Plantains
I have some proclivities about food that my family often comments on as being "odd". I am not sure "odd" is an appropriate term, but perhaps you can judge. Some of these things I have said before:
- I dislike fried foods. I especially dislike... even more... being around the COOKING of fried foods.
- I dislike "seared" meats. I especially dislike... even more.... being around the process of searing meats.
- I dislike shrimp in any form.
- I dislike plantains in any form (to me their odd mix of flavors and textures... of being akin to a very starchy banana is unappealing).
- I dislike cooked bananas (banana bread is an exception).
- I much prefer to eat cooked foods at room temperature or slightly warm..... never "hot off the grill". If served "hot" I typically wait until the food approaches room temperature before eating.
- I do not like to drink hot beverages.... but instead let them cool to room temperature (coffee, tea, mulled ciders, etc).
- In terms of meats, I most prefer turkey or chicken, then fish, and last would be beef.
- I have not eaten much pork for most of my life..... I do not really like bacon, I am not fond of ham...... but in the last 2-3 years I have found I have now developed a growing fondness for pork roast, "pulled pork" and pork chops.
- Compared to average consumption rates for folks, I tend to not eat a lot of meat.... currently, probably 2 or 3 meals a week have a meat component.
- I relish all forms of beans.... and probably have some form of beans nearly every day. Probably my FAVORITE beans would be the kidney bean, then the garbanzo bean, and then the pinto bean.
- I relish all forms of lentils.
- I really like Lima Beans.
- I cannot think of a vegetable I do not like (yes, I DO like okra).
- I tend to not eat many oranges..... not because of the flavor, which I like a lot.... but because oranges feel very acidic in my mouth.... but grapefruit does NOT feel acidic to me.... and I even more enjoy their flavor (grapefruit is by FAR, my favorite citrus fruit) and eat them quite frequently (at least 4 times a week).
- I really enjoy ALL melons..... but especially enjoy cantaloupe (we also call them musk melons).

I'm with you on some of these--I hate being around the frying of food although I do eat some of it. However, I dislike fried chicken which John finds strange. I also love all beans, including lima beans. However, I strongly dislike melons, especially cantaloupe. I can choke down watermelon if I have to but it's not enjoyable for me. Food likes and dislikes are interesting to me; I always wonder why so many people love a food that I hate and vice-versa.
Tastes are weird.Mine are probably close to opposite of yours. Beans and particularly lima beans are not favoured at all. Eating a lima bean is akin to eating a velvet curtain. Even at lunch, I eat a chewy bagel and Sue eats a different brand that is crispier. We had scrambled eggs tonight. I cook them properly,, after which she tends to burn and blacken hers.
