I kow of at least two other people who had the same or very similar experiences, and they don't eat chicken either.

Honest.

My grandparents had a hen house in their back yard--yep smack dab in the city of St. Louis. We always ate fresh fried chicken cooked in Lard. I have never had chicken that tasted that good since, but I always went to the front of the house to avoid seeing the neck wringing and gutting.

i could never stand olives. girls would buy them by the jar and eat them straight out. yuck.

We can be friends if you know a way of handling the hives! I love chicken, it's the honey-mustard (I know, the irony) that doesn't like me.

I hate onions. Doesn't matter if they are sweet, red, yellow, or white. Sauteed, deep fried, or fresh. I don't like 'em. I occasionally will try them to see if my tastes have changed, but nope- still hate them!

Why? Because when they are cooked, they look like worms. When they are fresh they taste like a**.

Oh and brussel sprouts. YUCK!

My father-in-law won't eat rice because he thinks they look like maggots.

Gosh, I thought I could be a picky eater, but after reading this thread I think I do pretty well.

I simply cannot eat:

sushi
brussel sprouts
beets
yogurt (I've tried many times, but I just can't do it)
tomato aspic
avocados/guacamole
olives


I don't really care for (but can be a reasonable sport about eating):

lasagna
peaches
cherries
most soups or stews (I love corn or seafood chowders, though)
cooked carrots
banana-flavored things (bananas are okay, but no banana desserts)
chocolate cake

I've never eaten a P B & J sandwich, never had them growing up because my parents liked/always bought the chunky peanut butter w/ tons of nuts, and I hate nuts. One of these days I might try one.

The only milk I will drink is whole milk. Skim, 2%, etc I refer to as cow piss. It's watery and disgusting.

I don't drink hot coffee or iced tea. The closest I get is a Frappaccino or a cup of hot tea once in a while.

My list of stuff I won't eat:

Ham - yuck...it's all rubbery.
Jello salad with veggies in it - just because the jello is green is NOT an excuse to put carrots and celery with it.
Jambalaya - my mom used to make it as an excuse to get rid of leftovers
Veggie Soup in restaurants - You know what goes in there? Any leftover meat/veggies from the rest of the week. It's basically their garbage in soup form.
Split Pea Soup - It's babyfood...a jar of strained peas and a jar of strained ham and you have yourself Pea Soup.
Nuts in dessert, except baklava. Penutbutter doesn't count.

Add artificial banana flavoring to my list. We made that stuff in my high school chemistry class-- and after mixing up the chemicals I can no longer stand to eat it. So no banana flavored anything!

That reminds of my first trip to the south and my aunts on the family farm wanted to cook for us, little did I realize that our food was what was running around outside. Yes it doesn't get any more fresh than that. It was a life altering experience. LOL
