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).
Vegemite and Marmite are both spreads made from yeast extract that is eaten on toast. Australians like Vegemite, Britons like Marmite. They are both vile.
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 !!":angry:
I was almost killed at my brother's wedding. They passed these wonderful looking bite-size tomato sandwiches. It looked like a tomato slice on a bread round with some mayo type spread and a little herb garnish. I popped one in my mouth...and surprise...under the tomato was a pecan half.
i will, under no circumstance (and i'm definitely an eater) eat -
black licorice or black jelly beans
olives
cola flavored anything (coca-cola, pepsi, shasta, etc) UNLESS it has a lot of good liquor paired with it

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.

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

I guess I'm just grateful my grandmother (with whom I lived) was a great cook!

What about vodka with olives? Or gin? Maybe your not a martini gull.
vodka, yes. olives, no way. no dirty martinis for me.
