Onions.
I LOVE the taste of them, but I can't stand eating them due to their texture and crunch. Anytime I cook anything that uses onions, I will use onion powder instead.

I also have trouble swallowing orange slices, I love the taste, but I have to cut the slices in half just to swollow them.

Ummmm..... Ima go hide in ma box now. I hate acidic things, and that is not an AS thing, that is they give me heartburn if I have too much.

I can't swallow strawbeeries and different sorts of fruit, except apples, bananas and water melons. These fruits have some texture I disgust. I avoid desserts with pieces of fruit in it. When I was 4, the problem was much worse and the textures of many sorts of food disgusted me, and made it impossible to swallow, so I spit them out. I hate the feeling of the texture of strawberries give in my mouth. I have hard times swallowing than.

Yeah... most people find it very disturbing... I really don't know what my problem is. Lol!

Yes!!

I absolutely cannot bear the texture of onion in my mouth. I can't stand the way that it's at once crunchy and slimy. Even imagining the feel of one right now is making me feel queasy. But I can eat onion flavoured crisps just fine. Nobody ever gets this when I try to explain it to them - now I know I'm not the only one!

Chibi_Neko - my point exactly!! I can't wait to tell my bf that I'm not the only one who's "freakish" about onions

I also find onions really slimy, but love the taste.

What I do is chop them very finely into an omlette or what ever I'm eating so I don't feel them I just taste them, and more likely swallow them whole.

Yes. This exact one.

My favourite dip is an asiago cheese and artichoke dip, the taste and texture are just disturbing enough to make it interesting to eat, and I both hate it and love it all at the same time. It is such a weird awfull feeling that I just love it.

I like onion rings or crisps. I'm the same way with the texture of onions. I pull them off pizzas, sandwiches, you name it.
I also hate plums, so cannot understand why I have eaten a plum a day this week. It's the skin that leaves a horrible taste in my mouth.

I agree about the plum, I love the inside though, and here is how I worked around that: When I eat a plum, I not let my teeth peirce the skin while its in my mouth in any way, and that pretty much made plums bareable for me.

For a while I didnt eat pears cuz I bit into one and a whole bunch of bugs fell out. This happened when I was 8, and was only 2 years ago that I really started to eat them again. The bug thing horrified me, and the worst part is my parents don't believe me that it ever really happened.

i think i could invite you to a virtual dinner party mitharatowen! that is the type of stuff eat. i end up with psoriasis occasionally because of the acid imbalance. but i just crave salt and hot all the time. For lunch today i had an avocado with masses of salt and chilli tomato sauce all over it.
