Cumin
It's horrendous it seems to be in everything as a major ingredient
Chilli powder you would think it would be chilli as the first or only ingredient but no bloody cumin!

Curry powder cumin!
Anything that's curried/spiced just tastes of cumin.

Coffee no cumin but how can anyone drink that foul concoction so bitter. I love the smell of it though same with tea I don't like it (except ice tea or tea lemonade etc) but love the smell

Coriander, absolutely disgusting stuff which seems to have crept into all sorts of dishes. It’s like eating a bar of cheap soap.

I cannot think of any ingredient that I don't actually like, obviously there are certain foods that I'm not keen on but herbs and spices, nope.

Coffee is awesome, if yours is bitter then get a better quality coffee, not keen on tea, haven't drunk it for decades, I just find it a bit meh and not a fan of milk.

Coriander is a funny one, many people have a weird taste thing with the stuff, I love it, but some people taste something completely different, an ex boyfriend of my youngest tasted metal whenever he ate it.

I will eat pretty much anything as I realize it's mind over matter usually as in it's more influence from others that inform your choice if you like things or not and actually very few things are scientifically backed as people not liking them (eg sprouts)

Yeah I don't mind it at all

The coriander tasting like soap thing is medically recognised. It’s a genetic difference that means the taste receptors that pick up the soapy flavour over ride anything else.

I’m not big on anything really slimy, Aubergine, Natto etc.

I too have noticed it starting to creep into almost everything. Its very annoying as often isn't mentioned on the ingredients list if eating out. Tastes like chlorine to me, pool water concentrated about 100x. Even a tiny amount completely ruins a meal, very frustrating

Truffle. I've had it served in many dishes hoping to find a way to enjoy it but no, it always tastes like the floor of a pig sty.

Dill! Don't know why. Very few flavours I dislike, but that's one of them! Great way to ruin a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich.

Love the funk of truffles and blue cheese the stronger the better (never been known to just eat a wedge of really strong blue because it's there)

Celery, it’s the devil. Have to be careful buying vegetable stock.

Truffle oil (more so artificial stuff)
