Anchovies Is the #1 Disliked Food in America

That's me, I don't know if I have the gene that makes it taste like soap, but it tastes gross to me (I haven't tasted soap so maybe it is the same flavor). I don't mind coriander seeds tho.

I've tasted a bar of soap a number of times (for saying a bad word or two). Palmolive and Lux come close to the taste of cilantro, imo.

Cilantro gives me a stomach ache, whereas soap never did.

My grandmother told me burnt toast makes me sing good. I was thirty before I wised up to her tricks.

About stinky cheese, did you may know that a French cheese from Burgundy, known as "Epoisse de Bourgogne," is so smelly that it's banned on French public transport?

Limburger, a cheese from Germany, is known to have a smell similar to sweaty feet. And Stinky Bishop, a UK cheese, is washed in fermented pear juice. It's so strong that in the Wallace & Gromit film, "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," it's smell brought Wallace back from the dead.

Mmmmmm, love those sardines, too.

Eating sardines reminds me of my beloved Grandpa. He and I used to sit and share a can of sardines, eaten on soda crackers. Anything to makes me remember Grandpa is A-OK with me.

We also ate "blind robins", which were very salty smoked herrings that came in a plastic sleeve. They came complete with tail, fins, eyes, the whole thing, all of which were eaten.

The only thing I refused to eat with him were pickled pigs' feet. He always had a jar of them in the refrigerator and I didn't even want to look at them. If I got something out of the fridge, I just closed my eyes and groped for it.
 
I love anchovies! And I hate corn and cod! How can anyone dislike corn, you ask? Well, there's a story behind it.

Right after WWII, the Marshall Plan made sure we German civilians wouldn't starve so they sent cornmeal and dried salt cod to keep us alive. The gesture is now greatly appreciated by me, but our mothers had no clue what to do with either!

I got so sick of corn gruel, corn bread, corn cake, corn everything that I hate the taste to this day.

The same thing happened with the salt cod! No one had ever seen dried, salted fish in Southern Germany and most were stumped as to how to prepare it. I still remember the salt in my mouth and the overwhelming taste of rancid cod. I love all fish but steer clear of Cod to this day!
 
@Old Salt, my father felt similarly about spam. He was in the US Army during WWII and spam was the centerpiece of a lot of meals. When he got home he refused to eat it ever again or even have it in his house.

Funny thing though:
Because of his love of gourmet foods, I once asked him what the best meal was that he'd ever eaten. "A can of spam," he replied to my complete surprise. Then said, "During the Battle of the Bulge our supply line was interrupted and we didn't eat for three days. When food finally showed up again, that spam was the best thing I ever tasted."

Speaking of the war, when we were kids we bugged my father to take us camping like other families. He said he camped plenty during the war and preferred a nice hotel, thank you very much.
