Commonly Disliked Foods?

[amyhtak]

What are the (safe-to-feed) foods that your hounds don't like/won't eat? We have yet to find anything that Zula won't take like a treat, so I'm curious how far that will go!

So far we've tried things like citrus (including lemon!), tofu, pickles, lettuce/cabbage, celery, and so much more. What else we should test out to see if our piggie of a hound will turn her nose up at it?

Wiki ate a raw carrot for the first time tonight. Sliced thin on the bias made it more palatable. 

Try a raw cranberry. My last greyhound would eat them, but I found that very odd.

Conner would eat absolutely anything, except raw carrots. Someone on GT, I forget who, called him a food whore, and that described him perfectly   Raw carrots were the only thing he spit out.

Aiden, Connor’s brother from another mother, labeled both of them food whores. Raw carrots were blech but everything else made a perfect buffet.

Radicchio.  One time Nutmeg rushed to pick up a piece I dropped, and she did eat it, but the expression on her face!     "Must. eat. this.  But it is disgusting!"  She never touched it again, even when coated with ranch dressing.

Sweep is staunchly anti-banana. We make our homemade Frosty Paws with applesauce instead.

Adding the weirdest thing I've ever known a hound to eat.  Yesterday I spilled a glass of mixed diet cranberry-pomegranate juice/diet lemonade.  Before I could  clean it up, Gelsey did.  The whole thing.

In the 5 years that we lived in the Midwest, I never had a banana to myself.  Rocket always showed up to take part of it.  As soon as we moved to Arizona, apparently the bananas here are different. He turned up his nose and would never touch one again.  Come to think of it, I don't buy many bananas now that there's no one to share them with.

Anything pickled or sour is usually a no from most hounds, along with things with hot peppers like salsa.  Though our Angel Toni would eat all of those, and just about anything else we ever handed her!!  She never turned down anything that could even vaguely be labeled "food."  I miss that girl!!!

Maybe Mark or Diva will pick up the slack.
