THIS will never touch my lips again!!!
Fast food, processed American cheese, canned soup, and sea urchins.
Carmelizing onions! What to eat them with?
I love caramelized onion & gorgonzola pizza. Yummy! Also, caramelized onions are fantastic on burgers, especially if the burger is stuffed with gorgonzola or blue cheese.
What if you were suddenly allergic to all green colored foods?
I don't think I can pick just one. Living without herbs, especially cilantro or basil (mostly in pesto), would probably do me in.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
While on a road trip in the U.K., my family & I ran across a Chinese take-out called "Fried Lice," (No kidding.) I think it was in Wales, but it may have been Scotland; I'll have to ask my husband if he remembers.

Potatoes--all kinds, cooked any way. Also tomatoes and peppers fresh from my garden.

Singapore Bistro on 19th and L in Washington DC has the name right but if you look closely the sign below reads "Asian Cousin". Awesome!
And in Hilton Head, South Carolina somewhere I remember seeing a restaurant called Mexician Grill. We still laugh at that one!

There's a Chinese restaurant here in Portland, OR called Hung Far Low. I have no idea why.
There used to be a place called Takee Outee in the French Quarter. There was one right up the street from Pat O's. The eggrolls were huge, delicious and exactly what we needed after a few Hurricanes. Good times.

I've heard a lot about offal lately, especially in the U.K., where I will be going soon. I don't want to eat it!
I will not eat:
green beans
American cheese
white bread (tho because of my husband, I end up eating it anyway!)
Skippy PB
Burger King or Jack in the Box
I distrust Safeway meat. The ground beef is so fakely bright red, and it's an ugly gray-brown in the middle, as though it has expired three days previously.
I agree with the stuff that's weird colors. I've seen blue and purple applesauce. Looks gross!
Tootsie rolls, lollipops, Skittles and other candy other than chocolate! (I do like Jelly Bellys though!)
I have a hard time with curry. It's a big thing in the Bay Area, and all my co-workers eat it. But I'm not into the strong flavors.

For me...
THIS = standard hot dogs
...eeeeww! Though if they're specialty or gourmet I'll evaluate the product; it's a thin line anyways
