I didn't realize we were talking metaphorically.
We are?
Huh.
Still a fan of the burrito. I think I won't push for salsa verde in this context, though.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

He liked sauce until he was about 3 (so 7 years ago) and then hated all things he felt were too "wet".
I remember preferring food to be free of sauce/gravy/toppings until my late teens. But I did grow out of it (well, mostly) if that's any comfort.
It was always very exciting when there was something that I'd eat that my brother didn't like.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think pickiness is related to the taste bud sensitivity that kids have. I was just telling a friend in her thirties onions are ok now.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
You know, the distinction between analogy and metaphor has pissed me off for a good many years.
Yes, yes. I know the dictionary distinction. ""Like the thing" -vs- "As the thing".
It is like didactics humping the leg of meaning, if you will forgive my mixed ... thing.

Yeah, I hated pickles and mustard and bell peppers when I was a kid. Couldn't eat anything but mild chile into my teens. I'm indifferent to bell peppers now, but like mustard and pickles and you just try to pry the chile from me.

I mourn for the closing of Taco Rio, a local Mom & Pop diner which used much crispier tortillas and better-tasting fine ground taco meat than the chain eateries. They also had taco burgers that were out of this world.
We have a bazillion local Mexican restaurants now, but most of them are authentic sit-down places and there's not a decent take out taco to be found.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

True, but radishes still are not.
