Anything that has peas in it. They are simply horrible.

I guess I'd have to say coffee. Second worst would be most anything that contains coffee.

The time as a kid I tried mixing prune juice and milk turned out predictably nasty, too.

(Ironically, I rather like the smell of coffee flowers; their odor is nothing at all like the flavor of the roasted coffee beans. It's a very sweet smell, a bit like vanilla or honeysuckle.)

Broccoli. No, I'm kidding, broccoli isn't that bad! Apparently I love it when I was little... :?: I intensely dislike it now! :lol: I'm not a fan of peas either, or asparagus. I can sometimes be persuaded to eat snap peas and asparagus. My favorite veggies by far are green beans and zucchini!

Coffee is the one thing (besides fake sushi rolls, but that's a whole 'nother story! :roll: ) that can make me completely nauseous. Not drinking coffee (I've never actually tried it) just the smell of it! I imagine I could probably stomach coffee ice cream, but I haven't had it in years, so I don't really know...

As for the prune juice and sour milk... :lol: When I was about 5, I was at a family reunion when my older brother and my cousin decided to mix pickle juice with milk and heat it up. Yuck. Then they went around advertising it to other family members as a cure for hiccups :lol: It is incredible how many of my aunts and uncles they got to try it before the word spread that the ingredients both came out of the trashcan! :wink:

Haha, that's great! I bet it actually would work well as a circuitous hiccup remedy because of all the water you'd have to drink afterward to get the taste out of your mouth.

Are there any Harry Potter fans on the boards here who remember when Jelly Belly made a line of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans? I took some into the Chamber of Secrets premiere and accidentally ate a vomit-flavored one. It was so horrible I wept. (You have to wonder who taste-tested these things to make sure they actually have an authentic vomit flavor.)

I'm a big Harry Potter fan, but I don't know if I ever tried any Every Flavor Beans! Have you heard about the Harry Potter theme park that is being built in Orlando? I can't wait to go there! :D They are replicating many of the shops in Harry Potter, and I am looking forward to going into Honeyduke's, the sweet shop!

OH, WOW!! Why haven't I heard of this until now?? Now I'm looking up all these articles, and the whole thing looks so fantastic--chocolate frogs! Harry Potter gift shops and Ollivander's! I agree with you, Honeyduke's would be a dream come true...I better start saving my money now. Thank you so much for the info!! I'm so excited I can't concentrate on my homework anymore!

Anytime! :lol: I get all my info from http://mugglenet.com/, and their podcast, MuggleCast! As for not being able to focus on your homework... I'm most very sorry, I really am. I'm currently on the forum so I don't have to be doing my homework. :wink:

Aah, Mugglenet! This site and I have history!! Way back in 2004, I was one of the first caption contest winners to ever merit a "discretion advised" warning for toilet humor. Shh, don't tell anyone--I like to think I've grown up a little since then. (Just a tiny bit, though.)

Haha, it's 110% okay! ♥ I can't think of a more welcome and thrilling distraction. And I shouldn't even have been checking the forums anyway, oops.

Yummy asparagus. But like all veggies they have to be drowned in Butter :D or Cheese :D
