Wow, so many different lists!! I'm a vegetarian but I eat fish (fish-atarian ), so all non-fishy meats are off the list.

Can't stand vinegary and/or mustardy things - mustard, horseradish, wasabi, Tabasco, that sauce they put on buffalo wings. Ketchup is okay, though, and I will do a vinaigrette or oil/vinegar with bread if it's good. Mustard is okay mixed in with some dishes - crab cakes, mac n cheese, potato salad, that kind of thing, but it can't be predominant or overbearing. Malt vinegar is the worst.

I don't like most baked fruit desserts (e.g. apple pie). I don't know what it is, it just doesn't seem right (texture maybe?). I love fruit otherwise. I can tolerate a good bananas foster. I can do sweet potatoes, even the sweet preparation and not just savory, but too sweet and I shut down just like the warm fruit dessert. Muffins aren't bad. Maybe it's just some fruits.

Artichokes are not on my list (too bitter?). I am adjusting to avocados gradually, have to be fresh or I won't eat them.

I'm trying to learn to love yogurt, but most yogurt just makes me make the Mr. Yuk face. I have been quoted saying "I pretend it's frosting, that works until it hits my mouth." (Stonyfield French Vanilla is it so far, or yogurt sauces)

Strong Tea, no. Black licorice, no. Not really a drinker, though I know the taste of a good red wine and a good champagne, and I will sample beer.
