Oregano. Even fresh, it is just hideous to me.

Yeah, oregano smells terrible.

I don’t get the nutmeg hate. What is it in?

I guess I am the only ginger disliker. I know it’s more of a popular spice but it’s not my favorite. I’ve become more tolerant of it lately.

No, I was going to say ginger and rosemary. I dislike both.

What....does poop taste like??? Nevermind, I don't want to know.

I'm not a fan of the smell or taste of straight tarragon, but I have a fabulous cream of asparagus soup recipe that it just makes amazing.

The only thing I don't like is a spice used in a specific Chinese restaurant near where I used to work (not DC -- another country). The egg rolls had a strong musty taste, but the spring rolls did not. We always subbed out spring rolls because of that. I never figured out what it was, but even though I like just about everything, I couldn't stomach that one.

I don't know of any spice I don't like - I love most of them! Well I don't lice licorice flavoring. But other than that, I love dill, ginger, nutmeg, pretty much everything else listed here.

Was aware of the cilantro problem, but really suprised by all the cumin hate.

I hated cumin for years — even the tiniest bit. Surprisingly though, I really like cumin seeds.

+1 on fennel seeds and anise. Not sure which one I dislike more.
