I wouldn't give up eating ___, even if I was allergic

Barring life threatening allergies, of course, what wouldn't you give up?

I ask, because I'm allergic to....something. Several doctors, medications, and tests later, and the doctors agree I have an allergy. But tests show that I'm not allergic to anything they tested for. Not even the things that people are very commonly allergic to. Better yet, the doctors don't agree as to whether it's something I'm touching, breathing, or eating.

It could be anything.

For a frightening few days, I suspected tomatoes as the trigger, but a second try with the same tomato-laden food produced no results.

I don't know if I could completely give up tomatoes. I could cut back, I could space out my tomatoy meals. But I don't think I could give them up completely. Winter isn't so bad, but when summer rolls around, I don't think I could give up fresh garden tomatoes. Chocolate would be easier.

So, are there any foods that you'd refuse to give up, even if you got itchy and blotchy afterwards?
