Picky eater
Sometime freshman year, I was in Brian Kekich's room, and the topic of food/eating came up. I let it be known that I was a picky eater and proceeded to make a list in order to prove my point. I added to it later and came up with a grand list of 124 items. Since then, and especially during my stay in France, foods dropped off the list. Does this somehow all mean that I've grown up, just a bit? I don't know, you decide...
Key to the Foods that I "didn't" like circa 2003 list:
Definitely like now at least in most contexts…
On the fence/like only in some contexts
Would be willing to try again (or for the first time)
