Food dislikes-as guest, but will politely eat

[martinkap]

Good topic. I have always struggled with my food dislikes while visiting anyone because I will not touch or eat under any circumstances:

• water melon
• strawberries

The following items I eat with really a lot of hesitation:

• chocolate and chocolate cakes ... unless it is a white chocolate - I can definitely eat that one
• milk based ice cream - that is just nasty stuff but I can swallow it
• any overly sweet desert (most US desserts) It makes my stomach curl just to think of one
• raisins
• champain

Of course, I am not fan of brains (I do eat them though - just cannot really analyze it too much), and any kinds of insects or weird food. But above dislikes even though very accomodatable in the daily life, makes my 'guest life' quite hard. And talk about trying to explain to a new BF that I really think it is nice that he bought champain and strawberries dipped in chocolate but that I am not really going to touch any of it ...
