I always catch the faintest tinge of turpentine. I wonder if the trees they come from are related.

Peaches steeped in turpentine. That's what they taste like to me and I love them. Funny.

Edit: I googled and look what I found on Wiki:

" Many of the 1,000+ mango cultivars are easily cultivated using grafted saplings, ranging from the "turpentine mango" (named for its strong taste of turpentine. . ."

Durian fruit. I don't need to taste it to know I won't like it. It stinks like sewage or a garbage dump. It's banned in our office. Actually, it's banned in a lot of places globally.

Veggies--the only thing I don't like is a veggie that's not cooked properly (undercooked or over cooked).

Bitter melon's not a big favorite. Olives are a bit too salty for me.

mushrooms
yellow squash

kidney beans (unless they are mixed with other beans then for some reason I can tolerate them)
eggplant

I don't know if I would like brussel sprouts because I've never tried them (I think I probably wouldn't)
You owe it to yourself to try Brussel Sprouts. I like them steamed to the point they are soft enough to cut with a fork. Mix up real Butter, with a pinch of salt, Cumin and Black, White Pepper and melt it all in the Microwave and mix thoroughly then pour over the Brussel Sprouts. A few drops of Lime or Lemon Juice if You like also. I love everything on your list but the turnips.

Ugh, now that you remind me, bitter melon is nasty. Bitter is right, I gag thinking of the taste of it.

Butternut Squash

How about herbs? For the love of God I can't stand Cilantro! Too bitter for me.

Agreed! It's all how you flavor veggies.

I can't think of any vegetables I don't like, but am lukewarm on many fruits. I consistently like most berries and stone fruits, loathe watermelon and mango, and everything else, I can pretty much take or leave.

I don't like kale, and turnip is my least favorite vegetable. I think it's genetic.
