when i listed my loves and hates

Um. Oh yeah, I remember what I was gonna talk about today. Here is a list of food I despise.
Ice Cream
Pizza
Chocolate (unless it’s on a donut or Reese’s stick)
Italian food (minus my gramma’s spaghetti)
Steak

Here’s food I do like.

Shaved Ice
Eel sushi
Turkey sandwich w/mayo
Roast beef sammich at Huey’s
Most fish.
There. And I’m gonna leave this up, just in case.

(2025 EDIT: I’m going back through old blog posts fixing broken blog headers and I felt like I needed to update my list, 26 years later.

Food I despise don’t care for in 2025:
-Anything lemon flavored outside of lemonade, especially not lemon pasta or lemon desserts
-I generally don’t care for ice cream, but like to go get it as a social thing
-still don’t really care for chocolate unless it’s a donut or reese’s
-Burger King
-cold deli/subway style sandwiches
-pizza with too much sauce on it

I have come around on steak once I realized I didn’t have to get it well done and now a well-cooked steak is an all time fav. I’ve warmed up on italian food after actually traveling outside of the south and having GOOD italian food. I came around on pizza too after figuring out I like thin crust and low sauce.

Food I love:
still Turkey sandwich w/mayo
still Roast beef sammich at Huey’s
specifically Molly’s yellow cheese dip and I don’t know how this didn’t make the 1999 list
Roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy
mcdonald’s fries
basically any potato
a nice steak
short rib
any broccoli or green bean dish that is smothered in cheese
cheese in general
fondue

I’ll stop there because I could keep going. I was very much still a “picky” eater in 1999. I’ve expanded my horizons and am pretty open to trying anything now. I like mushrooms now! And sour cream!
Funnily enough the “most fish” in the original list is odd to me. I did like salmon back then. Still like salmon now and generally will try fish anywhere, but it’s never been my top choice at a restaurant.)
