    My OH will eat everything except apple crumble and corn on the cob. I won't eat mushrooms, olives, courgettes, marrows, auborgines, fishy fish, blue cheese, steak, pork scratchings, turkish delight. I could go on forever, I think I'm the most fussy eater in the world!

    The only thing I cannot eat is bananas. I can't swallow them. The thought of them makes me gag. But at the moment can't most things. ? mornings sickness has really taking a hold this week!

    MrDD hates peas, where as me and C both love peas. He can't stand raisins/sultanas or any sort of dried fruit. He'll eat pretty much anything else I think

    I hate mushrooms and coffee or anything coffee flavoured. I don't like chutney, pickle, beetroot, vinegar, or anything pickled. I'm not a huge fan of curry either, I have to be in the right mood, and will only eat certain ones. I don't like sweet and sour, or savoury things with fruit in them, it just seems odd to me.

    C is only 16 months and will eat anything he's given at nursery, but is much more fussy at home - some days he'll refuse to eat something he's been eating only the week before!

    Oh I also have an aversion to warm red things?! I love tomatoes when they are cold in the fridge but if they are hot on a pizza or something they make me gag, same with red peppers too.

    I used to be really fussy when I was younger, am much better now though. The two main things I hate are tomato sauce things eg with pasta, spag bol. Yet I like fresh tomatoes. Similarly with eggs, I like boiled, fried/poached but don't like them mixed up in scrambled egg, omelette, quiche.

    My h will eat anything but pickled onions.

    Erin will anything except beefburgers.

    H isnt fussy at all and bubs isnt onto solids yet so milk it is!

    I used to be really really fussy but am so much better now. I struggle with cold seafood stuff though, can only eat hot prawns for example. I wont eat things like octopus which my H does, I can maybe have one bite of calamari!

    I wont eat things like liver, kidney or other offal bits, to me I cant once I know what it is. I dont like the taste or texture either (like I couldnt eat a steak and kidney pie).

    I'm really funny with meat and have to scrutinise it before I buy it for fatty bits or blood. I pull it apart if I havent got the meat myself, just cant help it.

    Believe it or not though I used to be far worse - wouldnt eat cheese (couldnt even touch it), tomatoes, garlic, milk, fish/seafood of any kind, red meat

    H hates cheese and fish and also says pasta bakes don't fill him up ?

    I don't like milk so nothing milky based like cream or rice pudding. A little custard is ok as is ice cream ? I don't like olives or jalepenos. I'm also not a very saucy person [boom boom] so too much mayo/seafood sauce will put me off.

    Deacon pretty much eats anything as does my dog ?

    If I was to list everything that I don't like/won't eat I would be here all day. I HATE tuna with a passion, in fact I would go as far as to say I have a phobia about it (not so much the tuna steaks, just the grey mushy stuff on sandwiches).

    I am such a fussy eater it's untrue. Until March of this year a was a strict veggie, but a vegetarian that doesn't like vegetables ?

    Here is a pic of my macaroni cheese wedding breakfast...


    I paid nearly £50 a head for that meal and it was a batchelors pasta and sauce!! (Just to let you know I did provide a 'proper' meal for the guests ?)

    I really really don't like chicken, pineapple and i'm not very good with seafood i can do prawns but that's about it. i'm also a bit rubbish with fish particularly if it still has the head on. I can't eat cream or icecream they make me sick!

    mr s doesn't do celery or coconut other than that he'll eat most things.

    eleanor is very very good however she can't eat strawberries they make her sick

    lucy has no opinion beyond her cow and gate!

    I'm vegetarian so obviously meat is out of the question and I don't eat any kind of fish either (Haven't for over 21 years).

    I don't like cheese apart from mild cheddar, olives, broad beans, kidney beans, rhubarb, pineapple, mango (But I like dried mango), Kiwi fruit, wotsits.

    I like cooked tomatoes, but not raw.

    I'm really bad with my food, H2B thinks I should have counselling, silly man!

    I can't eat spaghetti cos it reminds me of worm being in my mouth. I can;t chew something for too long like bread cos it makes me gag and I can't watch someone eat butter on it's own cos I'll be physically sick. Rice reminds me of maggots so I can't eat that very often.

    Alot of things I wont eat because of the texture, if it goes in my mouth and feels wrong, I'll gag.

    I only started eating cheese last year and drinking milk. I used to have boiling water on my cereal ? I can't eat cheese as it is, it has to be melted or have something crunchy with it. I'll never be able to drink milk on it's own, it has to be in cereal and left to go soggy for 10 mins before I touch it. I think it's psychological cos it's an animal by-product. Not a cat in hell's chance I'd ever have Goat's cheese, took years for me to eat cows cheese, I can't see me ever having goats, makes me feel ill thinking of it!

    I only tried cous cous this year cos I thought I wouldn't like the tiny balls in my mouth (That sounds SO bad lol!) but I tried it and love it now!

    I go through phases where I can't have eggs in any shape or form, I can probably eat them twice a year (Which is stupid cos I get eggs daily from my chickens!!) I start thinking about them far too much and just picture myself eating a foetus! ?

    There are many many more but I can't think right now.

    I CANNOT eat or stand or look at or be near bananas. I have hated them since i was a baby. Yuck!

    Only thing OH doesn't eat is cucumber.

    I eat all meats but I am extremely over-paranoid that it won't be cooked properly so normally eat it black ?

    I must confess Im a really fussy eater but also have a severe shellfish allergy which is a shame as prawns used to be my favourite snack! My FIL seems to think this is just another one of my food fads though and even just recently at a barbecue he placed the cooked prawn skewers on top of the pile of meat that had already been cookd meaning I couldnt eat any of it!

    O god I am the world's worst eater. I am also really bad if people are eating stuff I hate near me too, so if I am in a restaurant and I can smell fish then it puts me off and will make me feel sick. I'm with people on the bananas are evil too, to me it is like eating sick.

    The H however will eat anything except tomatoes

    There's quite a lot of stuff i won't eat, but i'm a hell of a lot better than i used to be.

    I don't like:

    Eggs, mayo, melted cheese, fish (except tuna and fishcakes) or seafood, mushrooms, offal, not too fussed about salad really, raw toms (only eat cooked ones), veg like cauliflower and broccoli and cabbage, mango, cream (except ice cream) , milk on it's own, olives, parsnips, oranges (but like orange flavoured stuff usually), coffee (but like coffee cake and chocs), coconut. There's probably loads more but can't think right now.

    H2B doesn't like:

    Eggs and any fish/seafood

    I can't eat olives (seriously, they are rogue grapes, your mouth is expecting a yummy sweet grape and you get foosty olive taste instead, bleurgh) or cloves. And I refuse to eat offal of any sort. Other than that there's not much I won't give a go. H claims repeatedly to be "really easy to feed". Yes, provided all you try to feed him is pasta bake or toad in the hole! He will point blank refuse: tomatoes, peppers, beetroot, peas, anything which has been within 10 feet of an aubergine. He will try to evade chicken, anything with the words "low fat" on the packet or anything he "isn't in the mood for", which makes meal planning an utter nightmare.

    But pork scratchings are so wrong, yet so right ?

    I don't like prawns or pineapple. Everything else is fair game

    H doesn't like Brussel sprouts and mint chocolate (I'm not a fan of mint chocolate either to be honest)

    I struggle to understand when people say they don't like fish as it eliminates a whole food group. Salmon is totally different to skate, which is totally different to cod which is totally different to trout etc...

    Ahh but only if they're crunchy all the way through. Pork scratchings are the russian roulette of the snack world - even with careful examiniation you can't eliminate the possibility of getting a squishy one ?

    But rare steak is so delicious and tender. Well done steak is rubbery and tasteless. You should try beef cooked medium at least to see the difference - it's perfrctly safe. The only meat that needs to be thoroughly cooked is chicken. Duck can be eaten pink, as can pork and lamb
