Title: Any finicky eaters or odd rules?
Post by: Martin_1962 on 30 January 2010, 20:33:50
Well does anyone not eat certain foods or have certain little rules for eating.

I have a meat rule which is slightly odd.

I do not eat non chordates, I suppose that is a bit weird

No idea what chordates are. :-/ ::)

Mrs albs says that I am a finnicky eater just because I dont like eggs , liver,kidney,chicken, turkey,fish (apart from salmon),dark chocalate,drinking chocolate,ovaltine,coffee,semolina,tapioka,custard, cheese sauce or any type of white sauce,dates. figs, Marzipan, coconut, bourbon biscuits and I have recently gone right off yoghurt.
Other than those (and probably more that I cant remember atm) I will eat anything put in front of me. ::) :D ;D

Also, currants, raisins and any other dried fruit.

Chordates are the organisms that have a rod like cartilagenous structure called notochord which gives rise to nervous system. These have pharyngeal gill slits.

Nonchordates are the organisms that do not have a notochord. These do not have pharyngeal gill slits.

So now you know ....

SWMBO isn't fussy but suffers lots of food allergies so she can't eat loads of things... I have a rule that I don't have anything in the house she can't eat (generally) and don't normally eat anything she can't if we're together, although that goes out the window when we go out sometimes ::) ::)

    * Nonchordates are animals which do not have a vertebral column or a backbone. Earthworm and cockroach are examples of nonchordates.

So Martin's rule is he won't meat from an animal with no back-bone.

Means that Brown and Blair will not be canabalised by Martin.

Actually, I have a weird one myself.

I won't eat scrambled egg, but will eat fluffy (which is eggs whipped up with bit of butter etc).  ::)


Apparently, when I was little, I wouldn't eat eggs, so Grandma called it fluffy instead, and I loved it ;D.  Its always stuck.

Rice Pudding, was forced to eat it at school (Was'nt allowed to leave the table till plate was empty)  They spent another 20 mins mopping the result up.  Just the smell now makes me heave.

Same with kippers at my Nan when I was 8 years old.

Hate deicated coconut.

Love haggis and black pudding, but cant even stand the thought of trying tripe.

Love strawberry but not the tanngy taste from Grapefruit, lemons and totally detest Pineapple.


No major issues with most other foods, not a fan of spicey /hot foods, like them at the time, it's the results the next 24/48 that put me off the stuff.

As I've mentioned repeatedly, I'm plagued by vegetarians: wife, younger son, daughter, son-in-law.  Barmy.  No sympathy whatsoever.

Not allowed to cook kippers or liver - wife can't stand the smell.  Damn sight better than "roasted vegetables", if you ask me. 

In principle, I would eat almost anything, except for the fact that I'm grossly overweight, so I can't.  Don't like broccoli.  And as for cheese sauce - once a year is sufficient. :) :) :)

Can't stick marmalade in any shape or form. The only peas i can eat are petit pois. I remember dinner ladies @ primary school with trays of marrowfat peas in rancid smelling green water....disgusting & as for mushy peas they are the spawn of satan. How can anyone ruin a fish supper with this radioactive muck?
    Lastly despite loving a drink if gin was the only tipple that existed i'd lead a life of sobriety, just the smell makes me want to blow chunks!!! :'(

Would crawl across broken glass for a good Ulster fry uncle Z, or a pastie supper soaked in vinegar. :y ;D

My weird eating mainly comes down to the fact that any non vertabrate I have tried tastes or smells disgusting.

But then Sue said she would try a scallop but not venison, me other way round.

Yet I have had rabbit and have threatened to bring home road kill - eg the suicide birds (pheasants?).

I like sprouts, hate peas, hate liver, like brocolli, detest chocolate icecream, don't like bourbons, not keen on chocolate cake, yet love chocolate, and choc ices, choclate digestives ect ect

What a strange lot you are. I bet you are the very people with 40% of your supermarket purchases thrown straight in the bin. I also bet you don't cook much for yourselves.

Mrs Varche says that you all could do with a quick clip round the lughole followed by three weeks under the rubble in Haiti. That would soon cure you of "I don't eat xxxx" or "I can't stand fruit" and so on.

Yeah! But not keen on potatoes - never have been.  Like skinny chips, very crisp roasties, baked potato skins and some crisps, but won't touch boiled or mashed spuds. 

I wasn't able to eat fruit - gave me very severe heartburn - or brown bread - too polite to mention what that did - for years.  Then I hurt my elbow - yes, elbow - I can distinguish it from other parts of my anatomy - and by what turned out to be a fortunate series of events, I can now eat almost everything.  Except broccoli.  <-- Note spelling!

Not us!  If it's more or less the same colour and texture as it started out and provided the cat doesn't run out of the kitchen when we open the packet, then it can generally be used, regardless of "use by" dates.

Double cream doesn't improve with age, but we only buy it once a year (for the christmas pud).
