Ick!

My plan to write about standardized testing all week has been put on the back burner.  Not only is today Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop, the daily testing posts were getting on my nerves.  They were supposed to be cathartic, but instead the posts were just pissing me off. 

Instead, a subject that is more fun…food!  I love to cook, I love to eat, but with that being said I’m a very picky eater.  I have a list of foods that I don’t care for at all and am not mature enough to “just eat them”.  But there is only one food (if you can call it that) that makes me physically ill…mayo!

I abhor mayonnaise.   Hate it!  I can’t taste it, look at, or even listen to it.  It is so incredibly foul, just thinking about it makes me gag.  I have literally felt this way since the womb.  The only time my mom had morning sickness when she was pregnant with me was when she spread mayo on bread while making sandwiches. 

Last week my friends wanted me to make a decision, a choice if you will.  What would I do if I had to eat a jar of mayonnaise every day or have a baby (equally as frightening)?  Even as they badgered me, I had to abstain from that choice.  A baby is a pretty big deal, and your life changes immensely.  But still, eating mayo every single day might be worse.  In fact, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

  1. I hate mayo too. I'm the worst when it comes to trying stuff. I won't! People insist that I'd like something if I just try it! My lifetime menu is full..I won't try new stuff unless it's a version of something I already like. An example would be chocolate. I'll try any new chocolate.

  2. I always loathed mayo when I was younger but now I like it in moderation on certain things, like a tomato sandwich. And that probably made you throw up in your mouth again, didn't it?!

  3. I know several people who hate mayo. They all think it is the nastiest thing in the world.

  5. That's one of our main food groups here in PA. In fact, it's probably our State Food. I can only assume that according to our waistlines.

  8. Uck here too...the only time I use mayo is when I make potato salad. Hmmm, question... mayo or STAR testing for a month?

  9. I only like mayo on my sandwiches. I could never eat it plain out of a jar. That is just gross!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

  10. Yes, but you forgot to leave out the part about the mayo baby that we're going to force you to raise.

  11. A mayo baby... LOL ... Mayo-by?Bayo?

    I suppose a Mayo-by would be concieved by combinging Miracle Whip with Whole Egg Mayo.

    Everytime it cries the sound is not tears and screaming, but the sound of mayo spreading, and the sound is projected through the house by a bunch of Mayo-by monitors.

  12. @M - easy choice...a month of STAR. It's annoying, but doesn't make me sick (well maybe mentally sick).

  15. I do know that you have certain foods you are not fond of, but had no idea you hated mayo so much. I find that interesting because I can't see what could possibly make you feel that way. What's not to love? It is creamy, silky smooth, mild in flavor and light in taste. I LOVE mayo, and except for the fact that it is bad for you, I like extra mayo on things. When I was little my mom put a spoonful of mayo on my salad and I loved it. GO MAYO !!!!!!!!!!

  17. If it ever boils down to those two choices then you should pick the baby 'cause eating a jar of mayo a day is not a good way to live.
