It's no news that the nation is recovering from the election results last week. Politics brings out the discussions of things we despise of the most. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the things I cannot stand are my least favorite foods.Everyone has those foods we cannot get enough of. We also have those foods we are completely grossed out by that even the thought of eating it makes you sick.

1. Mustard

The smell alone is enough to make me cringe. I'll never understand why there is such a large variety in the kinds of mustard you can buy in the store. It's all gross to me. I can agree that mustard is a great addition to a recipe when a tiny amount is added to other ingredients, but mustard alone is disgusting.

2. Spam

Do people actually eat this stuff?

3. Fish

Fish of any kind is the last thing I will eat. I just don't like the smell or the taste or really anything about it. Foods of any variety that comes out of the ocean it not for me. If I have to break the shell off of the meat I'm trying to eat, I am not eating it. If the food was previously covered in a slimy coating, I am definitely not eating it.

4. Orange or grape artificial flavor

There is a valid reason for this. When I had mono in high school, the cough syrups I had to take were orange and grape flavored. They were the consistency of corn syrup and the taste made me cringe. To this day, I still cannot eat or drink anything that is purely orange or grape flavored. Of course, real grapes and oranges are some of my favorite fruits, but once it's artificially flavored, I am out.

5. Mushrooms

This one is all based on texture. I am okay with the taste, but the texture can make the whole meal unappetizing. Hold all the mushrooms, please.

6. Apricots

The wanna be oranges of the food world. Do you have any other fruit flavors? Because I will take that.

7. Cheesecake

I've tried it and hated the taste. I've tried so many different kinds of cheesecake. Trust me, I have wanted to love cheesecake because it looks so good. I guess this cake variety is not for me.

8. Green Olives

This one is again based purely on taste. Is it just me, or are they really sour? Almost like a rotten old kind of sour. If given the choice, I'll take black olives over green.

9. Cream Cheese Wantons

I just not a huge fan of plain cream cheese. Something needs to be added to the cream cheese in order for me to enjoy the taste.

10. Chives

My distaste for chives is on the texture. I will spend a majority of my meal time picking out the chives. The taste the add to a dish is great, but these tiny little onion things are an unwanted texture to my palette.
