My main rule: no invertebrates. That rule seems to just about cover everything.
That means only things with endoskeletons. If it has an exoskeleton or no skeleton, forget it. It's not natural. :p Organ meats, too, are not attached to the endoskeleton in the same manner as proper endoskeletal muscular tissue (i.e. real meat), so they are inedible under my rule. :) I remember that whole conversation you and beckoa had about clams. |
My only hard and fast rule--
Sweet corn DOES NOT belong on Pizza, niether does Tuna. (its a bizzare British thing I JUST DONT GET). Other than that I prefer my onions cooked so I cant recognise them, unless they are on a burger. Pickles are DEFINATELY optional. |

My three biggest --
1. Deep dish pizza is an abomination. Chicago does many things well, pizza is not one of them. 2. Chili is made with cubed beef (NOT GROUND), chili peppers, garlic, spices, perhaps a tomato product, paste or puree (NOT DICED). That's it. No beans. No onions. No bell peppers. 3. French toast should be served plain. No cinnamon, no powdered sugar, no syrup. You wouldn't put these things on your eggs, why would you put them on french toast? OK, one more -- cheez whiz is not cheese, therefore should not be on a cheesesteak sandwich French toast is a kind of "toast", the eggs are along for the ride. The rest of you are such picky eaters - there are only a few things i don't like ... celery - nasty bitter stuff ... one need be highly vigilant regarding tuna salad as picking out every last piece can be so tedious (though absolutely necessary). A year of unlimited FC upgrades could not get me to go near "chow mein". caraway seeds -- another area requiring vigilance (see: rye bread, goulash, etc.) olives - more nasty bitter stuff cucumbers -- no, in any form, including pickles and tartar sauce! tomatoes -- cooked only, no matter how finely you chop them, raw tomatoes are raw! pineapple - The Deity created this substance only to use the juice in pina coladas. Otherwise, it has no value whatsoever. strawberries - substitute "shortcake" for "pina coladas" above breaded, fried shrimp -- too many memories of dining hall horrors, no matter tripe -- just no ... except andouillette sausages, which rate a "Dear God, NO!" broccoli and cauliflower -- straight from the Depths of Hell to your supermarket! hot and sour soup, tom yum, etc. -- people like sipping heated-up vinegar? Meanwhile, you folks scoff at the idea of a healthy dollop of mayo to round out a roast beef sandwich? And speaking of beef, medium is barely tolerable, anything rare-er and you might as well just pour the blood into a glass and drink it. |

<Yawn> My mom would have made that in her Crock Pot maybe 35 years ago... |

^^^ It's not even allowed in my house.
I had a friend stay with me for a short period of time and this person actually likes the stuff. I gave him special dispensation to keep a small jar in the refrigerator, well hidden in the back, and he was required to eat it out of my view:p. I will eat french fries if and only if there's mayo. |

Condiments should be banished :)

I have a couple, but one springs to mind right away
1) No buffet raw shellfish. If I didn't see it die, no raw clam will enter my mouth. 2) Be adventurous and try new things! |
My strongest rule is not to judge others.
I've found that food is above all things, a personal taste and preference. As much as we can say "Oh I had a bad experience with that" or "I don't like it because the texture", everyone has their own built in love or hate of food and sometimes we can't explain it. Therefore, I don't judge or even say "how can you eat that!? to people anymore. |
When I was a kid I of course I never liked to mix the foods on my plate -- there needed to be a division of each item and I never understood why my parents would let most of the items intermingle. Now I am the opposite, and feel the flavors of mixing things together is usually always better than the individual parts.
These days my only food rule is that it is only OK to eat at McDonald's when traveling in China. |
My rule is that it's okay, even interesting, to watch you eat whatever and even offer me some; but when I decline, just chew on and don't try to make a convert.

Mr b1513 tortures me to taste things he's eating. If I wanted what he is eating I would have ordered it. I rarely accommodate him so he ought to give it up. I also don't like people wanting to taste my food either.
Bobette I violated one of my food rules posted above and tasted my dining companion's sea urchin at Daniel last night in NYC. :eek: Must've been the pre-dinner Hendrick's and tonic lowering my defenses. While the preparation was fantastic (it was Daniel, after all), the thought that it came from this spindly blob of organs and mucous and stuff prevented me from enjoying it. Fortunately, I was able to wash it down with wagyu beef. ;) |
