Funny, nobody but my mother seems to be aware of that little factoid… 
I’m a fan of tamarind, although I have to admit that it can remind people of baby poop with its color and strangely shaped shell. Still, it’s pleasant and makes for a good “only slightly sweet” candy.
There are a lot of people who are horrified by sushi because “it’s different” from whatever they normally eat. I discovered from trying sushi that I like mackerel, eel, and octopus a lot more than I thought I would. I also like salmon roe in small amounts. I haven’t tried squid outside of a “calamari” type dish, but its chewiness may turn me away forever.
I like peas, broccoli, spinach (fresh only) and asparagus quite a bit. I even sort of like rutabagas, which smell godawful but are great in split pea soup. I generally like most of the shellfish that I’ve tried, but I’m still not sure whether I like oysters or not. They taste good, but the mouthfeel is really strange.
I like parsnips, but I don’t think people think they’re disgusting, but rather that they have no idea what they are.
I think you win, Skip.
I’ve had limburger, and while it’s not something I go out of my way to have, I didn’t hate it.
Likewise, most of the veggies mentioned here I actually like. (Collard greens are an exception. Though, to be fair, my experience is with the Navy’s version of that dish - and I know they can screw up most anything. But nothing I’ve heard about them makes me want to try non-Navy collard greens.)
I’m a sushi fan, but I never really thought of it as gross, just odd.
Steak tartare and other raw beef products are all yummy.
My father loves the green gland in lobster. He’ll get everyone’s when we have lobster. Of course, he and my grandfather used to share limburger when they got together.
I’ve also had frog legs. Not too bad. And really they do taste mostly like chicken.
Raw hamburger, rolled into a ball, sprinkled with onion powder.
Raw squid.
Raw tuna.
Raw pancake batter, drizzled over my slightly undercooked pancakes.
(weird that I was a vegetarian for 18 years)
Stinky cheeses (except Limburger, it’s been a while, maybe I’ll try it again)
Eel
This thread is making me hungry. Mmm…okra…brussell sprouts…sushi…greens…peas…gifelte fish…anchovies…My kinda buffet!
It sucks that the first/only time I’ve ever had gifelte fish was by the evil jewish mother of an exboyfriend who made it from scratch. I’ve been too afraid to try it anywhere/way else.
I don’t go in much for adventurous cuisine, but ever since I was a child, I’ve always loved Clamato. Tomato juice and clam juice, together at last! Seriously, this stuff is awesome, particularly in Bloody Marys.
Oddly enough, I don’t really like tomatos or clams individually.
My mom never made spinach when I was a kid, so I assumed I hated it. Since I started liking other greens as an adult, I tried some. YUCK! But it’s so healthy, I messed around with it and now I absolutely love spinach saturated with Italian dressing.
Pickled Herring (it is the Swede in me)
Chipped Beef on Toast (aka SOS). I learned to love this from Grandpa (US Army WWII through Vietnam)
Haggis. I will order Haggis every time I get to Scotland (which is only every few years, sadly).
When I roast a chicken, I love pulling out the offal (heart, gizzard and liver) and frying it up while prepping. My family would follow the smell, then find out WHAT I was frying, and turn in disgust. However, I have corrupted my son with first the heart, and now the gizzards. Soon he will love the liver as well and my domination of his taste buds will be complete [insert evil laughter].
I don’t eat octopus often, but my boyfriend’s parents LOVE it. And I like it in moderation. They once bought a trayful of the tentacles? I think? Fried up or something. Good, but they ate it like it was candy.
I am now in the mood for some tamarind candy.
Do you like kale, Batsy? I’ve had it fresh for two summers in a row and I think it’s wonderful. I think people overcook greens so much that everyone hates them. Swiss chard is particularly fabu, although a grocery bag full cooks down to a tablespoon in about a minute flat.
nashiitashii, swallow your oysters whole. Really. 
What was that Eskimo (Inuit?) dish that was making the headlines a while back? The 1,000 Year Old Egg reminded me of it. It was fish, maybe, that was on the verge of spoiling that people were getting ill from. Anyone remember?
I really want to try haggis.
My folks had a vegetable garden, so my first memory of peas is shucking the peas out of a big bowl of all the pods we just picked, and occasionally raking all the peas out of a pod straight into my mouth. Man, are they good fresh, super crisp and sugary sweet.
Barring that, I much prefer frozen to canned. Canning makes them mushy and sort of oily-tasting; the whole mouth feel is different, not to mention the flavor. Unfortunately, my wife’s mother knows I like peas and prepares them often just for me, but she only gets the canned variety. I bravely eat them, but they’re just not proper.

Clamato, olive juice and BACON SALT in my Bloody Mary.
Vodka and Diet Root Beer.
Anchovies, well drained and patted dry, right out of the can.
Salsa, instead of dressing, on my salad.
The same Thanksgiving dinner the day after…cold.
Oatmeal with jalapenos and/or melted Laughing Cow Cheese.

Jalapenos and wasabi paste on all sandwiches.

Uncooked oats with milk and sugar.

Canteloupe sprinkled with BACON SALT.
Frozen chocolate-covered bananas.
Anchovy-stuffed olives.
Also, my Dad loves to eat salmon skin.
Ewww.
In Hong Kong I had a bowl of soup with an incredible variety of cow parts in it. It was awesome.
Oh, god. I don’t think circus peanuts have an iota of “real” food in them! You’re basically eating cardboard!
I like eggplant. I like it pretty much every way I have tried it, including just roasted in the oven with little or no sauce. Some people complain that eggplant is bitter- I’ve never salted eggplant before cooking it (this is often recommended to reduce bitterness), and I’ve never ended up with a bitter eggplant. Is the bitterness something that only some people can taste, or have I just gotten lucky?
I hated kale when I was a teenager and my mom made it. Now, I like it. I know we’re cooking it differently than she did- I suspect we’re not overcooking it as much. (We also aren’t as averse to spice as she is)
Where did previous generations get the idea that they should cook vegetables for so long? Especially members of the cabbage family- they turn so nasty when they’re overcooked. Overcooking vegetables doesn’t do much good for their nutritional value, either. So why did they do it?
Yes! I was introduced to it during the spinach scare, when our grocery store pulled all the fresh spinach. Kale is great in a tortilla (the Spanish kind) with potatoes.
Are you referring to fermented fish?
Sounds revolting but I’d try it. That Andrew Zimmern guy from that show Bizarre Foods tried it and I believe he liked it.
