"vs. marmite-esque ones you like*"

And by the title I’m asking if you have a list of generally well-liked foods/drinks that you personally don’t like and/or a corresponding foods that generally provoke Marmite reactions in the general public (in terms it often being a case of “you either love or loathe it”) that you actually do like?

Mine would be (for well-liked foods that I personally dislike) eggs, ham, tuna, brown bread (which seems to have been a lot more popular recently, although I’m sure the slight majority of people still prefer white or at-least 50-50/best of both breads), most salad creams (unless they’re poured but very lightly on coleslaw, likewise for mayo. for chips occasionally), dill (anything that reminds me of pickles/the very gherkins that I used to have to pay an extra 10p. removed from my McDonald’s burgers is a no-no), mojitos (I don’t like the taste of mint in drinks or yoghurt) and hummus. Heck, I don’t even like sandwiches that much unless they’re Italian nacho-wrap/semi-tortilla ones. I hate boiled eggs (I can never get past the smell) but I guess I don’t mind scrambled and omelettes so it’s not even like I don’t particularly like eggs as a whole (although not enough to buy them unless I need them to bake something) as-such, although I’d rather do without them altogether. I just really, really don’t like boiled eggs.
I don’t really mind sandwiches with bits of chicken/turkey (preferably breast/sliced) or chocolate-spread (funnily enough Nuttela is actually my least-favourite type/brand of chocolate-spread; it’s too ‘bitty’ for me) but as far as the ballpark-neighbourhood for cold lunch foods go I’d rather just have a Walkers (I used to prefer Ready Salted but more recently Cheese and Onion has been my go-to), McCoy’s or bag of Thai crisps (or a bar) if it can’t be some sort of Italian wrap or at-least something from Subway.
I also dislike lettuce, which is why I shy away from most salads (I like cabbage, red or green, but not lettuce).

On the contrary I love ginger-beer, every type of seafood under the sun (and I was like that before parts of the U.K. started making and selling these seafood boils), loads and loads of pepper (my taste-buds can handle peppery food and have a high tolerance for it) and I’m one of those weirdos who actually like drinking water for water’s sake. It’s not hard for me to get the recommended adult’s intake for drinking it (in litres/pints) per day.

I don't like avocados and liver.
But apart from that I'm not really fussy with food.

I detest Marmite

I’m the opposite (I love liver but I don’t like avocado).

I had a crumpet and marmite at 4pm. Lush

I like weird combinations. I like mashing up a tin of salmon with crunched up pringles...sour cream flavour.

[Redway]

Cucumber’s another food I don’t like. I don’t like anything in that family (cucumbers, pickles/gherkins, dill).

[Redway]

And no mustard whatsoever.

Mushrooms are the devil’s concoction !!

Why would anyone eat something so slimy that smells and tastes so bad .. then there’s that awful after-taste !

Salad cream is Satan. Apart from that, I'll eat any old sh1te

Garlic and anything with garlic in it. I find it putrid and the smell of garlic bread cooking makes me urge.

I’m exactly the same with garlic apart from when the wife slow cooks lamb and adds a bit of garlic in whilst it’s cooking ..

I don’t actually taste the garlic particularly

I know garlic-breath can be a bit off-putting (but nothing that isn’t easily solved by just carrying some gum/mint with you) but I have to disagree. Garlic might not go well with every single food under the sun and I do probably kinda prefer ginger but when the garlic-cap does fit it fits. I like it a lot.

Exactly. Sometimes the smell of the onions frying/caramelising (especially with a bit of curry-powder/pepper/general seasoning) is better than the actual taste of the eventual meal.

I'm not the biggest lover of Cake or Beer.

I do like Broccoli and Chocolate Milkshake.

I’m one of those people who love all four of those. My only pet-peeve with milkshakes (of any kind, really) is that they don’t quench my thirst in McDonald’s enough when I’m eating my meal. Sometimes I test the waters and get a strawberry or banana milkshake with my fries and burger/nuggets and then get properly thirsty and regret not ordering a sprite or something instead.

I agree with you about the Milkshakes not quenching my thirst from McDonald's, but tbf I only ever have my thirst quenched with either Water or Cola so I'm probably extremely odd in that particular area.

I do love the taste of Milkshakes though.

[Redway]

Not sure I’ve mentioned this but contrary to many people I love, love, love liver (and not just as foie-gras or in a certain type of fried rice). I ate my body-weight in some lamb liver I bought over Easter and ate it with virtually every meal.
