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.

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

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

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If by cold food you mean room temperature food then I definitely agree. Doesn’t bother me in the least. But if you mean fridge cold, most times I’ll want to heat it at least to room temperature first.

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

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day 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.

[–] Alienz8mypopcorn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Fucking dope! Ugh, it is a top tier hot dog topping with spicy mustard.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I recommend trying kimchi hotdogs

[–] Semester3383@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Love it. Goes great with sausage (not sweet Italian sausage; the sweet flavor isn't complementary).

[–] EonNShadow@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most people I know seem to hate it unfortunately

Well-made sauerkraut is delicious

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

People dislike saurkraut?

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 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 6 points 1 day 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.

Blue Cheese. I spread it on crackers.

[–] Goforce5@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I fucking love blue cheese. Easily the best cheese.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I love anchovies on pizza. I should do an anchovy, onion, and mushroom pizza…

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do it! That is how I used to get leftovers when I made pizza - anchovy, onion, garlic, and hot peppers. One pizza nobody else would touch so that I could secure lunch for me.

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 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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."

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"

Candy corn

Peeps

Sweethearts at Valentines Day

Pineapple on pizza

[–] datavoid@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] dkppunk@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Exactly!

Candy corn: honey flavored sugar

Peeps: marshmallow flavored sugar

Sweethearts at Valentines Day: chalk textured sugar

Pineapple on pizza: sugar on pizza

😬

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

I’ve always loved mushrooms. Even as a kid cream of mushroom soup was my favorite.

Also like black licorice/ jelly beans

And I really like mustards. My Burger King order in the 70s was “mustard only”. I currently have 8 different mustards in my fridge.

[–] Courantdair@jlai.lu 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fruits with chocolate, like in Pim's biscuits. I love it and I don't think I've met anyone who does not hate it.

Also I love fruits on pizza (including pineapple) so I guess I'm weird.

Broccoli

Hell, as a kid I liked it

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

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

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I liked Crystal Pepsi. I am the only person I have ever met who did.

Brussels, anchovies, kimchi and mushrooms. Never tried liver. I'll have to put it on my list.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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 day ago (2 children)

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... ;-)

I'm never sure what is popular but all of these have gotten an eew from someone.

Anchovies

Black Licorice

Limburger Cheese

Okra

Not all mixed together. I like every sort of olive, love goat cheese, that Thai green papaya salad, and the weird green mango pickle.

I thought everyone liked brussel sprouts now, they have been bred to be less bitter and the way people commonly prepare them now is better too.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

stevia as alternative sweetner, not to sweet and not to bland. people hate it, because it has a wierd taste. 85%-100% dark chocolate.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 1 day ago

Chicken feet, spiced or pickled.
