What's your favorite food...that your family/housemates hate?

[ihaveaquestion]

Mine is tuna casserole, like from the 1960's with noodles, tuna, and mushroom soup. Just the smell chases my family away, lol!

[DBoon]

1. Kimchi

Love it - full of yummy garlic, chili and salt

Wife hates it - full of garlic, chili and salt

[ihaveaquestion]

23. Yum!

[Walleye]

2. Scrapple

[hlthe2b]

7. No organ meats, no intestine, no chicken feet... Uggh Obvioulsy no scrapple, no haggis, no chittlins

[Walleye]

11. It puts everyone off.

I never eat it now, but when we were kids we had it for breakfast all the time. It’s regional

[ihaveaquestion]

22. Nope! Just tried it once... still remember it and shudder!

[hlthe2b]

3. That is the one dish my sister and I would both agree on. The ultimate "comfort" food.

I love guacamole--my sister, no damned way.
I love pico de gallo with cilantro... Hardly anyone else I know can stand cilantro.
I will eat ANY bean EXCEPT lima beans... Uggh. My extended family loves them.

Different strokes and all that...

4. Creamed beef on toast!!

Mr Poo calls it s#!t on a shingle. 5 kids in his family growing up and it was served weekly at his house. He refuses to eat it. Stouffers used to make it and it was good. I’d buy it for myself. Haven’t seen it for a while but now I’m hungry for it!

[mr_lebowski]

9. They still do make it, I've seen it at my local Safeway (nt)

[Walleye]

10. I love it. Stouffers still makes it.

[ihaveaquestion]

19. I agree with Mr. Poo!

I used to watch troops in an Army mess hall getting breakfast - eggs, pancakes, meats, etc. - and then having SOS poured over the whole plate. Disgusting to look at (probably tastes great).

[Delmette2.0]

29. I just made some from scratch over the weekend.

It's a comfort food for me.

[luvs2sing]

5. Chili!

I could make chili once a month. My husband will eat it maybe twice a year. He loves his Hungarian grandmother’s fried noodles and cabbage. I hate anything with cooked cabbage. So whenever I make chili, he makes a huge pot of noodles and cabbage, and we’re both happy. However, our house smells really..interesting..for a few days.

[ihaveaquestion]

24. I make vegetarian chili once a month or so.

Thankfully, everyone loves it.

[BusyBeingBest]

6. Love tuna casserole--your version is my version

that I grew up on, buttered breadcrumbs on top--although my kids liked it whenever I made it, my husband was not a fan. I sometimes buy the Stouffers frozen dinner version, it's similar. My husband and younger son eat oatmeal, and I can't fathom why anyone would eat flavorless paste. My mom loved Cream of Wheat, and nobody else would touch it--a comedian named Ivan Decker described it as tasting exactly like the inside of your mouth, LOL. That's how I feel about oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits, etc.

[Saviolo]

12. Oatmeal doesn't have to be boring!

This version that my hubby developed is delicious, creamy, rich, and has an amazing texture from the chia:

[hlthe2b]

14. Sounds goo, but I may be able to beat that... Cold winters, oatmeal with Nutella!

[BusyBeingBest]

15. That was neat! I'll show it

to my husband and see if he wants to "tart up" his oatmeal this way, thanks.

[ihaveaquestion]

25. I love the little crunch of chia.

I'll have to get some and add it to oatmeal!

[mr_lebowski]

8. You would chase me away with that one as well ... never liked tuna unless it's sushi ...

I have no family or housemates to complain, so ...

[Thyla]

13. Vegemite

[ihaveaquestion]

21. Sorry, but YUCK!

[northoftheborder]

16. I like dry cereal, especially mixed whole grain types with various dried fruits and nuts....

... my children ate Cheerios, etc., but you can't catch any of them now eating any dry cereal.....
I hate oatmeal and never served it to them, but they like it as grown ups... go figure! Rebellion!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Rhubarb, as a sauce.

Very simple! My mom used to make it as a treat for me and my brother and we always loved it!

My husband and daughters? BLECH! OK, fine--more for me!

[japple]

38. Love that stuff. I made Rhubarb & peach jam last year and it was heavenly. I like it

in pie, stewed and served on top of vanilla ice cream or any other way imaginable.

[Arkansas Granny]

18. Spam. My kids roll their eyes, but I like the stuff.

BTW, I also love tuna casserole.

[ihaveaquestion]

26. I've always liked spam too :)

Not allowed to eat it anymore though

[japple]

39. I like SPAM. Ate a ton of it growing up. All the other army brats I knew ate it too. We

loved it. Esp. fried in a skillet with cheese on top.

[Demsrule86]

43. So did Navy brats like me...but I hate hate it.

[Kali]

20. I'm the one more likely to be grossed out by stuff, and my son loves all kinds of things

but for your question probably curry - the husband will eat it but I know he doesn't really like it and his face always sort of falls when he smells/realizes that is what I am making.

[ihaveaquestion]

27. Curry is lovely!

It's on my list to learn how to cook.

[lkinwi]

28. I eat steel cut oats with a side of cottage cheese almost every morning for breakfast.

Each spoonful has a little cottage cheese and a little oatmeal. Everyone thinks it sounds terrible, until they try it.

[Delmette2.0]

30. Beef liver with onions and fried potatoes.

I know, I know organ meats are not good for you, but once every five years should be ok.

[blueinredohio]

32. I love liver and onions. Can't handle oatmeal, grits pudding or hello.

I think it's the texture. I hate anything "squishy".

[Delmette2.0]

33. I totally understand.

[ihaveaquestion]

34. My mother thought I would 'grow into' liking liver.

At 36, I told her it wasn't going to happen and she finally gave up on me. I still don't like liver. Just one of those things you either love or hate I guess.

[Delmette2.0]

35. It is one one of those foods that a person likes or doesn't.

My son's only had to try it once and I never asked them again. They did ask me to not cook it when they were around. lol.

[japple]

40. Ixnay on the iverlay. I'll have a double helping of fried potatoes with onions, though.

The smell of it cooking makes me nauseous. My late husband gave up on cooking it at home and just ordered it whenever we ate out.

[Delmette2.0]

41. Well, this is a name I don't see very often

I've had to take advantage of any restaurant that has it on the menu.

[japple]

45. Hi right back at you! You never know who will crawl out of the woodwork

during this lock down!

[dem in texas]

31. Mincemeat Pie

I love mincemeat Pie, my old boy, children, grandchildren all turn their noses up at it. Too bad; I still make a mincemeat pie at Christmas.

[japple]

37. Dang, I forgot about mincemeat pie. I love it and no one else in my family does. :-(

[japple]

36. Beets! Pickled beets, roasted beets, Harvard beets. Oh, and turnips and rutabaga

cooked just about any way they can be cooked. I love these veggies and my family doesn't. Also, winter squashes.

[ihaveaquestion]

42. Me too! I love most vegies.

My family won't eat beets, winter squash, or brussel sprouts. That's ok. More for me 👍

[eleny]

44. Beets soup - hot or cold versions

[MissMillie]

46. guacamole

my guy HATES it.

I love it.


We're pretty compatible when it comes to food ingredients, but in execution we often disagree.
