RH | 4,898 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Cuttle Fish, I hear. My Dad use to work with a guy who was a Hawaiian Native (IIRC) and one day he brought back the stuff. It was weird and no one liked it... but my Dad. He'd always give the guy a wad of cash when he went home to to buy him packs of the stuff. It was seasoned in something, and I don't think it even had to be refrigerated. Root Beer Beer Spicy Food (People enjoy or love it, while others, complain if there's just a little bit of cinnamon in something!) Cilantro. Supposedly, there's a gene that some people have that makes it taste like soap. Yuck! I don't have it, so I love it. Seriously, cilantro tastes nothing like soap, so that's weird to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,898 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 There's also this. I'd say it's universally hated, but when I eventually got a chance to try, I... I actually enjoyed it, so that means that it fits this category. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Yes! Beverly! Disney world is the only place I know that has it available in the us. Did epcot as a kid and they had the coke sponsored ice station cool (loved that name) where you could try samples of different sodas from around the world. Alas the freebies are gone, they now serve it at the coke store at disney springs. I loved how bitter it was and unlike anything drinkable I had before. Just went and they had bottles for sale, as well as make alcoholic drinks with it. I had one of the cocktails, Beverlys revenge and it was amazing. Hendrix gin, solerno blood orange liqueur, beverly, garnished with mint. It was really really good and I'm not a cocktail person really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think the soda Moxie is one of these. I remember trying it because its one of the earliest sodas and god is it bad. Also I love candy corn, but candy pumpkins are better 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember trying it because its one of the earliest sodas and god is it bad. Moxie and malta (such as Malta Goya) are two of the most vile drinks ever made, but some people love them. Weirdly, I'm not a big fan of La Croix sparkling water, but I drink the Bubly and the Safeway house brand sparkling water like, well, water.

She likes candy corn but LOVES the pumpkins. She swears they are different but they taste the same to me. Another candy, Peeps. Again, I find them to be gross but my wife (surprise!) Love them. I think she has a think for bland, synthetic snacks. She also likes Circus Peanuts. Those might be a love or hate thing too, but I just assumed most people consider them tolerable and not worth the effort. That's not a hate, though.

Look, I'm fine with foods existing, and people enjoying diverse flavors. But those nasty things "sneak" in because 99% of the time you see pickles, they are dill. As a pickle enjoyer, there's nothing worse than expecting a sour dill pickle, to only get some mushy semi-sweet nastiness. Yuck!

spacepup | 2,404 Administrator · Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Blue Cheese. I personally can't stand it. And it's not a mental thing - I've tried it many times and I still find the taste very pungent and disgusting. I have friends who absolutely LOVE it. Must be one of those things. I feel sorry for the cilantro soap-folks - I LOVE cilantro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Cincinnati style chili seems to be pretty polarizing among people that aren't from here. Goetta would be another local food that people seem to love or hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it will taste good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't really tell the difference between flavors of pickles. The only thing I care about with pickles is that have to be the chip style not spears, because the spears have a mushy-er texture, chips are more snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The different colors are different flavors technically. which is why I don't like the candy corn with the brown/chocolate bit, yellow only. The pumpkins taste different mainly because they are pretty much all of the orange "flavor". If you took a bunch of the white bits from candy corn and ate them and compared that to the orange parts youll find the white has a stronger vanilla flavor to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think I’m the only person on the planet keeping the “Candy Circus Peanuts” business afloat. Ive never met anyone else that likes them...Same can almost be said for chocolate covered jelly rings, only my one Jewish friend in middle school liked them and a couple direct relatives. Pastrami seems polarizing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
