Mayo
Spicy mustard
Turkey or Ham
salami
sliced sharp chedder
sliced feta (not crumbled)
slices of tomato
alfalfa sprouts
slices of red onion
Amish country pickles

And I have to have hot peppers on teh side. Any kind of hot peppers...suprise me!

Fried bologna with fried green peppers and onions, mayo, and mustard on white bread.

it's horrible for you. and tastes like heaven.

But today was just turkey bologna on white, non-fried, with ketchup. It sustains for minimal calories, anyways.

Oh, sad...your problem was that bologna needs mustard. The plain old yellow kind. Ketchup doesn't even belong on hot dogs. It only belongs on fries or meatloaf.

i only agree with you if the sandwich has actual fixings on it like lettuce and onions. then, mayo and mustard all the way. but when it's just bread and bologna? only ketchup. i don't know why, that's just the way it is, and it's been that way since i was a kid and it also had to be applied in a smiley face.

Shawnee123 · 07-02-2010, 01:45 PM

Bread and bologna with yellow mustard OR colby cheese OR processed crap cheese.

I like lettuce but not on anything. I hate most condiments. No one ever likes to order pizza with me. I'm the least adventurous eater ever. Plain and simple...way too much going on for a lot of these "sandwiches" if'n you ask me. Might as well just roll around in the produce aisle.

My favorite pizza - let's see how many gags and chokes I can get out of this: pepperoni and anchovy. but i like most pizzas, though i tend not to care for fancy ones that have chicken or barbecue other weird "premium" ingredients. plain pepperoni is great by me, too.

i will eat anything once, and most things twice just to be sure. I get a lot of funny/incredulous looks when I say "OH MY GOD THIS IS HORRIBLE" and follow it up by "YOU'VE GOT TO TRY THIS!" I just don't get not trying most things. I do have limits, but man, it's gotta be the stuff of nightmares or just blatantly not food for me to say no outright.

Otherwise I just had tuna salad. mayo, sweet relish, celery, and red onion. white bread. yum.

Shawnee123 · 07-02-2010, 07:14 PM

I like pepperoni and green olives. That is a bit of a weird combo, but I think it's the saltiness that I like. I do not like black olives. This isn't a racist thing.

My mom made me try brussels sprouts when I was a kid and I hated the taste so much I barfed! I really tried, but ewwwwww.

I always wonder if I didn't get just little bit spoiled in my food choices, or if taste preferences are not always learned behavior. There are some things I like that others can't stand, but my family never had to worry about me eating all the shrimp or all the lobster. However, I know if one is hungry enough one can eat anything.

So, taste for food: nature or nurture?

sad_winslow · 07-02-2010, 08:27 PM

Pepperoni and green olives is a totally understandable mix: if you like that, you may even have a chance at liking pepperoni and anchovy, which is also a terrifically salty pie. You do have to like anchovy, though. Which, if you haven't tried in some form, I have some simple recipes with them that are so, so good.

Taste is a combination of nature and nurture, like most things

There are universally appealing flavors - people like sugary and fatty and salty things - but beyond that? Totally exposure, I'm certain. I know folks that eat stuff on a regular basis that makes my skin crawl. Can't begrudge them it, though, it's what they know and like. Cultural exposure.

It can be both simultaneously: studies have shown that what your mother eats while pregnant with you will affect your food tastes later in life.

What then of siblings with completely different tastes?
My brother was a "problem eater". Even now he barely touches fruit or vegetables unless heavily disguised. Not a problem for my sister and I. And yet my bro is far more adventurous in life and in food than my sister (I think that's down to nature - she's a deeply conservative person).

Did you know that a zinc deficiency can lead to alterations in the sensation of taste? Some people who have supplemented with zinc have found that vegetables taste completely different afterwards, usually for the better.
