Was watching a music countdown the other day and one of the songs from dirty dancing came on, I casually mentioned to my mum how I like the song but dislike the movie.... my mum almost lost her shit....
Like it was a criminal offence to not like it.
Tell me something you dislike but everyone loves..
Can be anything 😊

Carrots. I can tolerate a couple of small, raw sticks but I hate cooked carrots. I’m an adult and I don’t have to eat carrots.

Fish/Seafood - the smell, raw or cooked, the taste, especially kippers, grey slimy almost translucent raw prawns (esp King Prawns), then they're all perky and pink when cooked, Prawn Marie Rose, boak, minging prawns swimming about & peering out at you from the bowl of pink soup and crunchy lettuce.

Dogs - slobbery, smelly, bum licking, jumping up, pawing, panting hounds of hell, people allowing dogs to lick their faces, boak, or letting them lick the dinner plates or the liquid out of cups, pass me a bucket!

Coffee, migraine inducing smell, especially stale coffee or coffee breath.

Celery - tastes of rank soap, and no, cutting it up and cooking it in soup/stews/any other dish DOES NOT MASK THE HONKING TASTE!!!

Other than that, not much really ......

Orange chocolate, worst of all... jaffa cakes.
And, weirdly, ALL 10 of my mum's grandchildren feel the same. Most people love them.

I remember that "oh no" feeling if we were visiting someone and they handed one of my toddler sons a jaffa cake. I knew I would be getting a regurgitated, half eaten one back, with a look of disgust/confusion from my kid.

I partly hate him because he should be paying for Ireland but I also really hate his smugness and 90s hair.
