C'est LA viE

My colleagues and I were having this topic of what type of food they dont really eat during lunch yesterday, and I discovered my new colleague (the new fresh grad boy) disliked banana and papaya because of their mushy texture.

Then, another colleague dislike cucumber, capsicum, green pea, papaya etc (apparently she still have more food which she never eat)

The most weird hate relationship with food is my new boss, she doesnt eat durian, papaya, banana, cherries, grapes and strawberry!! (and I think there are more ==).

I found this amusing, because I to me all the food they dislike are so good, and I never expect ppl hate them 

This inspired me to write this post, to discover what type of food I really love and hate, and I also found out I actually eat almost everything!

I actually wanna categorized into 2 groups: 1. Food I don't eat (even you point a gun on my head) 2. Food I dislike (well, I still eat them if no choice)

Group 1:

i) Coffee: yes, I am not a coffee drinker which is very unusual for a foodie, but who conclude foodie have to be coffee lover? Reason not drinking coffee, simply because I am allergic to coffee. 

ii) Potato (chunky): ok I still eat fries, chips and mashed potato, I just dont eat the chunky potato which is usually cooked with curry, or the whole baked potato. Reason: too much carbs~

iii) Rabbit, kangaroo meat or other exotic meat: I am not eating rabbit because I am a rabbit (chinese zodiac), and kangaroo are so cute (so cruel to eat them, see my post playing with Kangaroo here), then for other exotic meat such as snake meat, insects....they are just too much for me to consider as food. 

Group 2:

i) Soft drink: high sugar, and I want to diet =)

ii) Fast food: I've enough for work!

iii) Soy milk: dont ask me why, I just simply dont like it

iv) Vegetarian meal: Ok, I have to explain here, what I mean for vegetarian meal are those food made by soy or bean curd to pretend as "meat" which is very nasty to me. This category have very high potential to level up into group 1.

So above are what I think of for food that I dislike, let's see the 10 most polarizing foods I found on website:

1. Cilantro: well I dont mind this food to be used as an ingredient, but yes I dont eat it either

2. Celery: I actually like celery!

3. Licorice: No, I also said no to it.

4. Green pepper: I love pepper no matter what color!

5. Marzipan: hmmm, I wouldnt think of eating it

6. Mayonnaise: I am fine with it.

7. Blue cheese: I dont like its smell, and would be reluctant to consume it, but I tried eating baked blue cheese as topping on pizza, it was goood!

8. Vegemite/marmite: never eat them! I dont understand why they are so popular in Aussie/NZ

9. Coconut: of cause love coconut! I dont think any south east asian would hate it

10. Liver: I would skip it =)

Since I have categorized food I dislike, I wanna highlight the food that I would eat no matter how many times I being served with:

1. Egg: yes I wouldnt say no to egg, the love relationship among me and egg is irreplacable! (I think except raw egg, and those exotic eggs such as the disgusting pelut, I eat almost every type of egg).

2. Durian: omg, I cannot stop when it comes to durian, that's why I couldnt believe there are ppl (I mean Malaysian) dislike this king of the fruit world (my weird new boss and my brother). However, I only love the "real" durian, as in I dont like durian puff, dodol, or other dessert using durian.

3. Cherries: same as durian, I never say no to cherries. I remember I was having stomach ache at a time and I was so pissed because my parents was tempting to finish all the cherries. This is how much I into cherries. Ohh, I really miss the day having endless cherries during summer in NZ.

4. Sushi: even I have them yesterday, I still eat them today. It is one of the food I really love too.

5. Green tea dessert: yes another dessert which I totally in love with, but I discovered that there are ppl dislike them (and coincidentally they are a group of fren of mine).

6. Macaron: regardless how ppl find them sweet, I still love macaron =)

To conclude, I do think I actually almost eat everything!
