When both of my daughters were born, they were horrendous screamers. Really "colicky." Turns out that dairy products upset their systems. So for as long as my wife breastfed, she couldn't eat any dairy. By the time they're about 2 years old, though, my kids can handle modest amounts of dairy. They still stick to soy milk, but my four-year-old's favorite lunch is pasta and cheese (melted parmesan/mozzarella).

Cheese - except on pizzas.

Allergic to onions?

WOW!

Grand Marnier, orangejuice and oranges

I normally end up with servere stomach pains...

When I was a very little kid I used to love those Vienna sausages, right out of the can. And over here in France I lived on the really cheap saurkraut in a can for a while.

I'm gagging as I type this...

I've got no allergies that I know of.

I used to hate the smell of fish... not for any medical reason, I just really disliked it.

Lately, I don't find it so bad. I eat pretty much anything, nowadays.

If you can stomach MacDonalds... you can stomach anything.

Indeed, good call.

We just completed a minor study (just for class) of the family Anacardiacaea, of which mangos, poison ivy, cashews, and pistachio's are all members.

Interestingly, cashew nuts themselves contain toxic oils. If the nuts are not refined well enough via roasting (to evaporate said oils), then their consumption can prove rather... painful. It's a common misconception that the irritant oil only resides in the shell of the cashew nut (you can buy shelled peanuts, and there's a reason you can't readily buy shelled cashews...).

iWrite, perhaps you are simply more sensitive to said oils than most people, to the point where commercial refinement of cashews isn't enough for you. I wonder if you had very heavily roasted cashews whether the problem would present itself or not...

Deep fried turkey does it for me.

Mayonnaise. Can't stand it. Nothing worse than the surprise mayo on sandwich ordered dry- that first bite gets the gag reflex going.

I get the willies just thinking about it.

Same here. My family used to eat a ton of Vienna sausage because aside from the fact that the kids liked it (my sister and me) it was dirt cheap.

But I don't gag, I just don't like eating it. I don't have the violent reactions that some people seem to have.

I do feel bad for some of you though. No garlic? And onions? Or fish? Or...gasp...beer? Mercy.

Well, to each their own.

I loooooooove mayonnaise. Nothing worse than the suprise mayo left out or not in sufficiently lugubrious portions on the sandwich ordered sloppy wet. Almost as bad is when the mayonnaise is that crappy artificial soybean oil crap or <shudder> when some dumbass confuses Miracle Whip with real mayonnaise.

Back in the heady days of the Internet boom, I created a humor site dedicated to the love of mayonnaise called the Mayonnaiseum. Ah, sweet, sweet (but not literally sweet, a la Miracle Whip) mayonnaise!

I think it's a photoshop, or an employee's joke, of an In-N-Out burger (can tell by the cup and the table coloring what restaurant it is).

I count 24 patties. Ewww.

You know, something, Cipher? You're DEFINITELY right...there IS something going on there. My spouse and kids ate the same cashews. Nothing happened to them. On a test, I ate 4 of them. I got sick again -- not nearly as sick, though, but still got sick. Next day ate the other nuts in the can and nothing happened.

Yer always a smart one, yep, you are...

I think it may be freaking real. In-N-Out will make a burger as big as you want it. Now is that made animal style or not? And does it really matter at that point?

Little debbie oatmeal creme pies.

If you've ever been food poisoned, you know it is the worst feeling in the world. Waste is not meant to come out of both ends simultaneously.

You want to die.

malvolio · Nov 14, 2003, 01:26 AM

The Scandinavians have come up with some pretty disgusting items of "food." Like lutefisk, fish cured in lye. Or riisipuroa, a rice pudding that bears an uncanny resemblance in appearance and texture to a bowl of snot.

Wow. I can't believe that no one else here has a poor reaction to Soylent Green. Sure, it varies from person to person, but still....

Luca Rescigno · Nov 14, 2003, 06:16 PM

I've only had liver once, by accident. I thought it was a little steak wrapped in bacon... no, it was liver wrapped in bacon. After two bites I realized something was wrong and I felt kind of sick.

Oysters. I had an oyster once, and it was like snot but instead of a neutral flavor it was sharply vinegar-like. I couldn't chew it, I couldn't swallow it, I had to run to the bathroom and spit it out (this was a really fancy restaurant too).

Papaya. It smells like vomit and tastes like... well... liver I guess. Maybe I just had a bad papaya, but I've tried papayas more than once and every time I just get a bit queasy in their presence.

Overly creamy dressing. I don't get sick from creamy gravy, I just don't like it. But my dorm last year had some creamy dressing out. I thought it was caesar dressing (which I'm fine with), but it was actually about three times as thick and semi-tasteless. Just about made me puke though. Now I can't have salad at the dorm.

Speaking of dorm food, I get "the squirts" every few weeks living and eating here. It's really pissing me off especially since the school charges so damn much for their REQUIRED meal plans. Seriously... if you're going to make us pay $7 a meal, at least don't serve infected food! Ah well, I'll be living in an apartment next year anyway.
