Is there a food you just cannot eat either because of health or an intense dislike of it?
As kids, most start out drinking cordials, fruit juices and fizzy drinks for a treat. I know this isn't all kids, but I think it is probably a big percentage of us as youngsters. Most of us are brought up with a strong neutral pathway to sweeter tasting substances, and we don't tend to crave harsh and bitter tastes. But as we get on a bit our taste changes.
My mother told me about how her gran used to give her a wee drop of Guinness as a baby to soothe her. I remember trying a little sip myself as a kid and it felt like I had stuck my tongue on a battery (another kid got me to do this at eleven 🙄) so beer has never been a favourite of mine. Or: Sushi, black pudding, liver or any kind of offal, coleslaw.

The yellow curved fruit. I have a phobia of it. Can't even be in the same room as one, or see a drawing of one on the telly, without getting anxiety. I even failed law school because one of my classmates ate it every day. My anxiety just couldn't handle it.
@TheRealBarbossa When I went to public school, a girl in my class would eat a banana outside during recess time, except she would peel the banana and throw the banana part away, to then eat the yellow banana peel instead.
