I don't think I can think of ONE!
Racking my brain...nothing pops up.

goji berries

parsnips

That's it, and I've tasted many.

Parsnips are my secret ingredient often! Ha...so far successfully.
Often the cashiers have to ask what they are.
Don't think they see many go thru the line...

I remember my dad not liking beets.

Squashes. Spaghetti squash, butternut, etc. I can handle zucchini, but that's about it.

Grapefruit. I've tried, but just can't bring myself to like them.

Turnips. My mother made them every year for Thanksgiving. My younger sister LOVES them, but I just can't eat them, they are so bitter and just bad-tasting, even when someone puts applesauce in them to try and make them appealing.

I've tried to eat turnips again off and on over the years, thinking maybe my tastes will change, but I still just want to spit them out. The other vegetable I don't like is eggplant, but that's more about the texture. It's sort of like putting soggy cardboard in your mouth. I want to spit that out, too. However, I've had some dishes where eggplant wasn't the main feature but chopped up small and included with other ingredients, and that's OK.

I can eat the squashes, but it was something I had to learn to eat over time. Butternut is the best-tasting one. I've never eaten spaghetti squash. Zucchini and the yellow squash really don't have much flavor in and of themselves, but sauteed with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, they pick up the other flavors.

Pineapple. I find it marginally edible by itself but it is an overpowering flavor in combination. I don't get why it is put in so many juice mixes.

I actually don't like MOST fruits other than citrus. Like most vegetables except green beans and kale.

I'm not a big fan of cooked peas, raw they are like candy...
Split pea soup is my favorite..

There are many fruits and vegetables I have not tried yet, I'm sure to find some unappealing..
