I can't stand mushrooms. Cooked, they're slimy and I suspect them of actually being the slugs they resemble. Unfortunately Rem loves mushrooms (with everything - he'll turn into one!) and is constantly trying to convert me. I avoid them with the unstoppable argument that I'm on a low-residue diet, though we have an ongoing debate as to whether a fungus can be compared to a vegetable in terms of insoluble fibre content.
I also hate onions - again, I can't eat them anyway, but I never liked them because they're slimy (we have a theme). The annoying thing is how often you find them in otherwise respectable food.
Leeks - atrocious. Tesco used to do a lovely chicken and leek pie. I picked the leeks out, but their sliminess disgusted me anyway. Then Tesco added absurd amounts of pepper to the pie and RUINED it, the cochons.
I don't like it when meat has bits of gristle or fat in. ANY bits of gristle or fat. I have no tolerance for this.
Oh, and lettuce (again, a food I have an excuse to avoid) is just flappy and flat and doesn't let itself be chewed. Oddly enough I loved cabbage as a kid and I really miss it, but spinach revolts me. It's sloppy and it even SMELLS green. It's like wet grass.
