What Won't You Eat?

hmmmm... well, we talk about everything under the sun around here dear, as you know little Miss Missy!

I get what you're saying though. that's why I'll eat almost any dam thing, except pickles. pickles aren't really a food.

now, I'm not saying I like Liver and Onions, but I would eat 'em. and have eaten 'em. will eat 'em again someday.

btw, did ya'll know jdarg won't eat avacado or guacamole because its green and looks like it "came out of someone's nose"... her own words. not mine.

I used to like guacamole until I read your post, Tootsie!

I think that might have done me in as well. :drool:

Did I really say that? I usually describe guacamole in terms of baby diapers...

It don't make me no nevermind; I'll eat avocados and guac regardless--it can't be ruined for me!

:lolabove:...not only that, but I have learned some new gross out tactics for my next visit. :wave:

Like put some baby corn in the guac?

:puke:
Peace, I'm out.

No matter how hard they try, they'll never ruin it for me either!! Just ignore them, dear! 😀

This is good question and got me thinking about why I like/don?t like certain foods. I grew up ?food-challenged,?...

What is vegemite...I heard it referenced in an 80's song once...but other than that...no idea

Once, I was at one of Fuzz's family reunions happily munching along until I bit into a piece of golden, beautiful fried chicken and IMMEDIATELY had the ants-in-mouth deal. I not-so-discreetly spit it out and handed the chicken to Fuzz, who is looking at me like "wth? It's CHICKEN for gods sakes!" So he bites into it and starts raving about how good it is, while I'm grabbing and gulping other people's tea in an attempt to wash away the burning. About that time, his little white-haired aunt walks up. "Isn't it good? You know what my secret is? I roll my chicken in PECAN MEAL !!" :yikes: :angry:

Maybe this would be a good topic for another thread, but I wonder how many "foodies" grew up in food-challenged circumstances. My mother could cook three things, none of them very well. She augmented her rather sad repertoire with frequent (4+ a week) trips to McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, Mrs. Winner's, and Captain D's. By fifth grade, I refused to eat hamburgers. By junior high, I was watching PBS all day on Sunday to teach myself how to cook. My dad was a very good sport about taking me to the grocery store (my mom, who's been a size six all my life, kept only Little Debbies, ice cream, pickles, hot dogs, bread, and milk on hand).

Punzy, this is exactly why mr. dd won't eat certain foods. He says his mom cooked rice and pasta with absolutely NO seasoning--no salt, no pepper, no butter much less a sauce of any kind. Soooooo....today, he won't eat rice or pasta. :bang:

black licorice or black jelly beans:puke:

MANgo's mother wasn't much of a cook either, no seasonings, sauce and the like, so he just ate at his friends houses. :lol:

i will, under no circumstance (and i'm definitely an eater) eat -

black licorice or black jelly beans:puke:
olives
cola flavored anything (coca-cola, pepsi, shasta, etc) UNLESS it has a lot of good liquor paired with it

What about vodka with olives? Or gin? Maybe your not a martini gull.

vodka, yes. olives, no way. no dirty martinis for me.
