Ceinwenn Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I've tried oysters - wasn't impressed. Just cold and slimey. I hope they were dead! They weren't! Quote
Chimera Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Eeeeewww! That is so gross! Pass me the bucket!! Yeah, that was my reaction as well. Sorry Charm They weren't! Apparently not, or you'd actually have been sick Chrissy... And let's not even delve into the 'lemon' test you're supposed to do before eating. *grabs the bucket from Charm* Quote

Sounds like a lovely remedy *laughs* Quote
Charm Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Ah well, glad to have given you an occasion to indulge your sweet tooth! Sounds like a lovely remedy *laughs* It was delish! Much nicer than what my imagination was imagining! Quote
Lucybird Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I've never tried bananas, just the smell puts me off Quote
DanC_84 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I don't like oysters either. I think it is the texture more than anything else that puts me off them. Quote
bethany725 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 You have far too much time on your hands, Bethany .... Awwww.. Roland! I'm in the minority again.. looove oysters! I grew up in a part of the States where oysters were widely available since we were near the Gulf. I just grew up liking them. Quote
Chrissy Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I've never tried bananas, just the smell puts me off I have never thought of bananas having a smell as such, until they are ripe and mushy. I love bananas. Quote
Chrissi Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Yummie Bananas! I haven't tried seafood and loads of other stuff as I have been veggie since I've been 10. Most of the stuff makes me sick just looking at it anyway Other than that I actually don't know... Quote
Rawr Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I actually have never tried many foods such as chinese or indian! Takeaway was always the chippy when i lived at home xD I shall have to fix that. Quote
bethany725 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Wow I can't believe you haven't tried Chinese or Indian! I thought Englanders were notorious for ordering curry takeaways! Quote
DanC_84 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I actually have never tried many foods such as chinese or indian! Takeaway was always the chippy when i lived at home xD I shall have to fix that. That is like my girlfriend's father. He is originally from England and the list of foods he has never eaten is staggering. In addition to never having had the likes of Indian or Chinese, the man has never eaten pizza or pasta! When I was introduced and he first told me, I literally, 100% thought he was kidding. Quote
bethany725 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Wow.. how can you possibly avoid pasta your whole life? They sell that junk on EVERY menu, EVERYWHERE! Quote
DanC_84 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Wow.. how can you possibly avoid pasta your whole life? They sell that junk on EVERY menu, EVERYWHERE! He is ridiculous. I am serious, it is beyond this world. He will literally only eat lamb/beef/chicken and potatoes or prawns for dinner. If not that, a plain ham sandwich. An absolute fruitcake no doubt. Quote
bethany725 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 :lol: Wow.. I've never heard of anything quite like it before.. Meat and potatoes is about it for him, huh? Quote
DanC_84 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 :lol:Wow.. I've never heard of anything quite like it before.. Meat and potatoes is about it for him, huh? I have been told - although I am not convinced - that this is not completely abnormal in England. Apparently a lot of males, especially older ones (Pete is 60), like to stick to just meat and three veg. Sounds absolutely god-awful to me. Quote
bethany725 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I couldn't do it, either.. For starters, I can't imagine never having pasta -- It's my favorite! Hmm.. I wonder how this affects people's health, also.. I wonder if he's getting enough of the vitamins he needs? He may well be, if he's picking the vegetables appropriately.. interesting to think about though Quote
DanC_84 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Here is a picture of him at Emily's graduation. Whilst he looks scary, he isn't. Having said that, he does kind of look like a man with incredibly bland/boring food preferences, don't you think? Quote
bethany725 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Why, yes he DOES look like a man with plain food prefs... "No sweets. NO PASTA! Meat, only! With potatoes. *growl* " Quote
DanC_84 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 It is even more amusing when he goes to McDonald's. He orders "Three junior burgers, meat and onion only - no relish". It cracks me up every time I hear that. Quote
bethany725 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I think you can only be like that when you're a) under the age of 5, or over the age of 55. Every age in between could risk strange looks at that kind of order! BTW.. he looks like a very "fathering" father if you know what I mean. Cold-ish stare.. hand on daughter's shoulder.. Did he threaten to shoot you if you hurt her? He'd fare well in the southern US , where I'm from! Quote

I was only just 17 and had never met a girl's father before and he had a thick British accent and seemed a little sceptical toward me. He is actually extremely friendly and we get along really well now. Quote
bethany725 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Phew.. that is great! May he keep you laughing with the McDonald's orders... Quote
DanC_84 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Phew.. that is great! May he keep you laughing with the McDonald's orders... The funniest thing is seeing how many times the Maccas employees get the order wrong. First it comes with no onion but sauce, then no sauce or onion. One time I think they even didn't put meat on it. Seriously though, it can get very annoying. Try picking a restaurant when one of the party will not eat 99.8% of foods. Quote
