Just read about this on the BBC site, does strike me as rather odd that someone can only eat chips or cheese. Anything else they can't handle. I'm surprised the guy with the French wife has not been divorced! I have mates who are not adventurous, as a kid I was taught that I had to try something and only then could I say it's not for me. I still adopt that attitude now. When I go on holiday, I always try the local food. It astounds me people who are abroad and will only eat mcdonalds or the likes because that what they know. Still, each to their own I suppose - however it sometimes produces these extremes www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/programmes/freaky_eaters/ |

Morning Hurls ;D I saw the programme with the cheese guy on and it was really wierd! He had never had a hot meal and gagged when he put a bit of chicken in his mouth! Made me laugh as it reminded me of a programme about phobias a few years ago when this guy was shit scared of baked beans. He could not even look at a can without wanting to heave. Funny thing was they worked out his bean phobia was brand specific and he could in fact hold a can of beans as long as they werent Heinz!  |

Alright G!  You should have seen the cheese guy though. He could cook for his family but when they had a BBQ he cooked up all this nice food and then hid in the corner nibbling cheese as he was embarrassed! The bean guy was wierd though. Co-op beans were the best for him to hold as they looked 'less like a can of beans' than the others! All they managed to get him to do eventually was to cook some beans without gagging. He would never eat them. |

Hehe I saw that one as well! I cant imagine only eating spaghetti hoops all the time its just plain wrong! On a slightly better gastronomic level I was in a very nice restaurant in Guildford on Saturday and had a Tournedo Rossini which is basically fillet steak with fois gras on the top. £24 and worth every penny it was awesome |

That sounds fucking champion, I love foie gras in any guise! One christmas my auntie bought too much, it's not got a long shelf life once out of it's tin - so I was having it on toast for breakfast! |

My sister's discovered an interesting one with my nephew... He pointedly refuses to try almost anything you put in front of him, until he finds out that either me or my brother eat it.
"What's that?"
"Parsnip."
"Ughhhh~!"
"It's Uncle Jamie's favourite."
"... *tries* Mmm~"
The 'interesting' bit is that he can always tell when she's just saying it to try to get him to try it and when she's telling the truth!

He obviously looks up to you as some kind of culinary god Neko! ;D
Funny thing you mention parsnips as there are a couple of things I dont get on with and parsnips are one of them. Also turnip and swede. I can eat swede but it has to be mashed up in that scandinavian way that Hurlock may be familiar with as I am sure the Polaks do the same.

I only ever eat swede mashed too - mashed up with carrot is my preferred choice, though I've not tried many others, and I'm not a parsnip fan either. He has indeed acknowledged me as a good cook though; he adores my cookies for a start I'm gonna try him on this one dish I've not made for a while; cajun-style chicken, bacon, broccoli and cauliflower with udon noodles. Bloody gorgeous, very healthy, very easy to make and nice and colourful too!  |
