apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Vodka martinis. Raw tomatoes. Seafood. Swiss Chard.

Quinoa because it's a complete protein and I've recently stopped eating meat.

I wish I didn't like bread and cheese so much :(

Same for me with sweet potatoes--add winter squash to that, too. I just don't like the sweet flavor! I can eat them if they are cubed, highly spiced, and roasted.

Seafood is another I wish I liked. I cannot stand shellfish, unless it's straight out of the ocean--as in, I caught it ten minutes ago, and now I'm going to eat it.

Cucumbers, eggplant, and arugula. I find them tolerable, but I wouldn't buy them unless I was really excited about a recipe that called for them.

Raw tomatoes usually (it's a texture thing), green peppers because they're everywhere, fennel (I'm trying, I really am), oranges (again, texture). I also wish I had a higher tolerance for spicy foods, but I'm not sure there's a real way around that one.

@Madame Is - first, make sure your quinoa has been rinsed; but have you tried toasting it before cooking?

Beans in all forms except for green. (I can eat green beans. They're not really the same.)

They're so healthy, yet so inedible.

It's not that I don't like certain foods,it's that they don't like me. I love the flavor of some things but they make stomach ache or cause nasty headaches so i can't eat them. Asparagus is a good example. I can't see forcing myself to eat something just because of societal pressures. It's an unhealthy idea.

Fish! I'm getting better about it, but it's still never my first choice.

I was a notoriously picky eater as a child... I didn't like onions, tomatoes, celery, olives, or sweet potatoes, and I've since successfully taught myself to like all of them.

I still loath mushrooms, but I'm perfectly comfortable with my prejudice against them ;-)

Tomatoes, fennel

Raw tomatoes. They're in everything!

I really wish I liked beer. Part because it's a cultural thing like coffee, and part because I love to drink and beer is the one type of alcohol that's available everywhere.

i wish i liked everything really. i don't think of myself as a picky eater, but there are some key ingredients that i really don't like (cilantro, ginger, fennel) that seem to be in lots of food. as a result there are whole cuisines that i tend to avoid because of those prominent flavors. vietnamese anyone?
i also don't like coffee, can't even stand the smell, and i wish i at least sort of liked it. it would be nice to understand what everyone else loves so much!

I wish I liked alcohol better, especially beer. I could enjoy something my boyfriend loves with him. I also wish I like blue cheese and goat cheese because they are in a lot of otherwise delicious dishes.

Mushrooms. I've tried and I've tried-- button, all kinds of wild, shiitake, portabellos, they all just taste like slimy dirt to me. I will continue to try. Hopefully someday I will be able to stomach them.

i hate coconut: the texture, the taste, everything. yuck.

but every few years i eat a macaroon because they are so pretty and look delicious....and then i spit it out.

i hated raw or chunky cooked tomato for years because of the texture. The last year or so that has changed, so keep trying!

Cheese. It's almost entirely a textural thing. I just can't force the waxy, (sometimes) moldy stuff between my lips.

I'm surprised by how many people dislike tomatoes, didn't realize it was that widespread. I never liked them when I was young, but once I was old enough to start fixing them myself and remove all that nasty, slimy seed filled goo, I found that I quite like the taste of the fruit itself.

These seem to be popular dislikes, even among foodies, but seafood and mushrooms. I'm trying so hard to train myself to like them :-/

What's up with that picture? Those are three of my favorite foods!

I wish I liked little sea creatures more - mussels and clams and the like are really the only things that don't do it for me.

I find it so weird when people don't like tomatoes, it's such a common dislike, yet they're in everything!

I on the other hand can't tolerate blue cheese, it just tastes like mold... gross... and i try and try but i can't get over the moldiness.

I find cilantro to be the most vile thing on the planet, but I wished I liked it because it's in so many things.

I wish I liked eggs, because not liking them really limits your choices at brunch.

[Items containing egg such as French toast, pancakes, any cake or cookie = okay. Eggs on their own (hard boiled, fried, scrambled, poached) or dominating a dish (frittata, quiche, strata) = not okay.]

I'm also in the raw tomato chorus.

I am right there with the raw tomatoes thing. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I grow the heck out of them and then either give them away (I make a wonderful neighbor) or make them into a sauce (which I then give most of it away anyways!).

I think it's a texture and an acidity thing with me.

I've worked through my dislikes. I'll always try something again, but some of them, I just don't care to anymore. Artichoke hearts, for one. I've stopped trying, and I'm comfortable with that.

Emily

Mushrooms, blue cheese, and poached, fried, or baked eggs. The egg situation is a little weird--I love scrambled eggs, omelets, quiches and stratas, but unless the egg is mixed to be uniformly yellow in color, it turns my stomach to even think about eating it. The only exceptions are cold eggs--hard-boiled preparations.

That's so funny, I never knew so many people shared my dislike of tomato. in a salad is fine,pureed is fine but no chunks of tomato in my sauce please. Also can't make myself like squash or lentils.

I really really really want to like sushi. Can you help me with that one?!?!?!? I want to like bell peppers, but thanks to my mother and her thing with stuffing them when I was a kid, I can't stand them. I really wish I didn't like cheese and wine... well, in the quantities I like them in!

I'm so relieved to see all the raw tomato posts! They really are in everything. People are always telling me that I'd like tomatoes if I had good ones--but believe me, I've tried the ones that make tomato-lovers rapturous, and they're just slimy and gross for me. I keep trying them, too, in the hope that some day, magically, I'll like them, but it has yet to happen.

I don't dig on endive. Tripe makes me shudder. Maybe I'll enjoy them eventually, since I didn't like oysters before.

In the last 5 years or so I've begun to really enjoy: raw tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, many varieties of cheese beyond cheddar/parm/mozz, beets, red meat and I'm sure there are others. Most of this was due to exposure by my boyfriend who is a great cook and I didn't want to seem like a baby when he made something that contained one of the above, or I was eating w/ his family as I got to know them. I found myself being pleasantly surprised again and again so now I'm willing to "re-try" many foods that I once disliked. However I still haven't been able to fully embrace stinky ripe cheeses, blue cheese, and lamb. But I'm not giving up hope that I'll like them some day :)

Beets for me. I enjoy them in some things and prepare them when I get them in my CSA, but if I never ate another one, I wouldn't feel like I was missing out.

Raw tomatoes for me too! They're just so beautiful and look delicious on a chunky BLT or Caprese salad. I even grow them (very successfully), thinking that maybe if I grow them myself I'll like them better...so far, it hasn't worked.

cheeses (i only eat orange cheddar, mozzarella & parmesan), especially soft and stinky ones.

mayonnaise -- just so my friends will stop making fun of me.

avocados -- so i don't have to order special rolls at sushi joints.

egg yolks -- because poached eggs look so darn delicious.

wine -- i like beer, but wine has such a harsh alcohol flavour it just puts me off.

I can't think of any foods I wish I liked more, but I yearn to enjoy vodka martinis. I just can't get through them! Even when the vodka's top shelf, it's like drinking hairspray.

There are some foods--hamburgers, foie gras, ice cream, bacon, beef, butter, cheese, bread, and many, many more-- I wish I liked LESS. :)

I honestly can't think of many foods I don't care for. A preparation method is another matter, but foods themselves-me likey. Insofar as drinks go-I dont' care for overly sweet or off-beat cocktails that "mixologists" create. Just give me an dirty vodka martini any day of the week or if it's summer, a margarita on the rocks-thank you very much.

cabbage, and all of its leafy green relatives. I can't stand it, and I'm german! I hate all dark green leafy things other than spinach and lettuces.

and squashes (other than zucchini) have a bit of an odd moist texture/sweetness for me. I eat them, but don't love them.

Also don't like the classic meat and potatoes brown gravy meals... those dark stews... too rich for my taste.

Basically, I'm miserable with winter foods!

heartmignardise, I'm with you.... endive is way too bitter for me.

Other than that, I eat pretty much everything, no matter how exotic.

(I'm very pro-tomato and pepper.... my husband and I eat about 4 lbs of peppers and 6 lbs of tomatoes every week! greek salads, fajitas, roasted tomato soup...)

I wish I liked BEER more! It seems like beer must be so fun and exciting for the people who love it, because there are so many different kinds and always something new to try. But I just can never really enjoy it.

Pate! There's lots of artisanal pates out there, lovingly spiced and assembled, but I just can't get past the liver taste/texture. Sorry Pate! I'd rather have a slice of mortadella or capicolla

i wish i liked tomato soup and juice. the mere thought makes me gag, but i feel like i've missed out on something when people harass me about it.

Pretty much I like everything. I don't like corned beef. But really, that's it.

Oh, and I wish I liked sake too because it looks so pretty, and I like how you can drink it either warm or cold.

Melon. Honeydew, cantalope, muskmelon, you name it. Other than watermelon, I just don't like them. They just taste like very watered down chunks of juice to me. But I want to like them! They're so pretty!

Also, coconut. Coconut milk is fine, but I just can't stand the crunchy sawdust texture of the meat.

http://www.abreadaday.com

Mushrooms are pretty much the only food I don't go for. I keep trying, though. I find some varieties less unnappetizing than others, but I can't say that I really like any of them.

Wine. It's not that I don't like it, but... I don't care enough about it to appreciate it. I'd rather have a beer.

Also, salads that aren't loaded down with tons of fat.

this list is making me hungry. there isn't a single food anyone has listed that I don't like! I guess I don't like brussel sprouts, but I haven't had them in a long time, so that might've changed, too.

@victorianista Try a gin martini? I dislike vodka but gin and I get along just fine.

I wish I liked fish. I know it's so good for you but I just can't eat it. I prefer to not even be at the table when it's served. I can handle shellfish but generally won't order them. I also wish I could drink beer. I like the flavor for about three mouthfuls and then can't drink any more. Same with cream sauces, although those my waistline can live without! I'd like to learn to like wine, too, since so many people around here drink it, including and especially my folks.

eggplant, sardines, fried green tomatoes, and licorice

things i find gross - cold blue cheese/gorgonzola (only tolerable if they're melty and in a sauce), a greater tolerance for spicy foods (trying to train myself so i can enjoy more types of cuisine), some preparations of eggs (i'm w/ the people above who can handle eggs that have been mixed up...but anything where the yolk and white are separate? yuck!)

things i don't like but can deal with - raw onions, raw tomatoes, oranges

Olives, because I always see something that looks good on a menu but for having olives in it. Also, brown rice; I just can't break my white rice habit.

Tomatoes, in any and every form. And eggs with runny yolks.

I try to like bourbon and whiskey, I really do. My boyfriend loves them, and I'd like to be able to enjoy a glass with him every once in a while. Alas, even the smell makes me gag.

-Coconut...I've always hated.
-Goat Cheese...takes like sour baby milk.
-Tarragon...taste like licorice which I dont care for either.
-Mussels...Ive tried several times, but I dont see the hype. These things look and tastes slimy.
-Eggplant...tastes like dirt...sorry.

I wish I liked Bloody Marys because they always look so pretty.

beets, olives, anchovies, runny eggs, vodka martinis.

My first gut reaction is to agree with eprewitt: as a former vegetarian and current (medically required) low sodium eater, I really wish I liked melons of any sort, but no matter how often I try them, they taste like styrofoam soaked in weak juice. Even watermelon, which can be big around here this time of year.

I love raw tomatoes and always have, provided the tomatoes are local and ripe. I use canned tomatoes in cooking rather than the supermarket varieties that Alton Brown once quipped are "strip-mined in Texas." When tomato season is over, I stop eating fresh tomatoes in things like caprese salad. Cherry tomatoes are often a good substitute in winter, but they're just not the same.

The food I don't like that others do that's not covered here is one I don't actually wish I liked more, but it still surprises people: pink beef. I'm not a steak eater not because I'm a vegetarian (I have no ethical qualms with being at the top of the food chain, though I believe all animals should be treated as well as possible until their days are over), but because the "juicy" steak is still pink in the middle, and I really don't like pink beef. It gives me this visceral "oooh, yuck, raw!" reaction no matter how well I know that it is, in fact, completely cooked. The juices are not appetizing to me.

I can like a medium to medium-rare hamburger with just a tiny bit of pink in it, but things like prime rib that are supposed to be largely pink? Ugh, can't stand them. Give me pot roast any day.

I don't do wine, it all tastes like battery acid to me, and that's probably what I most wish I had a taste for.

I also don't like watercress, alfalfa sprouts, kimchee and jicama. And I don't love fish nearly as much as I used to.

I wish I liked sake. It is so pretty, and I like the way you can drink it warm or cold. The little glasses it's served in are appealing too.

I like almost everything I've ever tasted, except any kind of liver. I'm ok with not liking liver. It is revolting in all forms.

However, I wish I liked alcohol more. I like the way beer tastes but I have a major aversion to wine and I cannot physically tolerate the effects of alcohol in general. Believe me, I have tried to develop a tolerance, but alcohol makes me feel terrible after a beer or two.

This makes me an oddball among my friends and family.

I have always been a lightweight, so I just don't drink.

Cooked fish. I loves me some raw fish, but as soon as it is even slightly warmed it starts to smell like...well...rotting fish. Seriously, same smell. I think there are wires crossed in my brain somewhere because try as I might, I CANNOT get over that association. Blech.

@Tiamat_the_Red: Thanks, I believe I will try one this weekend. It is possible vodka has caused me to write off the martini prematurely.

@walkneverending: Have you tried Brussels Sprouts roasted? If you toss them with a little olive oil, sea salt, and pepper and roast them in a hot oven until the outside turns brown they are SO much better. For a long time I didn't think I liked them either because my mom always boiled them when I was growing up, but I absolutely love them roasted. They are easy to kick up, too, with some good parmesan, artisanal salt, lemon juice, anything.

Cilantro - I have learned to deal with it in small doses because it is in so many dishes that appeal to me, but I really dislike it.

Tomatoes - It's not that I don't like them...I am just a little fickle about it. Raw tomatoes without a bit of salt on them are just okay. And many tomato sauces taste too tomato-pasty to me.

Gin - I can't handle the juniper berries!

Rosemary

I don't like mushrooms, but I'm totally cool with that. A lot of times I'll eat them mixed into a sauce if I don't think about it, but I don't really feel like I'm missing anything by not liking them.

Everything I used to not like (raw tomatoes, eggplant, beans), I got over a few years ago while living in Greece. I used to not eat sushi either, but tried slowly got into it a couple of years ago and I love love love it now. So I've gotten over most of my dislikes that I had for a while even as an adult. There are still a few things I don't like, but nothing I really wished I did.

I wish I could like olives! They're so hip and pretentious as they stare at me from olive bars, meze platters, and savoury cocktails but, alas, I loathe the thought of them. I like olive oil and can tolerate sliced black olives on pizza and nachos but that's about it. I thought I would grow to like them like wine and blue cheese but this is the one thing I could never develop a taste for :(

raw tomatoes and big hunks of stewed tomatoes, sweet potatoes, Peaches - ewww just the thought of the fuzz makes me gag and the worst - coffee in anything, no mocha no oh this pumpkin,cream filled, whipped top starbucks drink you can't taste the coffee - one sip - yup coffee

lettuce

Sushi.

I sometimes wish I liked olives because then everyone would STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT NOT LIKING OLIVES.

I am completely happy disliking the foods that I do. I don't feel any need or desire to like them more. (Granted, the list is pretty small. As someone else up there said, there are many foods I wish I liked less.)

Believe it or not, I don't like watermelon. I just can't taste it! At summer gatherings someone always brings a big watermelon to share and I just do without eating it since it tastes like water and a sponge to me!

Wine. I like some, but my palate is very limited/unsophisticated.

I know it's already been said, but it is SO NICE to see so many fellow foodies who don't like tomatoes. Not a fan of olives or mushrooms, either.

I wish I liked smoked cheddar. Conceptually I love it, but I can't stand the taste.

Shrimp makes me heave and I just don't care for sushi at all. With shrimp, it's everything about it. With sushi, it's more of a "meh" response and the texture of the raw fish if it is a variety which has raw fish on it. I just don't get what all of the excitement is about sushi - vinegared rice, raw fish, maybe some nori and sauce or wasabi. It isn't horrible, but I'm not having food-gasms over it. Sometimes I think the sushi brouhaha is just about the novelty and the exotic nature of it, because the flavor profile just isn't something I can get worked up about (and I live in Japan so I certainly have access to quality and variety).

I actually don't wish very hard that I liked these things though. They're expensive, but not liking them does limit my options.

I'm so glad to see so many people who don't like raw tomatoes. My whole family seems to think I'm a freak for not liking tomatoes sliced with salt on them.

I don't like wine, I don't like beer, and people make me feel like a philistine.

Also the majority of vegetables. Anything slimy, like okra or cooked spinach (raw is okay), cooked squash, eggplant... basically there are just very few veggies I like.

I like (or can bear) almost everything I'm likely to encounter in day to day eating. I can't imagine wishing to like something more given how many wonderful things there are to eat. I am not a huge fan of raw tomatoes either, but I can at least bear them in combination with other things. But I still can't imagine wanting to like them more...I like them enough...and if I didn't, I just wouldn't eat them and eat something else instead.

I wish I liked sweets less!
http://www.notyourgoddess.blogspot.com/

i wish i liked tomatoes, raw and cooked, squash, wine, salad dressing (even olive oil on salad), grapefruit, and many vegetables.

i absolutely hate ketchup and I dont want to like it, its just gross, smells gross.

i wish i liked salads, my mother actually enjoys eating them and i just odnt understand it, i can eat plain salad without dressing. I wish i liked grapefruit because it seems like such a cute little breakfast thing....put sugar on it get out your neat little utensils and eat a grape fruit half.

i also wish i liked lasagna. i reaaaaaaaally hate it, i just dont like baked noodles.

I wish I liked cooked greens (they are too slimy for me) and parsley.

Broccoli. I loathe it and it is everywhere. If the menu offers "vegetables" it is or includes broccoli.

Olives, I've tried them many times but still cannot stand them. I also can't stand alfredo sauce.

I forgot to add that I loathe iceberg lettuce. If I ate plastic, I imagine it would taste just like iceberg.

what a popular post! once i really thought about the question i had a longer list than i care to admit:
- yams, sweet potatoes, squash and any sweet starch
- melon
- eggs with runny yolks
- olives

don't depair, those of you who dislike sushi. my mother is japanese, and even i am not a huge raw fish eater. it has more to do with texture than anything - i do not like mushy things!

Mussels, clams, calamari...I just can't seem to stomach them. It's the texture. This is a really weird word to use to describe them, but that's how I do--bouncy.

This list is fascinating! I am so surprised at all the beer, wine, and tomato dislikes - so interesting (they're some of my favorites). I don't do salmon or quiche or frittata, and the only fish I'll eat is raw tuna. I also dislike cilantro but as others said, I have learned to tolerate it in small quantities if it's in something else. I really try not to be picky, but dislikes are clearly natural!

Beets and Brussel Sprouts. Can't stand either.

Eggs. I can't eat them. It's not that I kind of don't like them and could choke them down if I really wanted to... I literally can't take a bite without gagging (or worse). Even the smell of cooking eggs makes me nauseated. I really, really want to like them since they're inexpensive, easy, and can be used in so many wonderful looking recipes, but I don't see it happening any time soon. The most I've managed is some little bits of scrambled eggs in asian dishes like pad thai, and even then I try to pretend they're not there and pick out the larger bits.

tarragon.

Mushrooms, olives, seafood of any kind. I try and try to like seafood but no. Eggs - especially if they are runny.

Plantains. They're just too sweet for a savory meal. And on top of that they're kind of bland.

Olives. I love pickles and pickle juice but just can't get into the brine of olives.

Bitter greens. Bitter. Greens. 'nuff said.

Cocktails. Like the gin martini, stiff drink kind. And scotch. My partner loves it but when he drinks the peaty stuff I don't even want to kiss him.

I hate mushrooms (like a lot of people here it seems). I wouldn't really care except that so often they are the go-to vegetarian staple at restaurants. The mushroom ravioli or risotto veg option needs to come to an end.

Wow, I always thought I was one of the only people who disliked raw tomato! I feel better now.
I also don't care for most squash, tarragon (or any licorice-esqe food) or Campari. Really wished I could like Campari b/c I'm stuck with this huge bottle of the stuff...

I have always wished I liked eating Bananas, Love the flavor, I hate, I mean hate did I mention hate chewing on one...
Oh yeah I wished I liked Wine..I have tasted all styles and price ranges and my palate just dont get what is so great about it.... Now give me a mixed drink or any thing with alcohol and I am happy...

anchovies and sardines

Raw tomatoes, eggs, sushi, wine. Raw tomatoes smell/taste like raw pumpkin to me, eggs are just a disgusting concept, sushi has awful texture and horrible flavor, and wine is so SOUR. And yet they are all so popular!

Actually, I can't do bitter things. I don't like overly sweet either, but bitter bugs me, so the fancy olives are out (though I did try, again, the green with the red center? and no. Black olives are lovely). Cilantro is aggravating, especially since I do like jarred salsa (but not fresh).

Also, I will second the allegedly "cooked" beef. I can't even look at someone while they eat meat that still has blood dripping from it. WTF is wrong with these people!? IT TASTES LIKE BLOOD. What is appealing about that? But if I liked it, I would be picked on far less.

I will say that I am trying more foods now, for some reason. I recently developed a lust for garlic, and mildly spicy things like pepper cheese. We're planning to try a Pakistani restaurant some day for lunch, and I'm actually looking forward to it. You never know where your next favorite food will come from!

Coriander and chilli.

Scotch! I wish I liked scotch cause who doesn't look cool with a glass of it?

Food, I wish I liked uncooked tomatoes and onion (on a burger or a salad) instead of picking them off still. I'm one of the 50ish% of people that cilantro tastes horrid, so I wish it tasted good to me. Oh, sushi too. Rolls I can do but regular raw fish sushi, I hate the taste.

I can't stand zucchini and yellow squash but I don't wish I liked them more.

I do wish I liked peaches more. I just don't like the musky smell/taste. Makes summers in Texas tough.

i absolutely cannot eat peanut butter. peanuts, yes. peanut butter makes me yak. i think it's a textural thing. i wish i liked it because there seem to be so many delicious looking desserts out there.

i'm also not a huge fan of chocolate (mostly cake, ice cream, and other desserts). i want to love it. i really do. then people would stop saying i'm such an odd female to not like chocolate.

I positively cannot stand anchovies, sardines, and licorice (including heavily anise flavored things). Also eel, especially in sushi.

I've tried, but can't even stand anchovies and sardines in pasta sauces. Just ew. I wish I did, because there are some amazing sounding dishes...but they have anchovies or sardines and that's a deal breaker for me.

I'm not a fan of shrimp, but it's not inedible for me.

Vegetables. I wish I liked them enough to want seconds of veggies instead of meats.

I am surprised by the tomato-phobes.

I hated raw tomatoes forever. I'd eat pasta sauce, ketchup, salsa, etc. but not big chunks in salads or anything. Thought I was alone.

Then, one day (about three or four years ago), I saw an ensalada caprese and I thought "S**t, that looks DANK!" (a.k.a: that looks delicious). So I dug in and I was hooked. I believe I ate that life-changing combination of tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and sea salt every night for a week straight. All my tomato aversions disappeared and now I am a regular participant in tomato eating.

I've never gotten over my hatred of: mushrooms. Someone said it - slimy dirt! Onions - unless they're small diced and in something. No big chunks of onion (like on a burger or something, gross!!!). Beets and peppers are bitter - almost taste like cleaning solution to me! I'll eat peppers in stuff when the pepper flavor isn't the focus (like chili).

I found that once I started preparing my own foods they were more appealing. Like: Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite things these days b/c I roast the crap out of them with EVOO, S&P - they get all crusty and brown! Same with asparagus. I never would have eaten these if someone gave them to me steamed plain but doing it my own way has opened doors.

Wishing I could love seafood. I live on the South Shore of Boston so there's plenty of fresh fish...and yet I don't like it. Such a shame! It really puts a damper on being able to have a lobster/clam bake (which would be an excellent party).

I am really suprised, also, about how many people do not like tomatoes! Being Southern, there is nothing quite like a tomato sandwich with fresh off the vine tomatoe, white bread and mayonaise! And sweet potatoes! I can eat them like an apple (but cooked of course).

I wish I would like lamb - I've tried and it just taste too "gamey". I also wished I could like goat cheese.

Seafood, eggs (solo, in pasta/fried rice is fine), eggplant. I'm finding that if I just believe I like something and start eating it... I do enjoy it after a while. Except for seafood, eggs and eggplant. No dice there.

wish I liked cilantro because it's in everything these days!

also wish I liked olives because those olive bars always look so fun and yummy!

Gosh...my list is long but here goes: Seafood/shellfish, olives, most squash, CUCUMBERS!!!, mushrooms, eggplant, brussels sprouts, pumpkin (raw, anyway...smell makes me gag), pickles, okra, liver, and I can't stand lettuce when it's mixed with hot meat. (As in, on a hamburger, or in a taco...blechh!)
