Vegemite....

Oh, you non-antipodean cretin!!! I, on the other hand, will eat pretty much anything other than Marmite... (A matter of principle, of course.)

Actually, I have been known to spit out toast after unknowingly spreading (barfpukegag) sweetened peanut butter on it. And I can't stand the texture of pears and fijoas.

Even though I certainly like some stuff a lot better than others, about the only thing I'm likely to find in a dish and pick out is excessive amounts of raw onion (mostly because of the onion breath burps hours later - TMI? ), and when I'm going through the desert menu I stay away from sloppy, blandish things like custard (but why would anyone choose anything other than the chocky laden cake/mouse/whatever if it's on offer?).

I think I'm another texturally influenced diner. Crunchy is good. Chewy is decent. Sloppy better have a lot of flavour. Gritty is bad.

Probably would eat bugs if someone dared me... (See "crunchy is good." )

Ew - can't stand the texture of pears either. And I don't eat anything that is served in it's house - oysters, mussels, lobster, crab. No veal, no innards. I tried calamari - nih! It's OK, but not anything I'd go out of my way for. Oh, and keep cashews away from me, ick.

On the other hand, we have a new Vietnamese restaurant in town, Anise Cafe, I am in love with Corn Fritters. And Fondant au Chocolate from the Left Bank, and garlic fries at Rosie McCann's......
