I like spicy, but can't stand cheetos, and the flaming hot ones seem extra unpleasant. (Part of this is just an aesthetic reaction to the color and the way they stain one's hands--it bugged me even as a kid when I would eat them sometimes.)0 -
I am not a fan of pizza at all. Even a vegan gluten free version ( lol) the only kind I would eat is a thin crust white pizza with spinach, mushroom, black olives and sun fried tomato. I do not like sauce on my pizza
I do like regular pizza - but that one you describe sounds amazing - four best toppings for sure.
Spinach, mushroom, and black olives are the three best toppings for sure. For my fourth I'd take non dried tomatoes or green pepper over sun dried tomatoes, but those are good too.
I like pizza with sauce, but that white one does sound tasty.1 -

I eat spinach in/on everything. Sometimes I eat it all three meals in a day. But on pizza roasted red peppers is also good.1 -

I guess I don't really like peppers on pizza either0 -
Runny eggs are gross. The only liquid part of my eggs should be the melted butter and hot sauce.3

I like sunny side up eggs with toast... but super runny eggs are kinda off putting. I do like jammy eggs though2 -

what I HATE is runny egg WHITES.4 -
I love runny yolk if there's something to sop it up. I don't like fried eggs if the yolk is entirely set. Runny whites is disgusting, though.4

My favs not usual are - spinach prepared with peanut butter, not the sweet butter though, the one neutral
then it would be spaghetti al nero di seppia about which everybody complains how they looks but as taste and texture imo they are the best, feta with beetroot salad , it's very good too
From hating point of view I hate what everybody loves - like avocados , my husband eats 2 per day , but me - , like mussels - not because i do not like them but it's too much shell to throw away
They will always say to me - You don't know what is good0 -
You know, I've been doing really well here even though I'm new and not getting too many "disagrees," but it might change with this post! :P Ah well, here goes my unpopular opinion about food:
I think when people dislike a food, it's most likely because it's new and they haven't given it a fair shake (the advice when you have picky kids is at least 10-15 exposures), or they haven't had it prepared well by someone who knows what they're doing.
Practically speaking, of course I don't think people should force themselves to eat things they don't want to. But I have a bunch of family members who won't eat anything that isn't brown, and if we go out to eat, or they look at my meal planning calendar, they'll label the food I eat disgusting (and I'm not talking about unusual flavor combinations or very different ethnic cuisines, weird animal parts, etc.) The food is not disgusting. They're just picky, and I wish they would own it (or at least not comment!)
I realize I'm throwing this onto a message board where people have been saying certain foods are disgusting over and over, so, maybe I'm just reckless and dumb. That's OK. I do know most of the time we're just saying we don't like it. Maybe I'm just too sensitive after having my plate analyzed endlessly by very picky people!8 -

I love spaghetti al nero di seppia and beets with feta, and wouldn't necessarily consider them unpopular. Your good taste has caused me to be interested in the spinach with peanut butter which I admit doesn't sound immediately good to me (I don't use sweet peanut butter, so that's not the issue). I do like peanut stew w/ peanut butter and although not traditional think it's good with collards, so might like this.
I admit to loving avocados, though.3 -

I think disagrees are desireable in this thread; it means you've hit upon something truly unpopular!I think when people dislike a food, it's most likely because it's new and they haven't given it a fair shake (the advice when you have picky kids is at least 10-15 exposures), or they haven't had it prepared well by someone who knows what they're doing.
Often, but not always. I like most foods (and can't think of any veg I don't like, and so far as that goes I also like organ meats in many contexts and love trying new cuisines and am lucky enough to live in a city with many such options), but there are definitely some things I cannot stand. A weird one is grapefruit, which most seem to love. I wanted to love it as a kid and hated it, and periodically try it and dislike it still. Another is caraway seeds. Still another is canned tuna, especially but not only with mayo (but I love grilled tuna and tuna sashimi and almost all fish -- I think I dislike catfish, but that could be one I haven't had prepared in a way I'd like it).
I would differentiate between having some foods one does not like (which is common enough) and being ridiculously picky (which for some people is because of sensory issues but for others is just being unwilling to try stuff or stuck on what they liked and didn't as a kid or having only had things prepared poorly, sure). I can't deal well with pickiness so tend to stay out of threads where that is the issue.
I also think that this thread lends itself to more extreme pronouncements as it's part of the fun.6 -

Good point!

This makes a lot of sense to me. I think sensory issues in my family probably play a huge role with how I look at pickiness generally. I don't think I've seen many threads on it; I should probably avoid those for my own good. When I left home it was like a whole new world opened up. I discovered a lot of things and it was great! Which is part of how I gained weight to begin with, but also how I'm losing it!
I do have some things I don't like, but I just figure it's me. If millions of people like it and have eaten it for centuries (or decades, though I'll admit to being suspicious of some new things), it's probably not objectively bad in terms of flavor. Just unfamiliar.1 -
Lemurcat2,
try to prepare it , put from the start so that it will steam together and tell me the final result. Here we have 3 or 4 sort of peanut butter with or without sugar, i use that one without sugar just cashews basically
