I like sweet potato pie, but the potatoes themselves? Eh. Can't eat oranges (or drink orange juice) because they give me killer heartburn. Not crazy about most greens other than spinach (collards, mustard greens, stuff like that).
A vegetable I do like that a lot of people don't are beets
Pretty much all fruits except bananas. Can't stand them. Peaches are OK but I don't like their texture. Plums and nectarines are much better. Best fruits are cherries and honeydew.
Spinach can be pretty cook with right seasoning. Others are pretty neutral but eat to balance the meal. Don't particularly care for broccoli even they put so much in some of my favorite Chinese dishes. Bury the taste with the sauce in those dishes.
VERY lightly sauteed in a bit of olive oil with garlic is delicious, but just for less than a minute so it doesn't get soggy. It's easy to screw it up.

Pomegranate...I never understood the infatuation that grew over the last decade other than it adds a pretty color to girls drinks.
I'm actually not a huge fan of strawberries but moreso because of the fact that what is made available are so bastardized for mass consumption that they don't taste right. Directly from the vine is another story.
I struggle to think of a vegetable I don't like. I make some manner of roasted vegetables at least twice a week in the fall/winter and the same with slaws in the spring and fall.
Cauliflower isn't my favorite, but I can think of a few ways to prepare that aren't too bad. Just about every veggie seems to have a redeeming preparation behind it, and there are quite a few that should be nasty right from the jump (kale, okra, cauliflower, etc.).
I think there was a study done that says that some people can't stand cilantro because of their genetics...which is pretty crazy if you ask me. I would love to say "I can't eat that because I was born not to like it..."
As for the OP, I'm good with any veggies and fruits. It's all in the way you cook them...and I can make a mean sautéed brussel sprouts with sundried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
like aspirin, can't even eat them with cheese sauce.
I don't like baked potatoes (if those count), but I like mashed and french fries, so maybe that's just my weirdness.
I don't like beets, peas, turnips, squash, zucchini, some beans like lima beans,
the only fruits I don't like are
limes (can't stand anything with limes, if at a bar they accidentally put a lime in my vodka and club soda (if that's what I'm drinking) it has to go back,
and tomatoes. I can eat tomato-based sauces, just don't like tomatoes in a salad.
eggs, steak, and lobster all day, but I want to live to see 50 (at least), so I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. I can't say I really dislike any of them, but if health was not a factor, I wouldn't eat them nearly as much. I'm eating my lunch of black beans, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, and a handful of almonds right now (with a apple for dessert). Yum? :(
They eat all kind of weird, random plants they find while wandering through the woods. I'm surprised they're not dead yet.
Those fuckers are everywhere now, and the fact that we haven't heard of a mass poisoning is surprising to me too.
Right on the service road to the BQE there's a ton of weeds growing on the ramp. There are signs - 'do not consume', signs for rat poison warnings, etc. - doesn't stop people from picking them constantly (and making the occasional inadvertent target for those exiting the BQE).
I like things cooked in onions (so it's onion-flavored), but not the onions themselves. And it's just the opposite with bananas. I like bananas, but don't like things that are banana-flavored.

fruits? not a fan of bananas, especially the smell
Most other stuff can be good, if cooked the right way.
And I cant eat bananas. I have tried and tried and tried, and I just cant get into them. Grapefruit is nasty too.
Asparagus is great when you toss it with EVOO and salt and pepper
Spinach can be pretty cook with right seasoning. Others are pretty neutral but eat to balance the meal. Don't particularly care for broccoli even they put so much in some of my favorite Chinese dishes. Bury the taste with the sauce in those dishes.
Everything with garlic and oil is delicious
A lot depends on the freshness and with vegetables how well they are cooked.

Peas are awesome. Fuck you.

Corrected your statement.
Me too...it has a unique flavor that just compliments some food very well.
