When I lived in Reno I had a neighbor whose favorite thing was to take a white or walla-walla onion, peel the skin off it, slice a bit off the top and bottom, spread some garlic butter on the top, then wrap it all up in tin foil and put it on his BBQ while he grilled up steaks and corn on the cob. I don't remember how long it took, but when he took them off the grill he'd give you a whole cooked onion to slice up and put on your steak or eat as a side dish. I remember it tasted awesome and the inner most heart of the onion was so tender and delicious! He said he learned it from his 1st generation Italian grandmother. I've tried doing it myself... it's just not the same.

 

I won't eat refried beans, ever, I don't even want them on my plate. If the beans were bad to begin with, why refry them? Not a fan of tomatoes raw, but in a stew or chili they're fine. Also at a restaurant I won't order the same thing someone else has ordered. Even if that's what I wanted to begin with, weird I know, I'm working on that oddity of mine.

 

Saturday night was pizza night, mom would make a pizza for us kids and one for her and dad.

I still do this except I can't find appian way pizza kits anymore.

Plus there's really good frozen pizza, since I go out Saturday night it's Sunday pizza for lunch and of course for the football game.

 

I don’t think I have many oddities. I don’t t like avocados but I like quac.

I like most all fruit but not fruit pies, except Dutch apple.

 

I'm about to feed whatever is under the sunroom cayenne pepper

 

Not a big fan of Cesar Salad and Egg Salad

i have the palate of a 5 year old when it comes to salads

 

Bread. I fucking love bread

 

Shooter can't eat Avacados or anything with Avacado in it.
His brother had to eat one every day when he was like 8 years old, and because we were brothers, Shooter had to eat one of the things as well.
There. Just threw up a bit in the mouth.

 

Jello. It's disgusting.

 

I eat nothing green

 

I am simple, no mustard because I am allergic as hell, no sourcream because if well digestive issues but love the taste, most fish is out but love shell fish, absolutely love cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese because it is the god of foods, all gravies are perfect, fries have to be triple fried or completely limp, meats well done because I got food poisoning from a rare steak as a kid, love shark steaks just not the blue shark, I love "ethnic foods" like tripe, lingue, cabrito, pan, naan, tandori anything, and even kimchi. Pho is my favorite soup, my guilt snack is loaded nachos with triple cheese, spiced ground beef, salsa, avacado, and sauteed onions.

 

Eggs: Sunny Side Up


I only can eat the yellow part
(Though I hear the white is the healthier part)

As a kid,(psychologically, ha) the yellow was the main part (the meat) while the white represented the feathers (I know, gross, right?)

 

Now take the hard boiled egg.

Again, as a kid, let’s compare it to the orange. First you peel off the skin then eat the inside.
So I would uncover the white to get to the center and heart of the treat.

the texture of the white was nasty, was like chewing on fat of meat. Yuk.

follow me for more thoughts about eggs.

 

You can be forgiven your quirks with eggs.
At least it isn't Kimchi!

 

I said it before and I’ll say it again,
Avocados are just so high-maintenance.

super healthy but a super pain in the butt
You can wait a week for them to be ready, but then you have 7 secs to eat it lol.

 

I love lobster in ravioli or a pot pie, but don’t put a whole one in front of me… it’s like the cockroach of the sea!

 

Liquid chicken and rice are off limits. If I get onions, they need to be fried until brown.

 

I really love outdoor cooking.
Sometimes I have to run and hide when I see people ruin good food thru stupidity.
A friend of mine had to stop me from taking over at a BBQ.
The ribs turned out dry and tough. ARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!

 

If someone cooks a steak or burger well done, I need a ton of steak sauce to drown it with in order to make it at least edible once again.

 

Love sauerkraut, and Pennsylvania Dutch sweet/sour dishes. Can't stand asparagus or brussels sprouts. And under no circumstances try to serve me a vegetarian (never mind vegan) meal.
