Oh, raw oysters are the best! 
I actually can't think of any food that looks good to me but tastes awful. Food either looks and tastes good, looks and tastes bad, or looks bad but tastes good. I am willing to try something that doesn't look like it would taste good ... I've discovered some nummy treats that way (e.g. eel sushi) and I've also found some real losers.

A Turkish TA brought this in for us to try once.
If the White Witch offered it to me, I'd be like "Nah. I'm good."

Traditional Turkish Delight - for example, the rosewater flavour - looks great, tastes like my grandmother's Rose Milk smelled. But the Americanized version - Applets and Cotlets - SO YUMMY. http://www.libertyorchards.com/categ...FQ1U7Aod9HlUKw

THIS was the flavor I got.
My very faulty logic: I picked it because it was pink. I love the pink Starbursts. Figured it would be similar. False.

Nasty stuff.
I also feel the same about Jen's dislike of coffee. It smells AMAZING but is too bitter for me.

Y'all are just misguided...lol. Sushi, oatmeal, veggies, and coffee are some of my favorite things..

Seconded. I do not, however like Skittles or most fruit flavored things. They look pretty but do not taste anything like fruit. This makes me sad, because I love fruit.

I like bananas and grapes but dislike almost anything banana- or grape-flavored. It's so far from tasting like actual banana or grape that it's not worth it for me.

Skittles and Smarties taste like medicine to me.
I saw my parents drinking tea and Diet Coke when I was little and thought it'd be awesome. NOPE!
Unsweetened chocolate. I was thinking "I like dark chocolate; let's try this." I had to wash my mouth out because it was that gross.

Skittles and Smarties…yum. I love tea—Diet drinks in general not so much (though if that's the easiest thing to get to drink, I can deal).
Dark chocolate is…certainly not the same as milk chocolate (or my favorite that some don't even count as real chocolate, aka white chocolate), but it also isn't the worst thing in the world.
As for things I genuinely can't stand to eat: traditional meat-and-beans chili (white bean/chicken chili is an exception), potato salad, olives of any kind, and licorice.

Funny thing is I never eat anything raw, because of the risks of parasites. That was so unlike me. It's just that the person I was with was eating them with crackers and some kind of salsa sauce stuff that the restaurant provided to go with the oysters. I don't know why, but they just looked so good going down, so I decided to try one. That was disaster. If we weren't at a public restaurant, I know I would have puked. It was so slimy, and gross. Blech!
Never again.

I think the thread has morphed into "foods you really find disgusting".
