   I love toast, I have it nearly everyday. My favorite bread is Cascade Pride Five Seed bread, toasted with cinnamon and sugar is wonderful. Toasted with butter and peanut butter is wonderful also. I like soup and stew; cookies and crackers. I hate seafood!! don’t just dislike, hate it! Everyone else in the family loves it, in all its fishy glory,ick!
   Yes I have The Courtesan’s Wager, it is in my TBR pile which is getting huge. I don’t like homework cutting into my reading time. What was I thinking going back to school???

   I hate herrings. The rest of my family think that I am nuts but I can’t fathom eating them. I love a good soup, I will eat stew but I’m not fussed on it. I also love cookies AND crackers. I also love toast. Especially a lovely couple of pieces of sour dough bread lightly toasted and lightly coated with either butter or a butter blend. Yum!!! I believe that I am going to LOVE your book when I get my hands on it Claudia.

   I’m a very picky eater. Drove my poor mom crazy.

   Won’t eat eggplant, anything with too many spices like Indian food, tea (my family owns tea fields so shame on me ), most seafood, wine (although I found one in Italy that I liked), beer…

4. Archer on 02 Apr 2010 at 5:05 am #

   …but even my picky self can’t say anything negative about Courtesan’s Wager

5. Buffie on 02 Apr 2010 at 5:15 am #

   I’m with you Claudia (or shall I say long lost sister :0 ) How can anyone, let alone kids, not like toast!!??!! It’s a staple. My kids love it. In fact, my kids love bread. Any kind of bread. And my youngest will eat it plain. I have to at least have some butter or jam on it.

   The one thing that I don’t eat that always seems to raise eyebrows is CHOCOLATE. Yep, you read the right. I stopped eating chocolate for medical reasons 4 years ago. While I used just love it, it really wasn’t hard giving it up.

6. Buffie on 02 Apr 2010 at 5:15 am #

   Archer — I’m with you on seafood. I can eat fish and that’s it. Nothing else taste good to me.

7. cail on 02 Apr 2010 at 5:36 am #

   I love toast and the Courtesan’s Wager, which I have in Trade PB (and I think I got at RWA and is signed by you.)

   I can’t think of anything off the top of my head that people don’t like, although people who don’t like chocolate are crazy to me. Apparently as a child I wasn’t a fan of chocolate chip cookies. My grandma told my mother ‘What kind of child doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies.” I figured out the way of things pretty quickly. I love cookies now .

   Buffie and Archer, I adore seafood. Except shrimp. But give me lobster, scallops, and oysters any day…

8. Michelle B on 02 Apr 2010 at 5:39 am #

   There aren’t many foods I don’t like. I’ll eat stew, but not by choice. I love soup. Cookies! I can’t believe you don’t like cookies. Yes, I love homemade cookies. Peanut butter is my favorite. What I really don’t like is Curry food, way too spicy hot for me. We were at a small dinner party, 6 of us, being given by some British friends. They served their beloved Curry meal. I think I had 4 glasses of water and choked it down to be polite. Eyes watering.

   I’ll be getting TCW soon, Claudia. Looking forward to the story.

9. Kathy on 02 Apr 2010 at 5:41 am #

   I love toast! my cat likes toast. well she likes to lick the butter OFF the toast.
   
   when I had a cold my mommy used to make homemade egg nog and cut my toast in long strips for dipping. mmmmmm
   I don’t like fish. I’ll eat the occasional tuna sandwich, oh every few yrs or so, but that is pretty much it. I don’t even like to swim with the fishes.

10. Karen Rose on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:00 am #

    No bananas. Can’t stand the smell of them. Can’t stand to eat any fruit that comes into contact with them in the bowl. The banana-ny-iss seeps into the apples and pears and I can taste it.

    Most people like bananas, but they make me sick. Ick.

    As for soup, if it’s a good one, I like soup. Stew’s okay. I still remember the best soup I ever had, a cream of crab soup with sherry at this wonderful place in Annapolis, MD. Of course it might have had something to do with the fact that it was my 19th bday and I knew Mr. R had an engagement ring in his pocket.

    Claudia, I do like toast. Cinnamon toast is the best. It’s like a sweet treat.

11. donna ann on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:22 am #

    I don’t do coffee — I don’t drink it, I don’t like coffee flavored things, can’t stand the smell of it (not of it brewing or the grounds or any part of it), If I’m caught off guard or not feeling well, the smell of it can make me gag, I can’t understand how people can think it’s such a great smell even if they don’t drink it.

12. Robin/RBL on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:23 am #

    I like toast. I like soup sometimes, stew sometimes (beef stew over rice is awesome!), cookies I love all the time.

    I think my favorite thing is potatos. French fries baked in the oven, fried potatoes with eggs and toast for breakfast or dinner. Mashed potatos, potato salad, boiled potatos, baked potatos. Any potato. I’ll even eat a sweet potato if it has marshmellows and brown sugar and stuff on it.

    MichelleB, I don’t like curry either. Can’t stand the smell.

    I don’t like lamb or veal either.

    My dh eats something called ‘potted meat’. It is so gross I can’t even explain. Once I was eating some brocolli and he had never tried it, not once in his life. So I asked him one day to have a bite to try and he asked me to have a bite of his potted meat cracker. So we did. I could barely get it down. EWwwww! He now eats brocolli all the time and loves it, so it wasn’t a total waste for me, but that one bite was gross.

    The Courteseans Wager sounds delightful. I bet it would go good with some potatos!

13. LoriHandeland on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:29 am #

    I don’t like cookies either and neither do my kids. My mom brings cookies over every year for Christmas and we’ll eat a few and then “eh.”

    LOVE toast, but wheat for me. And crackers IN my soup.

    And I’ve been praising and adoring the Courtesan’s Wager since I snatched my copy the first time around. Brilliant!

14. Kathy on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:33 am #

    I have yet to read that book, that is why I didn’t say anything about it!

    I love cookies and mmmm, I just popped 2 doz choc chip muffins into my sister’s oven.
    It’s nice to visit and use her ‘putor!

15. ladydawgfan on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:35 am #

    I’m not a picky eater, but there are a couple of things that I cannot stomach even the smell of – beer and milk. YUCK!!! I am highly lactose intolerant and haven’t had a glass of milk since I was 10 and it made me physically ill, and that may have something to do with my aversion to milk. But the beer think is not just physical – it is a true disgust. The stuff is just gross, from the smell on down!!!

16. ladydawgfan on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:38 am #

    BTW, I love toast, soup, and cookies, and I can’t wait to pick up your book this weekend. I know it is going to follow the trend of your past books and be just FABULOUS!!!!!

17. Karen Rose on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:49 am #

    Oh, jeez, I missed the line about the Courtesan’s Wager! I was busy thinking about toast!

    I bought Wager the first time round. Loved it!

    I’m glad other people can’t stand the smell of curry. I hate that, too, but I think there is a negative memory association there. Mr. R and I were doing an art project with our 5 yr old children’s church group (waaaay back in the day before we were married). The idea was “Spice Art.” We’d let the kids make a design with glue and sprinkle nice smelling spices like cinnamon and nutmeg on the glue. It was for Mother’s Day or something.

    Unfortunately a tin of curry got mixed in with the cinnamon and nutmeg. One enterprising child dumped the entire tin on his glue. SO MUCH CURRY. Smelled it on my hands for days. I can’t walk into a restaurant that serves curried food now. Makes me sick.

    This is also why I hate rye bread. (Lord, I am picky.) In college organic chem lab, we distilled carraway seeds into carvone. For days I smelled stewing carraway. Turned me off the smell of rye forevah.

    I have a very small nose, but it be a powerful one.

18. Pesky on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:52 am #

    To the Bombshell formerly known as Claudia Dain, of course The Courtesian’s Wager is wonderful…it’s not only wonderful it’s marvelous! I rushed out to get it and KH’s Lois Lane.

    As to food:

    Can’t eat meat I haven’t prepared myself. Why? Because if I get a piece of tendon it starts the gag reflex and I throw up. Nothing I can do. Happens to my brother too. Globs of fat in the meat do it too. It’s a consistency thing. If I try and do the don’t breath and swallow thing…same result. If I order meat, I ask for it extreamly well done which will kill the consistency thing, but also kills the taste. So…I eat a lot of salad and pasta out. Pasta without chicken in it, which is not as easy to find as you would think.

    I don’t mind that I have this little idiotsyncracy…I would like if people would withhold commenting on it. “Oh, are you a vegetarian?” “I know I’ve seen you eat meat when you throw a party.” “Try it Pesky, I didn’t taste any tendon.” “I don’t leave tendon when I prepare meat.” Maybe you don’t, but I don’t like throwing up in public.

    I sometimes will order ribs if I’m up to pulling all my meat apart, but people comment on that as well.

19. Pesky on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:53 am #

    BTW, Walmart has had both your and Karen’s books out a week early up by us to extra bonus.

20. Freedom Writer on 02 Apr 2010 at 6:57 am #

    I like toast, and stew, and soup, and cookies (homemade and store bought) and crackers. Let’s face it I like food in general. There is, however, a food that most of my family loves that I won’t eat. I don’t like Pecan Pie. Pecan Pie? How can anyone not love Pecan Pie? I don’t know why I don’t like Pecan Pie. It has all my favorite things like pecans, pie crust, sugar and more sugar, but I just can’t eat it.

    Claudia, The Courtesan Wager is fabulous. How could anyone not love The Courtesan Wager.

21. Judy F on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:04 am #

    Karen Rose you are my twin. I hate banana’s the smell alone makes me ill. I can’t even be at a table when someone is eating one. eh. My family makes fun of me that if I see them in a fruit salad of any kind I won’t eat the salad. THose banana’s spread their smell.

    I like toast, cookies too. Soup is ok but its more like something I eat if I don’t feel good.

    I can’t stand watermellon and the like. The smell just gets to me.

    I love ice cream can eat it year round.

    I must check out your book Claudia

22. Freshechelle on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:15 am #

    Toast rocks! A friend is so into toast he was a slice for Halloween. There’s a breakfast eatery chain called Toast.

    Cookies rock but I’m doing that no excessive sweets thing with the goddess side group so it’s sugar free cookies for me.

    The Courtesan’s Wager rocks! I’m sure I’ll still think so after I’ve read it….

    Soup ro….. eh, it’s ok but not into all the veggies in it. I’ll stick with the simple liquid stuff but only at home. I’d never pay for it because it’s a “stay in cold snow storm” food.

    Stew – the opposite of rocks – stew was the “you’re not leaving the table till you eat some” food of my childhood. Smelled like Alpo to me.

23. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:32 am #

    I’m SO glad to hear that there are other (normal) people in the world who love toast. I knew my kids were strange…

24. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:33 am #

    Eviqn, yes, what were you thinking going back to school? I’m very crabby about anything that cuts into my reading time.

25. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:35 am #

    KellyP, I’m so glad you brought up sour dough bread. I remember everyone raving about it, and I’d never had it before, took my first bite with delicious anticipation…and blech. It’s so SOUR. LOL One of the few breads I don’t care for. And I know I’m in the minority on that.

26. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:36 am #

    Archer, high five-ing you on the eggplant. Icky!

27. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:37 am #

    Buffie, I DON’T EAT CHOCOLATE EITHER!! We really are sisters through and through.

    Can I borrow a pair of earrings? *G*

28. Michelle B on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:38 am #

    Freshechelle, too funny the “you’re not leaving the table…” stew. My childhood “you’re not leaving the table…” food was liver. My Dad loved it and we had it once a month. Oh how I hated that meal! My own kids have never tasted liver, and I refuse to make it.

    I hated stew as a kid and called it “greasy soup”. Of course I didn’t like chocolate as a kid either, but got over that misconception as an adult. All those missed years of bliss!

29. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:39 am #

    Thanks for the sweet words about The Courtesan’s Wager, one and all!

30. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:39 am #

    Pesky, thanks for the newsflash about the books being in Walmart a week early. This is Important To Know.

31. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:41 am #

    MichelleB, LIVER! Double ick. My dad loved it, my mom hated it. Therefore we had liver about once a decade and no one had to eat it but my dad. My mom was so wonderful that way. *G*

32. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:42 am #

    I’m in and out of internet range today, fellow goddesses, so my responses will be sketchy. But my toast loving heart is with you ALWAYS.

    

33. Pesky on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:47 am #

    KH’s was definitely out the friday prior Claudia, if yours is supposed to be the 5th you’re a week ahead as well. Generally, our Walmart sticks to the release dates but the last two months there seemed to be a lot of “prior” releases.

34. KellyProellocks on 02 Apr 2010 at 7:56 am #

    Claudia, I love sour things! I will happily take a tea spoon and a lemon and dig into it and eat it like some ladies do grapefruit. Another thing I can not and will not eat is liver, I cut that up for my cats and that’s fine but I won’t eat it. I can barely handle kidney. I did try some pressed tongue once and thought it was ham until I asked. Talk about Bleh! I also will not eat rockmelon and really don’t like watermelon either. I pick that out of a fruit salad and pawn it off onto someone else.

35. SheridanLA on 02 Apr 2010 at 8:05 am #

    I don’t care for coffee and beer… though I have had a few beers that were ok (and it was Oktoberfest in Munich – when in Munich, ya know?) I don’t care for them at all.

    My HATE food is cilantro. It is the most disgusting weed on the planet to me. It makes me nauseous and burpy and I taste it for HOURS if I accidentally get some. blech!

    As for everything else, I don’t blanket hate any type of food… I don’t care for Pho much, but like other types of soups. I generally like stews and I like most crackers and I like most cookies. I like most seafoods, but there are some I am not as wild about..

    I have not had a chance to read Wager yet.. It has been a busy few weeks and I am behind on my reading (again.) BUT I did just download Kindle for Mac, so I can sneak in some reading at work during lunch, etc

36. elsiehogarth on 02 Apr 2010 at 8:07 am #

    Claudia, I already have the Courtesan’s Wager(trade size) but I have ordered the paperback release of it(4/6) along with How to Dazzle a Duke(6/1) to take along on vacation. When will the next Courtesan book be released?

    Love toast. I have to have it every morning with my tea or hot chocolate. I don’t feel right if I don’t have toast in the morning.

    Love cookies especially: ginger, molasses and shortbread.

    Love stews especially my Mom’s beef stew.

    Soups are ok but I only like: onion soup, minestrone, chicken vegetable, butternut squash and pea soup.
    My parents eat soup every day. They either eat it along with lunch or with their dinner. I like soup but not to eat it every day like they do.

37. Lisa H on 02 Apr 2010 at 8:13 am #

    Claudia, I love toast, soup, stew, cookies and crackers. (Are you sensing a trend?)

    Things I could live without: cake and ice cream, pies, any type of fruit dessert.

    Things I despise: raisens, bananas and ONIONS. If I accidently get an onion on anything I eat (raw) my entire day is ruined. I taste it all day, it burns my throat and I feel like I must brush my teeth 7 or 8 times. ONIONS are evil and come from Satan.

38. Lisa H on 02 Apr 2010 at 8:15 am #

    Oh and I also despise coconut and its flavorings.

39. Madeline Hunter on 02 Apr 2010 at 8:16 am #

    Ok, I will admit that I am not fond of cake. Normal cakes. The light fluffy kinds. I don’t like the frosting either. I will kill for mousse cakes, or any dense cake like flourless cakes. The normal cakes are meh to me.

    And to be honest, I am very picky about candy. I like certain kinds and won’t eat the others. Don’t buy me a chocolate “assortment” because none of the creams will get eaten (at least not by me, unless I teethe off the chocolate and leave the creams–which I would NEVER do. ahem.)

    I’m lukewarm about cookies too. Most of them I can pass by. A few I love. I’m with you on the soups, Claudia. I only like the kind that aren’t good for you, like bisques with all that cream. But they are so thick they aren’t a liquid, ya know? Actually with soup it is more a case of just not thinking about eating it. Often when I do anyway, I like it much more than I expected.

    And of course we love your book! Go, Claudia!

40. Madeline Hunter on 02 Apr 2010 at 8:19 am #

    Oh, I don’t eat lamb either. I think it has an aftertaste. I only had it once where I like it— an eastern European restaurant where they stewed it forever. I only ate it there because it was one of those “we pick the menu and you eat what we cook today” places. Which I have decided to avoid in the future.

41. Madeline Hunter on 02 Apr 2010 at 8:24 am #

    I also don’t eat beans. Of any kind. We can include lentils in that category although they are not beans. DH loves lima beans. I refuse to cook them, because they are right up there on my all time hate bean list. I think beans turn anything they are cooked with “beany”. It is the texture more than the taste. The one exception is chili. I can eat beans in chili. The spice and meat make it not so bad.

    Gee, do you think I may be procrastinating this morning? Killer deadline hanging over my head like a sword, so I guess I gotta go, but I would love to play here instead.

42. Lisa H on 02 Apr 2010 at 8:46 am #

    Madeline, even when procrastinating you do make great metaphors, “Killer deadline hanging over my head like a sword”

43. nancyg on 02 Apr 2010 at 8:57 am #

    My friends are all obsessed with sushi. Can’t stand it, won’t eat it. I prefer my food cooked, thank you very much.

    Not a huge fan of white wine. *Maybe* a pinot grigio in the heat of summer. I’m a red wine type of gal. But I don’t like merlot – pinot noir, cabernet & shiraz are all good.

    Love toast, especially French Toast for breakfast. Do your kids eat grilled cheese sandwiches (one of my all-time faves!)?

    My kids won’t eat – eggplant, tomatoes, or raisins. Neither will Mr. G – coincidence? I think not!

    My oldest daughter doesn’t like chicken…and we cook chicken in our house at least 3 times a week. I’ve made it about 1,001 different ways – think Forrest Gump, but substitute “chicken” for “shrimp”. She’ll eat it, but it’s not her favorite.

44. Janae on 02 Apr 2010 at 9:09 am #

    Even my dd, who has to be one of the pickiest eaters on the planet, eats toast. It’d be quicker to list the things that she does eat than what she doesn’t.

    Me, I can’t stand fish or seafood because of the smell. It has a smell even when it’s fresh, right out of the water. It absolutely turns my stomach.

    I can’t eat venison because it’s gamey. It smells funky cooking, and I haven’t eaten it since hs when I had it a friend’s house.

    No raisins either. They’re WAY too sweet. In fact, I’d say that I don’t really like super sweet foods.

45. Janae on 02 Apr 2010 at 9:13 am #

    Oh, and I don’t like sour dough bread. Gag!! My dh LOVES it, and so do both of my kids. My dd would eat an entire loaf by herself.

    My dd calls herself a fruitarian because ‘I only eat fruit and no vegetables, so I can’t be a vegetarian.’

46. nancyg on 02 Apr 2010 at 9:58 am #

    ok, you did it, Claudia! You put French Toast in my head, so my youngest daughter & I just made up a batch for breakfast… Actually, it was perfect, since it’s Good Friday & no meat eating allowed – just toast, fresh berries & powdered sugar.

    I need to go “visit” my treadmill now…………..(but SO worth it!)

47. Debra on 02 Apr 2010 at 10:17 am #

    I hate peas! They are mushy in the middle. I had to eat them as a child and just hated it, I used to sallow them whole so I wouldn’t have to chew them. When I turned 16 I told my mom I wasn’t eating them again. And I haven’t, I won’t even eat anything with them in it. I also hate the smell of bananas, I can eat them if it is a bread or cake, but not plain.

    Now I love toast, but it has to be lightly toasted not dark. As for cookies, bring them on! I also used to be a huge coke a cola fan, would drink 4 to 5 cans a day. But after chemo the coke just didn’t taste good anymore. I guess that was one was to brake a bad habit.

    Claudia, your book is in my TB pile, might pick it up after I finish The Chief by Monica McCarty.

48. Louisa Cornell on 02 Apr 2010 at 10:40 am #

    The Courtesan’s Wager is a fabulous book !!! I have it in the bigger form – what is it called? Trade paperback, I think? Anyway. I LOVE it!

    How can you not like something like toast? I love toast – cinnamon toast, toast and jam, you name it.

    I only like one kind of soup – Campbell’s Chicken Noodle – the original. Just noodles, broth and chicken. Don’t want veggies in my soup.

    I like cookies. I run a bakery so it is kind of a given. However, I don’t like plain old sugar cookies. Waste of my cookie eating time. If I am going to eat a cookie I want a cookie with substance – double chunk chocolate chip, mint stuffed oreos.

    I don’t like squash of any kind unless it is fried. I am a Southern girl who does not like grits. (Oh the horror!) Can’t stand ‘em. Love oatmeal, however.

    I don’t like coffee. I never drink it unless I am in New Orleans and can get real chickory coffee. I am strictly a tea drinker – hot or cold.

49. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 11:02 am #

    El, the next courtesan book is out July 1: Daring A Duke. Mass market original.

50. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 11:04 am #

    LisaH, I hate raisins too!! Always have. Those little boxes that used to go in my lunch box in elementary school. Blech. If I couldn’t give them away (and I usually couldn’t), I just tossed them.

51. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 11:05 am #

    LisaH, I also despise coconut!

52. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 11:06 am #

    Oh, Madeline, we have so much in common. I don’t like cake, or beans, or lamb–it has a very strange flavor and a definite after taste. I will only eat chili without beans, which means I’m basically eating spaghetti sauce out of a bowl. LOL

53. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 11:08 am #

    Debra, I only like baby peas since they’re too small to be mushy in the middle—the precise reason why I don’t like any other kind of pea.

    I could NEVER be a vegetarian since I like so few vegetables.

54. Claudia Dain on 02 Apr 2010 at 11:10 am #

    NancyG, my kids love french toast and grilled cheese—doctor up the ‘toast’ and they’re fine with it. But regular old toast? No.

    What is wrong with these children? Could they have been (gasp) switched at birth?

55. Kirsten on 02 Apr 2010 at 11:30 am #

    I hate peanuts and peanutbutter, anything that taste like peanuts really. People find it strange, “how can you not like it? Are you alergic??” No I’m not, but it’s not for me, thanks.

56. Julia London on 02 Apr 2010 at 11:57 am #

    I am one of those congenial dinner guests that will eat anything. I don’t have any strong dislikes except for things like tripe and liver. But if I were at the dessert buffet, I would choose cookies or brownies over anything else. If I were at soup kitchen, I’d choose stew over soup. And who doesn’t like toast?

57. Ann in IL on 02 Apr 2010 at 12:39 pm #

    My biggest food hate is pepper. Black, red, white, green, yellow……color doesn’t matter. Don’t try to sneak it in. I WILL find it. Nasty stuff. Especially green peppers. Too many places use them as a filler or garnish and the taste permeats everything. Extreme yuk. Also don’t like potato chips. They are like eating glass.

    I will eat a soft warm cookie. After they are cool or crunchy forget it.

    I am 58 years old and have never had a cup of coffee or tea. These beverages also fall into my extreme yuk category. Can’t stand milk unless it has a ton of chocolate mixed in.

58. Archer on 02 Apr 2010 at 2:32 pm #

    Buffie,

    When my dr told me I shouldn’t eat chocolate anymore (acid reflux) I cried lol
    I wish I could give it up as easily as you did. I found alternatives like chocolate ice cream instead of nutella doesn’t bother my stomach.

    I agree with Lisa and Claudia on the coconut, but for some strange reason I love products that are coconut scented and malibu rum

59. Archer on 02 Apr 2010 at 2:35 pm #

    Also totally agree with raisins and other dried fruits yuck. Ooh also figs. Having a fig desert is just wrong.

60. Archer on 02 Apr 2010 at 2:36 pm #

    * dessert

    I hate mayonnaise, which you know (which EVERYONE who knows me knows). Not keen on toast or stew, but I love soup and cookies and eggplant (though I also adore crackers–let’s face it, I just like food).

    But I am SO with you on the sourdough. My dad always talked about sourdough bread and how wonderful it was, and the first time I had it, I thought, “It’s sour. Why do people like bread that’s sour?” It really isn’t my favorite at all.

    The one I love that people tend to hate is anchovies. LOVE anchovies. On pizza, with cream cheese, on salad …. Just love it. My husband can’t even stand to have it in the same room with him. *G*

    Soup, soup, soup! I adore soup! I could it eat 3 times a day… in fact, when I was growing up I used to eat Campbell’s Veg soup for breakfast instead of cereal.

    I don’t like wild game of any kind, nor do I like sheep, lamb, or mutton. Now I have never met a vegetable I didn’t like, yes even okra and eggplant.
