Some common ones:

Pimento peppers and the powdered form paprika is hot to some,
bland but colorful to others. My whole family is in the bland
group so woe onto anyone with enough Hungarian bloodline who
eats stew at our place.

Avocados are delicious to my wife but nearly flavorless green
crayons to me. I don't dislike them I just can't detect the
specific chemical in them she likes.

Asparugus are one of my favorite veggies and I can easily
detect the smell when I urinate afterwards. My wife thinks
they are brand and nearly flavorless. It's the avocado
situation genetically reversed.
