I have very few food issues. I will eat just about anything, including 2 week-old things from the back of the fridge. Not including my newfound vegginess and in no particular order, here are the things I will not eat:
1. Soy sauce on greens. This is wrong on so many levels. The use of soy sauce or tamari on greens when perfectly good vinegar is available stuns me. Putting sesame seeds on top compounds the horror. Also, weird greens. Chard I'm ok with, but kale is just too damn fluffy.
2. Chitlins, pig snouts, pig feet, pig tails, and any number of southern delicacies that fall outside the Martha Stewart sanctioned areas of the hawg.
3. Olives. Their bitter taste makes me want to turn my face inside out and scrape off any chunks of olive that may have found their way there by osmosis. And Spit and Spit and Spit.
Like I said, it's a short list. Being able to make tofu taste like fried chicken is my culinary wet dream. I'm gonna practice, and then one day, out of the blue, I will call all of you in turn to come eat fried tofu and drink pink wine with me a Thursday night. This will be shortly after my cooking show "When Drunk Girls Get Hungry" airs on Youtube.
Just so you know.
