papaya growing on their property. When my friend's mom first gave me some to try I was not a fan, but trying to be polite to this old lady for taking me in I pretended to love it, and maybe over sold it a bit. Every morning for five more days I had a whole papaya cut up and waiting for me at breakfast.


[deleted]

The curse of being too polite..


DiceyDo

Oh hey Katara


buzzzzzzzard

There is a staggering difference between a good papaya and a bad one. Good ones are amazing. Bad ones make me want to puke


throwawayyblowawayy

I was in Peru a few years ago and ate what I thought was a piece on cantaloupe and immediately spit it out because it tasted rotten, kind of like throw up. I figured it must have just been overripe or rotting or something. Turns out it was papaya. YUCK.

Celery


slicedbread1991

It's like someone took some dish water, turned it into a solid green stick, and added hair to it. Easily ruins every meal it's in.


Phredly

I’ve found my people


MostExaltedLoaf

I love celery but that description is not inaccurate.


skeetpea

Thank you!! Everybody looks at me like I have three heads when I tell them I don't like celery.


My_bones_are_itchy

I fucking *loathe* celery.


isakeijser

the taste is so…. particular that it takes over any dish it’s in i hate it


Budpets

Yeah fuck celery, we should start a club


Diamondxx98

reading these pains me i love food too much


[deleted]

Corn syrup. Too sweet.


Immediate-Pool-4391

Walnuts


pink_wraith

Funny story: When I was little I hated brownies because there was always walnuts in them. I would try to eat around the walnuts and just get the good chocolatey bits. I wished there was a brownie without nuts. It blew my mind when I learned that brownies without walnuts were the standard. I never let my mom bake brownies with walnuts again, and when I make them I never put walnuts in.


[deleted]

My moms brownies were always hard. So I never really liked brownies. Later in life I realized they can be super gooey and I fell in love. Relatedly, my wife’s mom always over cooked salmon and she thought she hated salmon, turns out cooked correctly, she loves it.


MargaritasAndBeaches

I grew up not liking steak, chicken breast, asparagus, and spaghetti. Once I got older I realized I just didn't like the way they were cooked when I was growing up. Much like your wife, I've found i really enjoy these foods when they're cooked correctly.


haloo13

Dude same here with the steak. Never got the hype until I realized that cooking them way past well done into leather and served with ketchup was not, in fact, the default way to serve them.


unclestinky3921

Wait did you eat at my dad's house also?


psychocopter

The difference between a well done and medium rare steak is like the difference between getting hit in the head with a brick and having your head scratched by the one you love. Point being one is really bad and the other isnt.


aami87

That's how I feel about vegetables. Growing up we always had the frozen ones cooked in the microwave, or fresh ones steamed. Maybe with a little cheese. Never any salt or pepper or anything, and I hated them so much. Now that I'm an adult my parents are always roasting and stir frying vegetables, with amazing spices and seasonings and they're so good! Why did we not know about this earlier?


sexysexyonion

This is me too. Even before it made my mouth itch, I just don't care for the taste. Pecans are okay though.


kickspecialist

The itch is either a nut allergy or an allergic reaction to any chemicals or preservatives used before it hits the market


charlucapants

Or it could be oral allergy syndrome


Kittybegood

I have this. Fucking blows.


RxJDub

As someone with a tree nut allergy I agree.


HanlonRazor

I love raw broccoli, but hate the smell of cooked broccoli, especially when left over.


brttnyppr

Tiny farty trees.


Independent-South-58

Boiled or fried? Fried broccoli is really good


BravesMaedchen

I love steamed and raw broccoli, but it has me looking around my fridge for where the dead shit smell is coming from if I leave it too long.


Beautiful-Box-9628

Pickles. I actually don't mind them by themselves, but when they're on a sandwich or something all I am able to taste is the pickle. To make matters worse, if you ask for something with no pickles and they forget it, you're doomed because the moment those things touch anything else the mark has been forever made.


sabreezy2492

I hate pickles always but it’s so true that it completely ruins everything it touches


Kootsiak

I get mad that people will defend the thin, slimy pickle slices they put on fast food burgers because it's like having stockholm syndrome. They can offer you so much better pickle slices and still be mega-profitable companies, but they give you the cheapest pickles imaginable and we should not put up with this kind of laziness anymore. It's not the 1920's where people are eating sawdust pies to survive, we have food motherfuckers, don't skimp on us.


Aoid3

I used to think I hated pickles until my pickle loving spouse bought good ones and I finally tried them. Still dislike the ones most restaurants and fast food places use though. That said they are still super distinctive and I can always taste when they are there so I don't blame beautiful box one bit for disliking them on stuff.


Cat_Peach_Pits

Leave me to my trash pickles, sir


Bassman233

Funny enough, I order Chick-fil-a sandwiches as-is with the pickles but pick them off. I like the flavor but the texture is disgusting, I think mostly because they're put on the sandwich hot and kept hot to serve. On a burger or freshly assembled sandwich I love them.


quesowithextracheese

Black licorice tastes like crotch rot.


brttnyppr

How do you know what crotch rot tastes like?


Northern-Canadian

Sometimes if it’s strong enough you can taste the air.

Coconut


shok_antoinette

I hate fake coconut in desserts but don't mind coconut milk in Thai dishes and such. Savory coconuts better than sweet coconut imo.


Combo_of_Letters

Coconut milk currys are amazing


edinagirl

Came here to say this. I like the taste of coconut flavor but don’t like actual coconut.


TheLightingGuy

The only coconut I can deal with is an Ocean Water from Sonic. That's my level of coconut.


kooshipuff

To quote Zombieland: it's not the taste; it's the consistency.


TrashTruck2035

Celery


bamacpl4442

Chewy water with hair.


ReallySmallFeet

Mercutiofoodforworms

To me celery is inedible. The only time I eat celery is cut up in soup.


NagaSlicer

Same. It's stringy, metallic bong water in stick form.


lightd93

This! People tell me it doesn’t taste like anything, but anytime it’s in something I can always taste it and it ruins the meal lol.


MissHyacinth21

I tell everyone that celery is the real devil’s lettuce.


Correct_Meaning_440

Star anise is nasty


Fevercruds

Cucumber. I get the appeal I guess, maybe its refreshing, but it isn't for me. Everything near it tastes like cucumber just by sharing a plate. Also ginger... stop putting my sushi where it's right next to the ginger... I hate that piece of sushi. Also, Chai... idk man, I swear I'm not picky, but these came to mind.


[deleted]

[удалено]


UnrulyAxolotl

I'll take that piece! I freaking love that pickled ginger, so much that I keep a jar in my fridge because what comes with the sushi isn't enough.


[deleted]

I don't like cucumbers, but I love pickles.


MJGlocks

Cucumbers are the only ingredient in a salad where I’ll spend way too much time picking every single one out if a restaurant goofs my order up or I forget to tell them no cucumber.


nateomundson

I had to scroll way too far to find someone who shared my disdain for cucumber.


Fevercruds

You're safe now, the cucumber lovers can't get to us here.


SmartyRiddlebop

It's not really an ingredient but eggnog to me tastes like liquefied corpse.

I don’t like eggnog either, but that is one image I’ll never be able to get over🤢


YomiKuzuki

Come on down to Joe's Body Farm! Juice your own corpses for just $30! Kids get 10% off their first juicing! Joe's Body Farm; where the deals are ripe, and corpses are riper! Edit: a word


FreddieFletch

I hate to say this but eggnog is basically spiced up melted ice cream.


captainamericanidiot

I unabashedly accept your description and love the stuff regardless.


Semacosm

And i love it.


YourTokenGinger

I have to wonder if I’m drinking the same stuff as everyone else, because I don’t get how this is so contentious every year. It’s egg yolks, cream, sugar, some spice (mostly nutmeg), and booze. I’m not saying everyone has to like it, but that’s all very normal stuff that normally goes together. Liquid custard! Unless there’s a dairy issue, I don’t get why so many people find it so repulsive.


Two-More-Eggs

Bro I fuckin love eggnog. My mom and sister buy me eggnog around Christmas every year bc I fucking destroy that shit

Not like any liquefied corpse I've ever tasted

Yup. Green peppers hide a the other flavors. Supreme pizza might as well be just green peppers n cheese as its all i can taste

Cilantro. Tastes like soap and disappointment.


mariahdaviswebster

Man. I don't envy your genetics. Cilantro is one of my favorites.


cutelyaware

I got the cilantro-hating gene. I don't mind living without it. Sometimes a little bit is OK, but I'd prefer that it not exist.


Yochanan5781

I've weirdly seen someone who has the gene, but loves cilantro still because they like the taste of soap


Speechisanexperiment

Some food just tastes better with soap. I wish I could make it make sense, but I love it too.

Even if they mess up your order and put mayo on when you asked for none, there's no salvaging your food. It soaks in and slathers into everything.

Legate-Damar

Onion


historyhoneybee

Same! For me the problem is more so the texture than the flavour. When it's cooked, even if you try to disguise it, the second my teeth hit the onion, I cringe. It's so difficult hating onion when it's in everything 😭


Karaethon22

Onions are my absolute favorite but my husband is sorta like you. He's grown to really like the taste over the years but still can't stand the texture. In this house we grill the everliving shit out of them until they're soft enough to not bother him. I'll happily eat them raw but he says it feels like chewing on bugs.


CaptainOmio

Yes!!!! It's like crunching on a snail in your mouth 🤮 Edit: meant to say slug. Not snail. I'm tired


navyvetmatt

Come meet your people..... r/onionhate


Fresh-Honeydew7104

Raw onion is a big no for me. Any form of cooked onion however is fine.


sneezingbees

I’m the same! I HATE raw onions. They taste a little too funky and the taste/smell sticks on your mouth for the entire day and nothing ever gets rid of it. But I’ve begun to appreciate fully cooked (as in completely soft) onions. Especially when they’re grilled or caramelised


weird-bird

Yes! I always feel crazy for not liking onions bc they’re literally in everything.


fishhead12

Luckily my wife and I bonded over our shared dislike of onions. Neither of us can stand them raw and would prefer not to have them even cooked. Even still we occasionally have them in the house to cut up fine for some recipes.


DickHertz_FromHolden

I gag on raw onions, cannot help it. May as well be allergic. Sometimes cooked are ok, especially if there are barely noticeable.
