Why do two things that taste great on their own (such as chocolate or cheese), taste horrible when you combine the two?

I mean, I wouldn’t eat chocolate covered cheese, but I could eat a whole bar of chocolate or a piece of cheese on their own. What exactly makes them taste horrible when you put them together?

This is such a subejctive question and therefore really hard to answer.
Firstly, there are a lot of people who quite like combinations like that such as ice cream and chips/fries. On the other hand do chocolate and cheese both get their “deliciousness” from very tiny flavours and tastes (sry this part is hard to put in words for me) so their special taste is basically gone when combined with something that does not compliment these flavours.
