I'm glad you posted this.
I'm no great cook by any stretch of the imagination but I kind of consider myself a little tiny bit of a foodie.
I have a deep appreciation for gourmet and unusual dishes.
I live alone with my toddler so I do the cooking but he LOVES to help me :)
My favorite dishes are meat pies, shrimp scampi, anything too garlicky or too ancient feeling :D
I cannot swallow tomatoes or cooked mushrooms. They make my stomach toss them...
My favorite cuisine is Indian. I also adore medieval European recipes because I'm a European history / culture fanatic. I also love pretty much all foods that have fun flavors and intention.
When I was pregnant I couldn't stand frozen foods. They made me ill. I could only cook fresh food for myself.
I once ate a spinach and chicken meal at a restaurant and threw it all up in the sink ewww. My husband at the time when I was pregnant loved fried rice and veggies and to this day the smell of that makes me sick.
My favorite fast food is tiny Mexican restaurants here in Arizona. I love to get the California burrito with lots of quacamole. Mmmm. I can overlook the tomato in the pico de gallo because it's so good.
Normally I hate Mexican food but those places are awesome.
As bad as I am, I am proud of the fact that I'm worse than I seem
