I find sauerkraut disgusting. I'm not embarrassed by this I just needed to say it out loud somewhere again.
I also find sauerkraut disgusting.
However, I quite enjoy coleslaw and will often form a strong opinion of a cook or a restaurant based largely on how they prepare coleslay. No, no, no oranges or apples in your coleslaw. And I will f!cking fork you if I find a Cos'damned raisin in there.

Popsicles are a no go for me, especially orange, you might as well call it triaminic flavored.
Yuck!

I highly advise staying out of Florida then. If roaches get to you, you do not want to see a palmetto bug. Do not Google them either.
Palmetto bugs look like they escaped from a secret Monsanto genetic facility, where scientists are trying to breed roaches that can be used as pack animals.

I haven't eaten a hot dog in over 20 years.
Your body is probably better for it.

I live in Houston, where I am regularly the hero of my family because I will confront any cockroaches, living or dead. Undead, too, I guess; I'll let you know.
Anyway, so of course I Googled "palmetto bug." They are... substantial.

I was a geography savant when I was in 1st/2nd/3rd grade. There were very few countries I couldn't immediately name the capital of when asked.
But then people found out they could flummox me by asking about the capital of Tahiti....
^
the embarrassing part
I had no idea I lived in a country where most people had problems with geography until circa middle school - and it still feels a bit like 'WTF, how could you have trouble with THIS???'.

Other then drivers ed, when I was 23.
My brother dropped the clutch on my parents car right before I turned 16 so I didn't ever get to actually drive unless it was the drivers ed car.

I have been extremely unenthused by chili, ranking it somewhere around meatloaf. I will eat it if I'm very hungry and there is family/peer pressure to partake in it (like when Mom makes it); otherwise, I avoid it. Mom and Dad love it (and meatloaf).
I'm going through a couple dozen recipes today and attempting to Frankenstein/Brundlefly a chili recipe with some Cos'damned flavor, yet still mild enough not to freak out Mom's & Dad's tastebuds.

When I was a child, I was so painfully shy that I ended up in many quite miserable situations, the most memorable being:
At the Fourth of July picnic in the park, there was a snow cone stand. I loved snow cones, so I got some money from my father and dutifully stood in line. And after waiting maybe 10-15 minutes I finally got to the front and the cashiers ignored me, as did the people behind me. So I just stood there in shock, money in hand, as I was too terrified to speak up and hence could not get a snow cone, since no one cared about the little boy in their midst.
I started sobbing and went back to my father, who proceeded to tell me that it was my own fault for not speaking up for myself. Thanks, Dad!
So yeah, if you ever wonder why I'm the over-the-top, has-no-shame person I am today, look to my childhood. Shyness sucks.
