Weird food preferences

Do you have any preferences or dislikes for certain foods that others might view as odd?

I've never really liked white rice. My mom occasionally made chicken and rice, which my dad loved, but I couldn't stand. Then, when I was 16, she began buying brown rice and I found I actually enjoyed it. Now, whenever I eat rice, it has to be brown rice. Most people apparently prefer white rice, so I guess I'm weird for liking brown rice and hating the white stuff (similar preferences for bread, though I don't mind white bread.)

As for meats, I find the aroma of boiled chicken to be really unpleasant. I like the taste of chicken soup, but I feel like I have to fight the smell to enjoy it. I also don't like eating cold cuts unless they're heated or fresh from the deli. Literally, seeing someone eat sliced deli-style ham from a package makes me sick.

I'm not really picky about vegetables, except for disliking cabbage.


White American cheese is unappetizing to me but I don't have a problem with yellow. #cheeseracism

When it comes to seafood I like some things others find gross like anchovies, sardines and octopus.

Recently, I had guacamole with grasshoppers. Dat shit was bangin'. The grasshoppers tasted like bacon.
I've eaten crickets before. They're surprisingly decent tasting but they're not something you should eat if you're starving since they have about 9 calories per serving.
For some reason I can't stand Rice Krispies cereal, but Rice Krispies treats are okay.
I probably would be fine with Vegemite if it wasn't anywhere near a cubic inch of that stuff.

I can put everything there is on the fridge between two slices of bread (at once) and I'll most likely enjoy it.
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
I always eat Spiegeleier with Suppenwürze, which most Germans would consider quite weird, but thiat was pretty common inside my family.

I'll take cheese on top of anything. For some reason, it enhances the flavor on whatever I'm taking.
I'm pretty picky. I also get a lot of hate for... hating foods that many others enjoy. This includes pizza, for instance. I cannot stand the smell at all, it makes me nauseous and it just looks disgusting to me. Other random stuff like cheese are the same, though it doesn't look disgusting, the smell is just horribly unpleasant. I dislike most foods that other people like so I'll spare you the long list, but that's me.

Taste is quite weird, but I never understood people who hate other people for having unconventional taste. It's not like you had any influence on your taste and on what you like or dislike. For all I know, we might very well all taste very different things when eating the same food. After all, taste is just the brain interpreting certain stimulations in certain ways and it's most probable that the brains of different people interpret the same things in different ways.

On the matter of food I hate which most other people love: I absolutely can't stand mushrooms. They're disgusting to me. Even weirder: I'm extremely sensitive to certain types of herbs, including parsley and coriander. Most people don't even notice those at all, while I can taste even the smallest amounts of them in a big meal. Unfortunately they both taste quite disgusting to me, so having just small amounts of them in a meal will usually spoil it for me. To me, coriander makes any food taste like soap, which is really weird. As for parsley, I can't really describe the taste aside from saying that it's quite extreme and unbearable.

mushrooms are only good if they've been cooked in some sort of sauce imo - they sop up the taste very well. the texture takes some getting used to but they're basically taste amplifiers
I fucking love (fried) spinach. It's by far my favorite leaf, I could eat a whole plate of it. Spinach fritters and omelette, and creamy cheesy spinach rice are also amazing. I also love chicken heart barbecue, and for my surprise I found out it's not that common out there, so maybe it can be considered weird for foreigners, I don't know.

I hate beef liver. That smell, that texture, that dreadful yellow-y liquid that comes out of it. Ugh. #wario{:puke:}

Cucumber is a dish destroyer for me. It can pretty much ruin any plate with its smell. Can't stand it at all. Don't like olives as well but at least they don't spread their flavor throughout the whole dish like cucumber does.
@MercuryPenny: Meh, I have given mushrooms in a lot different shapes and preparations a chance and they just weren't for me. Whether they were raw, cooked, fried, deep-fried, breaded, on a pizza, in a soup, in a salad, in a sauce or whatever, they just always tasted and felt quite disgusting to me. Their smell is also quite bad for me, like it's trying to say "piss off, this is mushroom territory". The worst thing about this: Most of my family members don't only love mushrooms, but actively collect them each fall. This was quite horrible when I still lived with my parents, because each fall season they would bring baskets full of mushrooms collected in the woods home, then my mother would prepare them, making the whole house reek of mushrooms, which I couldn't bear. At least she never forced me to eat them.

really love mixing ham with mayo
Ever tried putting melted Swiss cheese on a hotdog?

You'll thank me later.

Omelets are absolutely disgusting to me. I can't stand the smell of fresh rice or scrambled eggs with no seasoning. Oven baked chicken makes me wanna vomit.

As for things I do like, I love Calamari (squid) with a passion. I've only tried octopus once, but it was really good.

Also does having a siracha addiction count as a weird food preference?
also for some reason i've never really enjoyed seafood, even heavily-seasoned salmon isn't particularly good imo
Octopus and calamari/squid taste really nice. Then again I really like seafood.
Also white rice is not tasty at all without soy sauce for me. A lot of it.

I'm in love with calamari! I haven't had it in a while, but I wish I could try it again. I don't think liking calamari is weird though.

Fried seafood is a good option as well.
Vegetarian here. I survive mostly on cheese and bread.


I friggin' love Kraft grated Parmesan cheese. I'll eat it straight and also on most things. Other brands taste nasty in comparison.
Well, let's talk about weird...
My habits only consists of fruits, vegetables, seafood, grains and stuff considered healthy.
Yes, so I generally don't consume sweets, oily stuff, soda, fried stuff and a whole lot of stuff people normally like.

To a lesser extent, Ice Cream is my guilty pleasure, although one day I ate so much I became really sick and since then, I became even less used to eat anything like that.
Хуй войне!
