Steak can be so much more than dry chewey leather.

That said, I really don't like seafood and I can't eat shellfish at all. I find it revolting, and this is after giving it a decade or so and trying again.

Fish, shellfish, seaweed, anything tasting like ocean. No exceptions. I am sad about this mildly because sushi looks like so much fun. I'd end up sticking to bento boxes and inari whenever I'd go out for Japanese. Mmmm... inari with creamy spicy sauce topped with avocado! I did just find out from a friend that most sushi places will do a substitution for the seaweed. He said to get some vegetarian rolls with 'soy wrap'. I'm going to investigate at a local place called Sushi O Sushi, which was recommended to me for its large vegetarian sushi selection. Too bad there is no steak tartare sushi. :]

I dislike bananas unless they are cooked into bread, cereal, cookies, etc or made into banana chips. If I get a smoothie from Jamba Juice I don't omit the banana... I figure it's good for me. As long as I can't taste it and I don't get any chunks I'm okay with consuming it. Fake banana flavor is disgusting. Come to think of it, so is fake lime flavor. Ewww. Oddly, I really like the Gerber banana cookies and rice cereal with banana. It's oddly soothing.

I hate it when I get a sandwich and it has stupid alfalfa sprouts on it. I can never pick all of the grossness off. Bean sprouts ruin chow mein for me. I'm there for the noodles, and getting something that is the same diameter as a noodle, but is smooth, crunchy, and watery just ruins it. I think these might be texture issues, but they really don't bring any flavor to the party. Blech. Though I did have a salad with some sunflower sprouts on top and that was all well and good. Maybe because the sunflower sprouts were more leafy and the stems were skinny so it seemed like normal salad stuff to me.

I have yet to find any dark chocolate that I like. I love me some milk chocolate. But dark chocolate seems like its bastard cousin that is only to be used when you want chocolate flavor in cooking with minimal sweetness added. I know a lot of people will disagree with me on this one. I am bummed because lately the Whole Foods chocolate section seems to be taken over by dark chocolate varieties. I'll probably end up trying some of the funkier things just for the hell of it, as long as the stuff isn't death dark, but I probably won't end up liking it.

Mmmmm take some mung beans or bean sprouts and fry them in a little oil with some salt and a dash of sugar.
YUM!

Bean sprouts rock! even more so when used in Chow Fun.

Mmmm chow fun.... especially the beef kind. I totally prefer this over chow mein, which is usually boring and greasy. But again, I pick the sprouts out of my chow fun. ;]~
