Same. Bell peppers, coriander, cucumber, olives (and by extension, olive oil), salmon (most fish, really), mustard are all things in loads of different foods. But even the hint of them ruins the meal for me. And no, I can't just pick it out or eat around it. Even if I wanted to desconstruct my dinner like a bomb disposal expert, everything else now taste of those things, which make me wretch.
I'm 40 years old, I have tried all these things. I wish I did like them, but I think I know by now what I do or do not like.
I get real anxiety when going out for dinner with groups of friends (something which is rare these days) as they will want to get a whole mix of things and share. So I know that I am not going to be able to eat 80% of what's on the table. Which I feel is unfair. And because I'm a fat bastard, I usually come away hungry and annoyed. But then I get looks and mutterings of disdain when I order something for myself.
