Ditto. That nasty kale and purple stuff can go take a flying leap, for all I care.
How about foods you've tried once or twice that you'll never eat again.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but if you put it in the freezer for a day or two, it gets much less bitter. Lots of home gardeners just wait until after the first frost to harvest their kale. I like it in some soups. It does have to be cut into small enough pieces. No one wants to chew on a big, tough piece of kale.
Canned salmon.
My DH is red-green colour blind. I don't buy red lettuce anymore. To him, it just looks like it has gone off. I can imagine it must look horrid to someone who is red-green colour blind.That purple stuff is full of anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant!I remember the first time I got red sails lettuce and put it in a salad. DH thought it was going bad
I tried poke once. I found it boring and lacking in flavour.

Yep
We always waited till the first frost...
Then ate mashed with potatoes and rookworst (sausage). With jus (gravy) and a bit of vinegar.
I liked it, but not 3x a week trying to get rid of the harvest
I thought it was more Norwegian than Swedish. My dad was born and raised in Sweden, so I like most Swedish food. The weird one that I want to try is surströmning, fermented herring. I know people who really enjoy it.

Just answering the question ☺
Just adding my humble sentiments on the question.

I haven't actually eaten it because the mere sight of it puts me off--chicken fried steak with that goopy white "gravy" on it. If it's ever made the national dish of Texas, I'm moving!

Mmmmmm, yum.
If you don't like chicken fried steak, you haven't had a proper chicken fried steak. There are a lot of ways to make it badly. But, when it is done right, it is awesome.
BTW, the state dish of Texas is Chili.

Casey, just the way chicken fried steak looks puts it on my never list. It may taste okay, but I don't think I could choke it down.
Chili may be the state dish, but I was talking about "national", like Lone Star beer is the national beer of Texas!

Try a different recipe. I'll see if I can find the one we've made a couple of times. We both liked it. I think it was a Bon Appetit recipe.

I have to agree with CD. Chicken fried steak is fantastic when done correctly, regardless of the appearance of the white gravy.
Texas is a state in the nation of the United States; therefore, by definition, it can only have a "state" dish.

I like it ok, but the texture is gross.
I also like Durien and eat herring for breakfast
about Lutefiske
I first heard about it in Denmark. In a restaurant with parents. No, I didn't try it.
I always just assumed it was something available in all the Nordic countries.
and according to Wiki:
Lutefisk is prepared as a seafood dish of several Nordic countries. It is traditionally part of the Christmas feasts Norwegian julebord, Swedish julbord, and Finnish joulupöytä.[2]
See this thread.
Poke
K-girl got me interested in poke and then the Feb 2017 Bon Appetit had several recipes so we decided to try some of them. I've also added in subs and comments for those not familiar with Asian ingredients and a few tips on going to the Asian market at the bottom. The first one we tried was...

I also have a recipe we liked using hogfish, which is a thin, firm, white fillet that is very mild tasting, or a similar fish. It also uses jasmine rice, coconut cream (not the sweet drink stuff), jalapeno, macadamias or cashews among other things. I can post if you want.

I've made it a few times at home. I varied the recipe to make sausage gravy to top the CFS with.
