This is a question Picky Eaters

An 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?

Oh, and another
Thankfully I'm not like this now, but some time back I suffered from a gluten intolerance - no, not an allergy like some whiney gits claim as an excuse for not eating something when they really mean "I don't like it" - but a thankfully short-lived (about 2 years) but genuine, very violent reaction to gluten based products (eat something with gluten in it and 5-10 minutes later I'd be sitting on the bog grabbing the walls so I wasn't rocket propelled into the ceiling). Obviously I'd have to steer clear of the obvious things, bread, pasta, biscuits, pizza etc. but they stick gluten (usually flour to thicken things) in virtually anything meaning that I'd often be out for a nice meal and have to disappear from the table bloody sharpish. That and the associated acute indigestion and acid reflux meant for several months I had to sleep sitting up.

That made for a pretty miserable couple of years as anyone who's eaten rice pasta or gluten free biscuits will understand.
