My brother-in-law is Indian and even *he* says asafoetida tastes like old socks.<br /><br />Pretty much anything else I'll eat. I'm not crazy about some things (very ripe bananas, candied yams, honey mustard dressing), but I can stand 'em. My mom used to feed me everything from Danish rice pudding to little dried fish with the heads still on from the Chinese grocery, so it's her fault.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520599099436383317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-56604164622236561042009-06-29T14:03:25.860-04:002009-06-29T14:03:25.860-04:00Yep, carrot-raisin salad makes me wanna urp.

...Crabby, we're soulmates on the celery thing. <br /><br />One of my favourite food combos that I'm reasonably sure isn't good for me are cheese whiz and mayonnaise sandwiches. Though I usually make them on whole wheat bread. And nowadays mostly use no-fat salad dressing instead of mayo. (The trick there, of course, is to use extra dressing to up the flavour quotient a tad.)<br /><br />Interesting topic and I'll check out a couple of those links. :)Frank Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766219281485749395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-34123888633123447332009-06-27T20:58:12.180-04:002009-06-27T20:58:12.180-04:00The only combination I can think of is steak and k...The only combination I can think of is steak and kidney, but it's not the steaks fault.

I thought of them yesterday afternoon!<br />Like the previous poster we had the same rule, you had to stay at the table until you had eaten your meal. There were some pretty long nights at my house.<br />I am truly not a fussy eater but there are just somw things that don't work. My mother used to make this thing to use up leftover turkey - it was turkey, celery, bread crumbs, almonds, and onions held together with mayonaise and baked in muffin cups. Absolutely awful!

I *love* fruit alone, but if I am going to have a cookie or slice of cake, the only fruit I want even close to it is a high fructose corn syrup pseudo-strawberry sauce or something. I'm just sayin'...<br />Also don't like tomatoes raw, but love tomato sauce! Love carrots raw and cooked, but YUCK as a juice.

And the chicken satay I had a few weeks back (formerly a serious fave) was a gross. <br /><br />I used to lurve PB&J, peanut sauce curries, all of it but over the past couple of years I have been getting more and more grossed out by that little legume. <br /><br />All of the other nuts and I are bestest buds 4evah. They are just fine alone or in pretty much anything (provided they are fresh!) In fact, the other nuts should be very jealous of almonds.<br /><br />Bananas may be going the way of the peanuts, I'm afraid. I was never a picky eater as a kid - what the heck happened?!?!<br /><br />(Found you from FBG.

I have been trying to be less bratty and adding olives to dishes here 'n there and haven't found them totally disgusting. I think it's their texture for me so if I can hide that I can deal. <br /><br />Peanut butter on celery is awesome and is one of my favorite snacks.<br /><br />I cannot eat cooked spinach but most of my salads consist of raw spinach. It just has more flavor and texture than icky lettuce.<br /><br />I hate peas but will chow down a plateful of mac 'n cheese with peas and tuna in it like there's no tomorrow.
