AIBU to refuse to serve ds1 friend a bacon roll with tomatoe sauce?

It is my humble opinion that some foods only go with certain sauces

So making bacon rolls for ds's friends (teenagers) I refused to serve a bacon roll with tomatoe sauce to one of them as it gives me the willies...

I can happily make and serve bacon rolls with brown sauce or even barbeque sauce, but tomatoe sauce is a major no no.

I have said the friend may enter the kitchen and put his tomatoe sauce on but I refuse to do it (mainly because the thought of it makes my skin crawl)

Is it reasonable to refuse a food request based soley on the fact the requested combination makes you be a little bit sick in your mouth at the thought of it?

I also turned down this friends request for a ham and tomatoe sauce sandwich last summer, saying he could have it with pickle, salad cream or mayo but no way was I putting tomatoe sauce on ham.

(he may think I'm nuts )

Bacon sarnies need tomato sauce. But if it makes you boak then hand the bacon butty and the ketchup to the teenager, and high-tail it outta there.

Oh, and I think menkle was supposed to be a teenagery pronunciation of mental. It helps if you say it out loud.
