People like that are good for one thing, if people say I'm picky
because I don't want cherries on my pork chop, I can say Well,
I do eat vegetables and corned beef (even if it is pink). You want
picky, ask Wayne about David.

I travel with my own salt. (Maldon Sea Salt)


If I like a certain food and it's not supplied, I know I can get it at
any time in the future. No biggie.


But it all comes down to *one* thing.



If you don't have to cook the damn meal....... it's a f****** good meal.


I ate vegetarian Chinese that tasted like beef snot...... I lived.


I was hungry about 20 mins later, but I lived :-)


I still don't like snot though.

It's an acquired taste. (laugh) I'm reminded of a friend of mine, I
wouldn't
say she is picky, but no cauliflower (looks like brains), stuff like that.
She's
a very good cook, but what's-the-word, sensory issues put her off.

She went out on a first date with some guy, he took her out to this Chinese
place. It sounded good, she likes seafood, so she ordered Shrimp in Lobster
Sauce. Imagine her horror to find her dinner arrive and it's, for all the
world,
shrimp in snot.

I still laugh thinking of the look on her face describing having to eat
that.
First date and all. So funny.

I must have been a gourmet from childbirth....... a gourmet trapped in a
peasant lifestyle. Yeah, I used to pick it, but *never* eat it.

Same same when I grew up and did other things.

After 5 days of no food, we were given a 3 course meal. All thrown into the
one container.

Soup, main course (boiled sheeps head and veges), and dessert (trifle).


I sliced off a couple of thin bits of cheek, and left the rest to the
animals.

Just the words 'Brains', 'Trifle' etc are enough for me.

Silken tofu, to be exact.

Along with slimey mushrooms.

That may well be true in many instances, but we are on par with each other
in every other aspect of our lives. Food issues quickly bacame non-issues
in our relationship, and quite honestly, it doesn't matter to me at all.

I was just kidding around, that there are much pickier people than I am.
Most of us bitch about someone in our lives once in a while. It's all in
fun, we don't actually expect advice to fix it.

When I started this thread, it was about what I was preparing for dinner on
Friday. The fact that David won't eat corned beef (or other things) was
just an aside, NOT a complaint. Clearly, a lot of you folks have nothing
better to do than criticize habits and personal lifestyles. Too bad I
can't just erase the whole damned thread.

(This was NOT directed at you, Blake.)
