Ah, broccoli, the appointed villain in many kids' shows or games. In America, broccoli is pretty widely hated, especially among the younger crowd, and in a certain way, that’s pretty unfair.

Onions are quite the divisive bit of food. Stingy, sharp, and definitely versed in making grown adults cry, many people despise the onion. What’s funny, though, is that onions and garlic are the base of flavor for 99% of the dishes we know and love.
Looking somewhat like tiny green brains, Brussel sprouts have long been derided at the family dinner table. They’re kinda like cabbages, but taste pretty bitter and smell funny, all in all, an off-putting composition.

Okras are a little bit like if a green bean and slime had a baby. Hard to cook in the right way and easily tasting like alien tentacles, even their vaguely star-like shape can’t save okras from being a pretty hard sell among people, despite their nutritious benefits.

Excluding maybe Rapunzel’s mother, turnips are no one's favorite root veggie. Neither golden nor soft like potatoes, it lives in the eternal shadow of its infinitely more popular cousin, despite the fact it has just as many benefits and half of the potatoes' calories.

Take grapes, but make them tiny, wrinkled, and sourer. That’s the philosophy behind raisins, and it's no wonder they’re not a hit with the younger folk.
Blue cheese is certainly not for everybody. The fact that its strong flavor is a result of months of careful mold growing inside the cheese doesn’t really help its case for some, but it is quite nutritious and has a lot of calcium.
Anchovies are neither popular nor pretty; it’s hard to find someone who is inspired by a jar of steel gray big-eyed fishes staring right through you.
Another polemic and divisive player, olives have as many haters as they have lovers, if the pile of olive slices frustratedly pulled off of pizzas, pastries, salads, and sandwiches is anything to go by.
To add a little spook, we’re giving candy corn a special most-hated Halloween-candy category in our most hated foods list. This orangeade tricolor triangle might be a marker of the autumnal season and Halloween celebrations.
