I *love* sausages and hotdogs...... but I only ever eat the gourmet
variety.

Your garden variety (ie, supermarket) is usually made of lips, eyelids,
labia, arseholes, tongues, eyeballs, scrotums..... etc, etc, etc.

I'm actually about to send off an email to one of the latest sausage
makers that we've tried...... and let them know that their combo isn't
working.

We had the Thai Beef with Lemongrass and Chilli.

It'd be better if it was chicken.

Beef and lemongrass (in sausages) just don't do it for me.

I love them. He wouldn't try them in a million years. He'd insist they'd
make him "sick" to his stomach.

He will only eat "all beef" hot dogs, but that certainlly doesn't preclude
them having the above ingredients. He doesn't believe it.

And as a supposed 'adult', he can't be told, "Eat this or go hungry"?


Does he have *real* adverse reactions to certain foods? Or is it just a
spoilt child thing?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... he's mentally weak.

It's time the boy grew up and people stopped babying him.
That sort of shit is all an attention gathering thing.

He's a DQ, right?

People do claim "allergies" to things they dislike without
regard for the clinical use where an allergist diagnoses an
allergy by the production of anntibodies, I believe. I have gone
thro' a fairly full allergy test and even that was a bit
inconclusive. My mild allergy to cats was confirmed but cats are
not allergic to me and I don't really dislike them :-)

My reaction to certain foods, like tomatoes, potatoes, eggs and milk
sound more like sensitivity issues than allergic reactions, but when
I was tested for allergies they all came back positive.

Oh, he has absolutely no allergies, just a psychological aversion. I look
at it this way...he doesn't know what he's missing. :-)

David and I got into a discussion this afternoon about why he wouldn't even
try the corned beef. As I had posted earlier, it's because it's "pink"
(meaning it looks raw to him). After I explained the curing process for
making corned beef, he said he would try a bite of it tomorrow. I also
explained that corned beef doesn't have to be that color, and without one
of the chemicals used, it would be brown like any other piece of well
cooked beef. He might be turning a corner. :-)

Yes, he could be, but I suppose it's partly my fault. I've been an enabler
for too many years (16). He has had many issues resulting from a ginuinely
traumatic childhood. It can really affect the rest of your life in one
wayor another.

> Does he have *real* adverse reactions to certain foods? Or is it just a
> spoilt child thing?

Absolutely none. It's all in his head. Oh, he wasn't spoiled, just never
exposed or forced to taste or eat anything he didn't want to. As a child
growing up, he subsisted on hot dogs, balogna, and peanut butter.

Actually, he's not a DQ at all. Apart from his food issues, he's really
quite average/normal. He's a CPA, very bright, top of his class, etc.
He's a very caring and giving person.

If the issues went beyond food, I'd probably do just that, but I don't mind
the food issues that much. I've worked around them, and as long as I, too,
have what I want, it's not really a big deal.

You absolutely do! When I was in Sidney some years ago I tried quite a few
different sausages and loved every one of them.

The stores here offer very little variety in the way of sausages. However,
within a few blocks of my office is a sausage shop that makes all their own
products and they are wonderful. The background is mostly German and
Eastern European. There is also an Italian shop that has a huge variety of
Italian sausages and meats. Glad I found both of them!>

Hah! I had a younger cousin, the baby of his family of six,
who existed on peanut butter and the occasional ear of fresh
corn or chocolate cake until he was married (I don't know
what has happened since.)

When asked to try something different he would look at it
briefly and say "My eyes don't like it."

I can't imagine my late uncle putting up with that, but as a
small farmer with six kids, I suspect he didn't even notice
Jim was around most of the time, much less what he ate or
didn't.

That was sort of David's case when he was growing up. There were also six
kids and both parents were alcoholics. The father was both physically and
psychologically abusive. I doubt that anyone in that house knew what
anyone else was doing or eating, much less cared.

You should have told him not to poke his eyes with his food!! :-)


LOL!! That just reminded me of an eating joke........

A guy walks in to a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while
he's drinking the monkey jumps all around the place. The monkey grabs
some olives off the bar and eats them. Then he grabs some sliced limes
and eats them. Then he jumps on to the pool table, grabs one of the
billiard balls, sticks it in his mouth, and to everyone's amazement
somehow swallows it whole. The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you
see what your monkey did?"

The guy says, "No, what?"

"He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!"

"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the guy. "He eats everything
in sight. Sorry. I'll pay for everything."

The man finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for the stuff the monkey
ate and leaves.

Two weeks later, he's in the bar again, and his pet monkey is with him.
He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again.
While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino
cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it in his butt, pulls it out and
eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did
now?" he asks.

"No, what?" replied the guy. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry in his
butt, pulled it out and ate it!" said the bartender.

"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the guy. He still eats
everything in sight but ever since he swallowed that cue ball, he
measures everything first."

As a kid, we got bugger all food. And we were always hungry. Probably
one reason I hate seeing people waste food, I love cooking food and

My CA wife was a supposed vego. She didn't want any meat in the house
(even tried to turn her 3 cats into vegos!! thy used to *love* me when
she went out!! ;-), and didn't want any meat at our wedding reception,
only vego dishes. I finally dragged it out of her that *she* was going
to be the only vego there. You think the reception was going to be only
vego dishes?? HELL NO!!

LOL!! Yeah, right........ have 60 skydiving buddies jump into a vego
feast!!

You'd smell them before you'd see them!!

Last time I went to the Barossa Valley, I found some absolute crackers
there.

Chicken with spinach and pinenut sausages.

So now my sister (who lives down there) has taken to sending me up the
empty wrappers and photos of here chomping on the snags..... the
biatch!! :-)

I'll be down there next month :-)

I actually had to Google what's in a Shirley Temple. I just remember
seeing "Radar O'Rielly" on MASH ordering one at the bar everytime.

Lots of different varieties.

He'd likely do it, too.

Ostensibly, the original drink was invented by one of the bartender's at
Chasen's restaurant in Beverly Hills, especially for Shirley Temple when
she went there to eat.

Which is what I'm about to do this afternoon. It's a lovely sunny day, so
the gang is all getting together for a "session" :-)
