Incompatible Food Triad

This is pretty good. Are there any three foods such that any two of them taste good together, but all three of them at once are disgusting? I can't think of any. The salted cucumbers / yogurt / sugar example almost works, but I think it equivocates on the definition of "salted cucumber". Pickles are not just salted cucumbers.

Most of the other triplets of foods he gives sound pretty good together. Except for the tonic water one, which is disgusting because tonic water is disgusting. Of course, as I argued here, any three foods will go together, if you adopt the right (wrong) attitude. So maybe the puzzle is unsolveable.
