Picky Eater? ~Promise

   Hello all y'all! Welcome back to the double H blog! Tonight, I'm doing a post on one of my favorite subjects...Food. Although I do like cooking and tasting foods, there are a few things that I find...almost inedible...Look, if I'm hungry enough, I'll eat it, but this is a list of 10 foods that I don't like. To aid in this endeavor, I have assigned each food a 'repulsive rating.' 1 is scowl worthy, 10 is utterly repulsive and inedible.

1. Beets. I'm actually not sure why I don't like beets. Maybe they're too sweet...Or it could be that they taste like dirt...Rrating: 6

2. Turnips/parsnips/radishes/horseradishes. I think these all taste the same. something about their peppery bite makes me think of indigestion. Rrating: 6

3. Turkey anything. I will eat plain turkey if it's cooked right and very fresh, but I HATE turkey bacon, sausage or anything made with ground turkey. To me, ground turkey is spongy and bland. Sorry, I know it's better for you than some other things, but I think it's gross. Rrating: 9

4. Sweet potatoes. I have had a love/hate thing with sweet potatoes. Right now, it's hate. I don't like the flavor. I don't know why. Rrating: 5

5. Watermelon candy. Don't get me wrong, I love real watermelon. The problem with artificial watermelon is that it tastes NOTHING like the real thing. It actually makes me a little sick to think about the taste... Rrating: 10

6. Lettuce. Okay, here's the deal. Lettuce leaves are okay, but the middles, like the stalky white things in the middle? For some reason, I can't stand those. I literally have to pick through lettuce to make it edible, and that takes a lot of work. Rrating: 6

7. Peanut butter. Unless it's mixed in something or used as a light flavor, I can't stand peanut butter. I used to be a huge peanut lover, but now, I'm peanut-ed out. Rrating:5

8. Roasted carrots and potatoes. I generally don't like roasts and if you pollute potatoes and carrots with that flavor you make a hideous monstrosity. Gag. Rrating:7

9. Licorice. My mother loves licorice candy. I've honestly tried to like it, but I can't. Rrating: 9

10. Fish. If it's coated, I like it. But if it's plain or smoked, I don't like it. I hate fishy flavored things most of the time. RRating:7

...That kind of turned into a rant, huh? I'm sorry if I said that I don't like one of your favorite foods, but let me make one thing clear. Just because I don't like a food that you like, doesn't mean I hate you, or that I'm ungrateful  for the food God supplies us with. I have friends in Africa who are quite happy to get a meal. I thank God that we live in a country where we can get food, and don't have to worry about where we'll get our next meal. So maybe the next time Mom puts lettuce or fish in front of me, I'll think of how blessed I really am. God bless! ~Promise
