LOVE HATE

I hate Watermelon!

I hate Cantaloupe!!

Want to hear something really funny?? I live in the watermelon and cantaloupe capital of the world!!

I kid you not.

Watermelons and cantaloupe stink and are mushy and slimy and the taste, while a lot of people just love it, leaves me gagging. My brother will sit down and eat a whole cantaloupe for supper.

Watermelon is such a king of this county we have a "Watermelon Drop" at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve. I guess that they have a big lit up watermelon, and they drop real watermelon's out of it, one for each year. Hokey, no?? I didn't go, but Sonny Boy was there.

Do you think if I make a public pronouncement of my hatred of the nasty fruit that they'll kick me out of the county??

I don't like tomatoes either. I do, however, like ketchup, salsa, and tomato soup. Just can't stand a slimy sliced tomato. **gag** I don't like them fried either!!

There is no love lost between me and the eggplant or squash either. But I do like a good slightly spicy yellow squash soup.

Not real fond of zucchini. I will eat maybe one piece of zuch. bread a year. Husband likes fried zucchini and every now and then I will humor him.

I don't care for cucumbers either. They really stink and are mushy too!!

I do like fresh strawberries, peaches, fresh picked cooked with a big 'ole ham hock green beans, and grapes (seedless) ((white)).

Love mushrooms!!

I'll eat a carrot if it has been cooked all day in beef broth with a roast. Otherwise for-get it.

I haven't touched celery in years. Never could stand the stringiness of it.

Raisins remind me of dead squished spiders, so they're off the list.

Pecans are just OK. I'll eat them baked in a pie, but wouldn't eat them just as a snack.

Lived on roasted peanuts when I was pregnant. I really like peanut butter. PB is even better with my homemade from scratch grape jelly!!

I like a good juicy navel orange and occasionally will drink a glass of OJ. I couldn't get enough Sunny D when I was pregnant. I chugged GALLONS of that stuff!!

Have always loved shrimp. Will eat it any way prepared.

Wouldn't touch an oyster in any shape or form if you paid me.

Pickles on a burger? Slap your grandma!!

I will occasionally eat a dill pickle, but would not ever eat the dill pickle potato chips.

I realize this list is getting rather long. And, I realize that I've listed an awful lot of food that I don't care for. I guess I'm picky. I've never considered myself to be a picky eater before though.

So, what's your list of the food's you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole? What foods do you have a love affair with??
