Stinky Tofu anyone? Aka chòu dòufu? When I was young and in Hong Kong you could smell it several blocks away and basically follow the scent to find this glorious food.

And durian I suppose.

If I'll make it to the Philippines someday, maybe I'll have the courage to try it. Isn't even too far-fetched, I wanted to travel Asia anyway. And I believe you that it's tasty, but I've never even tried blood sausage and that is quite normal to eat in my own culture. :D
If I think about it it's strange that I have such problems eating certain animal/ meat products, even though I could eat pretty much anything that comes out of the ocean.

Oxtail.

Oxtail (occasionally spelled ox tail or ox-tail) is the culinary name for the tail of cattle. Formerly, it referred only to the tail of an ox or steer, a castrated male. An oxtail typically weighs 2 to 4 lbs. (1–1.8 kg) and is skinned and cut into short lengths for sale.

Oxtail is a bony, gelatin-rich meat, which is usually slow-cooked as a stew[1] or braised. It is a traditional stock base for a soup. Although traditional preparations often involve hours of slow cooking, modern methods usually take a shortcut by utilizing apressure cooker.

Jesus Christ no. Stinky tofu is vile. When I went to Taiwan I couldn't even get near the stalls that were selling it.

Tuna for me. Couldn't tell you how many times I got/made a sub/sandwich and people were disgusted. Not even using out there topics, either. I dont get the hate. It's great food.
There's also dark chocolate. But all other chocolate is too sweet for me now.
My own brother hates liver. I could east that stuff no problem.

Bonus:
What I really hate are kidney beans. Fuck that.

I always buy a pint of chocolate milk and a bag of pork rinds for every trip I make back to my hometown, since college. It's great road food but the combination usually grosses people out.

Still don't understand people who find tomatoes disgusting (I know a few, from different families). So much so that they can't even handle a slice in a burger.

Can't think of any that people find downright disgusting.

But sure, I know several people that don't like just basic fruits and veggies.

How can you hate onions, tomatoes, avacados?

Rice pudding with jam. It's what it sounds like, puffy soft rice in a creamy cream stuff with some strawberry jam on top.

For some weird reason my brother, sister, and partner all HATE rice pudding. I think it's the slimy/squishy texture?

But I love it! So creamy and sweet. It's one of my feelgood foods.

Mayo, Mayonnaise: somewhat repulsive smell, I never taste the "zing" its supposed to have

Hard-Boiled Eggs: The smell is repulsive, period. I have to leave the room.

Organ meats in general - particularly fried chicken livers and gizzards.

Also things like oxtail and tongue. Lots of really tasty animal parts are almost criminally overlooked by most people.

Pineapple on pizza(which I still don't get the disgust, as it's no different than any other normal topping one could put on pizza).

And slightly stranger, buttered popcorn on pizza. I came upon this by experimenting at a fair when I was younger when eating a slice of greasy pizza, I took a hand full of popcorn and smashed it into the top. So fuckin good(and unhealthy).

And normally(not sure it's considered disgusting), I love eating chicken gizzards and hearts(they usually sell the two together at markets). I know some people think those taste nasty. A lot of those little innard parts of animals(particularly chicken and fish) have a yummy taste. Marrow too!
