What's a food you hated as a kid and still hate now? - Drinks acceptable too.

Macaroni and cheese fucking sucks and you can’t convince me otherwise. I’ve tried the ones that “are to die for” for everyone’s moms/grandmas/gay dad’s secret receipt book that they swear by and have never changed my mind. I like cheese, I like noodles, but melting the first and mixing too much of it with the latter is an affront to god.
 
Cheddar cheese and really cheeses in general. I can handle it in really limited quantity, and I enjoy the taste of it. I actually think I'm lactose intolerant (I don't drink dairy milk, almond milk instead) and am of northern European descent, which is unheard of.

I've tested my theory a few times. Get cheese on the burger at the restaurant and it'll make me feel gross, get it without and I'll love it and feel great.

It's been a nightmare over the past 5 or so years now that everything is becoming layered in processed cheeses. I get the weirdest looks when I ask for something sans cheese, but with all the vegetables on it, lmao.

Most seafood. Fish, shrimp, lobster. Thought it was vile then and still feel that way. I will never understand people who like tuna in particular, just smelling that shit makes me want to vomit
Holy shit, me too. I never liked most seafood to begin with, but canned fish's smell and taste make me nauseous. A couple years ago, some dipshit who never rinses the dishes before he put them in the dishwasher did what he typically does, so when I was eating a boiled egg, I got a taste of canned tuna and I felt like barfing before I knew what the source was.

The only food I can think of that I genuinely don't like is goat. It has this weird burnt hair taste I can't get past. Even goats milk has it.
 
Might have already said this somewhere but, cantaloupe. Had a babysitter who thought it was desert and didn’t like that I thought it was gross and would force feed me it until I threw up. This eventually concluded with me having to get physically violent with her and that was the end of me having babysitters as a kid. Can’t even look at cantaloupe anymore without feeling sick.
 
Steak and kidney pies. It's funny because I love normal steak pies and steak n ale pies but steak and kidney is just rank.
My grandad bought one and I thought it smelled like literal shite. Ended up just giving it to the dog and having a sandwich instead.
 
Blood sausages I guess
Not a fan of the metallic taste, can barely stand it.
That reminds me. I always found this shit to be super nasty:

A bunch of friends ate it, to me it just straight up smells like a can of cat food.

What the fuck? Why do people even hire babysitters? You're just handing the most precious thing, your child, over to a complete stranger for a day. Your parents had the common sense not to hire a male babysitter at least.
 
I've never been sure if this is some sort of genetic deformity or what, but celery tastes exactly like dirt to me. Not 'earthy', exactly like dirt. Haven't tried any since I was 4, but the smell of gardening makes me think that licking the soil would taste just like celery. Washing doesn't take it out. Cooking doesn't take it out. Dirt isn't even that bad honestly, it's not foul like the already mentioned liver, I just can't understand why anyone would choose to eat celery.
It's the same for me. The smell is actually gag-inducing. I can't and won't eat nor cook celery outside of dishes were it is part of the soffritto/mirepoix, like in Ragù or Jambalaya.
 
Blood sausage, pickled pigs feet (particularly the jellied ones), most liver (the one exception is fried chicken liver)

I like a lot of foods a lot of people consider gross but I can't do those
All kinds of cooked cabbage. As an adult I took a stab at brussel sprouts, they look so delicious and I've tried so many things... Cabbage is too aromatic and sweet when cooked.
Raw cabbage is fine though.
I like the taste, but I can't stand the smell of cooked sauerkraut, and we ate a lot of that in my house growing up. The smell would kind of knock me out and make my eyes water.
