I love horseradish sauce.
I really like the taste of cough medicine and pretty much any digestif/amaro/bitters you put in front of me.
I could sip Malort neat and be happy as a clam, but on the rocks dilutes the sweetness a bit.

I love most bitter liquors and spicy foods
Chia seeds. I was very surprised about the revulsion people have towards them.
People don't like liver?
Then liver I guess! Veal-liver with madeira sauce is the shit!

Brussel sprouts, boiled is fine. I have them every day.
Green olives. I guess some people don't like them.
I use to not like cranberry sauce, I liked it as I got older, but I don't eat it anymore, way too much sugar.
I don't know very well what other people don't like. I'm surprised by most of the things already listed in the comments, apart from canned fish and liver. I don't like seafood, except for salmon and crab, so there's a whole bunch of food other people like that I don't.
Brussel sprouts, but roasted in a pan with oil
Asparagus, prepared the same way
Raw radishes
Raw celery, sometimes with peanut butter
Raw broccoli
Lemon slices that come with your water at the restaurant
Grapefruit

Brussels, anchovies, kimchi and mushrooms. Never tried liver. I'll have to put it on my list.
Fruits with chocolate, like in Pim's biscuits. I love it and I don't think I've met anyone who does not hate it.
Also I love fruits on pizza (including pineapple) so I guess I'm weird.

American cheese.
I say this as someone that much prefers the expensive aged stuff. Once I learned that it's just cheddar with sodium citrate in it, I saw it for what it was: enhanced for things that normal cheese can't do. Granted, it's not top-shelf cheese by any measure; you wouldn't put this anywhere near a charcuterie board. That said, it works great as a cooking ingredient.
Also: I'm going to guess that not many would like salty licorice. I once had a bad head cold and took some of those I picked up in Iceland to help with the symptoms. They were just the thing to keep my sinuses clear.
Cabbage, Bovril spread on toast, haggis, black pudding.
Natto. Only had it once in Japan but I found it pretty nice.
Green olives. Love eating them as a snack. Black olives are for weaklings.

Candy corn
Peeps
Sweethearts at Valentines Day
Pineapple on pizza
I’ve always loved mushrooms. Even as a kid cream of mushroom soup was my favorite.
Also like black licorice/ jelly beans
And I really like mustards. My Burger King order in the 70s was “mustard only”. I currently have 8 different mustards in my fridge.

Same for me, minus the anchovies (but plus "Kieler Sprotten").
Also, I like the regional tradition of combining sweet with savory dishes, which really raises the eyebrows of people from other regions.
Think e.g. Lentil soup with waffles, Spaghetti Bolognese with sweet canned peaches, Scharles (a regional pie made of potatoes, different kind of meat, some vegetable like leek) with apple compote.
Damn, and now I am hungry!
