Not quite in the spirit of what you've asked, but I think this still applies:

Cold food. I have no problem with it. I get distracted by kids and my wife gets worked up about how I could come back to cold food and not heat it up. Doesn't bother me.

Same food every day. I've spent years eating tuna sandwich and an apple for lunch every day of the working week. "Don't you want variety?" Nope. I also used to bulk cook food. So even my dinner was the same every day. Didn't bother me.

    There are a lot of vegetables people don't like because they are often prepared poorly. Brocolli, brussel sprouts, etc - seasoned and roasted, they're great. Boiled to mush, not so much.

    Brussels sprouts have also been bred over the last couple decades to be much less bitter and have generally a better flavour than what we'd have had as kids.

    You're right, they're much more palatable these days. But even decades ago, roasting them with a liberal amount of salt, and maybe a bit of lemon juice on top, they were still decent. Boiled to mush with a single-digit number of grains of salt tastes bad regardless of the decade.

    My theory is that back when most people smoked regularly, adults couldn't taste anything and were generally not great in the kitchen because of it.

    Umm, how do most people feel about sauerkraut? It goes well with mashed potatoes and pork, or on a hotdog.

    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."

    A lot of people seem to balk at canned sardines. Maybe it's the crunch of biting into the spine that puts people off..

    I vividly remember my horror when first totally unexpectedly encountering anchovis.

    Ordered a pizza during a school trip to Norther Italy.
    Read the "anchovis" on the description, but confused it with "artichoke", which I like.

    Instantly spit out the fish part, dissected the pizza and confronted the waiter with the fact that there were "dead fish complete with bones" on my pizza.

    I guess this is one of the stories the waiter still tells, when asked about the most crazy customers... ;-)

    dead fish complete with bones

    Well they're harder to keep on the pizza when they're alive!

    Keep in mind that I still was under shock and just kept repeating, horrified as I was, the first thing that came to my mind: "Da ist ein toter Fisch auf meiner Pizza!" (Southern Tirol is a German speaking part of Italy), which also became a running gag and stayed with me until the end of class :-)

    Apparently it's very dark beers. I can't find any grocery store regularly selling them but I can find a million IPA's. I don't mind an IPA but I like to mix it up and also cooking with dark beers is amazing.

    Black licorice. I don't understand why it's an uncommonly liked taste, it's just a delicious "rooty spice" taste like root beer.

    Durian. I don’t even think it smells bad. Smells okay and tastes good to me

    Moxie. It's one of those cough syrup flavored type of sodas. I also like the taste of Jagermeister too.

    Inverse... I don't like lobster. Everyone says it's so amazing but it tastes like nothing to me. Flavorless.

    I use to eat black olive by the can and sour cream by the spoonful. Also fresh tomatoes are disliked by some but man. My garden fresh tomatoes are amazing.

    As an American not many people I've come across like Icelandic licorice like Opal but I love the stuff. If I go back I'm stuffing my suitcase to the fills with it. Costs way too much to get it shipped here.

    My username says it

    But I guess it sits at a weird crossroad of "it's all over Instagram" and "most people don't seem to like the taste"

    I'm never sure what is popular but all of these have gotten an eew from someone.

    Anchovies

    Black Licorice

    Limburger Cheese

    Okra

    Not all mixed together. I like every sort of olive, love goat cheese, that Thai green papaya salad, and the weird green mango pickle.

    I thought everyone liked brussel sprouts now, they have been bred to be less bitter and the way people commonly prepare them now is better too.
