That's the part of my wife's aversion I don't get, I mean, it's not like I despise coconut except when it's on cupcakes or something.

and even though this isnt exactly the same as the theme of the thread, she also does not let each item on her plate touch the other items and lets say she has 3 things on the plate...she will eat the first one entirely before she starts the second...she wont switch back and forth between the items.

My wife has some of this going on.

Note to self (aka "something I will forget"): Do not offer hot dog to cartman at Astros game as will contain condiments he does not want.

My kid is pretty bad about that one.

I love tuna melts and tuna fish sandwhiches and there's mayo in those.

I think her aversion is like mine to raw tomatoes. I hate them and won't eat them unless they are part of a caprese salad. Something about the mozzarella that counter-acts the tomatoe's grossness.

I forgot Mayo, I am like your wife JIMGA, I can have it on a BLT, though a VERY light spread, but absolutely nothing else.

I just find the taste disgusting, yet on a BLT it somehow just seems to fit in, complimenting the bacon and tomato nicely. I also make BLT's with light bacon ranch as a replacement for mayo sometimes as well.

I love Tuna salad sandwiches/melts, but use mustard instead of mayo for those.

You people are just plain weird.

I'm the same way, and I know others who are. It's a "food OCD" thing for sure. Probably rooted in childhood+control over food being the one thing you could have control over as an OCD-kid.

[DaddyTorgo]

Let me see if I can summarize mine:

1. No jelly. Toast with butter. Peanut butter by itself.
2. No salad dressing (especially creamy ones, but all really). Why fuck up a good salad with that gunk?
3. No pickles. Ever.
4. No mayo. Ever. On anything, in anything, whatever. I will spit that shit out and curse you.
5. No mustard.
6. No foods touching on my plate.
7. Eat everything one at a time.
8. No cottage cheese (unless it's baked into something I suppose).
9. No sour cream. SOUR cream? WTF are you eating cream that's sour for? Eat un-sour cream.
10. No oysters/mussels/clams. Love sushi, but not a fan of slimy bivalves I guess. Hell, scallops are okay.
11. No cooked mushrooms/onions. Too slimy & squishy.

I have about a million more I'm sure.

I'd recommend going out for coffee rather than dinner dates. In fact, you should probably avoid eating around women altogether.

LOL ... but yeah, I think that's good advice.

No worries - I've had all of one first date and one phonecall off of eharmony and match combined in the 1yr I've had match and the 4 months or so on eharmony also.

I probably wouldn't comment on this except for the relationship to the thread topic ... maybe you should try PlentyOfFish

Probably not cocky and funny enough.

Thread winner, you do like Sushi DT

[Danny]

You all are pretty whack-a-doodle. I mean besides the raw onions, theres other foods I dont care for, but I have no reaction to it other than it not tasting very good to me.

And I even forced down the crunchy onions a couple times out of politeness to a dinner host.

I know you're kidding, but as a serious response: the selection on PlentyofFish here in MA is...not good from what I've seen. Free tends to attract...a lower caliber.

I've hated the taste/texture of Banana my entire life, except for maybe a month in my teens when I decided it wasn't that bad after all, then one day the switch flipped and after that they went back to being disgusting again

Anything that is mushy is probably going to turn me off. Eggplant/courgette disgusts me. That's the one thing I can't even pick out of a dish, the entire thing is going into the trash.

[lungs]

Corn - Just kernel corn, nothing wrong with other corn based products but sweet corn or anything where the corn is in a kernel I cannot stand.

Mayo - Just disgusting on anything

Green peas and beans - Yuck

Ketchup, Mustard - Disgusting. I like my burgers with meat and cheese only, and I eat my brats with no sauer kraut, onion, ketchup or mustard.

(I do love BBQ sauce though!)

Onions - I love the smell of cooked onions but inevitably can't stand them.

I feel like my egg salad recipe would offend everyone in this thread. Your loss!

(Hard-boiled eggs, mayo, diced onions, diced olives, capers, paprika, cayenne, pepper, salt.)

If he gets a girl and forgets to cancel his subscriptions, he may have to learn how to fudge a bank statement.

It's hard to joke when you're concentrating on keeping your potatoes off your carrots.

Sour cream, cream cheese, whipped cream - all no nos. If cream cheese is mixed in some sort of tasty product, if you can deceive me I might tolerate it. But slathered on a bagel or something are you out of your mind? Pretty sure the only time I voluntarily ate whipped cream in my life was off a boob (priorities). But whipped cream on top of a shake or pie or something is a deal breaker. And sour cream, just no. It's the worst.

Yeah - I forgot cream cheese. That's a definite no. Unless it's in like...a tasty icing (I think my mom makes one kind of icing with cream cheese). But like on a bagel or something...uhhh...NOPE!

[MrBug708]

I'll eat cream cheese straight out of the tub.

I hate milk though. When I eat cereal, I strain it out as I eat. It is gross to watch

Only thing I won't eat is peas. Can't stand them.
