4 foods
There's only 4 foods I actually dislike- Baked beans (horrible, shitty, white soft blobs of...of matter submerged in watery, smelly, bland orange goo), mayonnaise (just because its on every single sandwich in England...its sickly, tasteless and does not go with cheese, or indeed most things) sweetcorn (I just think the taste is foul, though its well easy to pick out of foods) and tinned tuna... it smells like some diseased, crusty old flange. Nice.
I eat pretty much everything else known to man, but my friend (who we shall call steve, even though it is a girl) and her dodgy eating habits is a constant source of amusement/irritation... she hates milk, eggs, ice cream, milkshake, smoothies containing milk, mayo, lamb for some reason, tea, coffee, (all hot drinks actually) 'round' crackers but not square ones, angel delight, pancakes, cheesecake (except the 'biscuit' bit), and many other tasty foods just because they contain milk and eggs. Yeah, cos you can taste the egg in a pancake... However, she will eat various cheeses and cream, even though they are both MADE out of fucking milk... Yeah, its pretty damn annoying. Its one of those things where she hasn't tried a lot of foods since she was 3 or something, and had such a shit-fit about having been persuaded to try some that she threw up in protest, and therefore anything bearing a slight resemblance to it = bad. Also if she eats a food and 'suddenly remembers' she doesn't like it, or eats it by accident, she can't just either swallow it and get over it or spit it out, she has to gag and retch and get all dramatic over it like a little kid. Until very recently she didnt eat "foreign, weird food" like, say, rice or something, and her diet consists mainly of dry cereal (no milk, see), turkey dinosaurs, chips, onion rings and pasta shaped like rockets and crap. She also had odd habits, like dissolving chunks of butter into soup, and mixing just bacon and cream together to have with pasta (she made me this once, it was dead sickly but I ate it to be nice). I think she was kind of spoiled by her parents, who did pretty much everything for her when she lived at home, so until she came to uni she had no idea of how to even boil a pot of water. The best thing though is probably her hatred of mushrooms, which apparently taste of "how your head feels really funny when you get car-sick"... I still don't get that.
