@kimlockhartga UK here, they're quite popular with people who like bready fruit things.

I think they're disgusting myself... eaten by sociopaths who also like things like fruit scones and fruit cake.

Nutters... the lot of em. 🤔 😆

@Anomnomnomaly Ha ha ha! You don't like dried fruit, I take it? I love cranberry orange scones, and I'm in the U.S.

@kimlockhartga

I'm adverse to the majority of foods really... some for dietary reasons , others simply because the taste or texture disgusts me.

Some foods I can eat one way... but not any other... and others I can eat a variety of ways except a few specific ones.

Give me almost anything with caramelised onion in it, and I'll yum it up. Cheese, sausages... give me onion rings... nomnomnom... crispy onion and blue cheese on top of a steak... heavenly.

But put big chunks of onion in a casserole, or a pie... cooked in any kind of sauce/gravy... and they go slimy and make me want to vomit.

Carrots... soft, in a casserole, roasted with a honey and black pepper glaze... nomnomnom... raw... I'll hurl in your face.

Salds... I can safely say... the number of salad items I like and will eat... ZERO.

I think part of it as an autism thing, and another part is literally being force fed disgusting foods as a kid. I remember walking into the school canteen in middle school and having to run out and be sick because of the smell. banana, cabbage... both turn my stomach... as an example.

@Anomnomnomaly Texture is a huge thing for a lot of folx. I dated a girl who could not tolerate squishy foods.
@kimlockhartga @Anomnomnomaly texture is about 75% of my food yucks. Like, I abhor raw tomato but love most red sauces and salsas as long as they do not have tomato lumps. I buy Rao's marinara as the basis for my own and run it through the blender first to de-lumpify it. I won't eat mushrooms of any kind but love a mushroom reduction on a steak. Calamari, eh nothing will ever make that rubbery fish-bait not gag-worthy. Same with mussels and oysters, esp. the latter: slimy cold loogies. Nope.

@david @kimlockhartga

This is the perfect example... raw tomato... yuck, cooked tomatos, tomato based sauces... yum.
