I think that's what you would call it. If you have other non food oddities that are similar throw them in.

Example:

I don't like avocados but love guacamole. I like spaghetti and spaghetti sauce but I don't like them together.

I like pineapples, just not on pizza. I don't think that counts as an oddity though.

From my childhood- Milk and licorice don't go together.

I can't stand most veggies cooked but will eat them raw. Except for tomato's, If I eat them raw I get sick but if they're cooked in a sauce or something I fine with them and I like them.

My kids always hated tomatoes but loved ketchup.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of raw tomatoes, but love making my own tomato based pasta sauces.

As with a lot of people here I just can't do tomatoes. I'll eat them when mixed into a meal like chili, spaghetti sauce, I even love tomato soup. But when it comes to just eating tomatoes in a salad or on a burger and I just can't do it. I think it's a texture thing for me that fuels my hatred for tomatoes.

Have always had an aversion to tequila after having one of those tequila events but love rio's margaritas.

I love cereal and milk, but gag at the thought of drinking the milk when the cereal is gone.....

I hate mushrooms, but love that green been casserole with cream-of-mushroom soup and those crunchy onions. I'll eat a whole batch.

Don't drink the milk afterwards? WTF. That's the best part! I dated a girl way back when who had zero food aversions. I mean she would put anything in her mouth.

Food and sex. Can't be hungry and horny at the same time. Maybe I'm not good at multi-tasking? Hence, Hooters has zero appeal to me.

love banana flavoring, but have never been able to eat a banana...it's a texture thing

I'm with some of you on the tomato thing. I can't do tomatoes on anything. All I can taste is tomato and it ruins the taste.

I do however love tomato sauces and salsa.

Love mexican food, but HATE cilantro. One time I was a guest at an Asian house and they fed us bowls of pig brains with cilantro. The worst part was the cilantro!

Make up some mac&cheese. Right before digging in, I add a couple spoonfuls of applesauce. In a way this makes sense, cheese and apples are one of those traditional pairings. But I like it this way..

i made some potato pancakes.. didnt have any thing to put on it... so thought... peanut butter... was great, but needed some kind of kick- so i busted out the sriracha hot sauce. i still cant get anyone to try it, but its damn good.

I can eat very hot jalapenos, salsas, whatever, but if cilantro is cooked in soup it will burn the shit out of my mouth. Raw cilantro doesn't do this but I don't like the taste of it.

There is some really hot, pink horseradish (can't think of the name) that goes awesome with potato pancakes.

It's the crappy food and scary women for me.

This is kinda like the peanut sauce you get with spring rolls (the raw kind, not the deep fried kind). Mix some Sriracha in with the peanut sauce...yummy.

Like others I have a "raw is good, cooked is not" thing with spinach and carrots.

I like all food, no oddities that I can think of.

Maybe one of my wifes specialties, waffles and fried chicken w/ home made brown sugar and maple syrup.

Will not eat sushi, but will turn it into grilled fish then eat it.

Sushi is not food, it is bait.

Texturally just cant do mushrooms, eggplant, squash in any form, raw or cooked. Love mayonaise, gag at the thought of MiracleWhip. Cilantro is the worst of all, tastes like sucking on pennies. Can't do Ketchup on a HotDog. Beets ? Really? Garbonzo beans are weird textured legumes but I can eat em. Tomatoes in any form are all good. Love onions but wife won't eat them raw. Oysters in the half shell and raw eggs are too scary to even try. What is the gelatinous shit in Pecan Pie ? Dont like the fuzz on Peaches. After looking at my list, I feel like a picky eater but never considered myself one...

Guess I'm a weirdo, I'll eat damn near anything that'll make a turd. Very few things that I won't eat, like liver, raw oysters, raw eggs, mussels (love clams though), brie cheese, most "exotic" cheeses, brains and other organs (tripe - Jesus no!), kiwi fruit, a few other things, but not many.

I like chicken salad, tuna salad and egg salad sandwiches but can't eat them if there is any mayo spread on the bread. I have a friend that eats his french fries with mustard and puts 7UP in his Fat Tire.

I'm trying to think of things I won't eat. I don't like water chestnuts, egg nog, and coconut; but I'd eat any of those without hesitation if asked/dared. It's not that I can't eat them, I just don't like the taste.

Eggnog is best with Crown Royal in it!

Haggis, It is so good on saltine crackers. But I hate liver, or other animal innards.

Loved haggis. Had it with breakfast every morning when I was in Scotland.

Is he European? German's are big on mixing sodas with their beer.

Yea I found that odd when I was in Germany till I tried it. Still the strangest one over there was banana juice and hefe wiezen. I did enjoy it though, esp a Radler (lemonaid and pills) while skiing.

For me, I just can't do any sort of tequila... I think I am allergic to it.

I tried all the variants, with cola, with orange cola, sprite, lemonade. Just seemed crazy to me to put anything in beer. As for tequila, I wish I was allergic to it. Makes me do dumb shit and usually get sick.
