Learning to eat everything

[samjjones]

Great thread. I also don't eat like 90-95% of the stuff mentioned in this thread.

I do not like any kind of fish/shellfish. My mom used to make fried flounder when I was a kid, and the smell of it turned me off of all fish forever. I had one bit of shrimp once and did not like it, and have not tried shellfish since. Yes, I have never eaten lobster in my life. The only seafood I'll eat is the clams that are in Manhattan clam chowder.

Things I will still not eat/try:

Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, horseradish, brussel sprouts, asparagus, cauliflower, beets, pickles, sauerkraut, kielbasa, bratwurst, lamb, venison, salsa.

Things that I've only recently started eating/enjoying (I'm 32):

bleu cheese, ranch dressing, onions, raw tomato (with salt and pepper), celery, barbecue sauce, chili, green/red pepper, zucchini, sweet potatoes, antipasto, and red meat cooked less than medium.
