  6. What food do you dislike that surprises people when they find out?

    Not much more to this than the title. It's just that question, what of your food dislikes surprises people when you tell them you don't care to eat it? For me it's maize. I love cornmeal foods, but corn itself - the kernels or on the cob,...
