I don't remember if I mentioned avacado??? Textures are a thing for me. I can't swallow avacado, or lumpy mashed potatoes, don't like squash, won't eat much in the seafood category either. We go to NOLA and Tony will get gobs of seafood while I get red beans and rice or catfish.
Wow. I guess I'm more of an omnivore than I thought.
I like mushrooms and avocados. So much that I planted a number of avocados in my yard. I don't grow mushrooms for consumption, of course, but one of my favorite dishes to make is semi-chinese style Mushroom Chicken (from a Joyce Chen cookbook), with fresh, not canned, mushrooms. Canned mushrooms are OK for pasta dishes and soups. Squash and seafood (most of it) is fine too, especially mexican gray zucchini in a stir fry.
As for mushrooms, I guess they grow in compost, but proper compost is sweet smelling, clean, and not shit. Also commercial mushroom operations are carefully controlled, to keep wild spores out.
But I don't look down on those with food dislikes. It's a natural instinct, and I figure if one is starving, the survival instinct will overrule the food avoidance instinct.
I suspect a lot of food hating is psychological, but again to each his own.

Anything which smells very
"fishy". Fresh quality seafood should not. The ocean stinks like fish from anything decaying in it. Fresh clams, crab, most fish, lobster and other crustations, molusks, oysters, scallops, or shrimp do not.

I will never put those up to my mouth ever again!
These pinwheels, we used to occasionally get in the break room:
I don’t miss them after I threw a number of them away after they hadn’t been kept in the refrigerator and the package hadn’t even been open, some when they were rotted and others when I knew if they sat out any longer were also going to spoil…

What’s a gallon of water that’s mostly all-liquid that’s going to take the rest of the year to eat and of which the matzoh balls are nearly eaten up in it that I had to substitute boiled spaghetti and made it hotter than hell?
Yes my daughter made this soup using ten cups of water, of which luckily I have a cold but have to wait for now to cool off…

Coleslaw
I don't like coleslaw. It's not as good as a real salad as far as taste. I like a nice salad with Italian dressing, or balsamic vinaigrette.

mayonnaise
I'm with iheartmaytag. I can't stand mayonnaise anymore. I used to like it when I was a kid, but not anymore. The taste is BORING! Give me some hot sauce any day of the week!

Well, it’s Tony’s Night! The folks who make Red Baron and claim it’s better than Jack’s and I know when I compare those box-less pizzas (merely just wrapped in plastic with it even without a cardboard bottom) like Tombstone or a store’s private label or some generic brand to Jack’s that Jack's is still good…
So I felt hesitant about it, though what had me buy it was seeing tons of it unsold and this one being a Supreme with all the toppings just for the disappointing smell of “I won’t like this!” to come out of the open, still frozen package…
Anyway my wife wanted pizza and with the freezer full of ones clearly much more desirable that I’d like and would want to wait til I’m in the mood for and more hungry, just made this one…
Even with any hankering for, just half-heartedly forced down my one piece which at best was okay, while my wife ate what was another… Then in the fridge the rest put away of what would be two more…
Of which this morning were reheated and finally finished eaten by my wife though only as rule it’s usually no pork or vegetable toppings, just plain cheese…
At least there’s a fun activities thing on the back I did…

My buddy Sam worked at the Sabatasso division of Schwan Foods in Florence,KY for two or three years back in the late 90's. They made Tony's, Red Baron, Little Charlie's, and Freshcetta pizzas. Seems like I had pizza about everytime I was over at their house during that time.

How about Head Cheese? When I was a child, things like this were served, and also fatty meats. To this day things like that gross me out.
I also don’t like Chicken Wings. The bones & skin get to me.
However, I do okay with many fish, and pretty much all vegetables.

Well head cheese I'd never tried to this day...
When I first saw it my mom warned me I wouldn't like it, so I'd taken her word but I guess if I see any maybe I'll resolve my still curious about...

As for chicken wings, you need an awful lot of them to be full...
I don't know what the thing is with the cut celery accompanying buffalo wings, usually that doesn't get eaten...
We actually bought a whole chicken that I thought was a tenderloin, so naturally because of all the bones even for its huge size it had to be given to my dad to feed his cats, mostly the alley cats/strays...

I make a Polish version of head cheese, kholodets. It's an aspic made with pig hocks and various vegetables. Little bit of work so I don't make it often.

I despise mushrooms, especially raw ones used in salads. Their earthy taste is just not for me. A couple of exceptions are mushrooms sauteed in wine and butter for a steak topping, or on pizza.
Any kind of cheese that stinks, like Brie, Camembert, Feta, Gorgonzola, Goat Cheese, Roquefort, but on occasion I do like Blue Cheese salad dressing.
If I can’t get it past my nose, I can’t eat it! My husband David is even more particular than I, he hates all of the above cheeses, but he won’t eat Parmesan cheese either, says it tastes like vomit, and he’s Italian! I like Parmesan very much myself. Sometimes I’ll try to sneak it into Meatballs, and he can always tell!

Disappointing school lunches
From 1st to 6th grade, my elementary school lunch on Monday was the same thing, hotdogs with sauerkraut and green gelatin for dessert. For the hours leading up to lunch, a smell usually from the lavatory was wafting up the hallways and into the classrooms. I hate sauerkraut. And green lime-flavored gelatin is also terrible.
I'm also not a fan of egg salad sandwiches for the same reason, it smells like caca. I don't like food that smells like crap.

I'm not sure where folks dislike for a food comes from, my hunch is much of it's psychological, a portion may be genetic. Growing up my brother and I were exposed to a vast array of food, and were encouraged to try everything. At almost 70 I can't think of any food I truly dislike, there are recipes I dislike though.
Plus, as we age things change. For me, cilantro always tasted off and soapy, yet recently when I had some it did not. So I would encourage people to keep sampling food, your tastes may change over time.

For me, there are very few foods that I despise.
Tripe is up there, along with any other "organ-esque" meat (tongue, liver/liverwurst, sweetbreads, et al). I also loathe avocado with the fire of a thousand suns (texture), bananas (both regular and Plantains), bologna, and meatloaf*.
(*-save for Mrs. Volvoman's meatloaf. I'm convinced that it is made with gold shavings, fairy dust, and the tears of a thousand unicorns. She'll disagree, and simply state that it's "made with love"...which is certainly better than sorrow and indifference.)
