Picky EatersAn old, old friend of mine will not eat/drink any hot liquid. Tea, coffee, soup etc do not pass his lips.
Which would be odd enough if he wasn't in the Army. He managed to survive a tour of duty in the Serbian mountains in winter without a brew.
Who's the pickiest eater you know? How annoying is it? Is it you?

BaconFor a period at the age of about seven, I refused to eat bacon. I would eat any other meat, just not bacon. There was a reason.
I was visiting my grandparents, and my Grandad revealed that his had scraped his hand on a wall whilst carrying something, and grazed his skin. He referred to it as "skinning his hand."
I looked at Grandad's wrinkly hands, and my tiny child brain thought, "wow, Grandad's hands look like they're made of bacon. And some of his skin has come off. Maybe that's where bacon comes from?"
Later, my mum gave me some bacon to eat, and I immediately assumed that it was Grandad's skin. From then onwards, I referred to bacon as "Grandad's skin" and absolutely refused to eat it until my mum told me that it was made of pigs and not Grandad.
God I was a weird kid.
