Op here. I also think licorice is awful, but I've never wished that I like it.

I did think of another one--Green Tea. I love love love tea, but green tea tastes like dirt to me.

Ha! I hate lettuce on sandwiches, especially burgers. What is the point?

Red onions. They make me physically ill, and they are in EVERYTHING.

Mmm, liquid dinner

I like Mexican, but margaritas are the first thing I think of when I'm headed to a Mexican joint.

Mussels. A big plate of mussels in garlic butter looks and smells so good, but. . .gag.

And oysters. It feels like swallowing snot. I can't get over it.

Oddly enough, I like green, yellow, and orange peppers

Me too!

For me, I dislike GREEN peppers, love the rest.

+1 to yogurt. Can't stand it. Also I really hate onions, cooked, uncooked, caramelized, whatever. A crunchy onion can ruin guacamole for me and a slimy one in pasta sauce does the same. I love the taste/smell but hate hate hate the texture so I always sub onion powder in my recipes. Same for garlic!

I like fennel just fine; I was unaware so many people used it in their cooking.

You do realize that the red liquid in meat is not blood, right?

What do you suppose it might be? And it sure tastes like blood to me.

Gag! Those jelly beans are all yours!

Soft shell crabs. Maryland crabs.

Both gross me out, but I love crab cakes and living in this region I wish I could get into the whole eating a bucket of crabs thing.

Nope! It's water and protien. I learn something new every day.

Another olive person here. Love olive oil, but dislike olives, and really do wish I enjoyed them.

Otherwise, raw veggies. I dislike most. I suffer through salads.
