I like most of the stuff mentioned so far but not the anchovies.  Way too salty.  The worst taste for me is a bad grape tomato.  I eat tons of grape tomatoes in my salads and something like 1 out of 500 of them has a putrid disgusting taste that stays in my mouth seemingly forever.  And I can never tell which ones by looking at them.

I roll with anchovies on my caesar.  They go good in Caeasar dressing too.  I will say lots of places are going with more of a pickled anchovy than the standard oily salty hairy thing.  Not sure how I feel about them. 

Anchovies in a puttanesca sauce are key.
Yup

Banana
I have to admit, you're the first one I've ever heard that doesn't like it.

Hate the flavor (in anything), the smell, the texture (yes, I've eaten bananas).

Also hate peaches and beets. 

Pet peeve: fruit in salads (greens salad, chicken salad,...).

not a fan of peaches either but I'll eat them.  I grown to really like golden raisins or craisins in salads.

Coffee and anything remotely coffee flavored like Kahlua. Just the smell of the stuff makes me ill.

Avacado/guacamole is just the worst thing ever.

Curry...at least the particular type of curry I had the only time I went to an Indian restaurant. Don't ever want to taste that again.
In my opinion, Japanese curry is much more palatable than Indian curry. I love Indian curry, especially as it tends to be spicy, but Japanese curry is better I think. Not sure if you’ve had it, but it might be more likeable than Indian.
never heard of Japanese curry.  I know of Thai (love it) and a variety of Indian curries (like some of them).  What's Japanese curry like?

couldn't live without coffee.  growing up in RI, coffee milk is in my blood.

Cooked, smelly spinach.  Interestingly, I really like raw spinach. 
I'm the opposite sort of.  can only eat it if it's part of a larger combination of ingredients -- soup for example

Mushrooms are totally disgusting (mostly a texture thing)

Brussel sprouts, broccoli, or any green vegetable with 'that' taste - especially cooked. Yuck!

I had this fish paste on some bread in Sweden once called, Kalles Kaviar. I mean, it was the absolute worst thing in the world - I still cringe thinking about it...and I generally like seafood - although I have no idea how people eat raw oysters and not gag.

Oh yeah, tp for an original topic!
