Another anise/licorice hater. I don't think I will ever wish I liked it, as I think it is an overpowering flavor that kills any other flavor in a dish. I shudder just thinking about it.

I also can't stand anything anise/licorice flavored. I'll get a hint of fennel in an otherwise delicious dish and it will also be ruined.


Me too! I hate olives and hate the anise flavor. Of course, MIL puts anise in everything. Totally ruins things.


NP here -- we should have lunch!


Another olive hater here! Black and green. Unlike a PP I don't like olive tapenade, olive bread, or anything olive-related other than olive oil.

Also cannot tolerate feta/goat cheese, which is in everything these days. I keep waiting for goat cheese to be passe, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Sigh.

I just can't get over the idea of eating fungi.


Agreed! But they're in everything, and all my friends like them. Wish I did, too.

Red peppers. Generally I just pick them out of the food, but the taste is SO overwhelming for me that I don't really enjoy the meal. A lot of restaurant food seems to have red pepper in it.

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

I seriously can't think of anything that I can't/won't eat. Some things I like less than others, but I'm fine with most stuff.

Sushi. Can't bear the thought of it. I know it's not all raw fish and certain varieties are totally vegetarian, but just the fact that my food has been sitting near raw fish -- shudder. I find I get some raised eyebrows -- living in a big city and in the professional world, people expect you to be open minded enough to deal.
