    I used to hate hummus also, now I love it. I think it might be somewhat of an acquired taste, it's different.
    For me, the top food I hate is cottage cheese. The taste is bland and the texture reminds me of vomit. :sick:

    Am I odd because I absolutely love almost every thing that has been listed here?? Haven't had chai seeds or quinoa, but I'm sure they would be good if prepared well. I do hate my carrots cooked unless they are in a soup or stew, but i really can't think of anything else. Then again, I was raised by organic gardening hippies.

    I guess I intensely dislike when people take healthy stuff and try to "make" them taste like things that we love. For instance, spaghetti squash...no, it will never taste like pasta..and would probably only taste good if you deep fried it, put sauce and a half pound of mozzarella cheese on it. I don't like too many veggies..peas makes me gag..so i stick to salads and green beans...lol

    I love kale though, but we prepare it differently. I don't understand the kale fad and why people on this continent insist on eating it raw or as chips - that's not how it's supposed to be eaten as it's very difficult to digest and it does taste bitter. I grew up in Europe and we only ate it in winter. It was never harvested until it had a good frost over it. It was long, slow braised with pork or sausages and other seasonings, like onions and/or leeks. Usually took at least 2 hours to cook. When it's done it's a very flavourful dish that's easy to eat and digest. No bitterness left at all.

    I'm with you on the kale. I like it best by far cooked through in soups and stews. We made one with lentils, kale, onion and sweet potato this Sunday and it was heavenly.

    skim milk (or any milk at all, really, but skim milk is ALWAYS mentioned as a weight loss food), steamed broccoli, brussel sprouts, spinach (it's okay, I just don't love it), boca burgers

    I hate cooked cauliflower so much I practically burst into flames at the mere smell of it.

    I also HATE Boca burgers. I bought a box once at Sam's Club and I was just like eww, how do people eat these?!

    I love the veggie burgers from Morningstar Farms though.

    Celery tastes like assy grass.

    Salads with no dressing. I like the ingredients separately, but together in a proper salad? Just no.

    Skim milk. Might as well stir some flour in water and chug it. Looks similar and tastes similar.

    Celery in every form is revolting. I pick it out of soup. I can't believe they ruin Bloody Marys with it. And who the hell can eat that crap raw???

    I'm surprised how many people on here hate kale. I make a dish a week that has kale in it, and they've all been awesome. You do have to wash it really well and wilt or blanch it first... Eating it raw is a terrible idea.

    I can't really enjoy tofu. At best, its just an inoffensive addition of protein. I have to chop it super small to enjoy it in stir fry

    Brussel sprouts. Never had them, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like them.

    Am I the only one that loves Kale? I add it to soups and pasta, but my favorite is just to saute it with a little bit of EVOO, garlic and red pepper flakes...nom nom nom.

    Quinoa--yuck
    Brown rice-yuck
    cottage cheese-double yuck
    regular yogurt-eew
    I can tolerate greek yogurt only because it's thicker.
    oatmeal-double yuck yuck eew eew

    It is all about the texture for all of these foods. I also hate all peppers but that is a taste thing, not texture.
