Unpopular opinions about food

This seems to be a rather unpopular opinion based on the reactions from people I know, but I really do not like tomatoes.

Tomato sauce? Great! Paste? Even better! Ketchup? Can't get enough!

Keep that disgusting "fruit" in its raw form off my salads and burgers though. I have even tasted fresh ones grown in my own garden-- still awful.

Also, cilantro tastes good but cutting a raw, fresh bunch makes my nostrils close up and causes a mettalic taste to form in my mouth. Dried and pre-packaged works no problem though.

Oh hey, I'm not the only one that doesn't like uncooked tomatoes. I can at least tolerate them sun dried or fried.
 
My mom in law likes to put a dollop of mayo on a boneless chicken breast with some salt+pepper, and bake that shit in the oven. It's the weirdest, most vile thing I've ever witnessed, and it only made me hate mayo more.

This sounds so genuinely horrible that I have always wanted to try it. This stuff even horrified Andrew Zimmern the bizarre foods guy.
Can't remember what episode, but some sort of chinese jellied milk dish horrified him compared to the other stuff he was eating. I will say that kæst skata (fermented skate but boiled in smoked lamb broth afterwards) is worst. It has a burning like sensation on your tongue. The Korean version 홍어 is eaten with garlic, ginger, green onions, and chili paste to mask the taste of it.

Im of the "you have to get homegrown tomatoes" school of thought so Im biased, but this is a pretty common opinion.

I find a much more uncommon tomato opinion is that ketchup itself is disgusting. Why you would dunk a potato in it is insane. Pickles, with a bit of acid tang are fine, and mustard in certain applications are fine, to brighten something up--tomato sauce and paste is fine so long as it avoids being too sweet, but ketchup outside of maybe as an ingredient in barbecue sauce is a weird mixture of tangy, too sweet, too strong, and doesnt taste like tomato anything at all.

The standard burger combo of "ketchup, mustard, pickles, letuce, maybe mayo," is gross. I can deal with a dagwood but keep ketchup off it.

Honestly I cant think of a use for ketchup, or any recipe that uses it, outside of fast food/hamburgers (and "special sauce"--even normies think you need to add mayo to it to make it okay)/food like chicken nuggets, and barbecue sauce if that's your thing.

The wendy's Baconator sounds good on paper but the price point in conjunction with the fact the condiment and bun ratio is out of whack makes it sub-par overall compared to other similarly priced fast food burgers.

Eh, when the Baconator first came out it was different, the bacon was a lot better and I don't recall it drooping with condiment (Burger King on the other hand...I swear they own stock in who ever they get their mayo from).

In the 14 years the Baconator been around Wendy's went back to subpar Fast food bacon it seems, ruining their bacon burgers.

The worst were the baconator fries. There was a spoonful of dried up cheese and a few bacon bit sprinkled on top. I'm not sure if they are still on the menu.

Where I live, my Wendys still has them. When they first came out it was shredded cheese with bacon on top, but when I got them with my free coupon from the mail they were some soggy ass fries steaming in a container with this cheese sauce mound with barely any bacon. I couldn't finish it, shit was nasty. I dunno why they still sell them since when I ordered them the staff was looking around confused like 'we still have that here? Uhh okay-".
