YABU about them all especialy the olives, food of the gods!

bobbiewickham · 03/04/2010 21:09

Love 'em all

(well, maybe not skimmed milk, am ambivalent about that)

wukter · 03/04/2010 21:09

You are 50% unreasonable.
Olives and skimmed milk are lovely.

shakingmyfattybumbum · 03/04/2010 21:09

I ate an entire block of marzipan out of my cooking supplies a few weeks ago and it was frigging lovely. Felt really sick afterwards mind you...

ILovePlayingDarts · 03/04/2010 21:09

I Luuuuuuurve olives!

Actually, I do, especially the salty Kalamata ones. (Not so much fun spitting the stones out though.)

differentID · 03/04/2010 21:09

Disagree with sprouts, but I need to add Marmite to the List.

Rockbird · 03/04/2010 21:10

Absolutely, YANBU, YAinfactSpotOn. Add egg yolks and Doritos and you are my dislike twin

stoppinattwo · 03/04/2010 21:11

ok so some are more brainwashed than others....although I shall give you the oliveoil point.....as olive oil smells nothing like olives

I'm sure skimmed milk is just water with white food colouring added

smokinaces · 03/04/2010 21:11

YABU! I loooooove skimmed milk and drink it every day, cant stand any other kind. I adore olives of all kind, and marzipan is yummy especially on home made Christmas Cake. Sprouts are a Christmas thing too and delicious when cooked properly.

YABU so ner ner ner ner

monkeysavingexpertdotcom · 03/04/2010 21:11

Skimmed milk can go. The others must stay. Just asked Dh if there's any food I don't like, and we can't think of anything . Ooh, Okra. Slimy - bleagh.

WorzselMummage · 03/04/2010 21:12

Your right about everything except for skimmed milk.

Milk with fat in turns tea into an oil slick.. rancid !

stoppinattwo · 03/04/2010 21:13

rockbird...i think we should live together and share shopping ....

DifferentID...dont rule out marmite until you have tried it mashed with butter.....and spread veeeeeeeeeery thinly

Marzipan around cakes is ok - marzipan fruits are truly the work of the devil. Once ate a whole packet of them when little on Christmas Day, threw up all night - can't even look at them all lined up up their little boxes now ... (isn't there an Easter vomit smiley??)

Olives - yum, especially the salty Kalamata ones.

stoppinattwo · 03/04/2010 21:14

OMG and couscous....I mean how friggin freakish is that!!!!!!

looks like dried frogspawn!!!

Why do peopel hate marzipan
I could eat chunks of it
Quite like nice sprouts
Don't mind skimmed milk too much
olives - yech. Taste like salty wax

StealthPolarBear · 03/04/2010 21:16

add aubergine

WorzselMummage · 03/04/2010 21:17

Sprouts... I didn't see sprouts on the list. Sprouts are LUSH!

stoppinattwo · 03/04/2010 21:18

SPB.......yes aubergine, completely the wrong texture to eat, and I dont do purple food, except black currant lolipops

stoppinattwo · 03/04/2010 21:19

Worzsel.....sprouts are underdeveloped cabbages and are VOM

WorzselMummage · 03/04/2010 21:21

OOOOooo they are lovely. Cabbage is too !

Collision · 03/04/2010 21:22

ooh I put marzipan into a boiled fruit cake I make and it is lush!

Sprouts - yum - can even eat them cold the next day!

Sk milk - fine as I hate the fattiness in milk

olives - really yummy!

YABVVVVU

But I have to say that nothing should have the flavour of toffee apart from real toffee.

Toffee flavoured yoghurt is vomitous! Bleurgh!
