They eat mayo on fries in Belgium...its not bad.

Can't say "YUK!!" without trying it first...

I used to get a giggle out my friends by popping (chewing on) coffee creamers in my mouth -- or better, squeezing a tube of mayo (or mustard) in my mouth

I have a sort of love-hate relationship with eggs.

I will eat them when they are cooked into or added to certain dishes. In fact, often times I actually like them. I use them in pasta carbonara, an amazingly incredible Italian cold tuna sauce (I may post that recipe), pasta dough, some types of salads (using sliced hard-boiled eggs), fried rice, and general baking (if and when required).

However, I can't stand eggs that are scrambled (that includes omelettes, but strangely enough, not fried rice), poached, soft boiled, over easy (or pan-fried in general), raw (as a hangover remedy) or thrown at me in any way.

Don't care for egg salad or scrambled egg whites, either.

I too can't eat mayonnaise or ricotta cheese. I also no longer like mushrooms.

I can eat liver fried in bacon. As a kid, my grandmother, who is now 93 and has been smoking like a fiend since she was in her early 20s, used to make liver dumplings saturated in butter and sprinkled with salt. I couldn't stop eating that.

Don't tell her now but all that stuff will shorten her life.

93!! God bless her!

Liver dumplings?? I LOVE liver, and I don't know if I could eat that. Were they really good?

I can't stand pickles.

I LOVE sour garlic pickles (slightly soft). They go perfect with a pastrami on rye.

I like half-sour pickles, but they have to be crunchy.

My son likes to eat those huge kosher dills then he likes to breath in my face. My son is weird he likes to drink the pickle juice.

I don't eat pickles that often. When I do, I like sweet and dill. I don't like pickles (or relish)on my burger, but don't mind them on the side.

I used to like to do that, too.

Then I discovered scotch!

Hamburger toppings! Now THAT'S a topic for discussion!

Gimme a thin slice of Bermuda onion OR an onion ring and I'll be happy.

Yea onion rings on a burger. Delish

I hate going to a diner and ordering a hamburger only to find them bring me a plate with lettuce and tomatoes on it (for the hamburger). If I wanted a damned salad I'd order one!!

The tomato and lettuce immediately go onto the table (or the floor if I'm in a disagreeable mood).

Definintely a large onion on the burger! My ideal burger is simply cheese (swiss or provolone but I like most any cheese), a little bit of catsup, not too soggy though, and mushrooms would top it off for me. On the side a salad with bleu cheese dressing and a cup of coffee.

You can take the girl out of California, but you can't take California out of the girl.

I'm laughing. I've been in a silly mood all day. Only, why am I laughing? They don't have mushrooms on burgers on the East Coast or what???

TIS

Sure they do. Its listed on our menus as a California Burger.

Another thing I don't like is mushrooms.

SC, You make me laugh

You saw me naked???

Ha ha!! Really? Maybe they are here too. I never noticed. I guess you're right, you can't take the California out of the girl!!!

I'm kiddin' ya, TIS.

Why is it we eat a part of an animal on a bun and then try to rationalize we hafta make it "healthy" by adding all sorts of things from the garden (tomato, lettuce, onion, mushroom. etc.)?

Don't listen to them TIS. This east coaster likes a good Mushroom/Swiss burger every once in a while.





Hello? Is this Spumoni Gardens? Yes....Can I get a delivery please?...Ok.....I'd like a large Sicilian pie and a bottle of diet pepsi.

Mushrooms and olives are another thing to put on my "Can't stand" list. My daughter's grandmother would make the best lasagna, but she put mushrooms in it. Even if you try to pick them out, you still have that mushroom taste.

I'm sitting here at work like a good little girl eating my chicken and rice soup. All this talk of hamburgers has me craving for something I can sink my teeth into, not just slurp.

There is only one kind of mushroom I can stand. I don't know the name of them. I don't like olives either. Pickles have to be crunchy.

Was that you?

I was reminded yesterday of another food I can't stand...cranberry sauce. What exactly type of food is that anyway? Looks like something Barney the dinosaur would spit out.

I've never liked cranberry sauce either. Every Thanksgiving, cans of the stuff would go flying off the shelves, and usually straight onto the dinner tables of all my relatives.

Whether the "regular" type, or the jellied version, I just couldn't stand the taste of it.

Then, around 2004, Signora V. said we should try to make it from scratch. So, I bought fresh cranberries, she found a recipe she liked, and we started cooking.

Well, I thought it was even worse than the stuff from a can. I think it made me look something like Sylvester the cat after Elmer Fudd put alum in his milk. Way too tart (among other things) for me. She said that this was the way it should taste, and she was quite happy. So, I guess it wasn't a total loss.

For the record, I also strongly dislike the taste of cranberry juice. I do know, however, that the juice has medicinal benefits.
