THIS. I have tried scotch (going as high as MacAllen 18) and it just doesn't work.

these 2 posts pretty much just ruined my day

keep trying...

jalapenos

more vegetables

My life (or at least food ordering) would be easier if I liked mayonnaise and tomatoes. Mayo is the devil's semen. I hate broccoli, too.

I wish I liked coffee. the idea of meeting someone and having a cup of joe is nice. I can't stand it tho. I'm a hot tea guy.

you sound like pete

Which part?

the mayo hatred

I would eat nothing but broccoli and tomatoes and drink coffee for a week before eating a spoonful of mayonnaise.

broccoli is great

what is it that makes you hate tomatoes and broccoli?

Mayo really is horrific.

I just don't like the taste. To assuage my wife's curiosity, last year I tried a home grown tomato. She thought I just didn't like them as a kid and hadn't tried them since. Now, my palate has grown quite a bit since childhood ( I was a VERY picky kind) but I did not like it at all. It just tasted bad to me. And I will periodically try broccoli, as well. With similar results. If forced to choose between the two, I guess I'd pick the tomato. However, if my choice was starvation or a cheeseburger with mayo, I'll starve. I can't even stand most sauces that are made with it. I can barely stomach ranch dressing made with it. I prefer the sour cream variety.

describe your meals during a typical week

Well, we've been trying to eat somewhat healthier for the last little while but here's an example of some of the stuff we've been making.

Grilled or baked chicken
Fish of some sort
Grilled pork chops
A steak every now and then. Ribeye for me, strip steak for her.
Shrimp

Some kind of sautéed greens - spinach, collard, dandelion
Asparagus
Sweet potatoes
Roasted new potatoes every now and then
Zucchini
Brussels sprouts ( I've recently acquired a taste for them)

Salad greens with cucumber, radish, onions for me and cucumber, radish tomato for her
Sometimes I'll use ranch, sometimes hot bacon grease

Cheap mayo is nasty. Good homemade mayo is awesome.

It took me a while to appreciate mayo.

Avocado. I wish I liked Avocado.

No, i dont want to like Guac.

I like mayo on some things, but I definitely understand how people can find it disgusting. Too much of it is pretty gross.
