That's what living with Mrs PB is like. She's a bloody nightmare. I do all the cooking in our house and it's like dealing with a 5 year old.

'I don't like that'
Have you tried it'
'No but it looks funny'

I have to hide things or pretend they are something else so she will eat it.

The only food I have refused to at least try as an adult is gooseberries. I had a gooseberry fool as a child and was sick not long after. It may or may not have been that but it put me off them, I tried a gooseberry crumble a few years later and it made me feel like I was about to throw up again. My tastes may have changed but it's pretty much a phobia now.

Ironically, given a previous post of mine, I used to be like that with fish.

I had fish in Poland when I was a boy and I was sick as a dog with the result that I couldn't/wouldn't eat anything but tinned tuna for many years.

Eventually I was able to eat "special" fish ( breaded and cooked to order) from the BBQ in Corstorphine, but battered fish still made me queasy.

Now, I love it in any guise. Maybe you'll have a gooseberry renaissance 😁

PS My wife is the same as yours when it comes to experimenting with food. Infuriating.

Crispy Streaky

Soft Back Bacon

Perfect.

I don't get how/why others don't get that I don't like, or indeed even want to sample, eating something just because they happen to like it.

You like eating mussels?

Fine. Just don't do it anywhere near me. You like eating bogeys? Same applies.

And if you like picking bits of sweet corn out your **** to recycle I will find you repulsive.

In the same way I despise the cretins on I'm a "Celebrity" being feted for eating bugs, eyeballs and testicles.

And YES I would eat a gooseberry - but I wouldn't bore you all with a TV show about it (or harass you if you didn't fancy eating one too).

I think you may have taken taken things a touch too far there.

I still don't get it.

I love all fish, be it haddock, trout, prawns, mussels, octopus or squid etc etc.

I certainly prefer fish to steak, which is extremely hit or miss, in my experience.

I had sea bass last night. Pan fred skin side down in a little olive oil for 4 minutes, then turned and fried for a further 1 minute.

Simple, easy and delicious. I eat the crispy skin, but Mrs HR leaves hers so I get to pick on it.

I hope it was farmed. I just read that we shouldn't buy wild bass from January - March as the species is endangered and this is their reproduction season.

I didn't consider different types actually - I very rarely have streaky... There's maybe a crispiness exemption in there though.

Fair point raised by Scouse - streaky bacon is a different ball game. And often very nice when served in an all inclusive buffet

Perhaps I was a bit rash(er) with my statement.

But I stand by my opinion that generally speaking, bacon should be served soft... especially when in a roll!

I don't get folk that don't get that

As a child brought up as a buthers son, I used to eat hearts, kidney and liver regularly and enjoy it. Now I can't stand liver or kidney, hate the taste and texture of liver and the taste of kidney makes me want to puke.

Is eating Heart a Scouse thing? I’d never heard of it before, but I went out with a scouser and he ate it. Never tried it, but if it’s anything like Lucer and Kidneys, I don’t need to, both make me feel physically sick when I so much as look at them.

There's heart in haggis so it can't be that strong.

No I don't think so, lambs hearts are very good and have no strong taste like liver or kidney.

I think it’s the food you were brought up on. My gran lived with us when I was growing up and she was Greek. She practically lived in the kitchen and as kids we were used to eating loads of continental style food. As I said earlier in the thread I can’t eat fish, but it’s not through trying.
The thing I really can’t understand is people who go abroad and go to places serving British food and showing British tv shows. Stay in Britain if that’s what you like.

Not a huge fan after the time I thought they were onion rings... I love the idea of fish it's just that I often see it again later. Some of them I simply cannot tolerate

Same here my mum got them for us on holiday once and told us they were onion rings. Never touched one since.

Energy saving light bulbs.

You go into a dark room and turn on the light and wait for 3 hours, until there's enough light to make out some shapes that you don't bump into stuff. You're utterly screwed if you actually need the light for such things as reading or... seeing properly, however.

Useless things.

I get that they're important... But.
It's like the olden days. Every time I turn on the light in the front room, I hear Bob Crampsey's voice talking about the Stygian gloom.

The queensferry crossing (north bound)

Been over this bridge a few times over the last couple of weeks and I just don’t understand. I go on the same road as I always did, there’s no other roads I can see that are now cut off but i pop out at the new bridge. It’s like they’ve just built the new one and swapped places with the old one?!

I’m sure there’s a logical explanation but it’s messed with my head every time I’ve gone over it.

Better going LED, instant light at a fraction of the price for energy.

I'm loving what the advancement of LED technology has done for home lighting. There's some great designs to be had now.
