Food people love, but you can't stand

I like trying new foods and flavors from a number of cultures. I've eaten bugs and a variety of plants and animals. Some of which have been super tasty, and others not as much, but I was glad I had the opportunity to try. I also like to cook and try to stretch my cooking abilities with what I make. However, the one thing I don't like eating is lamb. It seems to be fairly popular, especially when you travel abroad. I've had lamb in fancy restaurants and from street vendors in Europe, South America, and here in the US. I've had it prepared in a variety of ways, and each time it is a no go and I regret it. I always figure I'm going to find a place that prepares it in a way that I will like an it will make for a more enjoyable experience and turn the tide.
I know I keep going back to the punishment well with the lamb, but I used to be this way about fried eggs. Just couldn't stand the taste or texture. One day I had one on a burger on a whim and I loved it. Now I'm finding ways to use a fried egg, or just egg yolk, in a lot of things I make. This summer I tried my hand at egg yolk ravioli, where the ravioli has some ricotta and an egg yolk in the center. So when you cut the ravioli the yolk oozes out and mixes with the sauce for a rich flavor.
So I ask, what is one food that people seem to like, or rave about, that you can't stand?

Well, first, I won't eat or wouldn't enjoy anything involving suffering like veal, monkey brains, calf brains, boiled lobster, etc. Also nothing like dog, or especially animals made to suffer.
As for more common foods; I've never had crawdads but the whole thing seems disgusting - involving sucking the whole body and head and everything. NO INTEREST...

Cauliflower rice has to top the list for me. I did try chicken feet once, that was enough for me. I've heard of people liking fish eyeballs, not for me. I don't like dim sum either. I still laugh at my wife's comment on dim sum. It was "Dim some lights, they're bringing out the barnyard scraps!" I guess any of the weird grissel, tendons, etc. that are Asian delicacies. YUK This dish looked okay, but tasted like beach scraps.

I’ve eaten lamb my whole life. Delicious! Sushi and sashimi is delicious! Tomatos are delicious!
Eggs yolks are gross.
Runny eggs in general are gross.
Eggs Benedict looks gross.
Pickles on a hot sandwich, hamburger etc. disgusting.

Eggs Benedict is a Breakfast favorite, though i make sure to order with the Egg's hard. I don't like runny Yolks. Not a Fan of lamb either, it's greasy.

Pretty much the normal disgusting stuff I won’t eat , brain, tongue, tendons, eyes, organs or any things of the Like .
I LOVE sushi , eggs with runny yokes , I will eat salmon though I’m not a huge fan since it is either to dry or not enough flavor . But I have a very short list of normal food I won’t eat . But I could live off sushi and sautéed mushrooms .

Mushrooms Hummus Eggplant Beets
Basically, if it has an earthy flavor, I'm out. My wife and mother-in-law LOVE beets, but they seriously make me gag.
