Oh, I know. When that movie came out, I had a friend who worked at the
theater, and she could get us in to see movies for $.50. I saw that one
probably a dozen times, and even though I haven't seen it in years, I can
still quote two thirds of the movie (and annoy my husband half to death in
the process).

I've never come across salmon mousse in my travels, but I don't think I
could eat it -- I'd be laughing too hard!

That's interesting. I don't like caraway either, but its flavor doesn't
bother me in aquavit. I love the stuff, all different kinds! Yet another
vice I can attribute to the spousal unit.

For me, cow feta's dominant taste is salt, but sheep feta

yeah, i have the same problem with David, there's nothing he won't eat, except

Bell peppers...

I adore Olives and Mushrooms, but have only recently learned to
appreciate COOKED onions. Still detest them raw.....

Not overly fond of beets either and will only eat carrots cooked.
No shredded coconut either thank you! Like trying to swallow shredded
paper.

And then there is Cilantro and Arugula..... <blech!>

I wonder why we as individuals interpret flavors so differently? I would

taster on a panel a good judge? puzzling. . .

I am indifferent to milk chocolate but I really like bittersweet. I find milk
chocolate to be unsatisfying, and on the rare occasion that I buy a bar of it I
will eat the whole thing and then not feel very good. When I am near the
German deli I stop in and get a large bar or two of the darkest chocolate I can
find. Sometimes it sits around unopened for a week or two, and when I do open
it I break off a square or too and leave the rest, sometimes not having any
more for a week or two. One bar lasted me more than a month.

Oh, no, no, no, I don't do raw onions either. Cooked, fine, I just have to
deal with the intestinal issues. Actually, I like a lot of foods, but don't
eat them due to colitis that I've had since about age 13/14. Colitis is
certainly not getting better with age!

In all honesty, Janet, I'm a beer fiend. I've considered writing books on
the subject, in fact, but anyway, all beer from India smells and tastes
musty. It's the weirdest thing! I can only assume it's the water they use.
I don't know if the OP tried beer from there, but Indian beer is some dusty,
musty tasting stuff - and I've tried more than one brand!

Maybe you had a moldy one at one time that left that impression. Raspberries
have to be picked over very carefully because they are highly subject to mold.
I usually find they get moldy before they rot. It is a potent and pervasive
taste, but IMO raspberries have no taste of their own that is even close to
mold.

Cranberry is potent stuff. I can't imagine having turkey without some cranberry
sauce, and not the canned crap. I used to drink a lot of cranberry cocktail. It
is great for the kidneys and bladder. I actually developed a taste for the pure
juice. It took a while to get used to it, but I like it ... in small doses.

Taste is very much genetic. :-)

To me, beer smells musty (and smell is a big part of taste!) and tastes
unbearably BITTER! I don't even like to cook with it. :-(

And I've tried tried tried different beers and ales as I figured such a
popular drink had to have something going for it, all to no avail.
I have yet to meet a beer or ale that I like!

They all taste like ear wax.

It is not the sort of thing I would snack on, but I often buy it for chevre

I have had it twice in my life where it was so good I had seconds. One was in the
dining room of a camp where I worked one summer and the other was served by my
friends mother. In both cases it was served in a gravy sort of sauce. Every other
time I have had it it was disgusting. It is more of a matter of texture than taste.
I have no problem with plate. In fact, one of my favourite treats is patecrackers
along with a Manhattan.

I tried it once. I was visiting a friend who got some in a cheese basket he had
received for Christmas. He tried some and gave some to me saying how good it
was. I tried it. I noticed he had a strange look on his face. I asked him what
was wrong. When I spoke I could smell it on my breath and it almost made me gag.

I agree about the caraway in rye bread. It is disgusting. I don't mind it in
Aquavit. I keep a bottle in the freezer and have an ice cold shot once in a
while, usually with some smoked eel. It is a great combination.

I like Chocolate, but I don't crave it.

I store it in the freezer.

I used to like them. One day about 20 years ago I came home to find my wife
extremely ill. She was almost as sick as I had been once from food poisoning. She
had had mussels for lunch. My food poisoning was the worst thing that has ever
happened to me in my life. To see someone her go through it from mussels just
turned me right off them. I haven't had a mussel since, and she gets a frightened
look at the mere mention of them.

Well, I don't do wheat bread, that's for sure. White is much easier to
digest. The doctor, way back in, um, what, 1989 or so?, told me the things
I'm NOT supposed to digest. Here's the list:

herbs
spices
garlic/onions
raw veggies
whole grains
anything acidic (including vinegar - but GOD I love it!)
chocolate
dairy
coffee
grease
alcohol (like that's gonna happen? I think NOT!)


Things he suggested?

Fish
chicken
cooked veggies

He said I could control the colitis with diet or I'd have to go on drugs
forever. Well, I'm trying to control it with diet. Since I've had this
problem for the past 25 years, I may say I don't *like* a lot of things, but
what it amounts to, is I can't *eat* a lot of things. It's funny, because I
CAN'T eat most things, I'm just fascinated with food. I love to read
recipes and such. On the plus side, because I can't eat most things, at
least I'm not gaining weight! My husband wonders how I live at all.....
I'll go days sometimes without eating sometimes. :~) On the downside,
colitis makes working difficult, makes eating at parties difficult and I
stress about it. Oh well, whatcha gonna do, right?

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup granulated sugar
1 stick soft butter
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate -- melted and cooled
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup raisins
CHOCOLATE FROSTING
2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
2 tablespoons soft butter
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons hot water

Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease cookie sheet. Beat sugar, butter,
buttermilk, vanilla, chocolate and egg in large bowl with electric
mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda
and salt. Stir in nuts.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto cookie
sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until almost no indentation remains
when touched in center. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire
rack. Cool completely. Frost with Chocolate Frosting.

CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
Melt chocolate and butter in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring
occasionally; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and hot water
until smooth and spreadable. (If frosting is too thick, add more
water. If frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar.)

Description:
"This very old-fashioned cookie is a time-tested classic. It bakes up
into a tender, cake-like cookie adorned with an incredibly fudgy
chocolate frosting."
Cuisine:
"American"

I wouldn't call raw fish and meat, kimchee, and organ meets "normal"
food...but that's just me.

I won't eat parsnips, turnips, asparagas, oysters or scallops. Pretty
much everything else is fair game, so to speak ;-)
