I went to a restaurant that served all the types of durian on a platter, all the way up to musang king. Hated every bite.

My fellow Asians judge me for hating it, but I refuse to be shamed. My American palate won’t let me like it.

There’s a reason they’re banned on public transport in Asia.

#6 Black licorice. I’ve accepted my DNA just can’t stand the stuff.

#11 Intestines/innards of any kind and solid portions of fat on meat. One of my husband’s favorite dishes is barbequed intestines (Japanese barbecue) and I can smell its appeal, but I physically can’t deal with the texture. And it really saddens me because I’ve always wanted to eat menudo and I know the soup is bomb AF ?. I think I have some sort of fat/chewy PTSD from when I was forced to eat gristle off of meat as a kid.

The salty /fishy /cold/ bubble tea texture combo makes me retch . Smoked salmon too – I’m a terrible one for cold fishy amuse-bouche.
