Re: Foods you can't eatEgg as well. I thought I was the only one!
Also, mayonnaise and salad cream. The thought of them makes me feel ill.
Finally, cottage cheese. My Dad likes it in his sandwiches (I make them for him!) and I struggle to spread it without feeling ill. -

Re: Foods you can't eatCooked tomatoes - this is really weird because I have no problem with raw tomatoes, especially cherry tomatoes but if they're cooked, I won't eat them.
Seafood - I think I have a phobia of it. Just can't stand it but I love pollock, haddock, cod etc. Strange.
Most meat I don't like - I don't like pork, beef and I can't eat chicken but I do like guinea fowl, duck etc.
Oh and stuff like liver, tripe etc - hate it.
Haha, I sound quite fussy

Re: Foods you can't eatOK, I understand people not liking meat for ethical reasons, and maybe eggs (particularly from battery hens). And as much as my dairy farming family would hate me for saying this, I can sort of see milk products (but only just!).(Original post by ArtGoblin)
I don't eat meat, dairy, eggs or honey for ethical reasons.
But honey?!
Out of interest, and because I've never come across anyone who objects to it before, what do you find wrong with honey?
I couldn't live without it
Guineafowl and duck? That's not fussy, that's classy(Original post by Senassa)

Great username, by the way!
Oh, and in answer to the original question, all dried fruits. Nothing annoys me more than when people add raisins to curry

Re: Foods you can't eatTomato, pomegranate, cucumber (I used to love these, but they now make me feel nauseous...
), pork, salad cream (unless in a tuna sandwich), mayonnaise, liquorice, tartar sauce, Marmite (
) and lamb. I'm also not really fond of dark chocolate but it's growing on me. I'll probably remember some more later.

Re: Foods you can't eatThere's plenty of people who have don't eat honey for ethical reasons - it's not vegan. Veganism isn't just about harm caused to animals, but about commodifying their existence. Bees don't make honey for us - they make it for themselves and so I think it is wrong for us to take it off them.(Original post by FrogInABog)

Re: Foods you can't eatRight, I see where you're coming from. I didn't want to start a debate about it, to be honest, I just wanted to know what it was about honey that was the problem...(Original post by ArtGoblin)

I guess I was just unaware that vegans had a problem with use of animals in general (as opposed to cases where suffering might be involved).
