There is no middle ground. You're either on board with the diarrhea-like substance or you're not. It just tastes gross.

Runners up:

Straight mayo or Miracle Whip. A bad experience with a McDLT made me an enemy to this condiment for life.

Casseroles. Tossing runny, sloppy, canned crap in a dish and baking it doesn't = food. It equals lazy shit. I absolutely hate it when her family comes over and they make green bean casserole. REALLY? Think I'm eating that?

Mayonnaise-ish dips that look and smell like vomit. These seem to end up at nearly every party we're at and the whole house ends up smelling sour afterwards.

Pineapple on pizza. NO.

Banana Peppers. They smell like harsh foot sweat, so no way is that going near my mouth.

Ricotta, bleu or feta cheese. If this ingredient is in or on any dish, I won't eat it. Bad consistency, worse taste (especially bleu).

Cilantro - for reasons already listed.

Tapioca/vanilla/rice pudding. Gross, gross and more gross.

ETA: Any "Salad" that has "Potato", "Egg", "Chicken", "Tuna" or "Bean" in front of it. The first four all have mayo plague and the last is just utterly nasty.
