ew, gross

Describe a food you abhor.

Many people would call me a picky eater on account of my vegetarianism. People who eat meat tend to be pretty perplexed ... "what do you eat?!" Well, I eat a lot of things. Most things, really. With the exception of meat and poultry, I'm not too hard to please.

That is, until we get mixed up with a couple certain things. Eggs and mayonnaise.

These are my kryptonite.

Firstly, let me explain that eggs in things doesn't matter — like in cookies or cake. But eggs in all their eggy glory, as in scrambled, poached, boiled, fried, quiched and French toasted, are an absolute no no. It's not because they come from an animal, they're just ... ick.

Then, there's mayo. It's not that it contains eggs. There's just something about it. The smell, the texture, the taste. Woof.

We all have something we absolutely can't stand to eat. What's yours?

  7. I like "real" mayo like Hellman's. HATE Miracle Whip.

    My kryptonite would be ham, lobster, peas, and hot dogs.
