Curious what's worse for other people - something that taste gross or something with a gross texture?

I can deal with most tastes without squirming, but if something has a weird texture it gets to me. Bananas and citrus segments - love the taste but the texture is meh. The texture of rubbery mushrooms - no thx. Can't really think of any foods I avoid due to taste, but there's foods I avoid due to texture.
 
Litchi. Taste is nauseating as well as the texture - but I guess the taste is worse for me. Same with liver and meat fat - I can't stomach solid fat.
 
coconut , cannot stand its taste and texture , and i can taste it no matter how small the quantity
Lol, I know an Englishman who's the same. Even if I fry something in the smallest amount of coconut oil he's not touching it.

Weird.
Do you recall ever eating too much of it as a kid?

The fat on the side of a lamb chop, after a braai and it goes into the fridge and the next day there's that soft white fat - I'd eat that every day. Same with coconut oil - can eat that from the jar. How about fatty seeming things like peanut butter or olive oil?

Litchi the taste is strange, texture especially with the pip is stranger.
 
I don't like the texture of snails but mushrooms are fine. Absolutely hate the texture of beans
 
Shellfish, hate the taste and texture of crab, crayfish, prawns.

Hate the texture of unsliced leeks (when the full lenght is left) as one went in my airways when I was a kid and it traumatized me.
 
chicken livers are fine but the rest no ways: stomache/intestines etc. Taste and texture miff.
Beef tongue: Texture and the thought of it.
Gelatinous stuff like pork trotter, chicken skin... urg that texture is miff.
 
Cannot stand the taste: Cabbage. Brussel Sprouts. Couscous. Kale. Sprouts.

Cannot stand the texture: Couscous. Stywe Pap. Krummel Pap. Quinoa.
 
Only one two things.

Warm banana. Taste and especially texture.

EDIT: After seeing @Suspect99 post I remembered that I also can't stand brinjal. I've really tried them every way. Braai'ed, fried, baked, grilled, with sauce, with spices, with crumbs, every which way. Nope. That taste just doesn't do it for me.
