Preference for foods not in their purest form (1 Viewer)

I was about 12, went to a sleep over and they kept offering me licorice and I was to polite to say no. Think the parents could either tell I hated it and found it funny or thought I loved it because I accepted one.

Anyway, fast forward to 2am on their cream carpet and it all came back up.

I don't think I've seen them since.

Not a lover of Bassetts Allsorts, then Nick? :emoji_smile:

We have a rule in our house with the kids. Eat everything on the plate or you don't get pudding. Not even a single pea. It is very rare they don't eat everything put in front of them.

My daughter has a friend where the mother cooks a separate meal for most of them as they all like different things and dislike so many. That would do my head in.

This is my house. I cook a different meal for everyone. Except Sundays. Have a fuckin roast or lump it haha.

We lived with my grandmother when we were small. She hated airs and graces and didn't want us to grow up posh so the the food was the plainest [German] food she could think of. I only vaguely remember sauerkraut and frankfurters. If it was a special treat ie: birthdays, we were allowed tinned tangerines (or "baby oranges" as our English nannies used to call them). Was relieved (foodwise) when I got to England. You can't imagine how good minced beef in gravy tastes when you've been used to German food, let alone fish & chips.

This is like our house, wife is a veggie and I am not. Eldest won’t eat a lot of meats but youngest loves them so a lot of the time we have variants of three meals

I buy the raw brown organic unrefined sugar (usually get it in an Asian supermarket) instead of the white stuff.
It's more expensive but tastes better and I can fool myself into thinking it's healthier.
I don't use much of it, pretty much only in coffee or on some cereal.
The stuff I have now says on the packet "Muscovado 100% Organic Raw Cane Sugar, Made from our very own homegrown organic-farmed fresh sugarcane".
It's from the Phiilipines.

I once went on holiday to Austria. It's a lovely country and the screnery was magnificent, but the food was the worst I've ever encountered. Even the smell of it would put me off.
The one saving grace was the desserts were excellent and there was never any problem in leaving room for dessert.

One of my brothers married a veggie. She didn't even like him putting meat in the fridge.

But during her first pregnancy she got a massive craving for KFC :smuggrin: She didn't want to eat it but she just had to eat it. Found it absolutely hilarious myself.
