I am going to say you dislike sushi, because you have an allergy to shellfish.

Mine are:  
Pears,  
Apples,  
Bananas,  
Pineapple.

Okay, **Autolycus** , I’ll guess apples because they aren’t often as sweet as the other three fruits you listed?

Here’s mine:

Cigarettes  
Spa visits  
Snickers Bars  
Bluegrass music

</div>

I’m guessing you don’t like Jose Cuervo **Cluricaun,** because it seems like the others are really hard stuff… I could never take whiskey. Though I do feel for you, if it’s true, since tequila is a little slice of liquid heaven to me.

mine:

The movie _Gone With the Wind._  
Squids and other tentacled creatures  
Jazz improvisation  
Rare steak

**Oregon sunshine** , I’m going to guess Kung-fu movies because the other three seem to fit together so well.

Hummingbirds  
Kookaburras  
Magpies  
Canada Geese

Correct! I do not hate them, and when they get into the house, I plunk a clear glass over them, slide a thin piece of paper over the opening and toss 'em out.

It’s a phobia, I absolutely harbor the spiders no ill will. But, yes, you got it in one.

I’m thinking, for you, [\*] NASCAR…?

E-coli is a small price to pay for such a treasure as a beefy, bloody steak. 🙂  
(well, I used to eat 'em rare, but my husband has freaked out about it enough that I order 'em medium well so he can sleep at night.)

The answer is _Gone With the Wind._ Hate it.

**LiveOnAPlane** , **racer72** , you are both correct! I’ve never been able to see what the big deal is and being constantly surrounded by those who are obsessed with NASCAR has led to a strong aversion. 😃

</div>

Fried cabbage  
Roasted broccoli  
Carmelized onions  
Bacon salt

**Fetchund** I’m going to guess magpies. The geese are irritating, but maybe magpies are worse?

Sorry, I didn’t figure that part out. Feel free to use spoilers or let people eliminate choices, I guess.

**Dragwyr** , Your sister-in-law? ETA: Just did a look at threads you’ve started. I don’t think I need your confirmation.  
Mine: [ul]  
[li]lamb[/li][li]rabbit[/li][li]venison[/li][li]veal[/li][/ul]

**blondebear** , I’m hoping it’s The Bangles. People who like sushi shouldn’t like The Bangles.

Jazz  
Sushi  
Whiskey  
Cigars

**OtakuLoki** : I’m guessing rabbit. Everyone in their right mind loves lamb and venison, and I haven’t had veal but it seems like a more popular meat.
