I don't eat tripe, chicken feet, organ meats or filter feeding bivalve mollucks. They all disgust me. In addition, I have some kind of weird allergy to legumes. I can't digest them properly and they give me hives. Just the smell of baked beans or chili makes me gag.

Me and eggs don't like each other neither. Its not that I don't like them but I CAN'T STAND the sight of them. If I crack one open and see that little white grossness inside I have to gag.

I really can't think of one. I think I like everything, which can be good or bad. I can remember a dislike of cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes as a child, but I'm fine with both now.

You like everything huh? Have you tried gnawing on this??

Organ meats of any kind...ewwww! I eat only muscle meats.
Yellow squashes...disgusting smell, although I can do pumpkin if a sufficient amount of spices have been added to disguise that squashy smell.
Cooked greens...slimy, nasty stuff. I'll eat it raw in a salad, but slimy stuff doesn't do it for me.
Soft custards...the texture gets me...it's that slimy thing again. Firm custards, like American-style pudding, is fine, but soft, squishy custards disgust me.
"Wet bread." When I was a kid my mother used to tear up pieces of soft white bread...think Wonderbread, not one of those robust breads, and put gravy over it and expect me to eat it. Slimy, sloppy stuff covered with a greasy milk-based pan gravy...enough to gag a maggot.
I'm not a fan of gravies or fish, but they are not necessarily disgusting, I just don't like them. But organ meats, yellow squashes, and slimy stuff like cooked spinach or soft custards...now that's disgusting! -

The worst food, in my experience, has less to do with the raw materials, but how they're prepared. I hate "industrial" food, food that is mass produced, or overcooked (like say, in a cafeteria or canteen). Care and attention can produce a great meal, even with the humblest ingredients. Lack of care and attention produces garbage.

I introduced all my friends to jajang myun (black bean rice noodles) and they all loved it! They were initially weirded out by the color, but after I explained that the color is from black beans, they totally got over it. And technically, it's not Korean. Jajang is Mongolian Chinese.
Korean BBQ and savory onion pancakes are awesome! Of course, I love pretty much all Korean food and when I take my friends for it, I always make sure they get to try the best stuff. -
I actually really like dried squid, there are so many different types. There are flat, translucent paper thin dried filets which were my favorite. There are jerky type whole squid with the tentacles still attached (not too fond of those). When I was a kid, my grandmother would roast the filet type over an open flame and cut it up into strips. I loved the smoky, salty sweetness. She would also get the dried, shredded squid and stir fry it with hot sauce and honey. That was fantastic.

In science class we had a pigeon, one day the bird was gone. Every friday we had to try an undisclosed food. Like chocolate covered bees and sharks tail soup. This week was a meat actually it didn't taste bad but when we found out it was our pigeon, we thought it was disgusting. Sometimes its the thought, look or smell and not actually the taste that makes it disgusting.

I saw this National geographic special of people eating goat/sheep fetus.
I wouldn't say it's 'disgusting' cuz it's one culture's food practices. For me to impose my own food 'values' on them by calling their food choice disgusting would amount to some form of cultural imperialism, chauvinism, and bolsters racism.
I say live and let live. -

While living and working in Macedonia, I was offered a "delicacy" - calf's brains. I couldn't refuse ... seriously, I couldn't!
Think of licking a copper penny for 24 hours. That metallic taste? That's what these tasted like. -
