   One of the worst smnells on the planet, to me -- but not as bad as my   
   neighbour apparently burning a 20-year-old rotted sturgeon corpse in her oven!   
   (I could  onlysurmise this was the meal, given the stench)   
      
   > My body rejects it immediately.   
      
   I can't even put it into my mouth -- just knowing it'll hit & how my tate   
   buds  will revolt is enough to make me work, hard to force my vomit urges down   
   over & over. . .   
      
   > One time as a wee kid it was served and I said I didn't like it.

   > hungry).   
      
   That was mine, too, but in m y formative years, learning obedience, I refused    
   tyo eat some thing (sweet potatoes) & was sent ot my room hunmgry to bed at    
   that moment.  I came down fr breakfast & there was my meal from the night    
   bhefore, at my place at the kitchen nook's table, still chilled from the    
   fridge.   
      
   My mom worked hard to make that meal & I'm going to get no other food until I    
   eat it.   
      
   > The ONLY way I can force it down, if at a party and they have pate, is to

   I would simply tell the host, "I'm sorry; I'm sure it's good, but I just   
   can't  eat it; I don't getr anaphylaxis, so it's not technically amn allergy   
   -- more a severe food intolerance." (only if they insist on quizzing me)   
      
   That generally stops the offense.   
      
   I'm an adult; I eat what I like & I like what I eat.   
      
   My wife cooks & I eat it, but she knows my intolerances & cooks accordingly,   
   so it's all good(VERY good, actially)! (plus I need to set the example for my   
   son)   
      
   She was happy with me for that, as her exes never did so -- complain,   
   complain, complain. . .   
      
   I asked why she kept cooking -- I'd've stopped after just one rudely   
   presented  display of attitude.   
      
   I do the cooking on ocdcasion, but I take into account everyone's preferences   
   & try not to stretch the envelope to much. . . I've negotiated to be able to   
   add  mild to medium spiciness to certain dishes (I like my skillet lasagna to   
   have a bit of a 'kick'!)
