Love: Cheeseburgers. I know they’re are widely loved, but the OP says “most people you know.” Most people I know are vegetarians, vegans, or reluctant or occasional meat eaters. No one in my circle shares the love
Hate: So many. Ketchup, olives, mayo are the top three.

Love: kiwi fruit skins.
Hate: bell peppers. (Yes, both red and green and any other damn colour. Yes, cooked or raw or any other damn way. The specific flavour that they bear is an odious and yucky one that I do not like, so stop trying to convince me, people of the world.)

Love: Soggy cereal. Every single cereal is improved massively by sogginess.
Hate: Oh, so many. Sushi, mayo, breakfast sausage, mushrooms come to mind immediately.

People look at me funny when I eat the kiwi, skin and all. I keep telling them _it has no taste or any real texture for the tongue_. Thus, removing it silly.
Love: Cilantro
Hate: Beets. Beets suck…and are evil!

Love: croutons – my version of potato chips and cookies

I love most of the vegetables people often say they hate the most: avocados, beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, collard greens, lima beans, parsnips, spinach, turnips.
I’m not big on beef steak though. And I really dislike it rare.

Howe could anybody actually work up hatred for a food. Unless maybe you are forced to eat it.
