Not everyone has the same tastes in food.

I like liver & onions.

I like raw oysters.

I don't like mushrooms.

I abhor peas.

For those of you who might say these dislikes are all in my head...

I once ate a whole order of deep fried mushrooms to prove I just don't like the taste. They don't make me sick.

I can remember being 4 years old and eating only the carrots out of the peas and carrots off my plate (to the amusement of my dad).

At age 25, a night before I got paid, all I had left to eat at home was 1 large can of peas. I don't know how they got there on my shelf - I certainly didn't buy them.

I literally had no money until payday and enough gas to get me to work and then the bank.

So I heated up the peas in a pan, liberally covered them with butter, added salt and ate them as fast as I could.

I haven't eaten peas since.

I will try just about any kind of food once.

I might never eat that selection ever again.

I'm not too proud to eat anything and would, like the peas, eat them if I were desperate enough.

I just know what I prefer not to eat.
