What food do you really want to like but just don’t?

Friend bought me some vegan mince pies (I have a dairy/egg allergy) because I was moaning about the lack of Xmas sweets available for vegans or people with allergies. Very sweet of her to think of me, except I just can’t stand the taste of them. Every year I see them, think they look so good and try one and every year they are just as rank as the last Xmas Sad
Another example for me is grapefruit, my DH makes this citrus fruit salad with oranges, grapefruits, lemons and limes he has it with Greek yogurt and honey, he even adapts it to the seasons and adds toasted nuts and cinnamon in winter. Ohhh god it looks unbelievable and the grapefuit colour just makes the dish but I actually cannot stand the taste of it...
So what food do you really wish you liked but just don’t??

Oh just thought of another one. Gin. Smells like perfume. It comes in all different flavours. Still no. Grin

Cooked figs (especially if there is brown sugar involved in a kind of syrupy affair). I love them raw and would like to be able to eat them in all guises.

Cream especially whipped cream - hate the smell and taste and feel but it seems so fun !?

Any kind of sweet which is not lime or black currant (Both of which I love). Tiresome avoiding the orange and yellow and red in eg fruit gums but I really loathe them.

Porridge
jelly
Hot chocolate

I’d love to like them all but alas they are all disgusting :(

Smoked salmon - I feel I should love it but I can't. I actually vomited it up the last time u ate it.

I kept bookmarking this to chip in and say that I often worried that I was a bit fussy - but so many people hate the same things as me, I can't be that bad?

Any blue cheese
Goats cheese
Wensleydale, such a horrible chalky texture.
Salmon and all shellfish - can eat fishcakes made with white fish but otherwise nope.
Tofu
EGGS aaargh the staple food in so many diets and I'm overweight but eww. Had a stomach bug (which re-emerges occasionally) which included sulphurous burps, and now an eggy taste just turns me over.
Olives
Soup
