Food Particulars

There are many discussions that take place with my friends and family based on my food taste, or as they like to state, a lack of food taste. I thought once and for all I would throw down the gauntlet and set the record straight. I’ve been called picky, some call me a freak, but it’s just not true. I’m particular in the method that I choose to eat my meals. What is wrong with that may I ask? Here are some of my “methods of madness” as I like to call them:

  • I don’t eat green food, except with the exception of occasional shredded lettuce on particular items. It must be shredded not leaf.
  • I don’t eat vegetables; it’s a texture thing honestly. I do eat corn on the cob or I will eat regular corn IF it’s drained completely and I have it on top of mashed potatoes.
  • I don’t eat pork except for bacon fried crisp and the occasional fried pork chop.
  • I don’t eat anything BBQ. What is the point, no matter what you are eating just taste like BBQ so why not just drink the stuff and call it a day?
  • Mushrooms are evil.
  • I don’t eat condiments of any kind; again I don’t need additional flavor to my food.
  • The concept of a salad blows my mind. Crunchy vegetables with liquid flavor soaking all over them. Never in my lifetime.
  • Chicken, cheese Nachos are the best food combination known to man.
  • I struggle with pizza; it used to be my favorite food; however I’m down to one restaurant at this point, Bonnie & Clyde’s pizza only. No other will suffice.
  • Appetizers rule the world; mozzarella sticks, potato skins, queso, chicken fingers, quesadilla’s, you name them I love them. You can’t go wrong with appetizers!
  • Food should never touch unless it’s gravy. Gravy is of course allowed to touch.
  • Red meat should always be cooked well done.
  • Chocolate cake, white icing – no substitutions.
  • Segregated plates are the best plates ever created
  • I don’t eat anything Strawberry
  • I don’t really eat fruit except bananas, maybe an orange or an apple a few times a year.
  • I’m not a big fan of ice cream except drum sticks ROCK.
  • When I eat M&M’s I eat them by least favorite color’s first: Brown, green, red, yellow and then blue – blue is my favorite.
  • Chex Mix has to been eaten by dividing it out by categories of items
  • Bologna sandwiches are best eaten with chips on top
  • I love livercheese
  • I love cottage cheese
  • I can only eat eggs, fried, yolks busted. Scrambled eggs freak me out
  • I only eat raspberry or cherry Jello
  • Dream Whip – never Cool Whip
  • Ready Whip – never Cool Whip
  • Oatmeal freaks me out – it’s slimy.

That should do for now – just a few things that makes me, well…………….ME!
