I told Anika that I'd compile a list of my dietary restrictions, avoidances, and preferences, and figured I might as well share.

Shout out to a fellow under-ripe banana eater! B does NOT understand why I buy bananas green and why, once they're bright yellow, it's too late for me to eat them. Hooray!

Maybe I will try making you a good chili one day.

I have started working towards having a totally vegetarian diet myself :) I used to be veg for about 3 years, then (for a number of reasons) went back to being an omni but...I feel like I should be veg so am working back towards that.

Oooh, this is so interesting to read! As you've asked me for my preferences I think I'll follow your basic template.

Never
Tomatoes. I don't know why, there's just... something about them. They would be at the top of my dislike list.
I also don't really like cucumber, mayonnaise or lettuce, so salads are usually out!
I'm allergic to bananas. Not hugely allergic. A house doesn't have to be banana-free for me to enter it, and I'm happy if people eat them around me, but I can't eat them. I get this reaction [itchy, sore throat] to some extent with quite a lot of fruits, oddly.
Custard, but that's not something I see very often so it rarely comes up!
Yoghurt, margarine, cream cheese.

Things I have no real interest in, but will have at someone's house, or if there is no other option
Coffee
Black/traditional Tea
Alcohol
Fizzy drinks
