Even in pho?
I used to enjoy pho many years ago when Vietnamese food was new to the region. Maybe they didn't use anise then? I can't enjoy it anymore because of the anise.

But I can understand aversion to fennel, anise, and tarragon if you don't like licorice. Oddly enough, I can't stand licorice, and I'll take a hard pass on tarragon. But fennel and anise don't bother me.
Same here!

White pepper - it tastes like poop to me (this is apparently a thing for some people like how some people think cilantro tastes like soap)

Every other spice I enjoy in certain preparations, but I have never enjoyed tumeric. It is supposed to be incredibly healthy for you, so I've tried it a lot. It just has an acrid/bitter quality that makes me feel like the dish is rancid or poison. Blech!
You’re supposed to just add a pinch, not shovel it in.
PP you quoted- thanks? I do not "shovel it in."

I loathe them.
I hate them too and I've wondered if there's a genetic component like with cilantro (which I love) which makes licorice taste so foul to some people and apparently delightful to others.

But in my cabinet I have never not once used Fennel Seeds. Even the Cardamom gets used more.
Adding cardamom to chocolate chip cookies is divine

Tumeric tea is delightful.
