Are there foods you WANT to like, but just can't bring yourself to eat?

[Shakespeare]

I have a short list, and it actually depresses me that I just can't develop a liking for them:

Soft, rinded cheeses like brie and camembert. These I continue to try, because I LOVE cheese, but the mildew-y taste, no matter how mild, makes my throat close up. Someday, hopefully.

Hummus - I've tried numerous kinds over the years, because I REALLY want to like it, but always end up grimmacing and never making it past the initial taste (and I'm normally bonkers for anything with lots of garlic or roasted peppers).

And, the one I feel worst about, because I really, REALLY want to like it: asparagus. I just can't stand the way the stuff tastes.

I'm also militantly and proudly anti-cilantro, but that's a topic for another thread (one that doesn't involve guilt and regret). :P
