I will not eat boiled or canned veggies unless someone serves it to me, the guest. The first time I went to visit DBF at his house in AZ, he had BEGGED his parents to make what his family usually does for Christmas dinner when I was there. They always do Norwegian meatballs, lefse, cranberries and...green bean casserole. DBF, thankfully, won't eat green beans in casserole form. That still meant choking down a serving of tinned green beans.

I will not eat liver or organ meat in any form. Nor will I eat anything gooey, squishy or gelatinous, invertebrates, or veal. If said gooey/squishy/gelatinous thing is of vegetable origin, I'll try a bit to be polite. (And occasionally, it turns out to be good!) If it's of animal origin...no. I have mild allergies to "undercooked" soy products and peanuts. (I can eat tofu, soy sauce and roasted peanuts with no trouble--if it's been fermented or cooked at high temperatures, I'm good. But no soy milk or edamame for me.) I don't particularly like red wine or beer (well, for the most part), but I can get through a glass.

DBF is a picky eater on top of having odd food allergies. He's allergic to bananas, melons with the exception of one hard-to-find variety, black olives and sulfites. I do most of the cooking, and have yet to make something that he doesn't like (his mom was amazed) but I'm waiting. Oh, and nothing can be touching anything else on his plate. I let him serve himself. I've broken him of that habit at least for curries and things. (No, dear, the sauce goes ON the rice...)
