Mine are brussels sprouts, beets, anchovies and livers

Not quite in the spirit of what you’ve asked, but I think this still applies:
Cold food. I have no problem with it. I get distracted by kids and my wife gets worked up about how I could come back to cold food and not heat it up. Doesn’t bother me.
Same food every day. I’ve spent years eating tuna sandwich and an apple for lunch every day of the working week. “Don’t you want variety?” Nope. I also used to bulk cook food. So even my dinner was the same every day. Didn’t bother me.

There are a lot of vegetables people don’t like because they are often prepared poorly. Brocolli, brussel sprouts, etc - seasoned and roasted, they’re great. Boiled to mush, not so much.

Brussels sprouts have also been bred over the last couple decades to be much less bitter and have generally a better flavour than what we’d have had as kids.

You’re right, they’re much more palatable these days. But even decades ago, roasting them with a liberal amount of salt, and maybe a bit of lemon juice on top, they were still decent. Boiled to mush with a single-digit number of grains of salt tastes bad regardless of the decade.
My theory is that back when most people smoked regularly, adults couldn’t taste anything and were generally not great in the kitchen because of it.
