I don't like fruit as part of a main course (i.e. not a dessert) or appetizer. That doesn't make me a snob, it just means I don't think fruit belongs there and don't appreciate when it is.

No tomatoes? No salads with fruits? No Duck a l'Orange? No fried plantains?
Fried plantain is a dessert.
Plums in chicken? Orange in sauces? Pear in a salad? Pineapple on ham? Lemon in anything?
Not the person who said it first, but I dislike all of those things except lemon[1]. In addition, my wife likes cranberry preserves with poultry and applesauce with pork, both of which I find distasteful.

However pineapple with anything savory is by far the worst for me. I prefer to not even sit next to my wife and kids when they are eating pizza with pineapple on it because the smell from it is enough to throw the taste off.

1: Okay, there are some sauces that technically have some orange or orange juice in them, but have so many other ingredients that it really just adds the tiniest hint of tangyness. but e.g. duck a l'orange is too much orange for me.

I don't like these things, except perhaps for lemon juice in moderation (and even then, I prefer it in desserts).
I suppose you won't eat a pizza with that red berry paste on it then?
