I have a few strange things where diet is concerned...
I don't like caramel or peanut butter.
And I've been informed its un-American... but I honestly don't like bacon... at all... Or really any other pork products for that matter. I'll eat it, but I don't like it :S
And I have unhealthy obsessions with red meat and coconut, lol. I just moved to Hawaii and have recently learned that the McDonald's here has a unique treat that they certainly didn't have back in Alaska! Haupia pies! Oh my goodness, they are phenomenal coconut treats that I crave constantly! I'm pretty sure that while I'm here I'll be gaining a hundred pounds because of these things, lol

I'd love to try that! The only problem with that is I'm sure its a bit more than just $1, lol. I don't want to bankrupt myself, because then the McD's version just won't satisfy... Lol!

I love pickles :) Especially bread N butter pickles. I don't know if northern folks know what they are...

Absolutely! Bread and Butter pickles are the best kind of pickle anywhere! (In as much as I am aware...)

When I was a kid - my grandmother made them herself at home - long before they showed up in grocery stores.

And - even to this day - I am not sure I have ever eaten any "store bought" ones as good as those she made...

I with you on the bacon, unless it is Turkey Bacon, I want nothing to do with it. The Haupia pies sound so good as I love just about anything with coconut in it.

I don't eat fruit- at all- ever. I can't handle the acidity of it, it makes me gag.. and to be honest, I really don't care for the flavour of many fruits either.

I especially dont like cooked fruit.. apple pie is wrong. Pineapple on pizza is the cardinal sin of food faux pairs. It should be outlawed.

I don't like peanut butter either, or nuts at all for that matter. Mixing any nut flavour with chocolate is wrong in so many ways.

I only drink skim milk. Full cream milk literally makes me sick.. the thought of it makes my stomach churn.

I can't handle the smell of bananas- it makes me gag. If someone is peeling a banana, I have to leave the room.

I love chocolate but HATE chocolate flavoured things (like chocolate milk, or chocolate ice-cream), because honestly, they taste nothing like chocolate.

The reverse is true for strawberries. I HATE strawberries (the texture of their bumpy surface makes my skin crawl) but I love strawberry flavoured things. Strawberry icecream is to die for. However, I can't eat strawberry flavoured things if they have the little black pips in them.. *shudder*

I don't do mayonaise, at all, ever!

I don't like tomatoes raw and chunky (like in salad or on sandwiches) but I will eat it in cooking- like in lasagne or spaghetti, however I don't do tomato sauce EVER (I grew up on a tomato farm- need I say more?)

I don't like eating the same thing more than twice in a row. I like variety.

I like fish (except salmon) but don't like any other kind of seafood (lobster, crab, prawns, oyster, scallops etc -ewwwww)

I like peas but only the ones you buy frozen. I don't like the ones out of a can, or even fresh ones. I hate green beans, broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts. Pumpkin should only been used in scones and soup.

I dont like salad on sandwiches -it makes the bread soggy. I will only eat salad on bread if it's made fresh and then eaten immediately. I simply cant do it otherwise.

I only drink instant coffee, only a certain brand and only made a particular way. Percolated or brewed coffee of any kind is too bitter for me. If I go out for coffee, I'll order a flat white half strength, and be lucky to drink it all. I LOVE the smell of brewing coffee though.


If I don't like something- I DON'T LIKE IT. Please dont pester me by saying 'But just try some'. NO! I've tried it and I know I don't like it.. why is that so difficult for you to handle?

I used to make them with my mom when I was a little girl. So true that store stuff will never be as good :)

For medical reasons, I haven't had much of the luxury to not like things. I love most foods. I grew up vegan because of a medical condition. I hated pancakes, waffles, and french. I learned to eat eveything even if I didn't like it, but I could not stomach those 3. Now I realize I only hurl because of the syrup. I love waffles and pancakes with fruit and whip cream or yogurt.
I ate a worm in Africa.
It bugs me when people go to a place like Denny's and order the same thing everytime. I order something different everytime. But I LOVE Mexican food. There are only a few things on my list at mexican and Chinese restaurants.

Could someone from the south explain to me what is up with this thing, and I do mean thing, after having them called.....grits!

GRITS = Girls Raised In The South :)

Then there's the other kind. ;) Whether you like them or not usually depends upon who made them for you and how they were prepared. If they are overcooked and mushy, I agree, they are N-A-S-T-Y. If you cook them only to the consistency of firm mashed potatoes, add salt/pepper/tons of butter (YES...we use BUTTER in the South haha), they are awesome. :)

You seem to have many gifts, but I Truly doubt even you can salvage something good out of them, even with butter.

Julianna, you are far to modest, but maybe you wouldn't be a good used car saleperson, cause you are to honest. But I'm sure you can sale tons of cookies.

Seriously, I'm not.:D I can't even haggle over the price of a car as some expect you to. If I don't like the price, I just say thank you and leave. Arguing over money just seems tacky to me. Why don't they just put the price they are willing to accept on the thing in the first place? I know it's customary to them, but it's embarrassing to me.

Thats why I bought my car through an internet broker (carsdirect.com). They guarantee their price and you never even talk to a salesperson until you go to pick up your car. All the paperwork is done by fax/internet, except for the final signature which has to be done in person at the dealership, but you're given a copy of the contract ahead of time and told not to sign if it doesn't match.
