Reliably, there are three things I absolutely can't stand: coffee (or anything with coffee flavoring), any salad dressing besides one specific brand of caeser, and legumes.

I have a similar problem with texture. Anything goopy, lumpy, mushy, slimy or rubbery makes me gag. All these years I thought it was a taste issue but I also have issues touching certain things with my hands, like food garbage, wet cat food, touching newspaper or ripped cardboard, foods like bananas, mushrooms... 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.
