Food quirks

[DD]

I'm putting this in the lounge, because it really has little to do with food and a whole lot to do with my idosyncrasies. People I work with gave me hell today, as usual, about some of these little oddities, so I thought I'd see what yours are. I know we've discussed before, but I'm old and I forget.

1. Pretzels. From my thread the other day. Don't like 'em. They're fillers.
2. Zucchini. It squeaks when you eat it.
3. Tomatoes on a hamburger or anything else hot. Hot tomatoes are slimy.
4. Raisins. Rabbit turds.
5. Boudain. Rice, meat. Unidentifiable meat. (sorry Skunky and RO)
6. Chicken with bones. Pretty much chicken in general. I don't care for chickens.
7. Turkey legs. Veins, tendons, bones.
8. Liver. Enough said
9. Beets. Pickled ones. Yuck.
10. Broccoli. It's too crunchy and doesn't even taste that good. Now, grind it up in some soup with cheese and it's pretty tasty.
11. Wheat bread. Cardboard, plain and simple.

I'm sure I'll think of more.​

I jump on this one...

I hate the smell of ranch dressing. It grosses me out so bad that it gags me to see YOU eats it...

Right. I have saved it for whenever I have her over for dinner.

True.dat


I don't like liver, brains, pickled pigs feet, pork skins, anchovies, sardines, herring, really live seafood (like dancing prawns, live fish on a skewer, walking lobster, live monkey brains that they serve in Japan), dark-meat chicken or turkey, turkey giblets, gristly beef cuts, stinky cheese, octopus, seaweed, boiled peanuts, beets.

man, these are all pretty good. I think I agree with everything except the broccoli. The rest are spot on! And I never could put my finger on the tomato thing but that's it!

1. Any sort of cooked fruit. Apple pie, Peach cobbler, etc.... I won't touch it.
2. Bananas. Unless they're mixed/cooked into something. (Kind of the opposite of my cooked fruit thing.
3. Anything that lives between two shells: clams, mussels, scallops. Oysters are the only exception.
4. Broccoli.
5. Zucchini or Squash. For the same reason DD mentioned: it makes funny noises when you eat it.
6. Beets.
7. Pineapple on pizza. For two reasons. 1: It's cooked fruit. 2: Fruit does not belong on pizza.

That's about it... there's really nothing else that bothers me. As long as it's cooked properly and doesn't taste like poo, I'm okay with it.
