Next you'll be trying peddle sushi to me as well? I'm cool with the BBQ (in fact it's a great idea) but don't go pushing your raw fish, seaweed and avocado on me. I'm old enough to know avocado isn't for me.
Commonly consumed things I can't/won't eat (since this thread is now WAY derailed )
Avocado (doesn't matter how it is)
Peanut butter
Mint anything (this includes toothpaste)
Cream cheese
Cottage cheese (it looks like something I won't mention--might taste fine, dunno-cause a memory smell reflex and ill leave it at that)
Not all inclusive of things I won't put in my mouth but a good start
I never have and never will like avocados. However, everything else on your list I like.
Peanut butter is eaten rarely, but once in awhile make a PB@J sandwich.
Fernwood's chocolate mints at Christmas time are mandatory. Girl Scout Thin Mints are my favorite GS cookie.
Cream Cheese on a Bagel almost every day for breakfast.
Cottage Cheese is a key ingredient in my favorite Lasagna.
As for Ensure, it's a protein drink. It was just about the only thing my dad could tolerate without becoming nauseated due to Chemo, the last six months of his life.
