I
love onions and tomatoes... although the latter, yeah, I'm not too keen on them raw except in sandwiches in small amounts.
Asparagus is not a favorite. I don't mind the flavor but most of the time when I've had it fresh what I ended up eating was a fibrous mass reminicient of wood. Fresh is healthier, but I prefer asparagus in a can.
Raw shellfish I won't even try. Never mind the fact that bacteria are building small cities on it; it looks like slime and probably has a slimey texture. No thanks, I want my clams breaded and fried.
Peppers are another least favorite. When raw I can tolerate them in small doses but I really don't much care for the flavor. Cooked peppers are worse; the flavor is unpleasant, the texture is like that of the previously mentioned raw shellfish but softer and slimier, and invariably the skin of the damn vegetable pastes itself to either my gums or the roof of my mouth and nothing short of a fork will dislodge it. I don't want them on my pizza, I don't want them in my soup, I don't want them in my house.
I don't like most fruits, either. Again, this is largely a texture issue for me. I'll happily tear through a grapefruit like Eduardo goes through potatoes and I'll drink most types of fruit juice but that's about it. Some of the flavors turn me off as well, peaches and bananas in particular. Grapes I'll eat as raisins but fresh off the vine? Forget it.
Organ meats I won't even look at, except for liver, which again brings up the Eduardo/potatoes referrence.
Tapioca, sweet potatoes, tofu, watermelon, eggplant, plantains, etc., don't like 'em, won't eat 'em. By the way, I like celery, but who the hell came up with the idea of using it as a flavor for soda??
Okay, I'm done for now, and I really feel like getting a pizza. Without peppers.
