Okay, so I think I must have found a long lost cousin here! LOL! We're clearly from the same family! ;-)

Quote but as for the fruit itself I can't stand it!!!! It literally makes me gag.


My son is like this about potatoes. Has been ever since he was an infant eating that mushy stuff in jars - he would eat anything out of those jars, except something that had potato in it. Occassionally he will eat some McDonald's french fries (yeah, right, like there's actually potato in those - fried grease more like it !!) but that's it. No mashed potatoes swimming in butter, nothing.

I can't eat raisins. I have been known to choke down a few to save embarrassment in a social situation, but that's it. I don't even like to touch them - in fact, I don't - I buy my kids the little boxes, so I can hand them a box. I can't eat trail mix with raisins - if it's touched a raisin, it tastes like raisins. *shudder*

Mama Fox - Raisin free and lovin' it!!

Husband is lacto/ovo vegetarian. We check everything for hidden gelatin, (some energy bars, yogurt, sour cream, many dips, etc) he only cheats when it comes to some cheeses with animal enzymes. Wife, on the other hand, loves rib eye and bacon, but eats very little of it. We love Mexican, Indian, and Thai foods. We're blessed that we work well together in the kitchen, but Husband admits that I'm the "Culinary Queen", so he chops and I wok!

Notes from a meat eating wife: I only cook meat in one small cast iron skillet, on a camp stove outside on our porch (we don't have a bbq yet). I will call friends and ask if they'd "like to go eat meat with me?", and sometimes I get uniquely cranky in a way that my wonderful husband will ask if I need to eat some meat!

Quote My Dad made cow tongue on a regular basis.


My mom cooked cow tongue once & I loved it, but I guess nobody else did cause we never had it again.... Every once in a while I try telling my kids it's really really good, but they never believe me.
(and of course the boy won't eat anything that has a face anyway....)

Oooooo, that sounds pretty cool! I'm wondering if that might be the way to get my 6 yr. old to eat more green stuff! He is strictly junk food, quesidillas, chicken nuggets, and fruit ( thank goodness! ). His favorite fruit HAS to be Kiwi!

I have been trying to go veggie for almost a year now, but my steak fetish seems to be holding me back! LOL!!! That is the one meat that I like. I don't really care about hamburgers, or stuff like that, just steak. I HATE chicken, don't like seafood all that much, and have never been that big on pork ( although I do like some crispy bacon on occasion! ). The steak seems to be the only thing that keeps me completely vegitarian! And, I have been able to go a couple of weeks without it, but that's about it!

Ooooo, I bought a container of strawberries last week, brought them home and ate them while I was standing at the kitchen sink. I barely got the frozen food put away before I started in on them.

Yuuummmmm!

Living in Gresham, Oregon means that right now I can get an entire FLAT of strawberries that have only been out of the fields a couple of hours. We got a flat on Sunday, had some with dinner, some as strawberry shortcake for dessert, sliced strawberries and bananas for breakfast, whole strawberries for lunch, and sliced strawberries for dinner.

Now it's time for a new flat :)

we ate sandwiches made of limberger cheese and red onions on rye bread. Yummmmmm! Of course, unless you were eating them, you didn't want to be anywhere near the gathering!! My Dad made cow tongue on a regular basis. I thought it was normal.


I bought some Limberger.....once. To me it tastes just like it smells....can't eat it. Tongue on the other hand....as we say in the south...thems good eatin'

Quote Bonus points if you put it on a stick


So does having it on a stick make you feel less of a savage or more of one?



Funny you mention this... it wasn't the first food-on-a-stick, but certainly the most colorful: shish kebabs were invented by the nomadic warriors who lived in the middle east. Thing was, they didn't use STICKS... they used their swords.

As it was not uncommon for them to be right in the middle of eating a meal when they were called off to battle, they didn't even have to leave their food behind.

Just imagine facing off against a bunch of these guys sitting on their horses and licking their swords...

Aside: the human body is not meant to live without meat, especially in the years when your brain is developing. I think my son's gotten smarter since he finally started eating red meat. Yum.

Got to love the useless trivia information you can learn around here (LOL)

The visual to this is just too funny... Coffee out the nose isn't a nice feeling so early in the morning.

If you like blackberries, you ought to visit out here. There are parts of the west coast (including the Willamette valley in Oregon where I live) where the blackberries are everywhere! In fact, a bunch are coming over my fence from the street side and taking over my garden.

When they become ripe, we just go out and pick them free. (We always avoid right next to roads because of spraying and, well, just yukky exhaust being on them.)

When I was married, my ex would run out in the neighborhood and pick some berries while I made pie crust. Fresh blackberries in fresh blackberry pie — does it get any better in the summer?

*wiping mouth and looking guilty*

I remember when I was in the 1st grade, we lived in Durham NC, and there were wild blackberries that grew at the edge of the complex's park. My parents and I went out and picked a whole mess of them, brought them in, washed them, and rolled them around in a bowl of sugar! Ummmmmmm, those were the days!! :)

The big question is -- where do you buy limburger nowadays? I get it for my dad as a treat once in a while, but I have to drive almost two hours to "Grandpa's Cheese Barn" to get it. they just don't sell good stinky cheese at the grocery store! :-P

Quote I think that carnivores subsist primarily on meat, but will occasionally eat plant material.


No, you've ALL got it wrong. Carnivores are GREAT! They have a lot of tickets and cotton candy and I especially love the ride where you spin around for 5 minutes and then throw up...that is the MOST fun!

I've seen Limburger at the local Publix grocery store here in Florida

I remember my husband (who isn't from around here) was looking at the cheese one time.

He picked out a package of Limburger. and I said, "Uh, honey, you don't want that. I hear that cheese really stinks"

And he starts to open up the package to find out! Fortunately, I was able to stop him.
So we didn't get kicked out of the store
