[Things People Inexplicably Love]

They may be the world most popular fruit but I depise;Bananas. Don't care much for Cool Whip.

[Etiquette For Comps/Freebees]

The only time I expect anything is when the resturant has made a mistake with the food. Birthdays wise (if it's mine) coms/feeebees don't really matter to me because I'm not paying .

[Teaching Children about Food]

My apologies, NulloMod, for misinterpreting.

I know a young family, the husband of which does most of the cooking. When their son was still quite young, one or two, I was amazed at the 'strong' foods he not only ate, but relished: pasta puttanesca loaded with anchovies, for example. When I asked how they had managed it, the husband said: "he likes to hang out with me in the kitchen. He's in one arm, while I'm stirring the pot with the other; and so he gets excited about whatever excites his daddy."

I have a story very much like this. When I was about six or seven I was dining ate a fancy resturant with my parents. When the water came to take our orde, I ordred a salad w/ Bleu Cheese dressing. The watwer was suprised probaly thouth I was . But what I didn't know at the time was that my parent were attemptng to be vegitarins. So they ate a lot of salads. To make the salads appealing to my father my mother would make Bleu Chesse dressing.To this day I really like Bleu Chesse Dressing. And I have my paent to thank for that.

My parent never made a big deal about food or what I was eating. I think (for me) this was the key. Young chidren a very good at picking up non-verbal cues. If there is tesion around food and the children pick it up then they respond negitivly. Of course this is only a theory and since I don't have chidre I don't know if it is true.

Which show from this season is your favorite? And why?

[AB Style]

I really love your sense of style, where does it come from?

[I won't eat... What are your food limits?]

Brains, for personal reasons, could not eat, and probably live insects.

But of normal stuff, cannot eat bananas.

Cannot even stand the smell of bananas.

If a banana peel is in my waste can at work, will remove it immediately.

Have no idea why.  Just something about them that affects me viscerally.

Probably am the only person on the planet with the aversion, but it is a real one.

Otherwise, am pretty normal foodwise.

They may be the world most popular fruit but I can't stand them...bananas.
