Alright gentlemen, keep on with the rearranging posts to make people look like they've said something they haven't, it's tremendously and funny.

I agree!

Can I just comment on how hungry this post made me! I could probably go a cooked breakfast with a side of steak right now! nom nom nom! Or just swap the mushrooms! (food of the devil) I have no idea what it would be like to be a vegetarian, If someone can think of a better purpose for a cow, chicken or a pig, other than to eat them, il gladly tell them that they're wrong!

Maybe to live long, happy lives unencumbered by human greed? Just a thought.

I agree with you about mushrooms, tho.

[stewaj3]

Haha! Good reply! Maybe we can just compromise and agree that mushrooms should be banned throughout the world and should only be fed to prisoners and Celine Dion fans? Nothing worse than getting some kind of food and finding it's littered with mushrooms!

I can assure you that mushrooms are not my food *bleurgh*

[bmstinton93]

I can't stand mushrooms.

It's so nice to see there are fellow mushroom-haters. Thankfully my flatmate hates them too, so I rarely have to be around them. My ex was always frying them up with garlic butter - urgh.

A few years ago, eating a meal for the first time with a bloke who I hoped to charm into bed, I decided to eat some of the mushrooms in my all-day breakfast, so as not to appear weird and picky. They were disgusting. He's now going out with one of my friends. There's a moral in that story somewhere.

[DevilsDuck]

It's better to be picky and not choosey...

Agreed.

And mushrooms are ace, I purposefully choose the extra mushrooms Dolmia sauce for spag bols, I also enjoy the soup. I was once told by a doctor to have more mushrooms and yoghurts, a mushroom yoghurt seemed logical but wrong - I'll give you that.

I tried to eat a mushroom once but I just couldn't bring myself to do it! I did once have gravy on something which apparently contained mushroom extracts.... couldn't see them so it was fine, but still a wee bit off putting! The way I see it, mushrooms are a fungus, when bread goes off its covered in fungus.... So by that logic... if I don't eat mouldy bread, i'm not eating mushrooms!

disclaimer: the above may be seen by some as being incorrect and not entirely logical, I can confirm they are actually wrong and mushrooms are actually evil!

Totally agree, the texture of mushrooms is just wrong. Flavour is ok, but just can't eat them.

Mushrooms are lovely. They are the kind of food that you hate when you are a child but if you try them again as an adult you often have a different result. Not always of course, some people really genuinely (obviously...) have tried them often and don't like them.

The people that annoy me are the people that have something - probably badly cooked - when they are 6, don't like it, and then go through the rest of their lives saying they don't like it withoug ever trying it again. I know a lot of grown ups with the palate of an 8 year old and they are daft. Like people whose only experience of liver is what they were given at school - that was disgusting, so they say they hate liver, even though they have never actually had decent liver, properly prepared and cooked. Ok, they still might not like it - but the point is they never even give themselves the chance.

Pass the ketchup, luv.....

[MK Chris]

I like mushrooms.. not keen on the texture, but they taste nice. Also, I tried liver relatively recently and I still didn't like it - though I do like chicken liver.

[DevilsDuck]

I dont like mushrooms in a fry up....they take up to mush room on the plate *ba dum tshh*

The thing about something like lasagne though, is that there's lasagne and lasagne! I mean, if you got lasagne as a ready meal from a supermarket, its going to be totally different to lasagne made by your mum, which is going to be totally different to lasagne made by me which is going to be totally different to lasagne made by my mother in law (which I believe to be the best in the world). I like lasagne, but I have had revolting lasagne. I'm not going to decide as a result of that though that I don't like lasagne - yet for some people if they try lasagne (for instance) once, don't like it, they assume for the rest of their lives that they don't like it and never even give it another chance. Which is childish.

[Boboff]

No it's not, stinky bum.

[Yudster]

I love you Boboff.

I used to love eating Tomato. I remember eating one when I was 5 or 6 and it was bruised or rotten or something, I would not eat and still do not eat fresh tomato. Now I know it's in my head and I just ate a bad one, but I now DO NOT LIKE the taste of fresh Tomato.

I absolutley love then sundired with garlic and herbs etc, and now I am a grown up will eat things with it in without picking it out and feeling sick, apart from one dish, * Caserole, I HATE IT, all those tomato pips and skins, and bits of clot floting around in your dinner, it's like slow cooked TNC boil 'n the Bag.

I will eat pretty much anything else but don't like many single dish meals like Pasta Bake, Stew, Rice and stuff, Carbonnarra. I like to have individual parts to food. I will eat it, but I don't enjoy it. However I did do Chicken Spiced Rice with Chcik Peas last night and we have got chicken carbonarra tonight, but I had a chicken carcas to made stock for the rice and I have a pot of greek yogurt I want to use up, so it's all relative, as is my Uncle.
