Beer and Wine- I have tried so many beers and they are all gross. Wine is tolerable, but I will take liquor first. Yoga Skiing

- Wine.
- Spinach. I tried and tried from the time I was five and wanted to marry Popeye when I grew up. I still try. It is awful. And I love all the other greens like kale, turnip greens, etc.
- Olives.
- Jazz.
- The Olympics. I can watch the odd event here and there. But not hours and hours and hours.
- Presidential speeches. That isn't even related to Trump. I've always hated "State of the Union" type speeches.
- Woody Allen movies.
- Monty Python. I just can't get into it. The humor isn't funny to me.
- Moby Dick. Why anyone would call it "The Great American Novel" is beyond me. Melville needed a good editor with a red pen.
- Research papers. I can barely stand to read them any more. Of course, 30-something years at 120-250 a year means I have read thousands. There is barely anything I don't know about Walt Disney, Princess Diana, or Pat Summitt.
That's just the top ten.

- sweet potatoes, mustard, pineapple, fennel. I have tried all of the above so many times over the years, and I still don't like them.
- NBA basketball. love the college game, can't stand the egos in pro.
- running just to run. put me in a game, and I'll run all day. well, maybe not so much anymore lol...
- gin.

I would like to eat more fish but i really only like it on rare occasion. I hate cooking it , hate fishy smells, etc. If i am at the beach then yes i will chow down on seafood, but then i am good till next year.

Golf and fishing for me as well.
At work I get asked to golf all the friggin time and blame my slight rotator cuff tear as to why I can’t.
Also laying on the beach, I went out of my mind last vaca when that was half of what the entire group wanted to do. I ended up going off on my own.

I ended up going off on my own. maybe because I live at the beach, but I love going there with a chair and a book for maybe an hour or two. I am not a huge fan of just laying out all day either, though.

Starbucks coffee. To me it's very harsh and bitter. I'm a coffee drinker but want something mellower.

I never understood fishing until I got some of my current friends and discovered it's not really about catching fish... it's about being able to sit and gossip with your friends while drinking beer at 10 AM. Now I'm a big fan and fish whenever the guys invite me. My favorite friend to fish with is a retired vet who is hilarious. He brings the fishing gear + bait, I bring the lunch and beer and we take one of the club boats out to "maintain the fixed racing marks". Very fun. Sometimes we even catch fish. I eat whatever he sends me home (nicely filleted and stored in a baggie), but I don't really care if we catch anything or not.

Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey.
When I found out 50 Shades started out as Twilight fan fic that explained a lot.

I really do not get how people like that or it's cousin jackfruit. I don't care how many times my Indian co-workers assure me jackfruit is delicious the way they cook it, tasting it once 10 years ago was enough thank you.

Scotch, yogurt, kale, okra, baseball, and a Russian composer of classical music whose name escapes me.
I went to a concert of that music and asked a cellist I was talking to what the appeal of that music was she was playing. I got the impression she didn't like it much either.

I love most of the strongly flavored alcohols - like Scotch and Gin - but feel like the only person on the planet that finds Vodka highly objectionable. So strange to me that people claim it's flavorless. It is NOT flavorless, it tastes like rubbing alcohol that's been mixed with mud then filtered through dirty socks. Nasty.
That's probably why when I make homemade infusions like Limoncello I don't use Vodka as a base. Everclear makes a much better finished drink.

Mushrooms, creatures from the sea of any kind, team sports. I'm another who doesn't care for concerts, but I go to these because DW loves to go to concerts. In return she'll go to breweries with me even though she doesn't care for beer. I'll drink Starbucks because they are everywhere when I need a coffee fix, but their coffee is too bitter. I drink it anyway, because I'm that much of a coffee addict . Edited to add: Video games in any form. I just can't.
