Lunchtime post: what food is your Kryptonite?

Not car-related, but it's roughly lunchtime here on the east coast, so it's relevant enough for me.

What food won't you eat? I'm talking least favorite. So often, I hear people say mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, asparagus...but I like all of those things. In fact, I have a really hard time coming up with a food I don't like.

Blue cheese is the exception. It's not that I'm opposed to the idea of eating mold. I would eat it all day if it were delicious, but it's not. It's sharp and bitter and earthy, and not in a good way. Blech. No thank you.

I will eat a lot of stuff. I will not eat tuna that isn't Ahi, and I won't eat odd parts of animals (feet, heart, uterus, etc. Though I like liver OK.). Oh, and calamari that is whole and not fried. Only because my first experience with calamari was finding it hiding in some clear noodles. I didn't realize the dish had calamari.

I hate the taste of chocolate. But the bad taste of chocolate is nothing compared to how people react to learning that I don't like chocolate.

"When was the last time you had it? Are you sure you don't like it? Do you not like it, or are you allergic to it? I'm going to sneak chocolate into his food to catch him in his decades-long lie!"

Though, on rare occasions, people will assume "I don't like chocolate" is a code-phrase for "I don't like Black people." I guess that makes more sense than not liking a certain foodstuff.

I will eat damn near anything at least once. Tongue, heart, snout, feet, tail, stomach, blood, eye, etc.

I do not like rosemary. If you sprinkle it on a cheeseburger there is a very good chance I won't eat it.

certain veggies and fruit (mushrooms, broccoli, papaya) and some when they are just warm (ex. I love carrots but not warm and soggy).

some shell fish, not all

Potato chips (is that even considered as food?). I hate them so much that I get almost instant gag reflex if I try to eat them. Plus greasy fingers afterwards.

In most cases I'm a very adventurous eater and like all kinds of things, but I've never gotten over my childhood phobia of yogurt. It gives me the heebie jeebies.

Except I love tandoori chicken (which is marinated in yogurt) and the tzatziki (cucumber dill yogurt sauce) on gyros.

Otherwise, fuck yogurt.

McDonalds. I absolutely will not eat at Mickey D's. Ever. I never have. Not once. Nothing. Not even water. As for real food, i'm pretty sensitive to spice, so very spicy dishes are a no go. Aside from that I have so say I'd eat pretty much anything....*

*Except for, you know, all that crazy shit that Andrew Zimmern eats on "Bizzare Foods". Most of that is vile, but I'd be down for some of it.

I had veal brains once. Not disgusting, but certainly disappointing. They're exactly what you'd expect: bland and mushy.

Dill, and those types of fish who have many small bones, I hate working that much for so little meat. And eggplants, unless they are roasted and transformed into a pasty salad.

OMG, blue cheese is the MOST DELICIOUS THING EVAR! I have been known to eat a bowl of crumbles like ice cream. I'm not even kidding. Gorgonzola lasts, maybe 2 hours in my house.... Yellow Winter Squash, though? Ew. Mega ew.

Cottage cheese. Blech. I refuse to eat it. I'll eat most other cheeses, even goat cheese although it makes me feel kind of weird.

A close second is mayonnaise. I've sort of gotten used to it as an adult because it is on so many things, but I hate it.

I actually kind of like Cauliflower, but it always gives me gas so I avoid it.

There are certain types of cuisine that I like spicy, and others that I don't. Thai spicy? Love it. Mexican spicy? Not so much. Regardless, I don't like food that's so spicy that you can't even taste it. What's the point?

Brussels Sprouts! I hate them with a passion that is unknown to any other type of food. I like almost every other vegetable, except these little cabbages from hell.

I love cheese. The stinky, moldy kinds are awesome. Queso, too? Queso is my weakness.

My list of EXTREME LOATHING:

Broccoli, artichokes, ranch dressing (exception: Chuy's jalapeno ranch, and ONLY Chuy's jalapeno ranch), cauliflower (really, isn't this just pasty broccoli? yuck), asparagus, pine nuts in salad (PLZ. STAHP!), mushy cooked brussels sprouts (exception: Uchiko's crispy ones), mushrooms, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, corn, radishes, most gravies (bland. no. don't.), turkey, bacon (yes, you read that right: bacon ), aaaaaaaand cabbage that isn't awesome, delicious sauerkraut (how can you even eat that stuff in non-sauerkraut form? srs?! ).

I'm really sensitive to salt nowadays. Too salty = no go. I quit eating fast food after college with a few solid exceptions (Whataburger, Freebirds, etc.) because of t3h fats and I guess this made me really, really notice how oversalted chain restaurant food can be.

Also, I can only tolerate caramel in small amounts. Too sweet. Too much. Yeah, I'm that guy. (That girl? 'k.)

I know, I know. Texan. Hates ranch dressing and 99.99999% of all gravy. Won't eat most of my vegetables unless they're slathered in dressing or sneaked into other things. My parents bought the "our president doesn't eat broccoli, either" excuse when I was a kid, and I am forever grateful, haha.

Onions are of the Devil. They taint everything they touch as well, so you can always tell when they just try to scrape them off.

Mushrooms. I've tried (ooohhhh I've tried). They're tolerable on pizza in sparing amounts (because you pretty much can't detect them while you're eating them). Can't say I'm a big fan of bleu cheese either, but I'm not violently against it.

I also would not eat most of the things they convinced people to eat on Fear Factor...

Indeed! I'm always annoyed when we go to lunch at the one place that has them here and my friends won't even try it. Dude, they're not people balls. They're bull balls. Totally acceptable.

I want Andrew Zimmern's job, not going to lie. Unless I have to eat vegetables. Nope nope nope nope nope.

The only vegetables I can eat are green beans, peas, corn, spinach, and lettuce. Any other kind and you can keep it.

Broccoli I can eat the tops okay, but the stems are gross. As soon as my father discovered this, he would only buy broccoli stems, and you weren't allowed to leave the table until your plate was cleared. Childhood dinners were fun.

Baby corn is good, deep fried with crunchy onion, in tex-mex chilli, in a salad. I don't think that there's a type of corn I don't like, and I'm a city rat, if you take me to a traditional farm, I won't be able to stay there more than a day or so, and the longest camping trip I've been on, took one week, I like the nature but I'm not comfortable if I don't see cars and sniff exhaust gasses and if I don't have the feeling that everything I need is close enough.

Lima Beans, canned peas and brussel sprouts. I'd rather take a beatin' then eat one of those three.
