in general I like the more mild tasting cheeses. As a child I couldn't stand tasting creamy dressings, especially ranch. I was as Catalina (red french) dressing eater, and if that wasn't available I would take Italian.

as for other foods, green vegetables tend to be too bitter or have an off-putting flavor to them. Onions and garlic need to be cooked. Meat needs to be fully cooked. Under-cooked meat or sushi has a very slimy texture so I won't eat it.

I guess i'm a pickier eater than I expected. I could go on but i'll stop here.

The title of this topic, "Hatred of Cheese", just cracks me up for some reason.

Yum! It is like eating sweet snow. Lovely smell, taste and texture. Really refreshing.

Fascinating the difference between everyone's sense of taste. I wonder if watermelon tastes different to you than me.


It's really weird because if someone is eating it near me but I can't see it, I can smell it and it makes me feel ill. What's weirder is that my dad had the same problem, I somehow inherited it from him. About the taste, I would never put it my mouth so I can't tell you.

Hi everyone.

I know many of us have trouble with certain stronger foods due to sensory issues... mine manifests most strongly as a strong revulsion to Cheese. I also struggle a bit with really strong cream dressings (for example, if I have a Caesar salad with really strong dressing). Even if I enjoy the flavour itself, I begin to feel very overwhelmed by the strong sensations and my gag reflex will often kick in.

Just wondering what kind of food sensitivities other people have?


Maybe you're lactose intolerant, and your head instinctly avoids stuff that your body cant digest anyway. Cheese, and cream dressing are both diary based. Just a thought.

The first time I tried blue cheese, I nearly vomited. Never again.

...Although having said that, I used to HATE Feta cheese, but that changed after daring myself to try it for the first time in years (it was a free sample at a festival). The same can't be said for olives though, they're still vile :lol:

I can't say I've ever tried blue cheese on its own, but I really like the blue cheese Doritos they bring out every so often. I wish they would make it a permanent flavor, rather than some limited time thing.

As for olives, I hate them with a passion. Fortunately a lot of other people do too, including some of the people I live with. :P

I think what you should take in mind, is that the sensitivity for the different tastes (sweet, bitter, salty...) changes scientifically proved when getting older. So even when actually disliking something, it does not mean not to give it a chance every few years. As a younger one until teenie years, even the smell of olives was horrible for me. However, when I tried some with age 28 again, they suddenly tasted really interesting. While as a younger one they simply tasted overwhelming bitter for me, and beside of an gigantic "buah.." I could not taste anything about them, the bitter note is now much more sensitive and I can taste now very different flavors in them. Its quiet similar to coffee or beer, around here its pretty usual to let your kids have a sip once on an coffee or an beer, because naturally for kids they simply taste horribly bitter, and they wont have the intenste to taste them again for some years. XD

Me and friends of mine as well tested out of fun once, certain sweeties and candies, that we loved as very small kids...so some of them were now really horrible intense sweet now. XD

Heh, tell me about it. When I was younger I loved Pizza Pops and Chef Boyardi, nowadays I find that they're fairly bland unless you dose them with a good amount of hot sauce, or melted cheese. Actually, for whatever reason, I find that I rather enjoy eating Chef Boyardi cold straight from the can, but it has more to do with the slobbish, hedonistic thrill of it than anything else. :P

i used to like exceptionally rich foods, and i ate them almost to exclusion of healthy meals.

i used to use pure cream on my special k and coco-pops. yuk. i used pure cream to make scrambled eggs 3 times a week.

very much yuck.

there are foods that will clog one up, but thankfully, the appetite adjusts to a milder regimen as one ages.

I don't think I'm sensitive to any kinds of food or drinks. I'm a big cheese lover and I can't live without it. My favorites are the Cracker Barrel and Sargento brands, Philly cream cheese and the Laughing Cow.

Hi all.

Believe me... when I accidentally try cheese (don't realize it is in something, etc), I know immediately and my gag reflex kicks in fully within about 0.5 seconds. My taste senses feel completely overwhelmed. It is a different sensation to just stuff I don't like. (Example, not fond of turnips but can still eat them). I cannot eat cheese, I become violently ill from the taste very fast.

I'm definitely not lactose intolerant. I probably drink too much milk on a regular basis and never get sick. I have been drinking milk fine for years but haven't been able to eat cheese my entire life. (On top of that, most cheeses have little to no lactose anyways, definitely less than milk).

And I have other tastes that have adapted. An example of which is olives for myself actually. Hated them as a child, love them now. I don't think cheese is ever going to change for me.

Anyways, was just curious which is why I posted this thread.
