I HATE all varieties of mint flavour and bought Euthymol toothpaste for years, which the kids whinged about.
I think Escargot and I must be related. I hate mint as well and used Euthymol throughout my teens, which resulted in a number of cavities since Euthymol contains no fluoride. Since switched to regular toothpaste -- mint is a lot easier to take since I gave up smoking, but I'm still not a fan...
I dislike porridge (blech) and most cereals, endives, chicory, beetroot, and dark chocolate as well. I also hate offal, "dark" meat in poultry and most fish but as I'm a vegetarian now I don't have to worry about that so much.
I'm pretty indifferent to peanut butter and sprouts but I really miss the abundance of cinammon-flavoured convenience foods you get in the US but not over here (...at least I did until I read Douglas Coupland's
Girlfriend in a Coma in which one character tells another that anytime you smell cinammon in a residential area, it means a decomposing body has been found and they're fumigating....) but I
love Ranch Dressing and can eat it with anything.
Incidentally, I do miss meat. Thinking about medium-rare steak, pan-fried king prawns, McDonald's 1/4 pouders with cheese or a good roast beef dinner can have me slavering within seconds, but...
.... my very favourite food is ...
A lightly toasted thick hunk of fresh wholemeal bread scraped with melting unsalted butter and a thin layer of Marmite.
Yum.
