136. I love watermelon!

Wed Mar 24, 2021, 01:20 AM

Mar 2021

It's probably one of my favorite foods, but I love anything watery, like cucumbers, certain greens, etc.

I hate milk, cooked cereals, eggs if the yoke and white are separated (will eat omelets, quiche, fritatas if well cooked), tarragon, organ meats or any kind of pureed meat or seafood (pates, mousses, etc.), tuna salad. I'm sure I could think of a few more things, but generally I am pretty adventurous except when it comes to questionable animal products.
