A new national survey has revealed the UK\u2019s biggest flavour turn-offs – and it’s bad news for offal fans.
\nLiver (33%) has officially been crowned the nation\u2019s most disliked food, closely followed by smelly cheese (26%), olives (22%), and even chilli (15%), proving that not all Brits can handle the heat.<\/p>\n

The findings come from a survey of 2,000 UK adults conducted by Jelly Belly Candy Company to mark the launch of its new BeanBoozled 7th Edition \u2013 a game that challenges players to sample jellybeans that look identical but taste either delicious or absolutely dreadful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As well as the nation\u2019s least favourites, the survey also found that over half (52%) secretly adore some downright quirky smells and flavours! Who would have thought that 17% of Brits enjoy the peculiar
\naroma of farms, while 30% find comfort in the unmistakable scent of petrol.<\/p>\n

According to the survey:<\/strong><\/p>\n

*
\nBad breath (59%) and rotten food (58%) are the nation\u2019s least favourite smells
\n*
\n33% say that liver is their least favourite flavour with smelly cheese (26%) not lagging far behind
\n*
\n22% don\u2019t like the taste of olives
\n*
\n15% are not spice fans and dislike the taste of chilli
\n*
\n30% secretly enjoy the stench of petrol
\n*
\n17% like the smell of farms
\n*
\n6% secretly enjoy the smell of Wet Dog and 6% enjoy the smell of Burnt Rubber<\/p>\n

With the admission of these quirky preferences comes some doubts around how well the nation knows their loved ones. While 36% of Brits believe they know their closest folks “very well,” these statistics might just have them second-guessing.<\/p>\n
