    I hate cucumbers, but I'll eat pickles... Heh...

    I have a friend that was unaware that calamari was squid and freaked out when she got the little whole squid rather than the bland little rings.

    I like cucumber and picked cucumbers but not pickles/gerkins. They aren't cucumbers exactly are they? more a relation. A gross relation that you want to kick out of any burger.

    Not me personally, but my sister will not eat eggs unless it's a McDonald's Egg McMuffin. I know quite a bit of people who don't like tomatoes, but they like ketchup. I find it funny.

    For as long as I can remember, I have not eaten hot dogs. My mom says I ate them when I was very little, but she always called them wieners. We were at a picnic when I was 3 years old, and someone asked me if I wanted a hot dog. Apparently, I was shocked, and I said, "A hot puppy dog?" and never ate another hot dog again.

    Capers are a type of berry that's generally brined or pickled. They come, unsurprisingly, from the caper bush. :bigsmile:

    Funny - I won't touch ketchup, but I love tomatoes! Well, good tomatoes from a garden - not usually from the store.

    Oh I have one. I HATE raisins with a passion. But I love grapes.
    Hate tomatoes, like ketchup.
    I didn't know what head cheese was, but I knew it sounded gross. Now that I know what it is...it still sounds gross lol
