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

    I really like the taste of cough medicine and pretty much any digestif/amaro/bitters you put in front of me.

    I could sip Malort neat and be happy as a clam, but on the rocks dilutes the sweetness a bit.

      If you like anchovies, try Colatura di Alici if you can get hold of it. It’s a direct descendant of Roman garum and is like a magic button for improving a lot of dishes.

    Bagels and lox. Sushi has seemed to steadily grown in popularity here in the states but there’s still plenty of aversion to raw (or cured, brined/smoked) fish. Also capers are like angry little olives on steroids. Definitely not for everyone. I haven’t had any since the only bagel shop around, an Einstein Bros, closed some years ago.

    I loved greens as a kid and still do. Stewed spinach, Brussels, broccoli, etc. Seems like it’s usually a visual and/or texture aversion for the folks that don’t like stewed greens (spinach, collared, kale). Does kinda look like a chunk of dark, wet grass left behind a lawnmower.

    Dutch licorice. I haven’t been brave enough to try Swedish Bastards but I have to make a conscious effort not to eat a whole bag of Gustaf’s dubbelzout coins. I told the person that introduced me to them that they taste the way a litterbox smells… then they grew on me and I kept eating them.

    Fresh hot mustard. A local Chinese restaurant makes theirs fresh and it’s damned potent. It honestly reminds me of nail polish remover. I haven’t found anything that’ll clear my sinuses the way it can.

        I guess, in a culinary sense, it’s not “raw.” In my head it’s still hard to see it as “cooked” since it’s chemical cooking rather than heat. Same reason I’m inclined to still call ceviche “raw” even when I know the acidic juices are doing whatever with the proteins and the end result is very different from truly raw fish.

      I was a preteen when that came out. Me and my friends shared a bottle and made faces and gagged for yucks, but I honestly just remember it tasting like a thinner, less carbonated Pepsi. Not bad, but not really better.

      If I drank it today I might have enjoyed having a less syrupy non diet cola.

      I drank Pepsi Blue nearly every work day the year it came out, but I also had frosted spiked hair and wore silky shirts with flames on them, so I suspect my tastes have shifted somewhat.

    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.
