What food do you dislike?

There actually aren't many specific ingredients that I dislike. I generally feel like I am an easy eater because I love almost all vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains.
The main exception, however, would have to be cheese.
I am okay with Feta in small portions, but I can't eat most other cheeses (like Parmesan), mostly because they make me feel a bit sick.
That also applies to meals with a heavy cream texture. I avoid anything with rich white sauces or cream added because that texture bothers me in the same way.
Another dislike is chickpeas. I'm not a fan. I can tolerate them if there are only a few in a mixed soup, but I would never go out of my way to cook them. It’s not because they are legumes...I actually love all other legumes, like beans and lentils, it is just chickpeas I don't like.
Other than that, I could mention things like pizza or burgers, but I wouldn't put them on a dislike list. They just aren't foods I prefer or eat very often.
It is actually a bit complex to explain. Even though there aren't many ingredients on my dislike list, they affect a huge number of dishes. Since cheese and cream are used in so many meals, it ends up ruling out quite a lot of options!

Ditto"
This puzzles me; they actually have hardly any taste at all, but I also avoid them.
You are right, they don't have a strong taste. To me, they just feel heavier and harder to digest than other legumes. I know some dishes can be nice, but I still don't prefer them.Ditto"
That said, if I was invited to someone's house and served chickpeas, I would eat them to be polite.
Luckily, chickpeas aren't something everyone knows how to use or cooks often!
My true nightmare is a meal loaded with cheese, like Macaroni and Cheese! That is everywhere and would actually make me sick.
