Pineapple and mayonnaise sandwich. Yuck!! I had one at a reception one time. It's such a strange, gross combination. Maybe it's because I'm a Yankee that I don't like it.

More oysters for me!

I LOVE oysters - youngest son (8) tried them and was NOT a fan. But I was impressed - I didn't learn to love oysters until I was in my 30s, and never tried them till then, because they are the OPPOSITE of the op's title - they look as though they would not taste good, and yet they DO.

No, they don't.
That is all.

Perhaps the one you ate didn't; my scrumptious fresh Gulf oysters DO.

I cannot get into pate. It looks like cat food. I've never tasted cat food, but I imagine it tastes - like pate.

I don't like the fuzz on peaches. Love the smell of them and taste of the flesh - can't stomach the fuzz.

My wife thinks I'm crazy, because I don't even like the smell of peaches, much less the taste. Just can't stand them. Of course, that means there's more for her.

As for pate, surely cat food tastes better. It just has to.

Count me in with the ones who just won't do raw oysters, but smoked is a whole different story. Love them smoked.

I'm pretty sure being a Yankee has nothing to do with it. That's just nasty.

I think a fresh tomato is a beautiful thing, until I take a bite. Oh, the slime! On the other hand, I will eat anything made from a tomato (ketchup, spaghetti sauce, salsa, etc.)

YES.

I absolutely hate tomatoes on burgers, salads, etc, but I love tomato-based foods (salsa, spaghetti sauce, etc). I used to refuse to eat ANY tomato products, but I've started eating them when they're cooked into pastas or other meals.

Me too. I really dislike when restaurants forget my special order (sans tomato) apologizing as they take away the tomato-laden burger, only to bring it back minutes later w/out the tomato and thinking that somehow I'm not going to notice that big thin line of tomato slime left on my burger.

..but I'm over it. really I am.

I'm the same way, but I usually just take the tomato slime. I figure it beats the heck out of server saliva.

Ditto.

I will add to the list: beer. I have tried at least a dozen different kinds trying to find one that doesn't make my tastebuds cuss me out and all I can say is the colors are pretty. The closest I've come is a pretty blonde one with an orange in it. I made it 3 sips before calling it quits. I only wanted to like it because my friends all love pubs and breweries so I was always left out but I'm comfortable with it now. Especially if there is pear cider involved!

Same here. Only eat fresh tomatoes in guacamole with the slime removed and diced. Otherwise, can't eat them.
