Mine are brussels sprouts, beets, anchovies and livers
There are a lot of vegetables people don’t like because they are often prepared poorly. Brocolli, brussel sprouts, etc - seasoned and roasted, they’re great. Boiled to mush, not so much.
Brussels sprouts have also been bred over the last couple decades to be much less bitter and have generally a better flavour than what we’d have had as kids.
You’re right, they’re much more palatable these days. But even decades ago, roasting them with a liberal amount of salt, and maybe a bit of lemon juice on top, they were still decent. Boiled to mush with a single-digit number of grains of salt tastes bad regardless of the decade.
My theory is that back when most people smoked regularly, adults couldn’t taste anything and were generally not great in the kitchen because of it.
Boiled to mush broccoli and brussel sprouts are kinda nice though…
Umm, how do most people feel about sauerkraut? It goes well with mashed potatoes and pork, or on a hotdog.
I recommend trying kimchi hotdogs
Sauerkraut and kimchi are so delicious! Fermented cabbage is so much better than it should be.
It’s really good as an ingredient in chicken soup.
Fucking dope! Ugh, it is a top tier hot dog topping with spicy mustard.
Love it. Goes great with sausage (not sweet Italian sausage; the sweet flavor isn’t complementary).
I love fermented stuff, so real sauerkraut is on the menu for me, but I’d always choose kimchi if given the option.
I hate sauerkraut. But kimchi is awesome
I hate it but I know that it’s good for me, so down the hatch.
black liquorice
black licorice jelly beeeeeans 🤤
The only true licorice.
I’ve had people tell me “you don’t really like them you just want to be weird”
How is this different from those shrimp chips?
No idea what are shrimp chips?
I don’t see crab in the ingredients… So they aren’t actually crab flavored, right? They are just seasoned with Chesapeake bay seasoning?
Exactly no crab just the old bay seasoning.
FWIW, you can find old bay seasoned peanuts too. I wasn’t expecting to, but I liked these best of all the flavored peanuts I tried.
Durian. I don’t even think it smells bad. Smells okay and tastes good to me
came here expecting to see this at the top.
Durian is alright
A lot of folks are saying brussel sprouts… interestingly:
the flavour has changed…Black licorice.
There is such a variety of black licorice though. Some I love and some I hate. Like Icelandic licorice I love, but the one with the brown powder (Finnish?) I hate.
A lot of people seem to balk at canned sardines. Maybe it’s the crunch of biting into the spine that puts people off…
I vividly remember my horror when first totally unexpectedly encountering anchovis.
Ordered a pizza during a school trip to Norther Italy.
Read the “anchovis” on the description, but confused it with “artichoke”, which I like.Instantly spit out the fish part, dissected the pizza and confronted the waiter with the fact that there were “dead fish complete with bones” on my pizza.
I guess this is one of the stories the waiter still tells, when asked about the most crazy customers… ;-)
I find canned sardines kind of mushy and pasty, at least the ones I’ve tried. Freshly baked or fried sardines though? Amazing and crunchy.

Mushrooms and anchovies. Pickles. Olives. Give give
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.
Oooooooooooo
Black licorice. I don’t understand why it’s an uncommonly liked taste, it’s just a delicious “rooty spice” taste like root beer.
It was one of the most famous candy in the 19th century and made a german company grow into one of the biggest candy manufacturers in europe (haribo). I don’t think it’s uncommon to like it but that it’s rather a generational difference since we now have a bigger variety in sweets you can learn to (dis)like.
Pineapple pizza
Fruit on pizza.
Most pizzas have tomato on?
Not peppers (green/red bell, jalapeño or shishito) or olives? Mushrooms? (Mushroom caps and stems are the fruiting body of a fungus)
Have you ever tried jam or marmalade on pizza? Hear me out, it’s actually really good.
Yes! Jalapeno popper pizza. Use a garlic cream cheese base, and after it’s baked you top it with grape jelly, which was the condiment that used to be served when jalapeno poppers became a thing.
As an American not many people I’ve come across like Icelandic licorice like Opal but I love the stuff. If I go back I’m stuffing my suitcase to the fills with it. Costs way too much to get it shipped here.
If that’s that salted stuff, that’s vile. After comments like this here, I tried it from ikea, and it’s vile. I’m the only one who forced my way through an entire piece but my kids spit it out and my ex refused to try it
It’s chewy like a gummy. I’m pretty sure it’s different from the Ikea stuff but I’ve never tried it.

I don’t know if this one counts. Aside from what those who have it taste like soap, isn’t this one very commonly liked?
I love anchovies on pizza. I should do an anchovy, onion, and mushroom pizza…
Do it! That is how I used to get leftovers when I made pizza - anchovy, onion, garlic, and hot peppers. One pizza nobody else would touch so that I could secure lunch for me.
Leftovers? Fr though my pizzas are of a size where everyone gets their own. And I make the dough in batches enough to do that. My most recent was mushroom and onion with fresh basil. And the dough is always from scratch
Yes! This is my favey fave! Unfortunately I only get it every once in a while though because my husband SWEARS he can still taste the anchovies even if we only get it half and half.
But, a good compromise is everything else and I order the anchovies on the side so I still throw them on each slice for optimal anchovy to cheese ratio.
