I love tomatoes and tomato sauce,but I _hate_ tomato juice and tomato soup I have an irrational hatred of almonds. I don’t know why this is,but I hate them. ---

I was in the kitchen when he started the procedure - he starts with almost half a short stick of butter in the pan! I just use a little pat - no wonder his always taste so much better! > Been eatin’ those eggs for 23 years, and just found this out.:smack: We keep a jar of bacon grease in the fridge and I use that instead of butter for my eggs. Yum! That would be my weird food thing…I can’t stand bacon (that alone appears to be a bit odd), but I love cooking with bacon grease. Most places that one might normally use butter or shortening while cooking, I would rather use bacon grease. It doesn’t make things taste bacony, it just gives it a richer flavor. ---

Love omelettes, can’t stand to eat eggs in any other _recognisable_ way (fried, boiled etc.). Okay with eggs as ingredients, though. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fussy-illogical-food-distinctions-you-make/527480.md?page=4)
