    Thank you so much for posting the link. You deliver, man.

    I was thinking about your growing list overnight, and came up with a list of foods with a fairly even ratio of carbs, fats, and proteins. Nuts don't make this list either. Too high in fat.

    I have to admit - and this is a vegetarian perspective, and a narrow one, besides - that this list is making me feel even sadder that it's so hard to find beet greens (without also buying beets, which are IMO tasty but annoying to cook). Beet greens are the *most delicious greens ever*.

    I hated olives for the longest time. I once tried a whole one and almost vomited from the taste. Swore never to have them again.

    Then, a few weeks ago, I was in subway and was like "whatever, let's try that again." And ordered my salad with them.


    Still hated them and they made my salad worse.

    Obviously you just haven't had a professional prepare them correctly for you ;)

    These are my personal favorites:

    Another person who dislikes seafood here (meaning all fish/shellfish regardless of the saltiness of the water :wink: ). I will involuntarily gag if something even smells "fishy," and I do regularly try fish, scallops, shrimp, etc. It's just never gotten better in almost thirty years of trying. *shrugs* I'm not too fussed about it. There's plenty of other things I like and eat. Life is too short to try to force myself to eat foods I don't enjoy.

    This guy gets it. ^

    Lol, it's crazy to think as a chef how many people are so inexperienced with food. I can't even fathom the monotonous everyday routine that some of you have with your meals. It's like involuntary palate slavery.

    Lol It's crazy to think as a logical human being how one could determine that someone else is "inexperienced with food", "has a monotonous everyday routine", and/or "partakes in involuntary palate slavery" due solely to a dislike of olives.

    Sounds pretty irrational to me! As if a quest for the ideal olive would suddenly change your tastes!

    *dies* I totally just had a picture flash into my brain of some guy standing on a hilltop hand raised to the sky clutching a sun-ray illuminated olive crying, "Finally, I've found it!"

    Could you post this on Google Drive and link it? Then people can filter, browse, and sort at their leisure.

    Yes please! That would be awesome!

    I guess I should repost this on every page of this thread... ;)
