Am I Really The Only One????

[Sherri]

Am I the only one that hates strawberries???? The Mrs. just told me that I am the only person she knows of that doesn't like strawberries, and I've had others tell me that too. Is there anyone else out there that thinks they are hairy and gross? I cannot stand the smell of them or the feel either. I get heebie-jeebies just thinking of them. Anyone else????

[Scott Hutchinson]

I don't like strawaberries either.

[Sherri]

I don't like strawaberries either.
Woo hoo!! A comrade in the war against strawberries!:thumbsup

[Scott Hutchinson]

I like blueberries better ,but I love Pecan pie.

[The Mrs]

Lol...Poor Sis. Sherri...did I give you a complex??? :ursofunny

I have heard of people not liking tomatoes. Does that help? :laffatu

[Sherri]

I don't like those either, unless they're cooked and blended up into puree or tomato sauce. Maybe it's an aversion to red foods; has to be something psychological!:nod

If it makes you feel any better... my sister in law hates them. Probably because they make her break out in hives.... :D


I Love Strawberries!!

Can't wait till I can find some reasonably priced this year to put in the freezer.

I think Darryl Strawberry was a terrible pitcher.....

I find it amazing our fruit in California is grown in Central America. Our best oranges- Australia.....

Funny, My oldest daughter hates them. I made her eat one once and repented later realizing she really did hate them.

Despise them ... but love them in those frozen fruit bars .... cant explain it.

When we were in Costa Rica last year, we found out that they are the largest exporter of West African Palm Oil!!! Isn't that crazy?

[Sherri]

Despise them ... but love them in those frozen fruit bars .... cant explain it.You must just hate the texture, which I think is just awful too. Strawberries have zits!!!

[Scott Hutchinson]

Pickles that is something I dearly love to eat , dill pickles .

[SDG]

You must just hate the texture, which I think is just awful too. Strawberries have zits!!!

You are right ... have you ever tried them in a frozen fruit bar ??? Dole has some good ones ....

[Margies3]

I can't imagine a better fruit than strawberries!!!!!

I think we need a thread to find out what other foods people can't stomach. I HATE peas. And potatoes. And beans. I like green beans. But those things that are mushy - ewwww yuck!! Not eating those. No way. No how!

[Hoovie]

Sherri "HATES" strawberries. Scott "dislikes" them. Can we analyze personalities with these morsels?

[Sherri]

You are right ... have you ever tried them in frozen fruit bar ??? Dole has some good ones ....NOOOOOO.....I can't stand the smell of anything strawberry! I don't like strawberry jello or anything. For me, it's not just the texture, although that's gross enough. It's the whole idea. I feel hive-ish just sitting here typing about them.:heeheehee

[Scott Hutchinson]

In fruit oranges are great.

It's a highly spiritual thing. Strawberries are evil; some just don't have proper discernment.:lol :lol :lol

[Scott Hutchinson]

Hate is too strong of a word ,for me dislike is more politcally correct.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Grits are evil ,yuck .

I love any kind of peas and beans; I think I could live on beans and rice. I love any kind of potatoes too. I can't imagine life without potatoes!!! Do you not even like potato chips or french fries??

[Sherri]

Hate is too strong of a word ,for me dislike is more politcally correct.Compromiser!:lol

[Hoovie]

Scott you are a kind man.... even when considering the lowly strawberry.

I'm liberal on this one.:ursofunny

I love them.

It might be that your parents gave them to you a too young of an age.

[Scott Hutchinson]

PRUNES I hate those.That is a runney food.

I like potato chips (unfortunately!!!!), but I'm not especially fond of french fries. I will eat fried potatoes if they are very, very brown. But I only eat the brown part. I hate anything that goes mush in my mouth.

PRUNES I hate those.That is a runney food.

Bro Scott, they're not runny going in........ :killinme

I don't like eating raspberries. I love the flavour so I like raspberry sauces and jelly but I hate all the little seeds, can't stand biting down on them. :)

I love strawberries!

[Sherri]

I love strawberries!Don't you hate those strawberry seeds, or whatever those black thingies are???? I love raspberries and blackberries, but I do hate the seeds.

[rgcraig]

I LOVE strawberries!!!!!

Always have and use to laugh at Sherri saying strawberries are hairy!

[Felicity]

Don't you hate those strawberry seeds, or whatever those black thingies are???? I love raspberries and blackberries, but I do hate the seeds.Strawberry seeds are so tiny you don't even know they're there. Raspberries are different though. The seeds are larger and hard - crunchy. Can't stand them at all.

I don't mind blackberries though. The texture of blackberries is a little different.

[Hoovie]

OK the strawberry thread is officially airborne.

[Sherri]

They ARE hairy!!!! I don't eat things with stubble.

My son has an abundance of allergies. His allergist told us a long time ago that if he (or anyone) doesn't like a certain food, we should not force it on him. It is very likely that his body is telling him that he is allergic to it.

He hates peanut butter and/or peanuts. He's only tasted it twice in his life. Both times he spit it out without swallowing. Still he ended up with a severe allergic reaction both times. In fact, the second time, we had to have the Squad take him to the hospital. On the way they had to give him 3 shots of Epi. At the hospital they gave him Benedryl via IV, Ventolin in a nebulizer, oxygen, and MORE Epi.

Now he hates peas. When I talked to the allergist about it, it turns out that peas are in the same family as peanuts and if you are allergic to peanuts, it is highly likely that you will also be allergic to peas.

So, Sherri, who knows? Maybe you have some sort of allergy to strawberries and you don't even know about it because you hate them and so refuse to eat them.

Oh Gross!!! Now I am going to think of zits next time I eat one.

I HATE strawberries. And if you think hard enough, you will remember someone who used to (and may still) bake everyone heart shaped strawberry cakes for valentines day. I would take mine, smile, say thank you, (I was the good daughter-n-law, she just doesn't want to admit it), and take it to the girls at work. It was a big joke at the office that she probably knew I didn't like it and enjoyed giving it to me anyway!!

As picky of an eater as your hubby is, does he like the nasty things???

I never got a strawberry cake from her, by the way. She knew I hated them and loved chocolate, so I always got chocolate of some sort!

Looks like eggs in a coconut shell kind of. ;) :) I'll have to try one since I never have and since you recommend it.

Well, aren't you the special one?? She should have known that I didn't like them either being as I never ate them. But then again, I am so picky that she probably just really didn't care......:icecream

I love mangos. And I also love fresh ripe pineapple! It's like ambrosia -- food for the gods!

Oh yeah, pineapple rocks! I've never tasted mango, but I love pineapple. And what's weird, I didn't really care for them until my daughter got pregnant and craved pineapple and I got to eating them with her. I really developed a taste for them. I don't care if they're canned, as in Dole or Delmonte, etc -- or fresh fruit. I like them both.

Love pineapples; hate mangos. I'm just a mixed up person, I guess!

Margie, that is exactly what I thought too...looks like an eggplant--can you eat that white stuff in the middle?

Perhaps they are Mandrakes.

The purple outside layer is there to protect the fruit (white) inside. It has a slightly hard outter shell, and then the red pulpy outter pod. The fruit is similar in size and appearance to a tangerine, except it's white. It is much smoother in texture than a citrus fruit though. I can't really explain what one tastes like, but it's like a bunch of tropical fruits all rolled into one. I LOVE mangos and thought a mango was the most delicious thing in the world...until I tasted a mangosteen. Definitely THE most delicious thing I've ever eaten.

The mangosteen is known as the 'Queen of Fruits'. I had these while in Singapore, so I don't know if they are even available over here in the US.

Hairy strawberries? Ours aren't hairy...what country are you in?

I love them! One of my favorite fruits. I love them chilled and just eating them like you might eat a grape

Is that what you get when you cross a preacher that tells you to Smile all the time and a mango?
