What popular, loved food do you not like (and are made fun of for it?)
I detest hamburgers, hot dogs and sandwiches (except ice cream). I refuse to eat them and am frequently laughed at and mocked. There's just something about the bread/meat combination that gags me. Oddly enough, I love pizza. I also hate ketchup, mustard, relish, mayonnaise, etc. etc. and won't go near them, as well as salad dressing of all kinds.

1. Tomatoes
Maybe, they are not that popular but a few carry out people have given me a hard time for not wanting them on my sandwich.

7. No coffee?
Christ, I can't even begin to imagine what I'd do without it. That shit is as addictive as crack? Don't believe me? Hide the coffee pot at work and watch the revolt unfold. ;)

18. I don't even like the smell of coffee.
Some non-coffee-drinkers at least like the smell, but it's all I can do to walk past a Starbucks without wanting to hurl.

5. Mexican food
I can tolerate it just fine, but if I have my choice of restaurants, I NEVER choose Mexican. It's LOW on my list of preferences. Unfortunately, the only people we ever go out with LOVE Mexican food.

I love the popularly unlike food, Tofu.

And they ask me " How can you eat that wood".

13. Seafood
I had a few bad experiences with seafood when I was younger so I don't like it. Everyone else seems to drool over shrimp, lobster, and crab legs, but I can't stand them.

25. Same here
I detest almost all forms of seafood, particularly lobster... yet I love shrimp! Can't get enough! People have told me my whole life "Oh, you haven't had it prepared properly... here, try some ______ in _______ sauce," or some other such nonsense. No, asshole, I've tried it ALL... I DON'T LIKE IT.

23. Don't like beer
It tastes like dishwater (which I inadvertantly tasted once when I was young). I also don't like the taste of other liquor. When I realized how fattening booze was, I decided not to drink. This excuse always amazes people, who seem to think my reason for not drinking is a moral/religious one.

Doesn't matter what flavor...BBQ, Sour cream, whatever. I can't stand 'em. I love regular non-flavored potato chips though.

35. Bacon
The sight of that meat - with alternating strips of fat and muscle - repulses me. At a hotel buffet one morning, I lifted the lid on a platter to reveal a pile of bacon that appeared to have been boiled instead of fried - bloated, lily-white fat. When the steam hit my nostrils, I gagged and nearly vomited on the spot. My fellow conference-goers wouldn't let me live that one down for a long time.

37. Grotesque
I don't eat pork anyway since I converted to Islam, but I did like bacon before that. Not boiled, though! I'm sure we encountered boiled bacon on the breakfast buffet while we were vacationing in Britain, and I shudder to think of it!

36. Cow tongue and tripe
These ARE eaten here in Brazil. A friend of mine thinks I'm a sissy for that, and one time I had lunch at his house he instructed the cook to make tongue and say it was plain meat. Didn't work because I'm NOT a sissy -- the texture and taste of the thing IS icky.

However, I rarely eat fruit. Don't like the stickies. Now, vegetables, I'll eat 'em all.
