Seriously … why is there a MUSHROOM in my fruit smoothie? There are certain things I can just overlook, but when I am about to enjoy a vitamin enriched fruit drink, I sure don’t expect to see a mushroom in the list of ingredients. Surprisingly enough, in addition to all the fruit goodness in Bolthouse’s C-Boost they’ve generously included a little “Maitake mushroom”. For … I have no idea why. Sure they claim it’s one of a few “herbal ingredients that have been used for centuries to promote a healthy Immune System”. Of course I still drank it and it didn’t really taste like mushroom at all, but the whole time I kept thinking about the tiny microscopic mushroom bits slowly taking over my body. This was a few days ago and I’m just now to the point where I can talk about it. I’m not necessarily a picky eater and I’ll usually try about anything … but there are a few things that I just simply cannot accept. And I think now is as good a time as any to list them for your handy reference:
The Foods that I do not “hang” With:
Mushrooms
Olives (black or green, I don’t discriminate)
Raw tomatoes
Sushi
Pears
Canteloupe
That’s it … there are other things that I’m not wild about, but I would go well out of my way to avoid the above. I don’t think it’s asking a lot for these things to be kept far far away from me and not put into things like, say, fruit smoothies. So … what’s on your food-foe list?

what's on, in and around my mind
Dude, you are my food-hatred soulmate. (Also, my comrade in pepperoni love, which is not a euphemism.)
I hate sushi. Oh my god, I hate sushi. And we’ve been over the canteloupe:rotting garbage issue before. I would also add bananas and raisins to the list, because I do not like them. In fact, I totally hate them.
You know what I also hate? Grapes in chicken salad.
This list could go ON. But I will start with:
1) Meat. (Other than sometimes VERY dry chicken, but don’t tell.)
2) “Meaty” vegetables – aubergines, tomatoes and mushrooms come to mind.
3) Any cold food mixed in with any hot food. Like warm chicken (not that I eat that – shh) on top of a cold salad. WHY?
4) “Stuffed” whatever. What the fuck is the “stuff!” It could be anything!
5) Mayonnaise. First of all, it’s a “condiment” which is the most disgusting-sounding name for a food item ever, like a cross between a tiny living quarter for Jewish grandmothers and a flavored form of contraception. Also it’s made ONLY from two things: grease, and the byproduct of a chicken’s vagina. Ugh ugh ugh!
