Not quite in the spirit of what you've asked, but I think this still applies:

Cold food. I have no problem with it. I get distracted by kids and my wife gets worked up about how I could come back to cold food and not heat it up. Doesn't bother me.

Same food every day. I've spent years eating tuna sandwich and an apple for lunch every day of the working week. "Don't you want variety?" Nope. I also used to bulk cook food. So even my dinner was the same every day. Didn't bother me.

same food every day gang! it's cheap, nutritious, delicious, and a breeze to prepare, what's not to like?

[-] AskewLord@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

i can't eat the same thing for more than 3 days without it making me gag

There are a lot of vegetables people don't like because they are often prepared poorly. Brocolli, brussel sprouts, etc - seasoned and roasted, they're great. Boiled to mush, not so much.

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Brussels sprouts have also been bred over the last couple decades to be much less bitter and have generally a better flavour than what we'd have had as kids.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

You're right, they're much more palatable these days. But even decades ago, roasting them with a liberal amount of salt, and maybe a bit of lemon juice on top, they were still decent. Boiled to mush with a single-digit number of grains of salt tastes bad regardless of the decade.

My theory is that back when most people smoked regularly, adults couldn't taste anything and were generally not great in the kitchen because of it.

Umm, how do most people feel about sauerkraut? It goes well with mashed potatoes and pork, or on a hotdog.

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I recommend trying kimchi hotdogs

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Sauerkraut and kimchi are so delicious! Fermented cabbage is so much better than it should be.

It's really good as an ingredient in chicken soup.

[-] EonNShadow@pawb.social 7 points 1 week ago

Most people I know seem to hate it unfortunately

Well-made sauerkraut is delicious

Vegemite, Malört, Peated Whiskey (might just be everyone around me only but still), black licorice, soy sauce, and natto.

Yes, I can still taste regular things, no, I've never smoked a day in my life. Now leave me and my slimy beans and my delicious toast alone

[-] triptrapper@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I think a lot of the Malört hate is hype. People love talking about how disgusting it is, and that's just become the thing to do when anyone mentions it. The first time I tried it I thought, "I can understand why people don't like it, but it's just an herbal spirit like many others." I tried it a second time years later and said, "Ah, okay. This really is disgusting."

Nah peated whiskey is an acquired taste for sure. Even in my most alcoholic years, I wouldn’t touch the stuff haha

Most pizzas have tomato on?

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago

Scientific taxonomy =/= cultural classification

[-] Tujio@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing not to put it on a fruit salad.

[-] remon@ani.social 7 points 1 week ago

Pineapple is the exception!

A lot of people seem to balk at canned sardines. Maybe it's the crunch of biting into the spine that puts people off..

[-] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 week ago

I vividly remember my horror when first totally unexpectedly encountering anchovis.

Ordered a pizza during a school trip to Norther Italy.
Read the "anchovis" on the description, but confused it with "artichoke", which I like.

Instantly spit out the fish part, dissected the pizza and confronted the waiter with the fact that there were "dead fish complete with bones" on my pizza.

I guess this is one of the stories the waiter still tells, when asked about the most crazy customers... ;-)

[-] bacon_saber@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago

dead fish complete with bones

Well they're harder to keep on the pizza when they're alive!

[-] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago

Keep in mind that I still was under shock and just kept repeating, horrified as I was, the first thing that came to my mind: "Da ist ein toter Fisch auf meiner Pizza!" (Southern Tirol is a German speaking part of Italy), which also became a running gag and stayed with me until the end of class :-)

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

It's honestly my comfort food. Cook it with chili paste and onion, or mince it and mix it with onion and egg and then fry it, then slap a piece of bread on top.

A lot of folks are saying brussel sprouts... interestingly:
the flavour has changed..

Black licorice. I don't understand why it's an uncommonly liked taste, it's just a delicious "rooty spice" taste like root beer.

Apparently it's very dark beers. I can't find any grocery store regularly selling them but I can find a million IPA's. I don't mind an IPA but I like to mix it up and also cooking with dark beers is amazing.

Moxie. It's one of those cough syrup flavored type of sodas. I also like the taste of Jagermeister too.

Inverse... I don't like lobster. Everyone says it's so amazing but it tastes like nothing to me. Flavorless.

My username says it

But I guess it sits at a weird crossroad of "it's all over Instagram" and "most people don't seem to like the taste"

As an American not many people I've come across like Icelandic licorice like Opal but I love the stuff. If I go back I'm stuffing my suitcase to the fills with it. Costs way too much to get it shipped here.

I use to eat black olive by the can and sour cream by the spoonful. Also fresh tomatoes are disliked by some but man. My garden fresh tomatoes are amazing.
