The only way tomato sauce is acceptable to me is if it’s on pizza or pasta. And _not_ in that God-awful “ketchup” form.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: At age 34, I have the diet range of an 8-year-old. No veggies, no fruit, no condiments, no seafood, no nuts.

## (Okay, that’s not _completely_ true, thank goodness. I will occasionally eat spinach, green peppers (but only on a pizza), bananas, pineapple juice (no pulp), fish sticks, and peanuts. But that’s it.)

Wait - that is what you wanted, right?

I’m also with tracer, except for the fact that I will eat dijon mustard on cold sandwiches, and I love A-1 on hamburgers. Ketchup and mayo are abominations, though. The only thing I’ll eat ketchup on is a McDonald’s hamburger, and that’s because they just don’t taste quite RIGHT without it.

Whenever I tell people I don’t eat fruit or vegetables, they always look at me strange, and expect me to run screaming at the sight of a cabbage or something. So I tell them that, not only is it more common a phobia than you might think, but it even has a name - lachonaphobia.

And lookee - both Drain Bead and Tracer also have the phenomenon, and this is a mostly random sample of people here on the SDMB.

So we aren’t as rare as some people believe.

## I think I may now be accused of hijacking a thread, in which case I say “This plane’s _already_ going to Cuba? Oh… oops!” and sit down again.

That mustard part was nearly the swiftest, and most complete hijacking of a thread I’ve ever seen.
