Coco-nuts

Have you noticed that people either really really love coconut or they really really hate it? I am definitely one of the latter group-just the slightest taste makes me gag. I always check the ingredients for cookies to make sure they didn't sneak in any coconut.

The same goes for mushrooms; I detest them immensely and I have to scour the labels of soups before I buy them, just in case they are in there. I love Lean Cuisine's Glazed chicken entree, but there are a few mushrooms in it, so I have to pick them out oh so carefully before I can eat it.

My list of food dislikes is VERY long...I think my German-Irish peasant background is to blame. I certainly love potatoes and onions!
