what's a food that you think looks cool, but tastes gross?

Back to Food & Drink

just what it sounds like! give ur opinion on a food that LOOKS like it should be scrumptious for ya, but actually just...isn't. :/ lemme go first 'ere...


for me? it's zucchini. the name combined with its appearance resembling a more civilized cucumber really makes me wanna try it when the opportunity arises, but...idk, then i remember it's a squash and tastes really weird to me, so i always end up trashing it :[

I have to go now. My planet needs me. :3

oh my gosh i have the same sentiment for zucchini. i've never liked it !! same with squash. in theory it looks good, but the texture and actual taste of it is just... so gross...

also another really specific one for me would have to be ants on a log. IT ALWAYS HAS LOOKED SO GOOD TO ME. unfortunately i don't like celery, don't like raisins (ew ew ew) and i'm not the biggest fan of peanut butter. :,3

@flanzombie <3 i can share your thoughts on ants on a log, but sort of inverted? for one thing i absolutely ADORE peanut butter and will eat almost anything including it or flavored like it...buuuuut the raisins are too chewy and gross and quick sidebar: i hate when cinnamon rolls have raisins in them. i didn't order a raisin bun, i ordered a cinnamon bun!! >:/ i'll eat almost any other dried fruit, i just dislike the special treatment raisins have over actual GOOD dried fruit like apricot or mango

anyway, celery is good for a crunch but has no flavor, and if i want a healthy snack, i'll reach for a veggie that can provide the crunch and real taste like bell peppers (imo)

wowwww...it's amazing how much depth you can go into regarding your food pet peeves U3U

Does chocolate count? I can appreciate chocolate but I don't like the taste at all. 

@eevarrlee yeah i can see that! for me in particular it's those valentines' chocolates that come in the cute lil heart-shaped box...half of them have this cherry stuff in 'em that tastes of cough syrup and others have mint filling with the taste and texture of toothpaste... but mayyyybe i'm just not buyin' the right kind :P

two foods i cant stand eating, but enviously wish i could stomach: chicken and eggs XD

i haven't eaten either food in over a decade now, and i only ever ate them as a child because my family was the type to force you to finish your food and not let you eat anything else until you did. i really dislike the taste and smell of both, eggs especially so - i gotta leave the room if i smell someone cooking or eating them. but gosh, chicken nuggets and fried chicken and chicken katsu all look so good, and a rich egg yolk atop some rice or noodles... theres a lot of chicken/egg foods that look so delicious, but i can't try or else i'll start gagging. :c

cute character calling on cell phone Stay giggly!

@muffie pretty wholeheartedly with ya on the whole egg thing...i see them in these ads for stuff like stir fry, ramen, and various chinese foods (all stuff i normally like) and look super yummy but, well...you know it's kind of a bad sign when i eat eggs with a deluge of hot sauce or pepper just so i don't actually have to taste them :/

and eggs don't smell TOO bad to me but the stench of pretty much anything involving cabbage or tuna makes me start to feel ill :s
