if used sparingly.
I have trouble eating my own food near someone who's eating chili. Seriously, a couple of times my gag reflex kicked in. I haven't the faintest idea what it tastes like.
How can y'all be so picky about food?
I'm pretty sure it's not a conscious choice.
I actually really like food too (also overweight). I used to go to lunch with a male cow-orker every day, and every day we went to a different restaurant. And I always ordered the same thing. One day he asked me why, and I said I was afraid I wouldn't like something else. He pointed out (in an admiring tone) that I LOVED to eat, so why not try the new stuff. He asked me what I had ever eaten that I disliked, and all I could some up with was melons. (My tomato dislike is more of a dis- preferance, I can force them down)
Reader, I should have married him.
I'm sure the Buffistas can in fact name foodstuffs I would not eat.Muffin tops?
The only thing I can tolerate raw tomatoes in is gazpacho, because it's supposed to taste like raw tomatoes. But raw tomatoes ruin everything else by making things that aren't supposed to taste like raw tomatoes taste like raw tomatoes.
I have a thing about the smell of spearmint. It turns my stomach. I can't even talk to someone who is chewing spearmint flavored gum, because I can't handle even that little bit of smell.
Joins Tom S in gazpacho loving but raw tomato hating corner. Actually, it's weird--I love salsa (if it has enough other spices to offset the raw tomatoes) and good gazpacho (again, if it has enough other spices), but despise V-8.
Thank you, tomato-haters, for all your BLTs are belong to me.
I think the only food smell I really have trouble with is fish broth or whatever they use in those korean hot pots. If I'm even remembering right. The point is, the food was in a clay pot, seemed like a good idea, but I couldn't deal with the smell AT ALL.
Jessica, there are even bacon haters amongst the Buffistas, so I think you will to be sharing some of those BLTs. Please.
