Natto. Literally the worst, IMO. Even a good number of Japanese folks don't like it.

Bologna
Breakfast cereal

I haven't had either, in any way, shape or form, in decades.

There's another one but this I'd like to try again - root beer with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. I've had the ice cream, but not the root beer.

Your mother 🤤

MC Donalds and similiar. Crispy oven pommes and self-made burger beats greasy pommes and spongy burger tasting like old socks.

Meat, nobody tastes good anymore.

alcohol of any form I will not consume... I'm not against getting fucked up, I smoke weed but alcohol itself is just absolutely nasty to me. hate how it tastes, hate how it feels

I also avoid ketchup or ketchup based products like BBQ sauce... I just think it tastes bad... I like mustard... I have been like this since a very young age

Goulash, pot roast, chili, and all the other shit I ate regularly while growing up in the Midwest.

Mushrooms. Ever since I learned more about mushrooms than I ever wanted to know in school like 30 years ago I haven't been able to even touch them.

I've gotten much more omnivorous as I get older, but have not eaten a fast food burger since I was a little kid. Don't remember being bothered by them back then (unless they involved ketchup) but it's been at least 40 years and they seem like inedible items to me now, I'd much rather have nothing.

Popeyes chicken I can still eat, and the American Chinese fast food. Oh and fries from about anywhere, though I don't consider them nutrition, I like 'em.

Most cheese, really. I mean, I can eat it, but it rarely adds anything good to a meal for me. It wasn't until I spent a good chunk of time in Erope ad came that I realized how much cheese we put on everything and how it just makes everything taste like, well, cheese.

So, I no longer add cheese as a topping to most things.

I don't know that I've ever thought of something as inedible. But, I will say that, when I stop eating sugar for awhile, it is crazy tasting going back to it.

Going through these phases has helped me to understand what people mean when they say American food is too sweet, especially things like sandwich bread which I never thought of as sweet before.

It also makes sense about desserts that are "sickeningly sweet" - I've always had a sweet tooth (have one now) so I never thought of it that way. But whenever I go back to these desserts it becomes pretty obvious what people mean.

I have kinda recently developed a distaste for junk food also mayonnaise i hate that shit with all my heart.

Chef boyardee. I served some to my kid and took a bite cause I hadn't had it in decades. That shit is vile. Was it always that bad and we didn't notice as kids, or did they change it up and it's awful now?

Crisps (potato chips). I looked at the nutritional breakdown and the ingredients and just didn't see the point. It feels like eating flavoured cardboard and it's like sludge going through my system. That's kinda off-putting 😄

Beer. Since I stopped drinking it I have lost so much weight and feel so much healthier.

You might want to look into fodmaps. They are sugar alcohols that people can have intolerance too (lactose is common) frustose in excess of glucose can be a problem. There are lots of others. Monash University does studies on how much is in what fruits and vegetables so you can exclude all of them, then test by reintroduction. Once you know which you are sensitive to, there are lists of which foods have which and safe portions.

White bread, white rice, white pasta. Makes me bloated as fuck.

Any kind of fish or seafood. I had severe food poisoning from fish in the student cafeteria so I cannot stand fish or seafood anymore. The smell makes me turn and run.

McDonald's

I don't know if the recipe/ingredients changed, or I just started eating healthier, but I can't even have a cheeseburger from there without my body rejecting it.

Whataburger is still good though, love me a chicken bbq sammach with bacon, pickles and toast bun.

Baby formula

Meat clearly isn't gonna be a unique answer here, but it does have a weird effect on what it feels like to travel to different countries when your diet doesn't revolve around animals.

Where other people see tons of street food and opportunities for interacting with a culture, some places mostly just feel empty.

Not meaning it in a judging way, but there are tons of places where I don't really feel welcome.

Also how is your butthole doing, bro?

I didn't eat meat for 25 years. When people around me would be eating a meat centered meal I would feel like they must still be hungry when they were done because only like 25% of their plate was food? I couldn't imagine how meat could be filling, since it wasn't food.
