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?

I blame the parentsAs a kid I lived off tomato juice. My mum tried to hide raw eggs in it in an attempt to give it some nutritional value (eeeeugh - yes pre-salmonella). Bizarrely I used to feast on garden insects instead - ants were a favourite. Not too keen on earthworms and flys though. Odd kid.
Was fairly fussy til I went to uni and lived in catered halls - learned to eat almost everything except:
Poached eggs
Soft boiled eggs
Quiche
Any wobbliness/transparency in eggs at all
Its a texture thing.
ALSO I hate tonic water - it tastes of bitter metal, I don't get it. Unfortunately a frequent tipple for me is gin and soda (lush). Have lost count of how many times it has arrived with tonic in. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
I blame my mother for the egg phobia thing.
Oddly though I do swallow and rather like that, mmmm warm oyster!
