I never did like licorice as a kid, but fennel is high on my list of favorite herbs, as is anise.
Well, I like Pizza Hut and Olive Garden - if you look at online space, it seems like chain restaurants are reviled. But in the real world, I don’t think many actually find them disgusting, even if they don’t like them, so I’m don’t know that it qualifies as a ‘fes up.’
I too, like Pringles, Smarties, and American cheese (though I like other cheese, too). I used to eat turnkey sandwiches with mayo and ketchup - not really humongously different than mayo and cranberry sauce (both sweet), as someone once pointed out. I also like Twizzlers, and acknowledge they lack much taste and many may find eating them like eating wax.
How about Spaghetti casserole (cream of mushroom soup, tomato soup, onion, and water combined with browned ground beef, cooked pasta, and cheddar cheese, then baked)? Lot of people seem to find cream of mushroom soup-type casseroles gross these days.
Plain old common-as-dirt beer, the kind that is mass-marketed by huge breweries. Budweiser, Canadian, Blue, Old Style Pilsner … just plain, nothing-special beer. Great after a day at the office, on the golf course, or following a session of yardwork on a hot day.
Craft beers and ales are fine things and I do like them; and of course, English and Irish ales and beers are always called for when visiting a British-style pub. But sometimes a plain old beer is perfect for the occasion, and I’d rather have it than anything else.
This is one of my secret joys.
What flavor is that? Idunno, circus peanut
Oh yeah. It’s gonna be 100 degrees on Friday and I’m gonna be mowing the lawn. I do not want some nice dark amber. Ice cold Coors light to the rescue. I save the good stuff for a nice steak.
The smell thing:
Not sure what coal tar is. But I love the smell of fresh asphalt.
In my more traveling around days I’d chase the smell. If I knew a road was gonna be re-paved, I made a special trip.
It was kind of a minor addiction.
I have a special relationship with aromas.
That’s like my wife and horse barns. She used to ride a lot. Loves the smell, I think it’s fine. I love all animals. Tended to horses when I was a kid.
I get the black jelly beans all to myself at work. I love them. I also like circus peanuts. ESPECIALLY the real chemical-tasting “banana” flavored ones.
I also like the coal tar smell of asphalt and my sister’s psoriasis shampoo.
Smell triggers memories better than your other senses. - “This direct connection can trigger vivid and emotional memories, often from early childhood, as smells bypass the typical pathways other senses use”
I could swear I’ve seen them at Menard’s, of all places, or some similar big box hardware store. Anyway, they have a Facebook page, and they still seem to be hanging on by a thread:
I actually like pretty much anything, so I don’t think I can contribute anything that hasn’t already been mentioned. I like pretty much all the stuff. Oh, salty licorice maybe? Like the Scandinavian kind that people not from 'round those parts find absolutely disgusting? I also like jellied pig’s feet and aspics of all sort.
Smell is also a significant portion of what people consider taste. Many people can’t recognize certain food by taste if they can’t smell it.
I do.
I don’t like them still frozen, though, if that’s what you meant. I heat them up.
I like the smell of horses.
I also like the smell of manure from healthy cows or horses, if it’s not too strong. Much better IMO than car exhaust.
And did I miss something while skimming, or have we gotten up to 70+ posts and I’m the first one to say I like liver? Taste and smell both. Also broccoli, and brussels sprouts.
Stepping up to the plate.
I always liked to bite off the colored sections ( white, orange, yellow, from top to bottom ) one at a time, trying hard to discern any taste difference, and finding none, even though I knew it was just colored sugar with a waxy texture.
I like The Carpenters. Especially “Superstar.”
Foodwise, Cheez Doodles.
Another thing I like to eat is New Zealand Marmite. Even amongst other fans of yeast extract spreads (not a very large group of people) it’s low on the popularity list, but it’s the only kind I like. Though I did grow up with it, which helps accustom you to it.
I’ll go you one better: I like Little Caesar’s. It holds up better than most others for next morning / cold.
(The Ottlets are regularly appalled that I’ll eat most anything cold once it’s been cooked. Prit’ near the only exceptions are things that are extremely greasy.)
There are people who don’t? Wait, wait, don’t tell me! 
I sometimes did the Little Caesar’s lunch Detroit and I liked it pretty well, but never had it left over. I think most people like cold pizza, but I’ve never been a fan - I mean, I don’t hate it, but it does nothing for me, so I always reheat.
Mall “Chinese” food
Liver and Onions, with a bunch of Bacon. I don’t cook it and it’s damn hard to find. I also like old, kooky cars with manual transmissions. I recently got a Suzuki Samurai and it’s almost too much fun!
It’s also hard to pass up a deal. Kroger has coupons for Busch, Miller and Pabst. When it’s on sale (and it always is), after the coupon it comes to $13 for a 30-pack. Love me the fancy stuff, but keep a lot of cheap stuff around, too. And then there is the Homebrew…
