Not judging, but how does this work out for you? Are people with whom you eat generally irritated or do they not care?

I cook for my family mostly and hasn’t seemed to be an issue.

Goat cheese. No matter how many times I try it has too much of a weird stink it makes me ill.
I love love love any type of regular cow's cheese though.
I thought I had an unconscious bias against goat cheese and once upon a time tricked my kids into eating it saying it was regular cow's cheese, and even they immediately rejected it

I desperately hate “American cheese” (like craft singles). And sweetbreads.

Panda Express sucks shit. You can pretend it is real Chinese food but it is not.

To the poster with the husband: the foods you listed, especially the onions, are classic indicators that your husband has a form of IBS and needs to eat a low-Fodmap diet. People who need a low-Fodmap diet need it because their small intestine cannot absorb the nutrients in high-Fodmap foods and it causes intestinal distress.

Take a look at this link for high-Fodmap foods (https://livinghappywithibs.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/high-fodmap-foods-to-avoid-by-fodmap-20140406.pdf). Do you see any here that make your husband sick or that he avoids because he hates them? The food hate may come from the fact that the foods make him feel sick or nauseous. Do a search on the internet about Fodmap. It may help your husband a lot.

Our daughter was diagnosed with this form of IBS and it has made a world of difference in her life now that I know what foods to avoid when I make meals for her. It also helps to know that she isn't just a "picky" eater and that she was avoiding foods that she subconsciously knew would make her sick!

Many people find boiled okra slimy, but like fried. I'd try this at a South Asian place like Tasty Kabob at the Boro or frying it yourself.

Insects
Worms
Durian fruit
Raw and rare meat

I think I pretty much can eat everything else. Not necessarily that some things would be my first choice, but I could eat it.

I'm glad I didn't cross sea urchin completely off my list. Found it absolutely disgusting even at two fairly high end sushi places in California, but to avoid being rude tried it again in Japan and it was incredible.

This was my mom. Real onions made her sick so they were removed from all recipes and replaced with dried onions, if the recipe truly needed onion flavor.
