I agreed with all of these when I was young, but I learned to appreciate Cheesecake (with fruit) and some beans (including bean burritos). Never tried to cultivate a taste for beer, the last thing I need is an addiction or a beer belly on top of my food belly.
I still hate - Walnuts. Many a delicious brownie has been ruined by their inclusion. They taste like dirt, and I will die on that hill. I've had more than one person tell me they like them but agree with me that they taste like dirt.
In another area, movies:
1. Star Wars - part of this is probably due to a personal issue; I wanted to see it when it came out, but I was punished for something by my idiot father so he took my brother without me (whatever I was punished for was likely actually my brother's fault). I watched it he first time it was on network TV several years later and got nothing out of it. No clips I have ever seen of the sequels have piqued any interest in me, nor has anything I have ever read about them.
2. Jurassic Park - the first movie I ever walked out of early; I couldn't take the screaming kids and was rooting for them to be eaten but knew that wouldn't happen.
3. Mission Impossible - the second (and last) movie I ever walked out of early; wearing a face mask doesn't change one's voice and body size!
Since the mid-90s I have seen very few big summer blockbusters and haven't felt like I was missing anything. Except for superhero movies, I like many of those.
