I absolutely cannot stand dried coconut or anything made with it. To me it tastes like I am eating soap. Kiwis are another fruit I just can't take- they make me gag. Something about their texture. A couple of years ago I went on a blueberry binge- ate them constantly almost all summer long. Then one day I bought a pint at the store, got home and opened them up and popped a few in my mouth. I muttered "these things really taste awful" and spit them out. I haven't touched a blueberry since.
Zucchini is my least favorite veggie- just too watery and bland. And every year someone in my neighborhood leaves a whole grocery bag full of it on my doorstep. Store-bought tomatoes are on my "hate" list as well. They taste like cardboard. Okra? Yuck. Grits? Like eating school paste. The only kind of rice I will eat is Jasmine rice- any other rice, fahgetaboutit.
I also hate any vegetable that is boiled. Lightly steamed - maybe, but never, ever boiled. Boiling veggies just takes everything out of them. I roast or sautee all my veggies.

I think zucchini is one of those tasteless vegetables whose purpose is to carry or absorb other flavors. Slice 'em up with onions, saute in butter till soft, add tomato slices (NOT supermarket fake tomatoes) until heated through, then mozzarella cheese and some herbs. Tasty side dish, and throw leftovers into an omelet.
^^ Zucchini exists so that people can make zucchini bread. I don't like it on its own unless it's grilled.
Hahaha, my mom makes great zucchini bread. Yes, it's OK grilled. My friend eats it raw "instead of cucumbers". I'd rather have nothing instead of cucumbers.

Love green and yellow summer squash (green is Zucchini). Dice it and quickly stir-fry over med-high heat to brown on both sides before it gets soft. I little bit of Adobo seasoning. serve and eat right away.
Also as mom used to make, saute sliced or diced zucchini and add to (canned) chopped or diced tomato and add some red pepper. Great side dish (this is what we called "zucchini")
Larger summer squash we scape out the seed part and "stuff" with rice and meat and bake in the oven, topping with grated cheese before serving. MMMM...
I am always a little surprised when people say they can not stand Zucchini. what is there not to like about it? That is one of those veggies that doesn't really have much flavor. spoiled brat could care if I even serve it, but he doesn't really dislike it. I love it with onions, garlic, maybe other squash thrown in or grilled, after marinating it for a few hours. No, it isn't my favorite, but it is good, low calorie and healthy. Now growing up mom boiled the heck out of it and served it with canned tomatoes. That I did hate!!!!
I hated zucchini as a kid, but I will eat it chopped small in salads or vegetarian enchiladas. Sliced and seedy and overcooked, I might still gag. Yellow squash is occasionally okay, but I can happily live without it. I have not had spaghetti squash in decades and might even like it now but will probably never find out.
I like zucchini, but, yeah, not incredibly flavorful.
