Not possible, otherwise he wouldn't eat poutine, which has got to be some Quebecois requirement.
I don't "hate" a lot of foods, liver and cow's tongue I'll avoid because I don't like the taste and texture. Mango, Onions, and mellons I'll avoid cause they don't like me. But boiled brussel sprouts absolutely turn my stomach (to me they smell like an outhouse) I don't know how people can eat them.
Black Licorice. Awful.
Pickles.
Mushrooms.
I'm trying to expand my diet and start eating fish, but man. All of it always tastes like......fish. I'm trying to like it, but it's not easy.

How can so many people not like liquorice?! The only thing better than normal liquorice is that really salty liquorice that you get from IKEA.
I eat pretty much anything (or at least am willing to try anything once). However, I detest:
1. Mushrooms (utterly repulsive...unless completely hidden in the food...i.e. no bits or pieces that I can discern)
2. Liver / liver pate'
3. Black pudding (or any other dish with coagulated blood in it)
4. Sardines and anchovies
5. Pickled herring
6. Beat juice and beat soup
7. Fermented cabbage
8. Fermented beans
One of my aunts also used to eat a really disgusting snack, which: She would take rye bread and spread on bacon grease (that white stuff left over in the pan after cooking bacon) and then lay sardines, from a can, right on top. She loved it...it made me sick.

I'm not a huge fan of it, but I have heard the salty stuff is the bollocks.
I will eat and drink pretty much anything. One flavour I dislike though is aniseed. I just can't get on with it. But I'm currently trying to figure out why I don't like it. So I'll eat fennel and drink stuff like Arak and Absinthe.
I'm trying to get to the point where I can go the a restaurant, look at the menu and not be restricted in any way.
People think I'm odd for eating stuff I don't like. But I point out that as a kid you instinctively avoid things like sprouts (your instinct tells you bitter things could be poisonous so you think it's nasty). But as you grow older you learn to trust things and expand your tastes. I'm still growing older so my tastes are still expanding (a bit like my waist, but that's a different story)

and pig tongues
after all it's one of the leanest pieces of meat you can get ... if you can get towards you imagination
pig-tongue bacon is perhaps the best bacon out there by far
(and blood sausages can be really good ... but that's entirely dependent if they are quality made ... blood and liver sausage + other parts of meat+ sauerkraut + mashed potatoes ... you gotta combine it all)
i find kidney much more off ... after all that thing is filtering dirty stuff out the blood so why should we eat it
Heavily processed foods: Half a lab's worth of chemicals and a week's worth of salt per box or can. I sometimes think the focus groups testing them for market must all be drunks who smoke 4 packs a day and have no tastebuds left.
Cooked fast foods: as above, plus the greasiness and the huge portions.
Farmed fish. I distrust the feed additives and the frickin' COLOR added to salmon.

It tends to be texture that puts me off food more than the taste.
I can't eat raw tomatoes - the seedy pulpy bit feels horrible.
I don't particularly like offal although I'll happily eat it in haggis.
I don't like overly strong coriander/cilantro - tastes like detergent to me.
The one thing where smell puts me off is goat's cheese. I hate when someone has a goat's cheese pizza/tart in a restaurant and the stench overpowers whatever you have.
Oh yeah... and overly processed is in there too. That icky cheesy nachos sauce is just molten plastic.

Anyone who has ever ever worked in a cinema, and, hungover, has had to tip an entire quivering tub of cheese sauce like a giant cheesy jelly into the warmer thing first thing in the morning would agree with that, I think. <heaves>
Cilantro.
Foul stuff. Always ask for it not to be included in me Asian food.
Ahh, I'm not the only one! Every time I tell someone that cilantro tastes like soap/detergent they look at me like I'm crazy, even if they don't like it either! Why can't anyone else taste the soapiness?! F*&%^! >=[

My God man! Cilantro is a wonder spice! Makes so many things better
I was once given a pepper candy from a Dane that I met on the plane. He said it was from Turkey. Well, it was the most foul candy I'd ever eaten. I can't believe what passes for candy in some places
That description reminds me of the fake bacon bits I was going to buy once. I looked at the ingredients and it was so artificial it could have been kosher!
That and the 20 or so chemicals I couldn't pronounce forced me to fry my own bacon and crumble it.Yeah, I only had it the once and the experience was not good; some people love it thoughPeople eat cow tongues!
Plagiarist! I read this same story when I was a child. The book was by Dr. Seuss if I recall . . .

Bleurgh - my girlfriend eats this stuff and keeps telling me how good it is.

Sell 'em down Borough market if you look closely. You could also try throwing a pigs foot into a casserole
Anyone tried Malaysian "sotong with petai" curry?
I ordered a big plate of it at a Malaysian restaurant in London (the owner warned me that I wouldn't like it, but I have a low boredom threshold and need to try new things all the time
The sotong bit of the curry was squid and squid ink (which was OK). The Petai is an EVIL bright green bean, which tastes sour/accrid/putrid and smells ungodly. I ate the whole plate to prove that I was right (I wasn't).
Worst thing is that this bean lingers in your body for DAYS and makes you fart/belch this evil smell up again and again.
Apparently it's a delicacy.
Out of interest which restaurant was this? Not that I necessarily want to try it but I've been looking for a good Malay restaurant in London without much success.
Oh and whisky or Jack Daniels makes me want to puke just at the smell.
Well, I'm now a vegetarian... BUT before I was I hated ham, It would literally make me gag. Disgusting. I don't like beer either.
I sincerely hope that you're joking. It truly happened on a flight I took between Copenhagen and Keflavík
I rather think that mixing it with Monster Energy and a Three Musketeers would be nice.....

(Is this why she wants me to take it?)
C&R Cafe at Rupert Court (just near Chinatown).
It's not flash - just a good quality small restaurant/cafe with some great food. The roti canai is superb - a really great hint of anaise in the sauce. Laksa is good, nasai lamak is great. I eat there quite often
They have a second restaurant now in Bayswater (I haven't been to it). I think the owner now hangs out there. The owner is really friendly - told me up front that I wouldn't like that bean dish, and offered me something else for free if I didn't like it. Too proud to take him up on his offer though!
