Don’t like their caviar? 😁

I've never watched James Bond films, Star Wars, the Simpsons, drank Coca Cola/Pepsi or chewed gum. Or eaten Haribo actually

Never ever drank coke or Pepsi? How old are you just so I can put into context how mad that is

Well the food/drink things can be explained that I was very fussy as a child, even in to my late teens really. I'm 31, I eat virtually anything now but drink-wise nothing has really changed, also don't drink tea/coffee or any hot drinks. Have tried those but just think they're rank. Given how shit they are for you I just have no desire to try it and risk getting in to it, I eat enough shit to balance it out so basically live off water, but do drink sugary orange drinks and squash/juice, just not frequently

 

I still don't think I'd like it anyway tbh

I love green tea. Also reports say it is a healthy choice

I really don’t like people.

I prefer to be left alone and not have people around.

 

I don’t like to travel.  No interest in seeing sites.  I go nowhere when on vacation.  
 

I don’t like trying new foods.  I like what I like and am happy.  Sometimes I will eat the exact same thing for dinner, for weeks on end.

 

 

You should've ended that post with a "dagnabbit!"

I can't stand cucumber, can't eat anything that has touched cucumber (thus ruling out many pre-prepared salads). Seems like an inoffensive veg right? Mostly water, and I like water, guzzle the stuff in summer. Then I saw something, might have been QI that said some people have a gene that makes cucumber taste revolting. Who knew?

 

This isn't the only unusual thing about me, but how many pages can I fill?

Can’t really put my finger on it you know.

Maybe its because it still feels quite traditional and accessible. Grace Road for example is a treat to visit as its so unspoilt by big business etc.

Depends what you mean as offal, I guess.

 

"Beef offal includes the stomachs, tripe, or large stomach, brains, heart, liver, tongue, and kidneys. For young beef, or veal, a number of additional parts, such as spinal marrow, trotters (feet), mesentery, and the sweetbread, are counted among the variety meats".

Had veal liver tonight.

 

I like tripe and tongue, it's popular in Italy and Bulgaria where I've lived, but not here unfortunately. 

 

Had brain in Bulgaria but even I had to draw the line there.

For me, it's just the mess during and after that gets frustrating - especially after trying to be careful in not making any..

Been a teacher for 14 years, pretty successfully and progressed to a senior role.....I don't think I've ever really enjoyed teaching that much. I just started it as a career and have stuck with it ever since.

[Benguin]

I love cooking, cleaning, washing up, looking after my kid. I don’t like going out but force myself to for the sake of my wife and social conventions. 
 

I have a relatively well paid job but my dream would be to sack it in and take a job as a kitchen porter or cleaner. I think one day I will probably do that.
