I'm kind of the opposite tbh. Blackcurrant in particular is one that springs to mind. I like Ribena but dislike blackcurrants in basically anything. I also quite like raspberry flavoured stuff but I'm not fussed on raspberries.

Apple is one I prefer the real thing in though. Apple flavour anything never tastes right and it always has a weird metallic quality. Chocolate flavour stuff is always gross too - chocolate milkshake powders always taste weird compared to proper chocolate (We're brits so our chocolate doesn't have the vomit compound butyric acid in it, so proper chocolate always tastes better than chocolate flavoured anything).

As a child I needed nose drops. They were awful. I was probably around five years old.

I was visiting an auntie's house and it was time for the drops. I remember becoming very upset about it.

The auntie was not someone I knew (dad's side after divorce). She said she had a lovely treat for me if I had my drops.

I was still crying but had the drops.

I awaited my treat. Auntie went into kitchen and brought up big bowl of strawberry Angel Delight.

I was inconsolable and had to be taken home.

This was 50 years ago. I still hate strawberry flavoured slop.

Americans - its based on the concord grape i think not a European green grape - they commercialised grapes because commercial blackcurrents are/were banned !

The commercial cultivation of blackcurrants was banned federally in the United States in 1911 to protect the domestic timber industry. The plants were found to act as a host for white pine blister rust, a destructive fungus that threatened valuable white pine forests.

My partner is giving up tobacco and he’s bought this dried herb mix called Dutch Mix to smoke as the theory behind it is to condition your brain into realising it’s not getting nicotine when you smoke it, so it helps with not wanting tobacco.

benoirdo@reddit

Banana flavouring is what bananas used to taste like. The Gros Michel was the dominant commercial variety until it was virtually wiped out by disease. The dominant commercial bananas nowadays are less tasty but immune to the fungus that kills the old bananas. Banana flavouring was derived from the old-school bananas.

[-]

Fancy_Toe1451@reddit

Also many of us eat bananas when they are not ripe enough. To be ripe enough to be flavourful, the banana skin should be blemished and the banana starting to go squishy. Yellow, or yellow-green, overly firm bananas haven't hat the starches start to breakdown into sugar yet.

[-]

DrMoneybeard@reddit

I like them much better when they’re still starchy, with a bit of bite too the. Too sweet and mushy for me when they’re actually ripe. But then they go in the freezer for banana bread. Love that bananas are useful in every state!

Tomatoes. Tomato paste, puree and sauce are excellent and I love sun-dried tomatoes, but unprocessed tomatoes are disgusting. They have the worst texture. The skin is like plastic and the inside is thin and watery with a few seeds mixed in. It's like munching on a water balloon.

I also hate it when there's slices of tomato in a sandwich or on a pizza. I can't bite all the way through the plasticy skin so I end up pulling the tomato out of the sandwich along with half the other fillings and ruining the whole thing, or pulling the slice of tomato off the pizza and making a mess.

Most cherry flavoured stuff tastes of almonds !

Banana flavouring is based on what bananas used to taste like before the strain we mainly ate in the uk was wiped out - In the 1950s, a devastating outbreak of Panama Disease (Fusarium wilt) decimated the global commercial banana industry. Caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum, this epidemic wiped out massive plantations of the dominant Gros Michel banana! The ones we mainly eat now are generally Cavendish!

[-]

MasticatedBrain@reddit

All cherry flavouring is actually almond that's why it tastes like it!

Sort of its because the original flavouring used the stones not just the pulp!

It's an acetate that's found in high quantities in all bananas, including in Cavendish bananas. It also occurs in other foods and in fermentation, hence wheat beers sometimes having a banana-y smell. Commercial banana flavouring comes from the processed byproducts of the brewing or fermentation industries.

[-]

bondinchas@reddit

That's because many artificial food flavourings only use a few different chemicals to provide the taste, whereas fresh food can have dozens or hundreds of different chemicals in different proportions that stimulate both your senses of taste and smell.

So the artificial ones taste bland, less complex, less varied, or too strongly of just one single flavour, and so yes, artificial.

Colour plays an important part in taste too, too uniform a colour also subconciously indicates a simple, artificial composition.

Most fake flavours - berries, banana, fake rum in ice cream. And flower scents - had a visitor recently with some strong jasmine-scented body lotion and I had to leave the room so I didn't puke. It was revolting!

Fake coffee is bearable.

I’ll eat prawn cocktail crisps and prawn crackers, but not prawns.

Banana flavoured things carry a high risk of making me throw up, so I just don't have them anymore. Used to have them all the time as a kid until the dots were finally connected. Had them once or twice as an adult thinking "I'll have grown out of that or something" and same thing happens.

Bananas and things actually made with banana, though, like homemade milkshakes or banoffe pie? Absolutely fine with.

The flavouring in "banana flavoured" stuff likely still comes from actual bananas and banana is probably still in there, but any processed supermarket banana crap will either have me feeling sick or outright expelling it violently. There must be an extra thing they put in banana flavoured products as this just doesn't happen with anything else.

Chocolate for me. I could chow down on a Galaxy like it’s going out of fashion (maybe not in this heat, it’ll be a puddle before I unwrap it). But with chocolate ice cream, chocolate milkshake, anything like that, I’d rather castrate myself with blunt rocks.

Chocolate. Could eat Chocolate until I die but Chocolate flavored stuff (milk, ice cream) is rank!!

I’ve said the same on a similar thread before; while I’m fine with eating various types of meat I do not like the taste of any meat flavoured crisps

Only 2 companies do grape flavorong correctly.

Hi-Chew

And Jolly Rancher

Everything else grape flavored is an abomination.

Cranberries. I like dried cranberries, cranberry juice and cranberries generally but can't stand when it is stuffed into everything at Christmas every year. Turkey is better without it, sandwiches don't need it and you can't even escape it at Gregg's.

Lemon.

Opposite with tomato.
