Looking forward to tea time and hopefully something edible :) Did I mention I'm picky when it comes to cold food?

Lol - what are you like!:D

Out of curiosity, where did your pickiness originate from - as a kid or as an adult?

No, there's a LOT more to Italian or French cuisine than that.

Still curious to know Justin's definition of it.

I don't think I have the energy to write a long list of blatantly Italian recipes, dude.

I think it originated from farmers growing food that tastes like shit until it is cooked. Seriously, I'd have to say it comes from when I was a kid. My mother had very simple tastes, and cooked accordingly. She could not even be in the same room as an onion or clove of garlic.

I got a bit better since I left home, one of my brothers completely got over it (a few years living in Belgium might have helped). These days he'll eat any old crap. My youngest brother is even worse than me.

Ah, so old habits die hard, eh?:)

My mum was quite different in that respect, which explains the way I am with food - and then I married Del!:D

Ugh! Arborio rice; little better than eating a rice pudding with some interesting mushrooms. :sofa:
