I'll give you skimmed milk OP... tis unnatural. The rest you are on your own with.

poshwellies · 03/04/2010 22:31

Skimmed milk is water with a dash of dairy.

KnottyLocks · 03/04/2010 22:53

Olives - like 'em
Sprouts - nice with garlic, lemon juice and lardons
marzipan - it's ok
skimmed milk - no, but don't drink milk anyway

However...
Apricots must die.
No food should have fur and string.
Just wrong.
And they are sneaky little sods, lulling you in with their peachy little faces and their fragrant smell...before they assult your throat with string making you gag and wrapping their fur round your teeth.
I do not wear fur and neither do my teeth.
Begone you temptatious duplicitious work of the devil.

roulade · 04/04/2010 08:34

ofteh = of the!

pranma · 04/04/2010 14:08

Hate coconut in cakes and macaroni-they squeak!!
hate marzipan and olives love sprouts not keen on aubergine except in moussaka.Skimmed milk is ok.

NormalityBites · 04/04/2010 14:34

From the 'meat' section: Tripe, tongue, kidneys, chicken livers, cheap sausages with that mushy indefinable texture, and black pudding can all go. Also that sliced meat in the shape of a teddy bear's head and corned beef.

From the fruit and veg section: Cooked beetroot, fennel, raisins, figs, apricots, olives, those long thin reedy mushrooms that are like biting a spongy straw. Everything else can stay and broad beans are the food of the gods.

Marzipan can go, as can marmite.....and all milk really unless on cereal or in cooking.

wuglet · 04/04/2010 15:01

YASOBU (sort of BU)

Olives - green ones are nice, not fusssed about black ones. (I too trained myself to like them as I consider myself to be the sort of person who should like olives )

Marzipan - OK in small quantities ie one marzipan chocolate, not as cake covering.

Skimmed milk - yummy, can't have anything else in coffee AND it gets colder in the fridge so is a nicer drink (ok that last might not be true but I think that fat tastes warm )

Sprouts - can take or leave them.

I would add...

most cheese (not halloumi, mozzarella or edam but that's about it)

lamb

errrr think that's all.
