Not sure if I'll get up to 10 so will have to add as I go along.
1. salmon all kinds 2. Chocolate and peanuts/peanut butter. I like them separately but mixed is wrong. 3. Watching sports, I'm mostly indifferent but wouldn't choose to watch.
Off to check your lists to see what to add ...

Fancy dress/costume parties (reminded of this as Halloween is approaching).
The idea of silent discos (never been to one, have no desire to).

Must be difficult living in that part of the world! Luckily there are other things to eat but people do struggle to understand. I'm not a big fan of fish generally but salmon is the one that I really can't force myself to eat. Scottish relatives also despair of me.

I love costume parties but only when there's some kind of guidelines. Just "costume" isn't good enough; I hate showing up in some kind of high-concept thing when everyone else is a ghost or whatever.

Just about all the stuff listed I don’t mind doing/eating (I’m rather flexible with just about everything!) but being in large crowds (especially in enclosed areas) is one of the few things I get heebie-jeebies about.. I can handle theatre events as the entrance/exit way is generally gradual and well marked and many of them.. but crowded clubs, bars… it is a challenge.

I don't have the creativity to come up with costumes.

With guidelines I think it's easier? Like if it's "a book you like," you could dress as one of the characters. Or "a holiday," you could go as Father Christmas or whatever. It's the open-ended stuff that's terrible, like ok I'll just put a sheet over my head and be a ghost.
Once we went to a party where it was "a book you hate," so I made one of those chemical molecule models into a hat and went as my organic chemistry text.

So very wrong. Also sports. Except tennis. Sometimes.

Any kind of party that involves dressing up is one I won't go to. Hate it with a passion, zero inspiration for it, grew out of it before I was 10 years old. Can't see the fun at all.

The dressing up thing is currently a source of annoyance.
I'm going away soon to a weekend, which will be lots of fun (lots of nice people), and the weekend is called 'Chaos at the Castle', so I assumed that would be the dress-up theme on the Saturday so, unlike usually, where I just try to use stuff I already have I decided to get a Minerva McGonnagle costume and use it for World Book Day as well (the weekend got moved from February to October, so this all made much more sense initially).
And NOW they've announced that the theme is Kings and Queens of Pop, Rock and Roll or something, which leaves me with no idea what I'm doing. And I might just wear my costume anyway, although open to suggestions for EASY adaptations. It strikes me as more plausible for the theme than my previous World Book Day costume, which was The Cat in the Hat.
Or someone can tell me how to dress as Elvis before the awful 70s sparkly jumpsuit stuff.

Assuming that a costume worn by someone as Minerva McGonnagle would be vaguely witchy/medieval (dunno who that is, feeling too lazy to look it up), you could say you're Stevie Nicks - she wore those drapey kinds of things.

Ditto ziplining! OK, I've never done it, but it seems like a waste of nice tropical habitat. Riding around at high speed on some dangerous-looking contraption when you could be looking at all the cool birds and insects and plants and stuff.

Yes tay tay is Taylor Swift.
Ziplining seems like a great way to make your girl bits hurt. Plus what can you really observe going that fast? I had an opportunity in Ecuador and passed. My mind was working out the closest medical facility. It was after the ridiculously crazy white water rafting in innertubes.
