Many kids are picky eaters sticking to kid favorites like mac and cheese, chicken strips and french fries. That’s why you see those items on many, many kids menus. However, when kids grow up and become adults, many have certain foods they still refuse to eat. For some, it may be exotic foods that sound too weird to try. For others, simply the smell or the way it looks is a turn off.

Recipes From Heaven turned to Facebook to ask “Can you name a food that you absolutely refuse to ever eat?” The answer for many people was yes. Scroll down to discover the answers from 15 different people. Spoiler: they’re not all the same, and some of them have very specific reasons for their answer.

1. Oysters

   Oysters on the half shell. I can’t stand to look at them

2. Anything from the Ocean

   Eryn Rae Palermo explained:

   Food from the water of ANY kind! Ocean or fresh. I never have besides once when I was tricked that breaded fish was breaded chicken. I was actually thinking about trying it because my only reason before was I didn’t like the smell and thought it was a silly reason to exclude an entire food category but after seeing seaspiracy I know now that it’s actually been a good thing for myself and our planet!
