eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww,
Tomatos make me cringe!
Why is it? Is it the skin? or is it the weird taste? or maybe the gooey texture on the inside? Man do I hate them. Yet I love fried tomato paste or sauce. Weird.
I have a long list of common things that really intereferes with my eating. I’ll try to list them with my stupid reasons for not liking them
Cucumbers… I like pickles. But not cucumbers. But they are just too tasteless for me. Not vegetable enough to taste like a real veggie (like Spinach!) but not sweet like a fruit. It reminds me of a melon. I’m not a fan. Why put them on anything? They have no taste!
Mushrooms!!! Ewwww… The taste is pretty much okay, but the texture really, really, really turns me off. And I don’t like the idea of anything that can sprout up in a matter of hours. What the hell does it come from?
Not too many fruits I don’t like. Except kiwis. I just don’t get green fuit. Plus its hairy. Gross.
Veggies are my main problem.
I am slowly learning to like collard greens. Around here that is a big thing. This is through my like for spinach, so this is an acquired taste.
Zuchinni? I won’t touch it. I don’t know what it is, and I don’t care to know.
Eggplant? Nope, I don’t care. Can’t be good enough to make me get over my prejudice
Avocado? I HATE Guacamole. I’ve tried that, but its got such a basic taste. Its almost like soap.
All in all, I’m a freak when it comes to food. I’m severly prejudiced when it comes to trying new things. I am the kind of guy who felt weird eating my friend’s mom’s cooking because it seemed strange that someone else cooked it. I guess that’s just me.
But on the other hand, I’ll eat any kid of crustacean or fish. I was eating crawfish the other day, and I realized when looking at the underside of the tail, that it pretty much looked like a giant insect. But then the meat is reassuringly good, so I got over it quickly. I even suck the heads!
Which reminds me. I’m off to start a crawfish thread.
