weird food likes/dislikes.
I confess....I am weird about food.
I've never had a lot of foods: hoagies, cold cuts---except cheese.....never had a stea****il I tried a tiny bit this past July, and that was under the influence of champagne (no, it wasn't a date)...just a lot of everyday foods I developed a phobia of in childhood and my parents never helped much, so I kept them. Never had tuna, potato salad, macaroni salad, oysters, sardines, most meats except chicken, white fish and hot dogs. Raw things like veggies and fruits I've never had, but I love Gerber fruits!

Wow..What *do* you eat?? lol. I'm just kidding with ya.
I completely understand the childhood phobia thing. I have it with cauliflower. Never had it, probably never will unless I'm tricked into it..lol.. It looks like brains and when I was little, my sister who also used to tell me I was adopted and my real parents were little 4 foot tall asian people, told me it was monkey brains. Obviously, now as an adult I know it's not but it's just one of those things I can't eat because of the way it looks.
The only other thing I won't eat is liver. It's AN ORGAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! I actually tried to eat it once but it didn't go too well. I got it on the fork, got it this close <> to my mouth and then it hit me - I'm about to eat the internal organ of an animal!! I couldn't do it and started gagging and dry heaving..lol.
As far as my weird likes - I have a secret obsession for puffed cheetos dipped in temp-tee cream cheese. I only have it once every couple of years and only a few but my god do I loooooooove it.

My husband is one also who wasn't exposed to many different foods growing up. I as part of an Italian and Irish family who's entire existence revolves around food was fortunate to be exposed to most things and will try almost anything - I am with Val though, organ meats are for the animal, not us to eat!

I pretty much like anything minus animal organs and I'm not crazy about fish. My problem is that I LIKED ALL food TOO much and hence got to be 269lbs.
Since surgery, I pretty much am turned off to most foods since I don't get any pleasure out of food anymore.
My stepdaughter is a weirdo food freak and ONLY eats, steak, pizza, french fries, pancakes and chocolate milk. Her mother is a freak and has her turned off too so mnay foods due to her own phobias. It seriously ****** me off and when she's at my house I tell her she can have "starve" for dinner.

Think of all the exciting times ahead trying new things! My mom was a real stickler about variety growing up. On the positive side we used to go about a year and not eat the same thing twice when I was growing up. On the negative side you had to eat what was put in front of you. Even if it was an organ. Both of which (kidneys and liver) I HATE WITH A PASSION. Used to take me 3 hours to eat my small piece of liver. Along with about 8 glasses of water (for sipping before and after the bite). Overall a REAL negative.
Now, post-op I am very boring. Chicken, cheese and tomatilla sauce or a veggie pattie with cheese. Snacks are Chike and Greek yogurt. LOL. My mom would be horrified.
