Just watching cooking programmes and thought I would try a fred on stuff these chefs go on about that I really don't want anywhere near my plate.
After considering celery and broad beans, I'm going to go for olive oil. Vile stuff I wouldn't deworm the dog with.
Mrs Guest has suggested avocados, with which I can only concur.

Cous-cous

.

Very little yet although I haven't been anywhere truly exotic. Underdone gizzard salad in France was yucky and I thought I'd try donkey in Sardinia but I chickened out in the end.

Ask Popeye

Sweet potato. Simply doesn't make any sense to me

Marrow

Broccoli...

Okra. a slimy mess.

Deworms cats?

Microwave braai

I can't think of any food I actively would never touch except, even if I was on a dinner date with the most gorgeous woman in the world (who happened to be a grower and lover of such produce), Beetroot.

Don't know why.

I love my fruit and veg - even broccoli (raw in a salad or dipped, baked in a quiche, or steamed with a dash of salt and some butter!).

... but have never had a good pear. Creamed corn is a waste of corn, imo. Don’t get the mushing of peas.

vegeterian dishes & recipes and in particualr anything 'fake' veggies, like veggies burgers and sausages.

All my meals require the main portion is derived from a dead animal.

wtf? who? shoot them dead

Aubergines. Can hardly spell the fuckers

Quite a few Pacific Island veggies are done in coconut milk.
I hate them all.

Boiled fish ugh!

Never been fond of radish
I cant eat uncooked green bell peppers, just kills my guts.

Mushy peas are an abomination and I would thoroughly support re-education camps for anyone who favours them.

Complete waste of a vegetable.

Any offal, sweetbreads etc. The smell of my wife making stock makes me gag and leave the house.

In saying that, just been given a massive black pudding (massive) which I don’t mind but not greatly keen on. Any recipes to make it nice?

Butternut and or pumpkin.

Swede, Kale and Brussel Sprouts can all fuck right off

Baked beans and tomato ketchup

I forgot kale

How does a chef in SA even have a job without enjoying those vegetables?

Agreed re boiled fish, I don’t like the idea of whole fish soups and stews full of bones and skin. Agreed re the awfulness of sprouts as well.
Oh and tripe as well, smells of dead sheep,

Calamari.

This, a waste of beans and tomatoes

This, I agree with. The rest of you are palestines.

(Though there are but few paths to successful broccoli).

A fresh squid tube halved, scored, dressed in olive oil, chilli and garlic then briefly seared over very hot charcoal is delicious. Pre-prepared calamari rings not so much.

These onion rings taste fishy.

I was given some last week and don't like food waste so explored options. It took a long time, but broiled them in the oven at a lower temp, after brushing with a bit of oil and dashing with salt, until crispy. Really nice.

Also useful when baked into stuff - zucchini bread (really a sweet loaf with nuts, choc chips, etc) is something my gran used to make a lot. Allows you to pretend you're getting some vitamins.

Even better in a squid ink risotto

Anything with meat or dairy involves entering an ethical-free zone.

Cauliflower and cucumber are the devil's work as well.

Sushi.

I like most cuisines, but sushi is just bland and horrible and cold. And if it does have flavour, it's often too much vinegary
