[Food] How fussy are you with food ?
- Thread starter WATFORD zero
- Start date
I'm not fussy about food, I'm more fussy about who's made it or who else has touched it.
If I'm presented with a buffet at a social gathering I'll often casually ask who has made which specific food items and the response I receive will then dictate what I choose and what I avoid. For the same reasons I'll also avoid the platters certain guests have had their fingers in.

Drat! and double drat!
I will eat anything, sadly restricted by my weird NSLTP allergy..anaphylaxis is a bit of a bummer..

Your support is not that great
No red meat for me thanks. Or foie gras. Not very keen on sweet potatoes either. Will give most other things a try if they’re ethically sourced and not ultra processed

Rhubarb is delightful, but with you on the way with 'snips'. Hugely overrated, especially at Christmas time. Swede I can very much live without too, but everything else -- if cooked well -- is worth a go.

Shame if you’re in Hastings, as the fish from the net huts and Rye Bay scallops are unbeatable
What sort of Scandiwegian are you? My wife’s finlandssvensk grandmother wrote a few cooking books, like Karin’s Kokbok
and a book of dozens of ways to prepare herring, which I sadly don’t have a copy of
Fish and seafood - lovely!
Anything that’s got fennel in it.
Anying that’s got ochre in it.
And plantain.
And dates.
I don’t understand how they are a food. Grim.
Other than those, I’ll eat pretty much anything.

Mushrooms, parsnips and blue cheese.
I was expecting a debate around prairie oysters and the like.
Instead we have a load of lightweights moaning about mushrooms and anchovies. And custard.
FFS.
Alright some classics from school dinners I love:
Semolina
Tapioca
Spam fritters
Spotted dick and custard
From holidays in the 60s
Winkles
Cockles
Mussels
Cheeses from adulthood
Bleu D'Auvergne
Stinking bishop
Vacherin
Fish from travels
All and any, raw or cooked
Things I'd avoid
The fish that the Inuit bury and let rot
Parts of animals that isn't skeletal muscle, skin, liver, kidney, blood or heart
Anything homo, primate, ursida, equida, delphinida, folivora, canis or felis.

I'm with you there although I quite like a bit of very mild goats cheese with honey but I'd never buy it.
The exception is marmite which I love so much I buy the extra strong version.

Happy with a slice of toast (providing it's not mouldy) and it can often get to 4pm before I realise I've forgotten lunch sometimes in the week.
Food just doesn't bother me at all. Sleep on the other hand - if I don't get 8/9 hours then I can struggle physically the next day.

As my alter ego Danny Bakero might say, "Food. Fecking food. Imagine not being into it. Those poor, poor half-alive bastards".
