Boiled ham.
Roasted ham is fine, or any other variation of pork products but I could never take to boiled ham for some reason.

Re: Common food you will not eat
When I was a child I did not eat fish. (prawns on the other hand 
)
Nor haricot verts, aubergines, peppers, bananas, all sweets, chocolates, soups, raw tomatoes, mushrooms, ham, gammon and bacon, or cabbage. I was also not fond of potatoes other than in chips form, although I could be persuaded to have a few forkfuls. It was the 1980s so I don't remember avocados existing, at least we just never had them at home. Hated Indian food or anything spicy (but loved coronation chicken).
As an adult I rarely eat fish (prawns on the other hand), bananas, aubergines, avocados, sweets and chocolate. Still don't like Indian or strong spices.
I love, however, haricot verts and everything else green, and happily eat ham and gammon and bacon and soups (and love ham in soup). Mushrooms and raw tomatoes? Pile 'em on. I have the same indifference to potatoes other than chips but can be persuaded to eat them. Still love coronation chicken and would take it over any so called authentic curry any day.

Re: Common food you will not eat
Genetics causes a number of odd things, some people who eat beetroot will have red pee for a while after, most do not and that's due to the fact they ones who pee red are missing an enzyme that decolourises the beetroot juice.

Re: Common food you will not eat
Just done a search and it's not genetic, but is apparent in certain individuals and thought to be caused by a lack of stomach acid, in fact when I worked in a lab and we got a sample referred for 'blood in urine tests' if the sample was red and CLEAR, the firsg thing we did was to take a small amount and add acid, if it went clear then it wasn't blood, always started up in spring when people started eating salad again.
Article here on it, and on why Asparagus makes some people's pee smell disgusting.
