From foie gras and Château Pétrus to beans on toast and Happy Shopper cola.

Re: Foods you can't eat
Anything aniseed, olives, gherkins (but I love cucumbers, and pickled onions), any shellfish, and liver. Oh, and tomato sauce on bacon- it's find on anything else, but even the thought of it on bacon, eeeeurgh!
Don't like mushrooms or cottage cheese or brussels sprouts, but I can force em down. -

Guineafowl and duck? That's not fussy, that's classy
Great username, by the way!
Your username is pretty awesome as well.
Going back to the original question - I can't stand mushrooms either, I think it's the texture of them to be honest

Re: Foods you can't eat
Too much cheese (as in I quite enjoy a tiny square but any more makes me feel bleeeeuughh)
Too much tomato
Eel or oysters
Greasy food like cheap take-aways.
A whole banana (half is fine)
Eggs and beans together (but separately - yumm)

Re: Foods you can't eatI'm replying a bit late, but anyway ^^ ArtGoblin mentionned not eating honey just because it's an animal product, but as a vegan I don't eat it also because it can be harmful to bees (not always of course, but in many places it is). This is a really good website for information on the subject: http://www.vegansociety.com/resource...and-honey.aspx(Original post by FrogInABog)
OK, I understand people not liking meat for ethical reasons, and maybe eggs (particularly from battery hens). And as much as my dairy farming family would hate me for saying this, I can sort of see milk products (but only just!).
But honey?!
Out of interest, and because I've never come across anyone who objects to it before, what do you find wrong with honey?
I couldn't live without it
As you can see: "The queen bee is usually killed every year and a new queen introduced to the colony.5 The queen may have her wings clipped to prevent her from flying; this is to stop the bees carrying out their natural instinct to swarm (the old queen and a large proportion of the bees leaving the nest once the colony has provided a new queen to replace her).6
Far from being ‘just’ simple insects, bees have a complex communication system, display co-operative behaviour and take part in activities such as collective decision-making, organisation and conflict resolution.7
Farmed bees are vulnerable to insect attacks and diseases such as American Foulbrood and European Foulbrood, Varroa mites and associated viruses, which have increased significantly in the UK over the last 5-10 years, along with a decline in bee numbers.8 One method of dealing with American Foulbrood is to burn the hives while all the bees are inside."
Hope this helps
You'll also find tons of info on the website about dairy, eggs, etc (even so-called free-range chicken can be badly mistreated) and if you want even more info, http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...72964130308142
