Tomatoes are a love-hate item with no logic behind it
Can’t stand cherry tomatoes or sliced tomatoes in, like, a green salad. Mrs Throbber v2.0 gets mine every time we go out.
BUT after trying a legit Capresesalad while traveling in Italy, couldn’t get enough of them. It was probably the authentic mozzarella cheese combined with fresh sliced tomato combo…fucking awesome. Nothing in the US has come close.
Love pizza with red sauce (just don’t put that bullshit pineapple on it). Spaghetti sauce, lasagne, all good Just don’t like the uncooked hard turning to juicy texture in my mouth. Probably some underlying homo issue there.
So a lot of Mayonnaise dislikes. Honestly I was a bit surprised, mostly as it seems like such a staple for sandwiches, burgers, and things like potato salad. Curious the reasons for the distaste.
Mayo is good in the background to add savory flavor and keep things from drying out. Mayo gets a bad rap, IMO. Miracle Whip, now that's some nasty stuff.
Back in the day when Claim Jumper was a thing, I was checking out the dessert menu and saw that a single slice of the chocolate cake had about 3500 calories. Beyond being massively huge, there had to be some other factors to make it that high in calories. The waiter told me that they used a lot of mayo in the cake batter to keep it spongy and moist.
Mayo at its core, is just oil and egg whites, and I think salt? No if you want to skip some calories hold the mayo. Growing up every sandwich that wasn't a PB & J had mayo on it. Bologna, turkey, ham, cheese, you name it had it, and usually paired with mustard, and sometimes relish.
And raisins. I fucking hate those things. I don’t how many times I wanted to kill some dumb mother fucker who said I’m gonna make cookies with raisins that look like chocolate chips.
Bro, I make a pumpkin cookie and you cant even tell they are in it mostly because the amount of chocolate is like triple the amount or raisin. I have sweet teeth (plural) so I'm always a bit baffled when people dislike sweet things like jams / jellies or even dried up little grapes. If its sweet, I will likely enjoy it. To each his own.
When I first tried Beluga Caviar I had the same reaction Tom Hanks had in Big. Absolutely Fucking Awful. Never again.
Similar vomit reflex when I accidentally ate a cracker with goat cheese on it. Again, Absolutely Fucking Awful.
Raw or undercooked black olives on Pizza: One bite into an oily, wet black olive and that's all I can taste until it's scrubbed from my mouth. Ruins a good pizza for me. If they're roasted or baked well, I don't mind them at all.
Comments
You had me until lamb.
I don't know if I've had straight lamb, only Lamb/Beef gyro meat, which is tasty.
I don't eat fish but I take Krill Oil after my evening meal.
I am not a fan of fish, orange, or peanut sauces.
I like teriyaki sauce. Also Worcestershire.
I haven't seen the Godfather.
Mushrooms and olives will always suck unless they cause ego loss.
I love every type of onion, tomato, and pepper.
The spice is nice.
I’d argue that well cooked lamb is better than steak. That’s my hot take for the day.
I pretty stopped putting mayonnaise on sandwiches after seeing this movie. I’m not 100% opposed to mayo if it’s a base for something else.
Miracle Whip is one thing I’ve always fucking hated. It’s disgusting and yet people put that crap on food.

Good, fresh tomatoes are fine. So much of the produce is sub par and grown in Chile or something though. I think we've come to expect it to be bad.

I was a huge mayo guy as a kid.
Your mention of PB&J reminded me that I hate all jams and jellies.

Our cultural heritage demanded Miracle Whip on every meat/cheese oriented sandwich.

I only eat lil' lamb chops - Costco seems to have the best deal. Used to take a package of those guys to tailgates
Cooked medium rare
I also have sweet teeth but definitely more of a savory guy. Jams and jellies have always disgusted me.
Hate/Will not Eat:
olives
mushrooms
oysters and clams (except for in clam chowder)
beets
Do not like, will eat if necessary:
green beans
sushi
white bread
squash
minestrone soup
cauliflower pizza crust
sweet salsas. You know, like the salsas with pineapple or mango. Gross. Salsa should be savory and spicy, not sweet.
Don't really care for italian food unless it's homemade.

Sushi. I don't get it.
