    PB&J sandwiches. I hate them. They literally make me gag. Can’t stand the taste, the texture, the smell… even the sight of them or hearing them being made bugs me. An assault on all five of my senses.

      I know objectively that it doesn’t matter, but I’m finding it really hard not to judge you as a person.

        But if I don’t like it, that it means more for everyone else.

        I’m pretty open-minded about trying new foods, and there’s not a lot of foods I really hate - honestly, besides pb&j, I can’t think of a food I’d turn down.

        It is weird to me that my dislike of it bothers people. I think everyone has one commonly beloved food that they don’t like. Hell, my wife hates bacon. BACON! I still love her tho. She keeps the pb&j away from me, I keep the bacon away from her.

          It’s funny because peanut butter, jelly, and bacon go so well together. Throw a little banana in there and fry it up, and you’ve got a Fat Elvis.

          I think PB&J is just in a different category. I could eat them literally every day and never get tired of them, and I’ve heard the same from most other adults and children I’ve talked to about it.

          My brother never liked peanut butter growing up, so he’d eat cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. I don’t feel the need to say that in a way that expresses disdain, because I imagine it’s impossible to read that sentence without the disdain being implied.

          Anyway, doesn’t really matter. You do you.

        I’m not a big fan of plain peanuts either (again- the smell), and I don’t mind Nutella. Also I love tofu, and other soy-based foods.
