What food or drink do you despise that everyone seems to love? (wines, whiskey)

This thread is convincing me that the Martians may indeed have landed. Luckily, we'll be able to recognize them by their peculiar dining habits.

Wine - the taste is OK but the effects are terrible. Its a very cheap buzz that makes my head hot and within an hour I'll start getting tired and headachy. It reminds me of the buzz a cigarette gives. I love beer and some other spirits but wine is a no-go.

Shrimp, lobster, crabs, clams - it appears to be any kind of shellfish.

I'll eat it, but I simply find the above too bland and rubbery. I figure that's why nearly all of the above is served slathered in butter.

Well, I don't know if "everyone" loves oysters, but it seems that there are a lot of oyster aficionados out there. However, I am not a part of that group. I have tried to eat oysters several times over the past 55 years or so, and just a taste of them brings me very close to vomiting.

Shrimps, mussels, crabs, most shellfish. I do love clams in pasta, though.

must be the sulfides. Even cheap wine, can be refreshing and if you only drink a glass or two it shouldn't cause you trouble unless it is the sulfides. When you say cheap, of course I don't know how cheap you are referring to; I can remember some when we were first married; not good for anyone, not even a wino.

Pumpkin Spice coffee, latte, whatever, if I'm gonna have flavored coffee it'll be Irish thank you.

Oh, I feel ya. I used to feel the same way until I started drinking different wines. I would drink 2 glasses of chianti or merlot and the next day it felt like I was hit by a bus and that was usually with Cali wines and some Italian wines. I can now literally drink an entire bottle in about 2 hours and feel completely fine the next day. I almost gave up on wine until I started researching and changing regions of where it was being produced. Now I drink mostly French, Northern Italian, Spain and South American.
