Yeah--I work with a chick who swears she's allergic to onions. I just smile and nod. In my head, I'm thinking "there's no berkeleying way you're allergic to onions". I'm thinking either her doctor is a quack or she just wants to be difficult.

BTW--if you're taking a course on it, it's spelled "allergy"

I have a friend who is legitimately allergic to them. I've never seen him in more distress than when we went to the Varsity and he couldn't have rings.

1st off, shepard's pie is not made with "meat" it's made with lamb or mutton. Cottage pie Is made with meat, usually beef.

If it grows out of the ground, it's a plant. Otherwise, it's meat.

I see a lot of hate for mushrooms...I like them on my pizza, but I can't stand them when they're cooked into something, because they always come out with the texture, elasticity and taste of a dog toy.

The number one. A glass of milk. The very thought of downing a big ol mug of dead white blood cells, animal fat and cholesterol, dioxins, and bacteria make me nauseous.

Oooo... i forgot about that one. So so far, i have sun-dried tomatos, and milk. Milk makes me physically ill. Not because i'm lactose intolerant, but just the aftertaste, the coating it leaves, the way it smells, and the way it looks.

Chocolate milk is yummy. Even strawberry milk is yummy. Soy milk is yummy.

Regular milk? BARF. Skim milk is even worse. LOOK AT IT!!! IT'S GREY!!! GREY LIQUID =/= GOOD.

Just to cement my status as a heretic:

Beer. Yes, I've tried "good" beers, according to those who study such things, and microbrews, and homemade, and the cheap stuff too. I've tried beer when I was hot and sweaty, and I've tried it in a cozy place with friends. I"ve tried it with pizza, steak, and alone. And I was allowed to sample it when young. My father and my three siblings all like it. Mom and I were alone in not enjoying the taste.

I've tried it. Really. I just don't like it.

Give me a REAL rootbeer, or ginger ale instead, and I'm good to go!

A cook who knows his business can prepare meat "well done" without charring, making it tough, or removing flavor. In fact, proper cooking enhances some aspects of the flavor.

Long before there was fire, animals were delicious.

And grubs, worms, and roadkill (pathkill?) were once considered pretty good eats, too. Some of us evolved.

Mmmm... not sure I want to know just how you are able to accurately compare mushroom and dog toy taste.

Bleah. Rootbeer tastes like bubbly mouthwash. And I've had "good" rootbeers, too.
July 2, 2009 11:08 a.m. Tim Baxter Online Editor

We haven't had real root beer in the US since '69. Most of the stuff big name brands are just sorta-rootbeerish flavoring and high fructose corn syrup. Blech.

I dislike the fake Cherry and Cinnamon flavors but love the real thing, as to all other foods I will try anything once, not big on eating bugs but that is in my head not my tastebuds.

I've had artisan-crafted rootbeer made by our local microbrewery. That's what tasted like fuzzy mouthwash. The regular stuff tastes like godknowswhat.

I prefer mine right out of the pleated sandwich bag. Straight. No chaser. No 'tea' or any of that garbage, just sack up, chow down, savor that gritty dirty goodness between the teeth, and enjoy the ride.

I like onion rings and Bloomin' onions, and the taste of properly grilled onions.

Yet, they make me sick.

so...

Chocolate chips are the Autobots and raisins are the Decepticons. There is nothing more heart-wrenching than taking a huge bite of a cookie, only to find that the little black dots are raisins rather than chocolate chips. Devilish little things they are.

Yeah I can't imagine why people would put raisins in things...if raisins in things were all replaced by chocolate chips or blueberries it would be an improvement every time.

Local afghani restaurant makes Kabuli, a lamb dish with the lamb mixed in with Pallow (a brown rice), glazed julienne of carrots, and raisins, as well as some spices and brown sugar. The combination of the spice and sweet, with the lamb that falls apart if you look at it hard...

Oh, man, it's soooooo good.

You do know that Australians, who have not been into a "Outback" Restaurant, have never heard of a "Bloomin Onion"

That's funny--had dinner with an Aussie last week, and that was about the first thing he said, too.

I was reminded of the time we went to dinner at a teppanyaki restaurant with a Japanese tech from Honda, and Tim asked him (facetiously), if that was how his mom cooked at home. He thought we were serious.

1. Beer
2. Fish. (Catfish can be done, but must be deep fried first. Then only sparingly. Like once a decade.)
3. Slaw.
4. Okra.
5. Collard Greens.
I'm sure there's more, but I can't recall anything more right now.

I can think of at least two brands of root beer that are very good: '1919' from the Schell's Brewery in New Ulm, MN www.schellsbrewery.com

Point from the Stevens Point Brewery in Stevens Point, WI http://www.pointbeer.com
