Well?

For me, it's cabbage.

What food(s) do you hate?

brussel sprouts, zucchini, squash, spinach

Hmm, squash is one of the only yellow foods that I can tolerate. I like spinach too, but I agree with you about the zucchini and the brussel sprouts. I abosolutely hate asparagus. Cherry pie and fish mixed together in one meal is the work of Satan.

Hmmmm.....I have a feeling there is a story that is begging to be told right there.

That is classified information.

(Ok, we went over to one of our family reunions and that's one of the things that was being served. Unfortunately, severel people got food posioning, just like at all the reunions)

Aspic! Yuk!

So I'm guessing that it was the fish that did the poisoning and the cherry pie just happened to get in the way?????

Danlo, yes aspic, YUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"let's go 2 gramma's!" "Oh great I get 2 hurl aspic 4 3 days straight..." (that's ALL she ever served! talk about ur childhood traumas!)

Yup, that's about it. Lucky me, I didn't eat much of the evil fish.

Grandmothers have a lot to answer for when it comes to childhood food traumas!!!!! My Nanna used to make me eat tripe and onions!!!!!! Needless to say,

Spoiler

it when down then came straight back up again

. Thinking about tripe still causes a gagging reflex in me.

Can't stand anything that tastes like viniger. And tomatoes are icky and squishy and just tasteless altogether.

Infelice:

tripe and onions. makes me gag just thinking about it. Never even saw tripe, either.

I...hate...oatmeal.

Haggis sounds digusting. Just the word...haggis. Blech. Never tried it tho.

It's amazing how the galley (ship's cafeteria) can ruin perfectly easy, tasty meals. Meatballs, for instance (guess what was for lunch today). They somehow created a barbecue sauce not fit for human consumption and just slathered it onto the meatballs.

They can make a decent marinara for the veal parmesian and spaghetti they serve every three days or so, but they can't seem to do the same for pizza on saturdays (remember your school's cafeteria's pizza... it's like that).

The funny thing is, after you've been eating nothing but the galley food for a week or so, most of it doesn't seem that bad (some things dulled taste buds can't even fix... like Chicken ala King that tasted like fish).

I don't like a whole lot of green vegetables such as peas and brussel sprouts (the worst, as they taste like old socks... worse, since I can put old socks in my mouth without gagging), but I do really like asparagus (I cuss, you cuss, we all cuss for asparagus... even better if you go hunting for wild asparagus) and artichokes.

I usually can't eat fish, though I've found that the less it's cooked (breading and overcooking really brings out the nasty fish taste), the better it is. I've discovered I actually like sushi.

You are one of the lucky ones Dromond.

What's tripe?

Tripe is the stomach of a cow. I can't go into further detail as my gagging reflex will kick in.

Lima beans. I never could eat them. In general I dislike overcooked vegetables.

Such a lighthearted word, tripe,- for such a horrific food item!

Now Head cheese, that sounds as nasty as it oughta!
(For the uninitiated, it is little pieces of brain and whatnot, molded into lunchmeat form, but so much more colorful than bland uniform pink bologna! Bologna is vanilla compared to this!
