Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for January 26, 2012

Today’s “Daddy’s Home” Comic & question:What food do you HATE?

Oatmeal, cream of wheat and bananas, it’s a texture thing.

Rye bread (gag)

Cauliflower especially when it is over cooked!!!

Fish, tofu, soy milk, any kind of bread but plain white, sweet potatoes.

Rye bread is a big one for me, too. Another is coconut. Cannot stand the stuff!

Green beans, waxed beans spinach, green peas, tofu, most all fruit except cantelope, blueberries and rasperries, pancakes & waffles, sushi, chocolate & finally coffee.

Beets top my list, then soggy corn flakes, then several cooked veggies (which I find odd, since I love cole slaw, assorted veggie dips and raw carrots).

okra and liver

Okra and overcooked greens. Slime!

Liver, cauliflower, liver, brussel sprouts, liver and chicken gizzards. Oh, and liver, too.

broccoli, Brussels sprouts (super yuck!), liver, most cabbage, corn, most cooked veggies, pumpkin – i’m a supertaster – almost anything strongly flavored is too much for me. i don’t even like chocolate very much.

mushrooms, especially cooked mushrooms.

Most foods taste fine when properly cooked (or raw) but I’ve never had okra or nopales that lost the ICK, and never had any tofu that I liked either (tho I understand there may be better types).

If you never liked cabbage, you should try it fried in just enough mix of butter and mild oil (after shedding – just until it is all carmelized). Serve warm with some cold plain yogurt or sour cream. YUM!

I would have to go with squash, Liver, and anything with curry.

i used to gag on squash. literally. now i can eat it. it still is not my favorite, but i can get it down.

also, how is it that when i zoom on The Barn Yard i get Daddys Home to pop up, but when i zoom in D.H. i get D.H. ? go figure.

Mango, papaya ….

I avoid beets unless they are pickled same for string beans.

Cabbage and any cabbage-derived food (like cole slaw or brussel sprouts)

cheese! (except mozzarella)

When I was a kid, I never needed that trick. My mother never learned to cook, so we used the hollow legs under the formica table (I’d never do that now -very phobic of bugs) but by the time I was 13, I was the full time family cook (1950).

@ redhead, never tryed eel and agree on raw escargot (even oysters are horrid when raw, but great baked with good sauce and spinach. The tentacles of calamari are just great too when fried as an appetizer but the bodies have to be in a more complex dish. I used to make them with rice for my X.

@Saxie, I cannot understand a dislike for cheese (unless you have an allergy). I also don’t understand anyone who dislikes ALL fruits or ALL vegetables! Those who find themselves in that situation need to find a place to eat things that are well prepared if they want to be able to consume normal foods.
