Sriracha with wasabi sauce, Sriracha with garlic sauce are our go to food revvas
Fresh Wasabi on Costco Maki sushi rolls while we drive back from Glasgow by the rest & be thankful, Bob Marley played loud then into the Oban inn for pints of Fyne ales Yarl.
I went pescatarian four years ago. Meat stinks to me, can't stand the fat and grease, but I still butcher and cook it for other buggers to scoff

Like, herring in vinegar?

Is that genuine Japanese Wasabi? 99% of the stuff sold in UK is horseradish and green dye. Some have a tiny percentage of real Wasabi.

Yeah, it's practically impossible to get real wasabi over here, and if it comes out of a package you may as well eat the fake stuff anyway as the real thing has to be served immediately after it's grated. I lived in Japan for a few years and I can't remember ever having the real thing.
That had occurred to me...we have some horse radish on the allotment.

Keng Phet is excellent, but a good fish&chips can make my day too (a GOOD one, not a regular).
Hell: mussels and calamari (prolly snails and insects too). I eat mostly everything without complaints though, I had a proper upbringing.

Wow, I believe it's really tricky to grow - I visited a wasabi farm near Matsumoto, and they had to grow it in shaded running water if I remember right!
Get selling it to local Japanese restaurants. I'll bet you'd make a decent bit of cash.

Heaven: Anything from the sea. Mussels, squid, octopus, crab, lobster, anchovies, mackerel.
Hell: Coffee is pretty much the only thing I struggle with and that's more to do with aroma.

Food hell is an easy one: every form of beetroot. Is isn't that I don't like the taste, which I find very good, but unfortunately I get an allergic reaction to them!
Food heaven is harder as I like just about everything. If I had to choose something it would be anything made with BEER.
With one to chase it down of course!

There isn't much / anything I won't eat. I do have a few things that whilst I'd tolerate them I wouldn't necessarily choose to eat them, broad beans and melon which I just find a bit bland and pointless being on that list. Like the OP I used to dislike beetroot but I've kind of come round to it. The wife on the other hand... won't eat any fish or seafood, hates mushrooms, and has got many other odd things going on with food. Funny thing is she has an allotment, grows all the standard stuff and most of the things that are easy to grow / crop well she's really not that bigger fan of so we have loads of courgettes, runner beans and other stuff around that just ends up back on the compost heap as it's to much for the kids and I to consume. A lot of chutney also gets made with it.
So, heaven, either a well cooked (but not well done) steak with all the trimmings or a nice piece of fish (any). Do love a good fish and chips too.
Hell, anything involving broad beans.

Broad beans grow on you. They make a great rissotto! Either very fresh or frozen.
I love roast tatties and roasted beetroot, but beetroot juice gives me a bad reaction and feels as if I have swallowed razor blades. Apparently it's very high in nitrates.

At the moment I'm having trouble with me gall stones so basically anything tasty I'm not allowed to eat (anything with fat in it). It's gotten so bad that even salad is starting to taste good!
But:
Heaven: Liver, mash and onion gravy, meat pies, proper Indian curry, pasta with a decent sauce, blue cheese and branston sarnies, pancakes with salted butter and golden syrup. Fried buttered bread!
Hell: Beetroot (soil), celery, brains on toast (I sh*t you not, my Mrs made me eat it once!)

+1 for broad beans especially if they're home grown, picked before they get too big.
Being another non meat eater, I find there's a lot more on offer in non European cuisine than regular European. Got a bit of a thing for Mexican at the mo.
Food hell: other than meat stuff there's not a lot I can think of. My wife cannot stand raw or boiled onions, they have to be sliced ultra fine and fried to a mulch. Once went to a party where a joker had prepare a carrot and onion trifle (yes, custard and cream, the lot). That was not a pretty sight.
