sunflower - thats awful
mrsmoo - I used to get the stuff about plenty of starving children who would love your tea, well fetch me some brown paper and I will parcel it up . I still can't eat if someone is getting upset. Even someone shouting on the tv makes my throat go and that is that, and I always struggle to eat with an audience. My boys understand they have to eat enough balance and calories, and that I expect them to try things but I will not nag or shout at them to eat. DS2 is a nightmare - he eats chocolate, cucumber and croissants. He does have vitamin tablets, but what he won't do is grow up remembering being shouted at to eat.

My DS1 on the other hand is a foodie of the future - he makes me watch river cottage and likes to try new flavours which is great. MG he would love your menu for the week. Not a fan of meat but he loves pulses.

That said I have made bara brith for my work breakfasts, fresh yeast bread, and roasted cobnuts today, plus sunday lunch for us all.

I dont like baked beans because of the texture, or pork pies because of the jelly

Thank goodness I've found someone else who doesn't like baked beans. My H is adamant I am a freak for this because "everybody likes baked beans" :rotfl: now I can tell him to shut it

Lol Dusty I will eat all of those on your list.....me texture issues are seeds and the like. I tomato flavour but cannot stand them raw :eek: I once peeled some to puree for DS when he was weaning and it made me gag just handling it.

Sunflower sorry you lost your purse xxx

MG enjoy the lack of full blown riots. Here in Brum the police vans were shot at at least 7 times.....but we don't have gun crime here of course <rolls eyes>

I can't stand baked beans either - things were tight when I was little and mum got upset if we didn't eat what she put on the table for us (took me a while to realise it was because there wasn't anything else and she was trying to stretch everything out), so I used to swallow them whole. I did it with all beans, including butter beans which my dad loved so we had occasionally. butter beans are MASSIVE to swallow if you are little!

It was only a couple of years ago when I eventually had to say to her, Mum I really don't like them. She was under the impression I did because I always ate them :rotfl:

I eat pretty much anything now, although we were brought up vegetarian. Which was pretty tricky in the 80s!

I have not eaten baked beans in over 45 years. I was forced to eat them twice a week at primary school. Not since!!

my ex hubby used to love them - he always had to buy the little tins and eat them in one sitting, as I couldn't stand seeing the cold ones in the fridge

The thing with beans is that they just make you f@rt... why is that?

What's the definition of beans on toast?

I hate baked beans with a passion.

MG, that is dreadful. Maybe they are planning on having a Jedward hairstyle and couldnt afford the hairspray. Hope the police arent too late arriving.

PC Very Handsome arrived to take statement - trouble is he was in my class when I did "why not to trust an eye witness statement memory seminar" at the training college.

Bit ironic having to take a statement from me - although in my defence all I gave him were my contemporaneous notes from when I was on the phone to the controller - cos I don't trust eye-witness statements either.

How weird MG - I consider my memory to be pretty poor, yet a few years ago I saw a man on the roof of the firework shop that was next door to my flat and gave the police such a good description that they were able to pick him up within a few minutes, despite me only seeing him for a matter of seconds!

What is the definition of fussy though? I have often wondered about that, because everyone has things they don't like for whatever reason - such as has been described tonight, but does not liking something that someone else likes make you fussy?
