Or... if you'd break up with someone that ate food you disliked?

I know someone that said that ketchup on scrambled eggs was a dealbreaker.

We have had several firm discussions about the amount of pepper that is acceptable to put in food.

I'm just fundamentally lazy.

Compassionately intolerant

I have a big problem with too much garlic. And raw onions. I know this puts me squarely in the minority but I have a physical reaction. Like whoa. So that would be hard for me.

I once had a boss who ate so much garlic my eyes actually watered whenever we spoke. He could never understand why I kept backing up.

For better or worse, I wasn't alone.

The Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream that looks like regular chocolate chip (it isn't dyed green) at 3 a.m. led to a....strident discussion.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I wonder if people who deeply love music would break up with someone who listened to music they hated?

I let DH have his Paul Simon and he lets me have my Oingo Boingo. But I'm not sure either of us is really a music-lover when it comes down to it.

Food...that's trickier. I'm not sure I would last long in a relationship with a cilantro-hater, because where would we go out to eat? What would I cook for them?

When it comes to food, I think people are more likely to break up with me than I with them... I'm not really sure a vegan would ever want to be with me as I'm a total meat-arian.

I am sure there are people who would never date a vegan, and people who would never date carnivores.

Pro or con?

Flea, I think I could date a vegan, but it would have to be a certain type of vegan -- one accepting enough of my non-vegan ways. I'm pretty laissez-faire so if you want to eat baked products that use no dairy, more power to you. As long as you don't force your oat-cake on me.
