17 Divisive Foods People Absolutely Hate And Refuse To Eat — And Honestly, It's Sooo Controversial
Even if a food tastes good, sometimes the texture is just an obstacle one cannot overcome — and that's okay. Recently, Redditor u/applefrickinsauce asked those in the Reddit community to share the foods they refuse to eat because of the texture, and, you know what? Fair. Here are the foods people 100% won't eat: 1."Cottage cheese. The curds are gross." —myweedylawnsucks "Something about it being lumpy really sets my brain off. Like, 'Milk stuff isn't supposed to be lumpy! Don't eat it!'" —Hailstorm303 2."Mushy peas. I was forced to eat them at my primary school. Even now, the smell of them makes me gag." —Top-View7248 3."Snails. Slimy bastards, they are." —Jazzlike-Basil1355 4."Fatty meat and cartilage. The texture makes me gag big time." —ShinyVanillite 5."Ketchup. I hate the way it smells and the way it separates when you wash it off of plates." —Ok_Wallaby_8001 6."Raw tomatoes! I love tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomato soup, and anything else made from tomatoes. But I won't eat raw tomatoes on my sandwiches or in salads." —GoodFriday10 7."Oysters." —Jura1575 8."Eggplant. It's so spongy and fibrous." —NoseInternational794 9."Figs. The inside is too insect-y for me." —fujoshikimchi 10."Liver and onions. Whenever my parents made it for dinner, I'd go to my friend's house." —Massive_Garage7454 11."Chicken wings and ribs. The bones and everything..." —AAEgurl26 12."I cannot stand mushrooms. They smell so awful, and the texture is just disgusting." —Financial-Job4779 13."Tripe. It's like eating bits of slimy towel." —Difficult_Carob7063 14."Lima beans have this weird, chalky, powdery texture that makes me skin crawl. Even thinking about biting into one makes me shudder. As a kid, my mom would try sneaking them into soups and casseroles, but I'd always spot them and pick them out. The texture is like eating wet sand, and I just can't deal with it." —PerfectCutie_ 15."Durian." —davidicon168 "I recently tried durian for the first time. Really couldn't get past the smell. The flavor and texture were not helpful, either. Zero stars." —12Wanderful 16."Pears. They're always gritty and sandy." —spidergirl79 "Eggs. They disgust me, and they've disgusted me since I was a kid. I'm in my 30s now, and I haven't eaten eggs for as long as I can remember. People find it weird, but eggs smell like farts, and they're slimy and gelatinous. I find them completely repulsive. I don't care about eating stuff where eggs are used as an ingredient like pasta or baked goods, but eating eggs alone is, in my mind, roughly equivalent to eating a turd. My fiancée used to love them, but she's vegan now, and our household is one of the very few that hasn't been worried about egg prices this year (which is nice, at least)." —WrestleSocietyXShill For me, the food that I can't eat due to the texture is OATMEAL! I hate how goopy and bland it is, and not even adding toppings helps. What's a food you refuse to eat because of the texture or smell?

Croutons add a coveted crunch to these ranch chicken salad wraps
The chew of an edge piece of brownie. The pop of a pomegranate seed. The creaminess of a pureed soup.

That's the thought behind the crunchy croutons tucked into these ranch chicken salad wraps.
