What is the opposite of an ode? Whatever it is, I’ve written one about my least favorite food:

I detest you.
You’re slimy
and you feel like a gritty booger in my mouth.
I despise you.
You’re gross
and you taste like wet dirt.
I abhor you.
You touch my other food
and taint it with your awfulness.
I hate you.
You’re pretentious
with your nature-loving, healthy-eating lifestyle crap.
Leave my pasta alone and set my pizza free.
Liberate my soups from your vile putridness.
Keep your fungal repugnance far away from my stir fry.
Get off my plate and out of my bowl.
Bleh.
Written for this weeks writing prompt: Describe a food you abhor.
Love this! (Even though I’m a mushroom fan.)

Haha! That’s funny. I like mushrooms, I just try not to think about them being a fungus…gross.

I love this! <3 I hate mushrooms too. I hate the smell, taste, texture.. uhg. They're slimy and rubbery and gross. But you should at least try fried morel mushrooms. Morel mushrooms are awesome (when fried). They are crisp, and don't have that dirt smell or taste. Unfortunately, they only grow in certain parts of the country in early spring.
Quite honestly, I can’t stand some kinds of mushrooms either and yes, that’s how it feels.
Well written.

He is such a fun guy (fungi)!
Sorry.
Couldn’t resist.:)

Visiting from Mama Kats. I also hate mushrooms. They feel bouncy and icky in my mouth.

I must admit, I’m surprised by how many of you actually LIKE mushrooms. gag. But, thanks for reading and for commenting! This was my first week trying one of the writer’s prompts and as soon as I saw “Describe a food you abhor”, I felt inspired! At least something good came from mushrooms…
Love it! I’m stopping by from Mama Kat’s to see all the stuff people don’t like that I do (my hate food is peppers). I do like mushrooms but only in certain formats. Your line and you feel like a gritty booger in my mouth is fantastic.
I didn’t mind mushrooms, until I read this. Now I think I might hate them too just from how you described them. They are kind of a useless food anyway right?

One question…how do you know what a gritty booger feels like?

Dang. I was worried someone might ask me that… no comment.
LOL. I happen to like mushrooms, but I DESPISE peas. Maybe I’ll write a sonnet for them.

I wasn’t sure if I understood the def of abhor. After reading your post I get it, I get it .)
I love mushrooms but there aren’t many foods I don’t like anymore.
Stopping in from MamaKat’s and loved your post.

I hate mushrooms too, I can’t find myself eating this kind of food. What’s in that mushroom actually, I hate it!
