Freak! Salmon is the bestest seafood. After lobster and crab
I love smoked salmon, but am lukewarm on broiled, etc. I think that it has a lot to do with farm raised v. wild.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

I think the problem is that it's more of a northern seafood. I don't think I even encountered salmon until I was a teenager.

I'm not going to tell you my food preferences. Possibly I am trying to preserve my mystery, but mostly I think you all know what they are.
I think I'm going to make pad thai tonight.

I'm another one who hates raw tomatoes but likes them cooked. However, I do have some exceptions: salsa and gazpacho, both of which involve lots of spices/peppers/etc. that cover up the icky raw tomato taste. I don't like V-8, either.
I'm with tommyrot on finding convertibles with the tops down but windows up annoying--if it's too windy, put the damn top back up! My mom had convertibles and would put the windows up occasionally, and I'd get snippy with her. It's a thing with me, and I probably would get over it really quickly if I had a convertible of my own.
As for other taste issues:
Most hard liquors: yuck, especially straight
Fruity alcoholic drinks: yum (yes, I am a girly girl when it comes to alcohol)
Beer: very much yum
Wine: white is yum, most reds are yuck (that tannic taste turns me off)
Sugary colas: yuck
Olives: yuck
Bagels: yum
Bacon: yum
Fork: switch after cutting
Watch: left hand when I have one

I think that "legends" is a bit much, especially in the case of the LFO guy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Toasted raisin bagle with cream cheese tastes odd. At least the one I have now.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Ah, the tomato quandary again. I hate chunk tomato but like ketchup, many tomato-based sauces, and the like. I've learned to tolerate spaghetti sauce with tomato chunks, mainly because you can't find the chunkless kind any more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
