Foods you love and hate

Love: swede, really 'gummy' dates, anything Asian (Thai, Indian, Japanese, Vietnamese, and especially Chinese; I cook a lot from Fuschia Dunlop's cookbooks and think they're brilliant), big bowls of white rice, jam roly poly and rice pudding, mushrooms. I love most foods, to be honest!

Hate: I don't think there's anything I 'hate' - it's more like I wouldn't choose to eat something if I had a choice. Tuna steaks don't do it for me, nor does the thought of moussaka (maybe that's just a bad school dinner memory), or raisins that are really gritty.

Love: chocolate, chips, pasta
Hate: anything that involves olives or rye bread

I used to hate cilantro, too. With a sincere passion. Was one of the people it tastes like Palmolive dish soap to.

Note the past tense. Apparently your taste buds can change on this one since mine did in my late 30s. I don't seek it out, but I now use it in a few recipes calling for it where I used to omit it (e.g., salsas, enchiladas, steak tacos, etceteras).

I'm not a fan of salted/pickled things. I have a hard time eating most cured or deli meats.
I could eat cheese all day; but not cheddar. I guess I am low risk for gout then, haha.

I love guavas, melons, dragon fruit, apples, all sorts of fruit basically. Chocolate, except for the minty kinds and chocolate + fruit combination which I hate. Hummus. Big salads, vegetables, Italian style pizza, sandwiches! My favorite food is frozen yoghurt. All healthy except that I go overboard with chocolate, and I absolutely can't be near cereal, I can finish a whole box in one sitting. I also like soft boiled or poached eggs.

I can't stand beets, most types of meat, especially red meat. I don't like oily dishes, mayo, all kinds of potatoes, even potato chips. Shellfish. Bacon, meatballs, processed meat products. I don't like Thai food, it's grassy, fishy, soupy and spicy. Vietnamese food, Indonesian food. Eastern European food (too much meat), French food, Spanish food. Can't stand Chinese food. It's generalizing and there is definitely some things from French cuisine that I love but I would never choose to eat at a French or Spanish restaurant. Not crazy about pasta. I don't like cheese much, except maybe on pizza but it has to have other toppings to overpower the cheese.

I am sooo incredibly picky!
