OREOS??????
Hate them. I pack them in lunches every day, and there is probably nothing in my kitchen less tempting to me than Oreos.
I love chocolate, but I hate almost everything that is chocolate-flavored. Why eat something that tastes like chocolate when the real thing is so much better?
excellent question my mermaid!!!
I'll eat anything almost. except:
cucumbers, pickles or anything pickled
raw celery
raw carrots
I think I'll eat anything other than those few thingies. as long as its good.
like paula, I love food and can just cry over really good food.
Hominy, beets, and brussels sprouts. They all taste too strong.
OK! Everything not on my list!
BTW- cantaloupe makes Bdarg and Punzy's mouths itch. Has anybody ever heard of this, or are they just strange?
The look on her face when she offered me cantaloupe and I explained the mouth itch thing...it was priceless. I think she'd been convinced for years that BDarg was making the itching up.
There is nothing worse than the roof of your mouth itching...that's one itch you really can't scratch.
Pecans / walnuts / almonds / tree nuts - I am allergic, as evidenced by a burning sensation in mouth/throat. I can't just scrape them off the top, as they release an oil as they cook that permeates the foot. This only started when I was 21 or 22, and this is why I tend to stare at desserts before trying one.
And an oddity about me - while I like pork tenderloin roast, and I adore a pork chop grilled with Dale's, or even a fried one, I can't do a baked pork chop. There is just a taste about it that I can't handle.
Oh my gosh, me too! On both of these things! Except the nuts make my throat and tongue swell and I can't breathe and die. I don't like any pork that retains it's porky taste. Even barbecue must be bathed in Chicken Comer sauce to be acceptable.
I also can't eat chicken legs, or anything where the anatomy of the animal is so clearly visible. Just thinking of chicken leg tendons makes my stomach turn.
offal of any variety
game meats
blood pudding or boudin noir
lamb
peanut butter
any jelly except Bonne Maman blueberry
fruit
sage
cinnamon (American variety)
herbes de Provence
As for all you crazy beet haters...have you ever tried real beets? They are manna from heaven! I thought I didn't like beets for years, and would always tell people I loved all vegetables except beets. Then I was in the hospital for a while they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me and put me on the clear foods diet....on the eighth day they let me have regular food and I've never been more excited about a meal...until the nurse brought the tray and there sat a dark quarter baked chicken, some beets, some canned pears, and a roll. I ate the roll, and then forced myself to try the beets. Oh, yummy beets.
Beets Everyone loves:
One bunch fresh beets from the produce section
a clove of garlic for each beet
sea salt
fresh ground pepper
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
Wash the beets and cut off tops and root. Poke a few holes in the beet with a fork. Place it on a square of aluminum foil with a clove of garlic and then sprinkle liberally with the other ingredients. Wrap tightly and bake in a 425 degree oven for about an hour.
Try it, you wusses.
punzy, your praise of beets is so timely--tonight we're having dinner at my favorite restaurant, and one of the things I'm most looking forward to is their roasted beet appetizer. Manna is right!
Hate chicken legs, too. Never could eat them, can't even watch my kids eating them.

I bet you are right.

ok, I will try almost anything...so, when is dinner???

Punzy! I won't do chicken legs either--bones, but I always have hated the legs especially because of the tendony thing. Those veins and tendons just sorta snap back atcha when you take a bite!
I'll try your beets. They are not nearly as offensive to me as lots of other things.

Cantalope, sugar snap peas and carrots make my mouth itch! Same with Sam. I always assumed it was an allergy. Oh, and some tree fruits depending on the season.
