Water chestnuts and sweet pickles. Anything else edible is fine by me. What food do you hate?

Brussels sprouts.
It's not food, it's what food eats.

Broccoli and seafood of all types.
Put it this way...if you invited me to dinner and served those items, I would rudely opt not to eat.

- I never actually learned to play very well
Brussels sprouts here too. Also beets. I can tolerate most anything else.
I'm with you on the water chestnuts, hate that hard texture and flavorless nothing. Bamboo shoots are right up there too with me, bean sprouts also.
Can't stand that whole pickle juice flavor thing, not for me, no sir.
Very little is in my no way no how, and of those most have been a been there done that deal so I at least gave it a go.
Scirraco - never, ever again.
Menudo - I like every single ingredient in it, except the tripe. Every time I've given it a go it has tasted like someone took a fantastic soup, and then added a sweaty gym sock that had been pissed on, baked in a guano bowl in a cowchip fueled stone hearth.
Honeydew Melons - The taste makes no sense to my pallet. It's like a cantaloupe mated with a water melon. No bueno.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
Cilantro. I'm one of those people with a genetic predisposition where it tastes like soap.
I feel the same way about cucumbers. Absolutely hate them. I'm sure that's what windex would taste like. Weird thing is, I love tzatziki sauce.
Also hate the melon family.
I like most Thai food, but...
while spending some time working upcountry in the mountains I ate what the locals ate, and some days I'd just go w/o:
This particular dish is called Plah-Rah, and it's fermented fish.
If you could smell it, you'd understand why it's off-putting.
Normally a little is tossed in with papaya salad or other dishes, but in Northeast Thailand & Laos that eat the full-on fermented fish. I can't stand it, and finally stopped trying to.
This is from a guy who can easily eat balut:
balut is a fermented duck's egg, a thing of delicacy in the Philippines
I also love 1,000 year eggs:
They had some folks on Amazing Race eat these & they were next to spewing, LOL
but I've always loved them, plenty of iodine

You know what kind of food I hate. If you don't know, take a look at my signature.
Balut is legitimately tasty. I've had it a few times. But the combo bite of flesh, beak and bone is a bit much.
Another one for brussel sprouts here.
Hated 'em as a kid, tried 'em as an adult and still hated 'em.

Beets are my all-time most hated vegetable. Otherwise, I love 'em all!
Next would be weird, fishy stuff I am unfamiliar with. I love seafood from the Northeast region of the nation (chowder, steamers, baked fish, clam cakes), but I can't take exotic, Asian style fish sauces or dishes.
