As a staple in many vegetarian and vegan diets, tofu has become a popular protein source for those who opt for a meat-free lifestyle. However, for those who aren’t used to the taste and texture, it can be quite unappetizing.
Cilantro is a polarizing herb that people either love or hate. Those who enjoy it claim that it adds a fresh and zesty flavor to any dish, while others describe it as tasting like soap or even bugs.
Hailing from Australia, Vegemite is a popular spread made from yeast extract that’s often enjoyed on toast or crackers. However, many non-Australians find the flavor to be overpowering and unappetizing.

Sardines are a type of small fish that are often enjoyed canned in oil or water. While some people love the salty and fishy taste, others find it overpowering and unpleasant.
