Anyone got an irrational fear/hatred of a particular food? I can't abide bananas for some reason.

    Fish.

    It looks ugly and smells bad. There's no way it can be good for you.

    I absolutely detest tomato's to the point I made the girl I work with leave our room yesterday due to her eating a pasta in tomato sauce.

    Just thinking about it making me feel ill....

    Semolina. They used to force feed it to us in primary school and the dollop of jam didn't make it taste any better. Makes me feel sick just thinking about it....

    not a phobia but I don't like hot food that's been left to go cold. How people can put a chinese or indian takeaway in the fridge then eat it the next morning I don't know.

    Stu, don't you eat pizza or have Ketchup with chips then?

    I'm one of them. I hate the bloody things (all stickers in general to be honest). I hate even more the idiot crap headed wastes of oxygen who feel they have to exhibit the healthy eating habits by applying their fruit stickers to their monitors.

    I can honestly say I will eat almost anything.

    Except testicles form any animal.

    Saw them in a Greek/Lebanese place (I know they are miles away from each other) once and just thought. No

    Sco, I'm also terrified of bananas - the other kids used to chase me around school with them. It was a real-life version of that Monty Python sketch where John Cleese teaches self-defence against attacskers wielding fresh fruit.

    That's the irrational part, I don't mind Tommy K (Heinz only) or pizza, but anything else makes me sick.

    My ex's mum used to try so hard to get me to eat them, she tried everything, hiding them in food, blending them into mash, she even once threatened to not let me stay the night if I didn't eat at least a little bite of the tomato claiming 'these are nice ones' bloody ridiculous, why can't people just accept some people don't like certain things.

    In the middle ages and later many people in Britain though that the then new tomatoes were poisonous. Tomatos are also a fruit not a vegetable. That's all my tomato trivia used up.

    My 8 yo will eat just about anything which means we can take him out to eat at proper restuarants and give him a varied diet but some many of his friends are so fussy it is unbelievable and won't try anything new.

    THEY ARE!

    Imagine being told 'if you don't eat that you have nowhere to sleep' not fun, I can tell you.

    Kid's birthday parties-eh, nightmare!

    Their parents obviously don't subscribe to the "they'll eat when they are hungry" theory that i use, and both of my girls will eat anything.
