That you feel you should like, but don't?

I can't get onboard with peanut butter. I've tried to enjoy it but it's way too claggy and the flavour is too strong.

About once a year I tell myself I should like olives, they can't be as bad as I remember.

And about once a year I immediately retch that slimy salty death ball right out and into the bin.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

I don't understand the fascination with them. I wish my palate was more accommodating and I would drink copious amounts just to fit in.

Olives for me. They always look sophisticated and kind of cool. I always regret them and then have to politely smile through my urge to vomit.

Aiyee.

I conceptually understand why people like it. I understand why it goes with certain foods.

But it's been established that some of us can't eat it. (Well. I can. It just tastes like hand soap to people like me. I am physiologically capable of eating it, it's not like an allergy, but it kind of ruins my food. Even stuff that's supposed to have it. Please. Put it to one side so I can leave it there)

Le Big Mac.

For some reason I cannot fathom, every now and then I think I want a Big Mac. I don't like them. I never finish eating it. I always wonder why I just bought it and what I thought would be different this time. I drive home feeling dirty and somehow used. I'm not loving it, but I keep coming back for more. What a clown.
