What Food Do you Dislike that Everyone Else Loves, and Why

The ONLY beer I'll drink is Hornsby's. It doesn't have that nasty beer after taste...

Well, since I don't like olives, I don't like them on deviled eggs. But I know plenty of people who will put a slice of olive on the "yolk" as a garnish.

I've never seen aspic, so I've never had it. Again, maybe it's regional? It looks kinda weird... I'm going to google the recipe when I'm through with this post.
ETA: Hmmm... tomato juice, gelatin, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, sugar and hot pepper sauce? I'm not getting a good vibe about this! What is this dish served with (or is it eaten by itself)?

It's served as a salad -- on lettuce and often with a dab of mayonaisse (homemade or Duke's, of course ) or a similar dressing on top.

I would point out that I detest lima beans, but I don't think everyone else loves those.

I do!

I'm with you on cherry pies, but apple pies and berry pies of any variety (blue-, rasp-, black-, straw-) are heaven on earth as far as I'm concerned.

And I hate rhubarb and pumpkin.

Watermelon. Chocolate milk.

lima, navy and pinto beans.

I used to be a really picky eater, but I've gotten better as I've gotten older.

I don't like:
- Raw tomatoes, unless in bruschetta in which case the olive oil counters some of the acidity
- Most seafood (though I love salmon - Pacific/wild salmon ONLY, no Atlantic salmon for me!)
- Eggplant, unless you're talking about the color
- White chocolate
- Curry and most Indian food
- Peas
- Cooked veggies, except for corn and green beans
- Avocados and guacamole
- Spicy "sauces"
- Most beans (black, lima, red, white, refried, garbonzo) - I don't like the texture
- Foie Gras

Hey, a kindred spirit!

Add to those:

Coffee
Chocolate and mint together in any form
Aspartame in anything
Melons (I love watermelon but I'm allergic to melons. Canteloupe actually smells like poison to me.)

[whiteandblack]

okra.

[nikki1920]

cooked lettuce?

[joliebelle]

i don't like...
tomatoes
pork (ok, but i eat bacon)
fish
okra
onions
peppers
egg yolk
meatloaf
i think that's it...

[Velocity_14]

I absolutely HATE:

eggs---yuck!
potato soup---soup is not supposed to be thick...eeewwww!
dressing without cranberry sauce---it just doesn't taste right without it
any type of gravy
okra---just yuck!

[genesis412]

Mayo, hot dogs, sushi, any kind of fast food and gravy. All terrible!

Everyone seems to think I've crazy, but I absolutely detest GARLIC!!!! Please keep it away. I hate everything about it! So in most restaurants, I have to be so, so careful about what I order. I've even been to places that put garlic on plain old green beans. Now why would you do that to a perfectly good bean?

OMG you Vampire! Now we all know why you chose ASA - you're a big fan of Crimson.

lol... The only way I ever cook green beans is with garlic and onions.

Tomatoes and bananas -- I think it's a texture thing because I like the flavor of both. Banana flavored pudding is great, but the homemade stuff with actual banana pieces makes me squirm. And I'll eat cooked tomatoes but not raw ones -- the slimy seeds get to me.
