Now that's an abomination! I don't want blue translucent anything to drink. 1% milkfat is the least acceptable.

For those occasions on which one is needing one's toast faster than it can naturally cool to room temperature, I discovered that holding the slice in front of this quickly cools it. ^^

As a fifth degree vegan, I refuse to eat anything that casts a shadow.

Things I don't eat:
1) Mushrooms or other edible fungi. Things that are that closely related to the gunk that grows on your feet are not food! (Yeast, used as a leavener or fermenter is fine. Marmite is probably out.)

2) Shellfish, worms, bugs, or other invertebrates. "Ewww, bugs!"

3) Most condiments
3a) Mayo or miracle whip is right out on anything.
3b) Non-honey mustard
3c) Most salad dressings. (Ranch or honey mustard is OK, as long as it's not too thick and not mayo-based.)

4) Organ meats

5) Heads/claws/feet/hooves - and leaving those attached to otherwise yummy things makes them inedible until rectified.

6) Cuts where the bone-to-meat ratio is too high (ie, chicken wings, although good ribs are just low enough to qualify as food.)

7) Salmon, unless smoked.
7a) Any other fish, if prepared in a manner which leaves it "mushy."

8) Sweet American cheese on a hamburger, unless it's from a fast food place.

9) Diet sodas, except for Coke Zero.

10) Weird vegetables: artichokes, coliflower, eggplant, squash, pumpkin or anything else weird/gross looking or squash-like

11) Red onions.
11a) Other onions, if raw. (Raw non-red onions are OK on sandwiches and good on burgers, but are to be left on briefly for flavor and then removed before eating.)

12) Most non-wheat (whether whole or white) breads
12a) Regular "American" squishy loaves are really only good for toast or grilled cheese, too
12b) French-style loaves shouldn't be squishy
12c) Whole-wheat bread shouldn't taste sweetened.

13) Anything stir-fried

14) Coffee, or anything coffee flavored.

15) Anything except tea in hot black/green tea (although toasted rice is "tea" if it's genmaicha)
15a) No sugar in iced tea unless there is a LOT of lemon, or it's a sweetened milk tea
16b) No milk in tea except for the sweetened milk tea, ie from a boba place

16) Unsweatened "flavored" waters

17) Grapefruit or pomelo.

18) Un-pitted peaches, apricots or plums (although all three are yummy if pitted or if I've got a knife handy to do it myself.)

19) Solid tofu, or any tofu-based faux-meat. (Tofu or soy in things that are not faux-meat are fine if I can't tell it's there.)

I don't mind beets, in moderation. One of my favorite restaurants puts them into their salad (House of Prime Rib, in San Francisco.)

Definitely something that would be gross in greater quantity, though.

Ewww, yuck. Mayo. Only slightly less evil than mushrooms.

Jelly/jam should NEVER be added to open-faced peanut butter toast.
When using the heel of the loaf for such, it takes much, much longer to cool to room temperature, and it takes moral character to resist prematurely slathering and risking melty results.

But what would life be without struggle?

When you put Vegemite on bread you must spread it thinly.

Hot toast with margarine and Vegemite, mmmmmm

Unless it has caused projectile vomiting in the past, it is edible.

If having caused said projectile vomiting, it is inedible under any and all circumstances.

no condiments (no ketchup, mustard, mayo), I like things dry.
no soda
cooked meat has to be medium well, but I eat lots of sushi
my one guilty pleasure is butter. It goes on everything, and I never substitute margarine.

Like "****"? If by that you mean excrement, I guess excrement tastes a lot better than I would have thought.

Toasted english muffin with melted Peanut butter (smooth, never ever chunky). But peanut butter and jelly on fresh soft Marti's potato bread for a sandwich. Peanut butter applied to both sides evenly with jelly in the middle so the bread doesn't get soggy.

Eggs need to be over easy so they are runny when I put them on lightly toasted bread. Need to dunk in the drippings too. Bacon should be crispy but not burnt and not limp.

Never ever yellow mustard. Spicy brown on hotdogs, cold cuts and soft pretzels.

Ketchup only on hamburgers and fries. (Must be Heinz)

Sweet relish and onions also acceptable for hot dogs and hamburgers. (Never sourkraut on my hot dogs - Blech)

Icecubes do not belong in milk, but milk must be icy cold.

Ice Cream needs texture so any additions like chips or fudge or caramel works.

Miracle whip only! Especially with egg salad and deviled eggs. Mayo always tastes sour to me.

Ice in milk is just wrong
