To be fair, everything I hate is something I've tried to like, lol. I just can't.

In regards to what I eat: Alot of people in this thread don't care for Thai or Chinese, and I like it alot. Same with Mexican. Love all veggies. Most meat (as long as it's not cold cuts or fish). Love pizza.

I also surprisingly like crab and lobster even though I don't like fish.

I also enjoy the Lakers, the Roots, and long walks on the beach, lol.
Well, you tried and that's what counts. Though I could rekindle our faux friendship over the Roots.

It's made from yeast extract which in itself sounds disgusting, and I've since found out I'm allergic to yeast. So I guess there's no heartbreak that I won't be having vegemite ever again.

Thankfully I was raised by parents who said we didn't have to clean our plate, didn't have to like anything, but we did have to try and under no circumstance were we allowed to make faces or comments about anything anyone else was eating. It's the "ooooh, you're going to eat THAT?" that is just not cool.

I also don't get it about country music and techno. ESPECIALLY techno. I mean, maybe if you're in a bar because you can dance without thinking about the tempo of the music (since it's all the same) but why on earth would anyone actually BUY a techno CD? And seriously, why 2? They're all the same song!
Vegemite was the BIGGEST letdown ever. I went into it thinking it would taste like Nutella. boy, was i disappointed.

And the way you feel about techno, i feel about reggaeton. every song has the same beat in the background.

I had never heard of texture aversion until a few years ago and feel like a freak for it, but I have read that there are many people who have this type of situation.
I've got a texture thing too - pudding, tapioca, cottage cheese (which is gross to me anyway - how anyone eats it with fruit, blech), mussels, oysters (like mushrooms, like the flavor, hate the texture)...

and this isnt exactly "things other people like," but i cant stand wet feet (especially with flipflips on, or coming out of the pool or shower), and i hate the feeling of being covered in sand when you come out of the beach water - gross.

wet doorknobs/handles are nasty too. and sitting in a warm seat (from someone else's butt heat).
