    Can't just name one - organ meats, bananas, and avocados. Yuck!

    Anything fermented. Most vinegar (I can stand balsamic or if the flavor is hidden enough).

    These things make me dry heave. It's not just an I don't like it. I will be actually sick for hours.

    I'm happy to eat most offal, especially liver, though like @Zenwenner I'm not a fan of head cheese, but its the jellied part of the terrine, not the face meat that grosses me out..

    But the one thing that I refuse to eat ever again is brains, in particular, brain that has been prepared to serve cold from the deli.

    Yup. Liver.

    I'm pretty adventurous though.

    Escargot? yum
    frog legs? YUM
    marrow? divine!
    sashimi? Yes please!
    Eel? oh my!

    recently:
    haggis? pretty good.
    blood pudding? meh, not my thing, but not awful.
    gizzards on salad? meh.

    But liver? noo. I've had it, and would not like to have it again.

    LIVER! its nature poison sponge no thank you! Never tried kidneys. I did try calf brains (called sesos in Spanish) and it pretty bland, had to add lots of hot salsa to give it flavor. I think thats it, O this fish jerky made from Mantarray its a delicacy but it was like ROTTEN smelling fish YUCK!

    I agree with the whole offal thing, no thanks... Unless its chicken livers made into pate with bacon, butter and cream, now that is so good!

    I need to add tongue to my NO WAY list. My Irish grandmother used to make it and my father wanted my mom to cook it for us but she refused. He cooked it and made us all try it. I was a young teen and after feeling the cow's tastebuds in my mouth and I told them I would not eat anything "that could taste me back." Never had it again!

    Insects. Farmed insects are supposed to be the "food of the future" because they're so nutritious and so environmentally friendly. I don't think I'll be able to do it. I'm a pretty adventurous eater, but the thought of toasted mealworms on my salad or a muffin made from roasted cricket flour just grosses me out.

    Anything cultured makes me gag or worse so no sour cream or yoghurt. Most kinds of peppers, but especially green and red. I can eat orange and yellow if sautéed to where there is no "bell pepper" taste left. Mushrooms!! Eeeuwwww. Spanish rice. Chop suey. Almost anything oriental or Mexican. Can't tolerate the spices. No sheep meat. No oysters, mussels, or anything slimy from the sea.

    I could write a blog on what I don't eat.

    There is an unimaginably foul delicacy called Surströmming that I encountered once in my life, about 30 years ago. I would endeavor not to be in the same city if I heard there was a can of it nearby.

    The extremely concentrated, fermented über-oceanfish stench cleared out an entire apartment (which was filled with people gathered to witness the opening of the accordion-pleated can of the putrid stuff even hungry dogs won't go near) in waves, as the rotten smell reached more distant rings of spectators. (Graham's Law of Effusion in vivo....)

    But that's not the one.

    I'd try that in a heartbeat before I'd eat a bag of those vile,
    intestine-purging, glucose-spiking Olestra-laden WOW! chips. Bleccch!
