Heaven: most food!

Hell: fruit that looks good but isn’t - fuzzy apples, sour oranges or pomegranates, sandwiches where the bread has gone damp, preparing fish (eating it is good!).

Heaven - stodgy carbs with a hangover

Hell - onion, onion powder and anything from the allium family. This is only since covid

I’ve gone from the person who will eat anything to the fussiest person in the world as anything with onion (even the smell) makes me vomit. Oh - and onion powder is in a lot more things than you think!
