Day 13: Family Food Trivia

For today's post, I am offering a one-time glimpse into the dazzling world of our family's food habits. I don't think I need to tell you that opportunities like this don't come along very often, and should be savored like fine wine and smelly cheese. At moments like these, I am simply overcome by what I am willing lay bare for your prurient curiosity. Look away while I collect myself, please.

G/N Food Trivia

Vegetable David and Sam won't eat: zucchini

Food David hated as a kid that he loves as an adult: pizza

Stuff David loves that Sam loathes: Vegemite, "fish patties," veggie burgers, anything black currant

How David and I knew we were meant for each other: we both loved pineapple pizza but didn't like fresh pineapple (though we both do now.)

Thank you for the interesting glimpse into 'things I did not know about you'. Except for the chunky cheese part and the black currant part :).

Ick -- black licorice! Isn't it funny how something can be one person's delicious treat and another person's "get-that-out-of-my-mouth" ickiness? :) Lix

@Lix: Yes dear, methinks that is very funny. :)

Love this post!

Joy and Jarrah have so much in common! Of course, it could be their age!

My least favorite foods:

Eggs-any type
Brussel Sprouts.

Even though I am a veggie, I do not include meat, as it would still taste better than those two choices.

oxox,

Mary

p.s. I like pineapple pizza, too.
