I've been catching up, sitting here reading this thread, nodding & laughing!
I'm a bit of a picky eater - food allergies will do that to you....
Don't care for fresh Poisonous Wolf Peaches (known as tomatoes to some of you), but I do like sun-dried ones. Can't stand the smell or taste of liver. And I can tell you the last time I ate a brussel sprout: I was probably 8 yrs old. I had to stay at the table until I finished my dinner, which, that night, included one brussel sprout. Well, my Dad had some pals coming over to play cards & needed the table, so he finally paid me 50 cents to eat it - he handed me the money & I swallowed it whole! lol
I love artichokes! But talk about someone who was hungry - the guy that ate the first one....
My tastes have changed some with age too. Never liked avocados as a kid, but do now. I used to like sliced beets (not pickled) from a can, but now I only like the fresh ones, with a little butter, salt & pepper.
I cook with onions, but can't eat them without a lot of pain, and no walnuts or pecans either - instantly they blister my tongue.
