Though technically not food, I believe it's under "food products", and that's milk. I'm not lactose intolerant or anything, just don't like the taste (Whose idea was it anyway to drink the stuff from a cow's breast..)
I won't eat veal, either even though I think the taste is good.
Stuff I won't eat because I don't like it are licorice, sea urchin, and food that is way too spicy. I can tolerate the hot sauce in Chipotle fast food, but that's not as hot as it gets. A habanero based salsa with too much habanero would not be salsa to me, but more like nuclear waste.
I was once in an English pub way out in the countryside and they had their house curry and I ordered it thinking English food doesn't get "that" hot. It turns out it was so hot that I was slamming the 12% percent hosue beer in order to protect myself. It worked out OK. The only other thing that can take away the burn of an overly spicy food is table sugar, right in the mouth.
It's not German, but it's similar. (I speak both English as well as Austrian (which is basically German)
) . It's filled fish!
Gefilte Fish
I do not eat:
All meat
fast food
pretty much anything in a can
CELERY (OMG GROSS)
I do love natto though, as some people above seem to despise. I guess I can see why. It is an acquired taste.

Ok, it's not food but still,
Milk from 1945! When I went to Hawaii on tour with a Brass/Wind/Percussion Band from Canberra I saw this in Food Land:
There were also various others from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s!

Those arent actually from the 1960s.....
Silly goose.
i see by your sig you live on Earth... just in from Mars, eh? you know those are foods that most Earthlings eat...
I cannot eat smoked salmon (or similar smoked fish) or lutefisk since an incident a few years ago.
The whole family had - in turn - become violently sick with some kind of "stomach flu", but since it was a few days since the last one had become sick I thought I'd gone clear. So Christmas day we were at the annual lutefisk dinner at my father-in-law-ish's, and later that evening just before we went to bed I had a roll with smoked salmon.
Two hours later I had ran for the bathroom and stayed there for 5 or 6 hours (it all became sort of a blur in the end).
Ever since that it starts tickling at the back of my mouth if I see or smell (or even think of) smoked salmon. A bit sad since I used to like that.
Lutefisk, which causes a similar though weaker reaction, on the other hand isn't that much of a loss...
Oh, and I've not tried raw scollops or raw oysters again, since I got severely food poisoned from one or the other at a seafood restaurant last Summer... I can live without ever eating oysters again, as I never really cared for those, but I do like (or did like) scollops...
And because of similar reasons I no longer drink gin and bitter lemon or bacardi and coke, but that's for another thread, I guess...

There are some foods I will NOT eat for any reason whatsoever: lutefisk and haggis from Scotland come to mind. Why on Earth should I eat fish meat soaked in lye, which is an industrial chemical?

That's not good. But I love smoked salmon, I'm never giving it up....
But with lutefisk, no thanks....
I don't want to repeat myself (because I might get in trouble with the moderators), so I'll just link to my previously posted ancient milk report.Ok, it's not food but still,

Indeed, I am aware that many eat those items. However, your logic is flawed.
(1) Most people from earth eat X.
(2) I do not eat X.
(3) I am not from earth.
(1) and (2) do not imply (3), since eating X is not a universal characteristic of being from earth.
I don't eat those items because I find them gross, unhealthy, or both. There are some more complicated reasons as well, but those will do. Learn to be logical. Or just don't "other" people who are different from you. It makes you look a bit ignorant, but I hold no hard feelings.
Nah... lutefisk isn't too bad, really...There are some foods I will NOT eat for any reason whatsoever: lutefisk and haggis from Scotland come to mind. Why on Earth should I eat fish meat soaked in lye, which is an industrial chemical?
Some other parts of Norwegian "cuisine" are harder to appreciate: Rakfisk (which makes lutefisk seem like fresh fish), Gammalost (which my 93 year old grandmother loves) and Smalahove (a speciality from Voss, close to Bergen) comes to mind...
Now, some of those I might refuse to eat because of taste/appearance alone...
Well, you'd better not say that around me. I drink an average of almost a half-gallon of milk every day. My parents say it's the reason I'm so tall. The only drink I like better is 100% grape juice.
Cauliflower and cheese... Makes me throw up.
I suppose I could also say any meat because I am vegetarian.

I used to be the same way before I came to Japan.
With my friends, I started out with Yakitori style liver with either a sauce or salt flavoring added. Not bad. I was surprised.
Then I went on to raw liver. So good.
My favorite of the raw foods is basashi which is basically raw horse meat served sushi or sashimi style.
As for foods that I won't eat, one comes to mind. A chunk of kazunoko (herring roe). Those little yellow eggs popping in my mouth just doesn't cut it. Now a thin layer on seaweed is okay and quite tasty.
