Probably could not hurt if you like blue cheese. I'm not much of a fan
of it. ;-)

Calling it "soured milk" is a little simplistic, but yes, that's what it
is. After the fat is removed to make butter, the remaining buttermilk
is cultured with bacteria, which makes it "sour" (lactic acid):

Lima beans, liver, cilantro, offal such as hearts, gizzards, tongues,
stomachs etc.

You don't like cilantro? Why?

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I'm not a fan either, but I can deal with small amounts of cilantro.
The way I feel about pesto is that it has WAAAAY too much basil for my
tastes.

Everything must be balanced. Basil is great in Thai food, with
lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and other spices. But in pesto it is
too concentrated and unbalanced. Plus I find pesto too oily for pasta.
White and pink (i.e., dairy-based) sauces are much-much better,
especially if you throw truffles, morels or porcini/cepes in them.

Folks who don't like it often describe it like
eating soap. It appears to be a genetic variation
in how chemicals trigger reaction.

I detest brussell sprouts! I'm firmly convinced there's a chemical in
brussell sprouts (and some other vegetables) that some people can
taste as bitter and unpleasant while other people can't taste it at
all. Much like the chemical they put on paper strips and passed out in
biology class in high school to demonstrate a genetic distribution of
people who were "tasters" in a given population.

Broccoli too perhaps. I love broccoli, but George HW Bush (Sr) was
very outspoken about his distaste for broccoli. I cannot for the life
of me find any flavor in broccoli that is bad, yet Bush (Sr) detested
it. Go figure!

Curious, because brussels sprouts are exactly the same species as
broccoli, Brassica oleracea.
I dislike all cruciferous vegetables, though I openly advocate anyone
who likes them eating them regularly.
I wish I liked broccoli, but it's not to be.

Actually, I'd say that I lost that round. But a guy's gotta push on
to new territory every now and then.

Any overcooked cruciferous veggie. Broccoli, cauliflower, brussel
sprouts--blech!

I don't recall eating boiled asparagus, but I steam it and eat with
salt and sour cream, and I find it to be the best cooked vegetable of
all, along with steamed zucchini.

To me, broccholi are pretty bad.

Yes, I do that too. Especially in the salmon-asparagus-hollondaise
combination.

We can trade and clean the platter. We'll call it team work.

I won't eat - bell peppers of any color, but I like hot peppers,
paprika aka pimento peppers, some other types of sweet
peppers.

I won't eat - parsnips, but I like most other root veggies.
The nasty roots seriously smell up the house when they
are cooked, too.

I won't eat - any of the class of moldy cheeses, but I like
most of the smelly cheeses and I love most of the sharp
cheese. It's hilarious to listen to people who can't figure
out what is and isn't mold going "So you don't like Stilton.
How about Gorgonzola?" Nope, no moldy cheeses.

I can't eat/digest - wheat. Other grains are merely fattening.

Someone mentioned -

Kidneys - Cooking method is supposed to make a big difference.

Olives - My wife hates them. So a pizza with them means
we each get our own pizza and have leftovers.

Brussel sprouts versus brocolli - Sinc ethey have the same
chemistry this seems to be a matter of how much. Whatever
the yummy chemical is brussel sprouts have more. Don't
try them raw or you'll find out they have enough to burn.

Liver - Send it my way. Maybe I'll make some pate'.
