1 point: raw fish. Can’t get my head round it. Ive never had a raw oyster but would be happy to try.

Sprouts, liver, blue cheese and snails for me! Other than those, feed me 😋

Oh boy. 18. I have a strong aversion to many of these.
Anything vinegar-derived I can't tolerate, so that rules out vinegar itself along with any sort of pickle or vinegar-based sauce or dressing. I used to do wet photography and used acetic acid (essentially white vinegar) as a stop bath when developing film, so for me the process was: preheat, developer, stop bath, violent retch, bleach-fix, wash, hang film up to dry.
Eggs and cheese I've always loathed. It's a smell and texture thing because I'm fine with cheesecake. I was given a silver egg cup and spoon as a christening gift when I was a baby and I've always felt vaguely guilty at never having used them. Perhaps I'll try a creme egg in there some day.
Oysters, shrimp and the like revolt me. Raw fish: just no; cooking is a thing humans know how to do now. Tomatoes look like they ought to be delicious but they lie, the bastards. Tomato ketchup is tomatoes infused with evil.
Snails. Ye Gods, why? Of all the things in the world that can be eaten why would anyone say "You know what? I'll have that slimy chappy in the shell, because I want the experience of eating a slug but less convenient."

As a lot of sauces are vinegar based as you point out, there is not one sandwich she could eat from M&S. |

39 of the items I wouldn't eat at all. Milk & coconut I wouldn't eat on their own, only as part of recipes. Apples I will only eat cooked. Yogurt I only really like one flavour of one particular brand. Do I need to go on or have I won this one?!

16 for me (or 13 plus 3 half points) - mushrooms, aubergine and onions are disgusting, same with raw fish, shrimp, olives, blue cheese, liver, snails, tofu, oysters and pickles.
Oranges, pineapple and grapefruit I don't like eating but do drink their juice.
And I am definitely in the camp of hating Marmite.

7 for me.
Things like sprouts, mustard, snails, otherwise I'm fine with the rest of it.

I'm from the generation who got a clout, and were then sent to our room, if we ever left anything on our plate, so there's only three on the list that I wouldn't eat...not that snails or oysters were on the menu very often in the grim North!
As an adult, there are 14 I don't eat or drink by choice.

And I am definitely in the camp of hating Marmite. For someone who hates so many foodstuffs, I oddly don't mind Marmite. I rarely eat it but would if, for instance, I was visiting someone & was offered it. I find it funny that the food that is the definition of love or hate is one of the few foods that I neither love nor hate! |

As, I've had very little of it, I'm not sure I can tell the difference between it and vegemite. Yikes! Years ago when I had hair and was backpacking around Australia, I became addicted to scrolls. Which was a palmier stuffed with cheese and vegemite. Yummy. |

I’ll eat liver in the form of pate but not liver and onions style.
Otherwise 6, no to nutella, olives, aubergine, beets, shrimp and sprouts.
I wonder if it means wheat as in shredded wheat or just generally as flour?
I’ll be having loads of oysters tomorrow, can’t wait.

23, and that's counting the meat I do like even though I'm vegetarian now.

Only two for me. Snails and oysters... Blergh.
There are other things I hate that aren’t on the list but I’m actually quite surprised I’m not as picky as I thought I was.

Well, food I wouldn't eat is different from food I don't like. Taking aubergines, I am not a fan, would never cook them myself but if a bit of aubergine is in a dish I am being served, I'll eat it. Oysters however, nope, go away, not ever. So am I supposed to go literally, i.e. wouldn't eat, or more like stuff I don't like a lot? The former would be 4, the latter would be 13.

Sprouts, Cauliflower and Snails. Never had tofu but would give it a try.
Definitely wouldn't eat a Manc though. Obviously.

Nothing I absolutely won't eat (unless the beans listed are baked beans - they're my only red line!), around half a dozen I wouldn't necessarily choose but would eat if someone served them to me.
