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?

My GranMy Gran always insists that she hates the taste of margerine. Something to do with in the war that's what poor people ate and there is the stigma that goes with it probably.
We can give her a massive slice of home-made cake which she will eat almost every last crumb of, until we mention that it has marge in it - she will declare that she doesn't like it any more and leaves whatever remains.
She's exactly the same with mayonnaise as well, will only drink loose tea leaves rather than tea-bags and eats ice cream like it's going out of fashion getting through a 1 litre tub a day.
She was in hospital recently with stomach ulcers. Being the caring grandson that I am, went up to visit and asked if she wanted anything. Only request - some salt for her food. She asked every visitor for it (including visitors for other patients if they could pop to the restaurant and get her some) so I had to tell the nurses to keep a watchful eye out for any suspicious packets of white powder surfacing near her bed.
