I really want to like olives, but I just can't. I try them every now and then to check, but it's not happening. They just taste really unpleasant to me.

Sat here feeling really sorry for some of the people who can’t enjoy a good steak…
Apart from y'know; folks like yourself who can't stand some foods. That's some pretty broad blind-spot you've got going there.
*****n brioche buns for burgers, one place did it, now every one blinkin does it. It basically meat in cake… usually done by same placed that think i want fries in a little basket..
Totally agree , and what makes it worse is that some places only stock them , no proper buns in sight
I think I've suffered a form of Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to brioche buns. I do love a fancy burger but it's hard to get them without a brioche bun these days so I've actually grown to like them. Same with red onion and salted caramel. Two invasive species that have taken over yet I've grown to like them too.
Football, team games. mayo (not Mayo), TV, dogs, Old Guys Rule (as above), Star Wars (never seen any), jeggings, keg beer, package holidays.
Mayonnaise
Salads
Balsamic vinegar
Meat with fruit
Any alcoholic drink
Cheese… Physically makes me sick… ANY of it… To the point where I consider myself to be allergic to it, because it isn’t a voluntary “dislike” of it, it physically repulses me to the point of being ill…
...
This of course, ironically, is MUCH more of a problem liking Italian foods in general in the UK (where everyone assumes that all Italian foods are completely immersed in the Devil’s knob rot) than it is in local restaurants in Italy, where Cheese is considered to be an ingredient choice (even on a Pizza much to the chagrin of many of my friends!) rather than compulsory…
I'm with you here. I tell people I'm allergic, I'm probably not but every time I've tried it I've either thrown it straight back up again or wound up with a blinding headache. But if you think the UK is bad, avoid the US. Given the choice between guns and cheese they'd probably pick the cheese, it's snuck into everything and their food labelling is somewhat wanting compared with ours.
I was in a branch of an Italian-American restaurant chain one time (Fazoli's, I'm quite the fan). It's a bit like Subway in that you choose the elements on like a production line. I asked for "penne with tomato sauce, no cheese."(*) I walk down the line, pasta goes on the plate, sauce gets added, then they proceed to pick up this big flour duster affair and liberally douse it in parmesan. I said "uh, I asked for no cheese?" and got told "it's not cheese, it's 'shake.'"
(* - "Tomato. Tomato. Tom- oh ok, whatever, toe-MAY-doh." This actually happened.)
Christmas
Time off work, but rubbish weather. Relatives being forced upon you. Materialistic waste with presents, too much food and an expectation of merriment, all sprinkled with an undercurrent of religious silliness.
Meat with fruit
Oh, chip shop curry with raisins in. WTAF? Does anyone like this? Pineapple on pizza causes holy wars but put whole dehydrated grapes into a spicy sauce to go on your chips and no-one blinks.
(Aside: I went to a chippie at the weekend, he asked "do you want regular curry or Irish curry?" I asked what the difference was, and was deeply disappointed that he didn't reply "about 200 miles.")
Oasis
The Smiths
Haha, I feel like people should really like one or the other - not both.
Like you, I don't like either of them though - and I used to be a floppy-fringed indie kid as well.
Chocolate fountains. Specifically fruit dipped in chocolate is just wrong!
Oasis
The Smiths
What are these? new bands the kids are into or what?
The Smiths
The journey of following The Smiths together with the world's second-best known gladioli-botherer is well documented in Facebook's reaction emoji.
Point of order: That maybe something you don’t like, but I don’t think it qualifies as something you should like.
A good point, well presented.
What are these?
I believe they are popular beat combos, m'lud

No festive cheer here.
Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but... drum & bass.
I like most electronic music genres, I can see how inventive it is and I liked most of the music that led up to it.
But it just never clicked for me. Like those magic eye paintings.
So what is an Irish curry then?
WhatsApp.
Everyone expects you to use it these days. I get unlimited free SMS (that I only use around 4 off every month) plus there's FB Messenger. I don't need another app.
"Oh, I quit Messenger because I don't like Meta/Facebook/Zuckerberg"... that worked out well!

FB messenger is absolute dogshit compared to WhatsApp though.
Maybe, but it does all I need it to do.
So what is an Irish curry then?
I don't think he really knew. He said it was "smoother," presumably because what you really want is an option of lumpy curry sauce. I suspect it was hotter than the normal one, it tasted more like the sort of thing you'd get from a Chinese take-away.
Maybe, but it does all I need it to do.
WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted and doesn't - yet - involve a Facebook account tracking you halfway across the Internet. FB Messenger supports this also, but you have to actively enable 'secret messages' per-user which might require some explaining if your partner is a narcissist.
Plus "I don't have WhatsApp" is considerably less fannying to resolve than "I don't have Facebook Messenger."

Yup, unless you have kids, I can understand that, otherwise it's a load of bullucks.
Eggs,
Football (popular one here I see),
Avocado,
Vegans,
Dancing,
Musicals,
Friends (the popular comedy, not my very few actual friends).
Fellatio. So disappointing.
Some mouthwash afterwards might help you there.

That thread could take a turn for the worse very quickly 😁
The labour party?
*runs away*
I used to like sourdough. During the first lockdown I ventured, like so many, into bread making, and produced a daily loaf so someone suggested I try sourdough. I therefore googled a starter recipe and found, somewhat unsurprisingly, a guardian foodie who had decided, out of curiosity, to use her own yeast for the starter culture. So that’s a nope from me ……
(Most) Spirits.
Popular team sports as a spectator. I think they are fun to do (the ones I’ve tried) but the idea that we all need to get super worked up about “our” team playing, and winning and watching the, do it, has never been big for me.
Fellatio. So disappointing.
A young lady came up to me and asked what the Church's view on fellatio was....
(One for the Rowan Atkinson fans)
Whisky - I'd like to but I can't. TBH spirits in general but less fussed about the others.
Coffee - it'd be so much easier to drink it than not but it's horrid, I can just about cope with a flat white but really what's the point by then.
Salad dressing - no I don't want oily vinegar all over my salad thanks, just served me fresh salad with it's own flavour.
Coleslaw/Slaw - just **** off. Unfortunately you tend to get one or the other of that or salad dressing and quite often both.
Beetroot
Olives
Most things that pass for TV now
Beach/pool holidays

This is unrecognised genius, really I mean how could you not argue that of all the world's history it was all fine until the 18th C came along and spoilt it for everyone. I think we should ban it*
*although, it does provide my wife with a living, so there's that...
