"The unpalatable truth" Your Food Hates

Post your food hates - what you seriously cannot abide, something that if it is included in a dish or meal puts you right off!!
Here are mine -
Durian fruit - a noxious, rotten smelling fruit from South Asia that many think is a delicacy.
Tripe - well, the English version, of white, sticky sheep intestine strips, boiled, and usually served in a white sauce with onions.
Mushy peas - again English. Perfectly decent peas crushed to a paste - no flavour and gangrenous colour.
Chaume Cheese - a very popular Belgian Cheese that both smells and tastes of sweaty shoes gone bad. (and I even like unpasteurized Danish Blue)
Up to you now - have fun!!!

Still, I'd try durian again before I'd try that English crap like mushy peas. Who in their right mind eats that?

Apparently we had 'bought' the entire sheep when he asked earlier in the day for $5 to get food for dinner. They had used everything in the stew but the eyes were placed near the bottom for serving as they were considered the best part.
I cannot actually say I dislike sheep eyes, having never actually had one - but the thought...

Onions-Taste like what my sweaty armpits smell like, and they're spicy hot too.
Parsnips-Just nasty tasting with a doughy, pasty feel.
Tomatos-Can't figure out if they are a fruit or vegetable. Either way, they suck.
Steak and Kidney pie-Made the mistake of having this homemade at a friend's place years ago. Their whole place smelled like a back alley in New Orleans after Mardi Gras. Just disgusting.
Olives-Rubbery, really nasty tasting little things.
Calamari-Tastes okay if you like chewing on tires.
Anything spicy. I'll never understand why people want to burn their mouths when they eat. I seem to live in a society of masochists. Very strange.

Ok yes most animal organs though the occasional liver is pretty good.
Water chesnuts are boring...
Oh yeah and sea urchin gross!

Wonder if you might like this - my wife and I were looking for a restaurant in a small French town a few years back. Walking down a side street an utterly offensive smell (somewhat like sewage) floated out of a fairly crowded restaurant. We avoided that place and much later found out what the 'delicacy' was.Hmmm... I like pretty much everything...

Apparently there is an American version - although I have never heard of it being sold in Canada.
If anyone can discover something more disgusting post it..

I like anything from super spicy Korean to boring English food. From sushi made from random scraps as a joke from the chef, to a can of spam.

I'm not a fan of cilantro or most curries/indian foods
curry powder is just a spice blend, so would it one of the spices that goes in it? (usually cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger & other stuff)
