Vegemite, Malört, Peated Whiskey (might just be everyone around me only but still), black licorice, soy sauce, and natto.

Yes, I can still taste regular things, no, I've never smoked a day in my life. Now leave me and my slimy beans and my delicious toast alone

    I think a lot of the Malört hate is hype. People love talking about how disgusting it is, and that's just become the thing to do when anyone mentions it. The first time I tried it I thought, "I can understand why people don't like it, but it's just an herbal spirit like many others." I tried it a second time years later and said, "Ah, okay. This really is disgusting."

    Nah peated whiskey is an acquired taste for sure. Even in my most alcoholic years, I wouldn’t touch the stuff haha

    I was, well I was started on 5 o'clock (basically paint stripper if you don't know it) and moved up to peated. Was never really anything in-between for me. I guess since it wasn't paint stripper it was easier to acquire the taste, lol

    Soy sauce? I do know many people who don’t like black licorice (the best licorice) and have no idea what the rest taste like, but soy sauce? Isn’t that in half the world’s dinner? ( plus secret ingredient for fluffy scrambled eggs?). I’ve never heard of anyone not liking that

    Globally it's probably not the most common one but growing up in the South a lot of people I knew would complain about how salty and disgusting it tasted. They were used to very plain food, under seasoned biscuits and gravy, barely seasoned chicken, grits with just shrimp no salt, etc.

    Now, my own wife (from the North) also dislikes soy sauce though in her defence we found out she's allergic and that might be why.

    I don't know what Malört is but I feel like you and I would get on real well.

    It's a wormwood liqueur from out of Chicago. Bitter and strong and delicious. It's from Chicago, IL. Highly recommend finding some if you can. It goes right along with everything else on the list, it's strong and knows what it is and isn't afraid of itself.
