I like lemonade and lemon meringue pie. I won't eat lemon cake or cookies.

I like pickles, but won't eat raw cukes.

I will eat beef like a roast or shredded and I will eat a steak. But I won't eat beef in cubes like in beef stew or steak on a stick.

I love small tomatoes in salad or to eat straight out of a bowl and I love tomato based products, but I hate tomato on sandwiches or burgers. I think it's because they're so often tasteless or mushy and usually just seem to get pulled out and make a mess.

I like raw celery, but not cooked celery.

My daughter loves cheese, but not cheeseburgers.

Won't eat raw tomatoes, salsa or catsup, but love cooked tomato sauce. Won't eat sauerkraut, but love raw cabbage with Italian dressing. Won't eat raw onions, but love carmelized ones. Won't eat cooked beets but love them raw from the garden. Dislike most cheeses and get pizza with no or very little cheese--and I'm Italian!!! Go figure.

I really like onions that have been cooked almost any way you can cook them. But if I get a bite of raw onion in my mouth It's all I can do not to barf.

(My Grandmother, who did most of our cooking, hated onions, and kept telling me as a child that I would get sick if I ate them. That way she had an excuse not to put onions in anything she cooked. Bad Grandmother!!)

love cheese melted in or on anything, but can't take a hunk and put it on a cracker or anything. It always looks so yummy to me, but Nope,,,,can't do it.

This is very timely for me, as some of mine are some fruits.

For example - strawberries and pineapple. I absolutely LOVE both of these but do not like (at all!) strawberry or pineapple ice cream, milkshake, pie or cake anything.

Also, I really like onions and bell peppers and stuff like that. But I could not stand them on a pizza because it makes a pizza smell like body odor.

I love raw onions, but hate them cooked. Tuna sandwiches are a fave, but really dislike Tuna in anything else, especially casserole. I only like ketchup for French fries but nothing else. I love chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows, but don't like s'mores...weird, I know. I like soda from a fountain, but not from a can. I could eat raw apples all day long, but really dislike them cooked in any way. I'm sure there are more, but that's all for now.

Love sauteed fresh spinach (with olive oil/garlic/sea salt), but won't even think about touching raw spinach. No way!

I like raw cabbage and cauliflower but I can not stand them cooked. I like a tomato any way except sauteed.

My brother will eat potato salad and macaroni salad, but don't get an open jar of mayonnaise within 25 feet of him or you could lose an eye.

I'll eat celery if it's in something, like soup, roasted meat, etc. Otherwise, I think it's a stupid food & there's no reason for it to be on this planet. Forgive me for saying that, Mother Nature.

I will only eat eggs if they are fully cooked. No runny yokes for me -- yuck!!!

That's interesting. I am another one who MAJORLY dislikes mayonnaise. Even the word, the thought of it, the sight of it, and especially the smell of it, makes me queasy. It's just so gross.

But, I'll tell you one thing that I seldom tell anybody - I will make a tuna sandwich for myself with it and it doesn't gross me out. But, of course, there ARE rules. I won't eat it made by anybody else. I will only buy that really tiny jar of Best Foods brand (I guess it's Hellman's in the east). I will toss the rest after I've used it because I don't even want to see it anymore.

And, I'm super picky that I put exactly the right amount in the tuna (along with green onions, celery seed, and s&p).

It's so weird because I find mayo so massively repugnant. But I'll do that one thing. I've always been rather closeted about it, probably because it's gross to think about it. ha!
