At least one person will feel sick after reading this thread.
Recently I had the good fortune of trying out blood sausage for the first time. It was alright, but the filler was barley and oats so it felt kind of like Chinese preserved egg yolk without the Chinese preserved egg yolk flavor.
Personally I'd take raw sausage over blood sausage.

Herring that's been left to rot in a barrel for at least a year. This is a real thing that people eat at grand occasions in Sweden. (Usually midsummer.) They open the tin cans, tear up from the smell, take out the fish, bone it and put it on sandwiches with boiled potatoes and wash it down with hard liqor.
Funny, at xmas ham is the traditional centerpiece of the table. Our essential highlight-of-the-year foods are both sandwich toppings.
But anyway, the rotten herring. It can stink up an average house for weeks. It's the only food in existence that makes me gag if I try to eat it.

I had some ox tongue the other day. Surprisingly good but near impossible to eat- so tough.
Also sheep brain is pretty tasty. Like you eat through the meat and then you get a little pudding at the top of the animal.

I do not like cheese.
You can all stop staring now.
It's really spoiled milk you're eating, you know?
Most cheese and Jewish food - falafel and the like. I also dislike sauces. Special sauce, mayonaise, cream cheese, cheese whiz, McSauce, spread, whatever. I just like mustard - both regular and dijon, and salad dressing.

I do believe that was the reason why the Chinese didn't like cheese either.
Still, people will eat disgusting things if they're desperate enough.
In a similar vein, alcoholic drinks are the result of fermenting specific substances, like starches and grape juice.

I like the more exotic cheeses, like Oka, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Roquefort, and Woolwich Chevrai, more than the more familiar cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella. They're expensive, but they're really good.
I draw the line at Casu Marzu, though. Don't like to ingest live parasites and risk getting sick.

I've grown up with exotic restaurants, chicken hearts, tripe, tendon, thieves potion, ect.
But most bricky type foods, rather any food I have to eat in brick form grosses me out, especially egg, thus quiche is possibly the worst food for me.

Hmm, here is some food you might all find mighty tasty!
Duck's Tongue (Tasted exactly as I imagined),
Duck's Blood (Didn't taste of much, had a tofu texture),
Stinky Tofu (Basically, smells like shit),
Fish heads (Kinda strange, and crunchy),
Haggis (This one is just delicious, I just love me some haggis and cheese toasted sandwiches),
Tripe,
Blood Pudding,
Jellyfish,
Cooked Tree Fungus,
Snails,
Fried Kidneys on Toast,
Fried Goat Brain.
Probably lots of stuff that I don't know, too. Also most of the usual food eaten (Like Chicken, Duck etc) also comes with the head. Kinda strange to have a chicken in pieces only to pick up the cooked head, it's lifeless eyes staring back at you.

Actually, I've tried peas that have juicy, non-flaky flesh. The peas you've tried are probably too old.
Sill, I always go for corn instead of peas because corn is usually sweeter.

Onions or tomato. Any tomato. I can't even stand ketchup, just the smell makes me want to gag. Like the only thing I can stand is when it's barbeque ribs (if that is tomato, IDK), and pizza sauce, and even then, only certain brands. That might just be an autistic thing, I dunno. It makes eating out sort of a pain though. :/

Green beans. I don't know what horrible event happened between me and them in my childhood, but the very sight of them makes me nauseous. Which, unsurprisingly, means I really hate those commercials that have the green bean casserole. Blech.
Celery. Okay, maybe not the taste of celery (not the best, but I've tasted worst), but something about the texture does not jive with me at all.
And most seafood: Do not want. The exception to the rule has been halibut...but it makes me sick after, so...yeah...no seafood for me.

I can eat anything. My only beefs, so to speak, are food that is too hard to eat or food that gives me a reaction of sorts unrelated to the taste of the food.
For instance, I can't stand any meat that's far too chewy and requires a really sharp knife to cut it into bite size pieces, crab and lobster (so much work for so little meat!) and avocados make the insides of my mouth itch and pineapples or really citric acidy fruits make my tongue awful sore.
I am often surprised at reading or hearing what other people don't like to eat. I mean, cheese? The thing that makes the difference between a toasted sandwich and an AWESOME toasted sandwich?
I can understand alot of your reasons though. For instance, I love mushrooms, but if it weren't for the fact I am far from a picky eater, I could give them up after watching a video on how Mushrooms are made. They are grown in a manner that is vile, disgusting, and would probably kill me if I walked in the room during the growing process. We end up with nice, cute mushroom heads that are all cut up and clean but dear ME there is a Zerg/Flood/Darkspawn mess that our mushrooms come from.
But when I eat at Sake Express, Mmmm, MMmm! Shitake goodness! With shrimp sauce!

I could never eat turkey. When I was young, I got sick shortly after a turkey meal and could never stand it after that. (That's called taste aversion, by the way. Your brain will make these kind of associations even when you know the food wasn't the cause.)
Being from a different country, my dad has been a window into the sort of food Americans find distressingly foreign (cow brain, intestines, the usual stuff; also the process itself of personally killing and preparing your food). Flan isn't conceptually disturbing--it's basically just dessert pudding--but my brother and I always hated the texture and referred to it as "phlegm." Also, once when my parents were dating, my dad made pig's feet. So sometime later, my mom decides to surprise him, but since she couldn't ask the one person she knew who could explain how to prepare them, she ended up, like, boiling them or something. Dad told her it they tasted like foot.

I agree with pancakes as well (and cheese, to an extent), though luckily we only ever have them once a year in my house, so they don't bother me much. As for the cheese, well I do actually like cheese, I just can't eat a lot of it. Melted and on burgers or pasta is fine, but when it comes in any kind of block form I can probably manage a small piece, after that it becomes disgustingly dry and overpowering.
I cannot stand any kind of blue cheese, which is just cheese with mold, which is just beyond wrong.
I also hate mushrooms. They are fungus people! That's fucking disgusting! You might as well get an infection on your foot and then suck your toes!

Well, just like plants, various types of fungi and molds can produce fatal toxins; it's just that people see the latter two as more likely to be deadly than plants.
Also, genuine fat choy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_choy_(vegetable)) is a vermicelli-like food made out of processed bacteria. The Chinese like to consume it on their New Year's day because the name sounds like the last two syllables of 恭喜发财 ("congratulations and be prosperous" in Cantonese). Not only does it have no nutritional value, but it can also contain toxic amino acids that affect nerve cells.
I think I've tried it a few times before. Or maybe it was fake fat choy that I've tried. Either way, it's bland, but the texture is nice.
Also, see this list (http://www.cracked.com/article_14979_the-6-most-terrifying-foods-in-world.html) and tell me if you think these are appetizing. Also also, I've tried balut.

On that subject. (www.thisiswhyyourefat.com)
you don't eat a steak completely raw either
But as close to it as you can manage.
I'm not too keen on cheese myself. The texture throws me off. Melted on pizza or as thin slices on a sandwich it can be pretty good, but there are hideous things floating around like (that probably excludes the specifically American grilled cheese sandwich, that one actually sounds pretty good but I never had one over here - one of these days I'll have to try and make one) or pizzas that amount to little more than a completely soaked crust with an inch of melted cheese on them which I will reject.
e: as for the pickle, I should maybe clarify that these aren't 'mine' in the sense of 'the pickles I make' but rather 'the pickles I found at the very end of the pickle aisle gathering dust that I bring to every gathering and that only I eat.' Although I probably should start making them myself because it doesn't seem like it would be difficult at all. Also the supermarket doesn't carry them anymore, reordered the shelves as soon as I'd bought the last jar and seems to be really glad someone finally took these off their hands.

Normally, I hate potato salad, but there's one that Roundy's (Pick 'n Save, Rainbow, Copps et al) carries, at least in my area, that is totally awesome. They call it "Steak House" potato salad, and it consists of chunked red potatoes, cheddar, bacon, and is light on the sauce. It's the most expensive, but it's worth it.
Conversely, there's another one that I just don't get why people like it. I think they call it "German" potato salad (it's been a while since I worked there or even looked at the stuff) and it's potato slices floating in a vinegar-based, gravy-like sauce. It tastes like eating vomit.

I'm not a particular fan of the regional specialties and what peoples seem to consider a "real meal" in general. This is what's generally served on sundays where I live.
A buncha roast meat drowned in sauces or meat boiled beyond any recognition also drowned in sauce. Guess why they drown it in sauce? Because it otherwise tastes like shit. The sauces aren't exatly my taste either.
I think we're long past the point where we have to use sauces to make meals edible. If anything a sauce should add to the taste, and not be all that's good about it. I could just drink the sauce if that were the case.
Then... potato dumplings. FREAKING. POTATO. DUMPLINGS.
Guess what? It doesn't taste bad, in fact, it doesn't taste much like anything. It's just there to absorb the goddamned sauce. This is justified I guess since that's really the purpose of the thing but I'm still considered weird for eating Müesli or a Sandwich instead. Because I enjoy their taste and it doesn't stink. RAAAAAAAARGH!
Fish.... fish.... fish.... I hate. Smell, texture, taste... hate.
Also Mayonaisse... what the hell? People eat this shit? I'd much rather stab myself with a rusty knife that has also been used to eat roast meat drowned in sauce and dumplings and fish.

What I truly despise are green and red bell peppers, I can't stand the smell or the taste, unless it's minced unto oblivion. Hell, I'll toss out leftovers that included peppers and I was able to eat because in the smell of the damn stuff permeates EVERYTHING when refrigerated. Exception: I like dried red pepper flakes on somethings.
Though I love the stuff, I'm surprised that no one's mentioned Spam. I shouldn't be surprised though, it's the bachelor food of the gods - versatile and tasty, and it's fucking ambrosia when fried.

1. Mushrooms. For a number reasons, including my burning hate of fungi.
2. The weird parts of animals (read: feet, eyes, organs, etc)
3. Canned tuna. Or really, any kind of fish that isn't sustainability harvested (Means I eat a lot less fish, especially since the local varieties are Hg++)
2 is really the only thing I have trouble eating outright. 1 I dislike, and will avoid buying/ordering, but if someone serves me mushrooms, I'm eating damn mushrooms. 3 is more of a moral/health choice; I mean, mercuried fish is still tasty, but I avoid it if at all possible.
Oh: one last thing.
Feta.
Fuck feta.
I lied.
Wigmund, have you tried Klik? Beef version of spam. Fry it with brown sugar and it's like goddamn bacon. A great camping food, given that preserved bacon (aka doesn't need a fridge) can be either gross or expensive or both.
Some great shit? 3 week old summer sausage. Eating the end of a palm-size sausage is a great way to round off a canoe trip.

I find fish and milk disgusting. Seafood in general, even. Don't like the smell, don't like the texture, and don't like the taste. I get weird looks about my not liking fish, since I'm from an area that to people who actually know where it is, they generally think that's all we eat.
And I can only have milk if it is at the perfect level of chocolatey. Too much chocolate and it's nasty, not enough and it's nasty.

I eat whole tins of the stuff. I can never eat enough spam. I wonder what that says about me...
Oh: one last thing.

Fuck feta.
Oh you did NOT just diss feta! Of all the cheeses that people could hate, feta is the nicest of them all! Throw a splash of vinegar over it and well... just try it. Words alone don't do it justice.
1. Mushrooms. For a number reasons, including my burning hate of fungi.
But how can you have wacky mushroom shenanigans without shrooooooooooooooms?
And brussel sprouts are abominable! Fuck you, Brussels!

Speaking of soup, apparently I've been having Neo Kobe Pizza (http://kotaku.com/252441/neo-kobe-pizza-in-7-simple-steps) before I realized it was called Neo Kobe Pizza (http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Snatcher/chapter26.html). Well, actually I just like to dip starchy foods (like dinner rolls or sandwiches) in whatever soup I can find. Steak sandwiches dipped in onion soup tastes great.

French Dip sandwich did it first, but that sounds pretty tasty.
Also, corn, mashed potatoes and mayonnaise on pizza is actually pretty awesome. I'm really surprised the Japanese thought that one up first.

I should mention that in Scotland they deep-fry bloody everything.
Deep-fried pizza nearly killed me and I am no ordinary man!
