Won't eat it
"Um.. If it's something I don't like I just I don't eat it. I will move it around or I will, like, slip it onto someone else's plate. Or, um.. You know make an excuse about an allergy, but, uh, if it's gross, it's just.. I can't do that."

Multiple hairs in food
"I once ate a dish. I don't even remember what it was, but it had multiple hairs in it at a restaurant and the reason I did it because I was out with my girlfriend and I was trying to impress her parents and the restaurant belonged to like her one of her parents, brothers or sisters or something. So I didn't want to say anything when the hair came in the food, and normally I'm like, I'm not that grossed out by that stuff. But there was multiple, like really long hairs in the food and I just had to try and hide them and choke it down. And, sadly, we broke up shortly after that, so it wasn't even worth it."

Father-In-Law's salmon
"Something terrible I ate just to be polite. My, uh, father in law cooked horrible salmon. I don't like salmon that much in general, but horrible salmon to where the fat would bubble up. And it just, uh I would, actually, honestly, some evenings, I would, uh kind of take it and put it in my hand, little pieces, and chuck it behind me if we were eating outdoors on the patio, so it kinda would land in the grass, it was so freaking bad."

Mushrooms leave a bad taste in the mouth.
"Mushrooms. Always mushrooms. Always always always always always mushrooms. I hate them. Hate mushrooms, hate mushrooms. Hate them or kombucha. I mean, you don't really eat it. But kombucha. I don't know how people drink that. I mean, it tastes so awful and you're drinking it. You're sitting there looking at them. Their, 'Oh, how does it taste?' Awful, terrible, but you eat it to be polite and you nod and you shake your head and go, "Mmm.. That's really good." But, no. No, but mushrooms."

Sometimes you eat mom's home cooking just to be polite.
"Something terrible I ate just to be polite: I think I had, um, one of my friends, their mom made one of their, um, cultural dishes and it didn't smell great. Didn't look good. And, uh, I didn't want to be rude so I just ate it. You know, I just ate it, but that was not it. That was not it."

Eating passion fruit out of politeness wasn't nice.
"So I think the thing that I've eaten the most awful thing that I've eaten was when my auntie gave me a passion fruit, and I tried it even though it looked disgusting. And I was right. It was disgusting. It was like eating tadpoles out of an egg shell. So.. not nice."

Squash: From the plate to the trash
"Something I ate terrible just to be polite was squash. Do not put squash on my plate! Because I'm gonna look at you, and I'm gonna look at the squash, and I'm just gonna look at you like you know... why you do that? Hey, I ain't gonna say nothing. But it's gonna be in the trash. So if you want to keep your squash, don't give it to me, okay? Don't."

Soups and stews are for the sick.
"Pretty much any time someone makes us soup or a stew. I'm just not a soup/stew kind of person. I associate it with being home sick. And if it's not chicken noodle the odds that it has something I don't like in are very good, like beans. And there's nowhere to hide, like the bowl is full. You can't just shove it around the plate, so it's.. it's basically like being cornered."

Bony fish is a polite dish.
"I was invited to dinner by this man in South Korea. It was me and a friend and he took us out to get this, like, really nice fish. Um, but the fish was brought out to us raw. And then there were like these, and I don't mind raw fish; I eat Nigiri all the time, but this fish had tiny little bones in it. So every time you ate it, you had to pull the bones out and it, it took everything in me to eat that meal."

Artichokes are... gruesome?

Dad's mac and cheese is the worst.
"I remember one year my dad, who's an awful, awful cook, like literally so bad. I remember one year he made this Mac and cheese that he like inexplicably took to our holiday. Like, why do you take old crusty, horrible mac and cheese that you don't know how to make to a family holiday where you know that there are people better. I was one of the only ones that ate it, and it was disgusting. But I would do it again."
