you know, those weird “I’ll eat this but not that” things.
Two of mine have come up recently:
I despise ketchup on a hamburger sandwich, it absolutely ruins it for me, but…
I like ground beef on a plate with ketchup for dipping.
I gag on the slimy gooeyness of cooked oatmeal, but…
I love the slimy gooeyness of cream of wheat.
Makes no sense to anyone but me.
What are yours?
I really dislike beer, and had never cared for oysters <hadn’t tried any good ones, though> …but the two together sounded great, so I tried it. And it was!
I love Butterfingers, and milk is fine…but Butterfinger Milk is just…awful. Don’t get it.
Yes, it does taste like Butterfingers…and that’s the problem…
I love burgers and I love salads . . . but if I get a burger that contains lettuce, tomato and pickles, I’ll remove them and eat them separately. The onions can stay.
I despise ketchup, in any and all forms. But I love tomatoes and tomato sauce.
I can’t eat tomatoes in any kind of non-liquified (or I guess saucified) form–if I’m aware of the presence of chunks of tomatoes in my food, the very idea of it grosses me out. But I love chunks of roasted red peppers in my soup, on my pizza, in a sandwich…
I do the exact same thing. I like my veggies cold, and the burger makes them hot. Hot veggies=gross.
I really hate meat with bones particularly chicken. My wife pulls the meat off of my chicken for me as I can’t stand touching teh bones, but I do love the meat.
Not so illogical. Ketchup has vinegar in it. And vinegar ruins everything.
Actually, that’s my illogical food distinction: I hate vinegary things in general, but there are a few exceptions. Barbecue sauce is okay. And I like mayo in tuna. I also occasionally enjoy dill pickles. (But ONLY dill pickles. None of that bread and butter crap.)
I think I can handle vinegar if there are other strong spices to balance it out. But when I taste or smell the vinegar over everything else…then we have a problem.
The weird thing about me, though, is I enjoy vinegar by itself. I’ll eat vinegar and sea salt chips, and eat fish and chips with vinegar on the fries.
Thought of another one: I love cooked vegetables, and will eat vegetarian meals, but I can’t stand salads. The coldness of the vegetables is the ick-factor for me. But cold fruit I love.
Miracle Whip and mayonnaise *are not *the same thing, do *not *put MW on something if I asked for mayo.
I’m fine with chunky liquid tomato salsa, which I find delicious. I’m also fine with tomato juice, which I also find delicious. But having both in proximity to each other makes it impossible for me to enjoy either.
From the time I was 6 (the first time I saw it) until I was about 28 I couldn’t eat tortellini. It looks like a bowl full of ears covered in sauce.
I like cereal and I always drink milk with it but I can’t fathom pouring the milk *on *it.
I’ve mentioned this before - I would eat pizza every day if I could but I will not eat any cheese whatsoever in any other context.
I love gravy on my potatoes but I find the idea of poutine completely revolting.
Put ketchup on fries and no one cares, put ketchup on a baked potato and people look at you like you’re from Pluto
I love crunchy peanut butter. I hate peanuts.
All I got is I hate mustard on anything.
I try to avoid mashed foods but can eat them to be polite.
Oh, and I like chocolate and raisins but chocloate covered raisins gross me out.
Nonsense. It’s a plate full of bellybuttons covered in sauce.
I hate anything sweet. If I’m gonna eat something, I want meat and potatoes; things like candy, ice cream, cake, or whatever are disgusting to me. But I thrive on Diet Coke, and probably drink far too much of it.
Just like me. I love anything made from tomatoes other than the fruit itself and tomato juice. I like most vegetables, but the thought of drinking any kind of vegetable juice grosses me out. Never tried it, never will.
