My wife thinks I'm nuts when I order sushi or a bucket of raw oysters!! 'course the dislike of my ordering raw oysters could be something else entirely:shrug: But give me sushi and a little wasabi or oysters and a little horseradish and tobasco and I'm a happy camper.
My brother used to work in a place that once a week would serve oysters raw or other wise for $.10 a piece. He had to shuck them. He used to get infuriated that was the day of the week I showed up and would order two or three dozen raw, and sit there and eat them as he shucked them.

True. One of my kids will eat anything and the other hardly likes anything. I always wondered about that when people say: "It all goes down the same hole anyway." Maybe so, but the problem is our taste buds before it goes down, so why on earth would that comment make an unwilling person want to eat a certain food combination??Just one of those things I always thought made very little sense.
I used to be like that. Me and my brother always wanted differant VERY select meals at meal times. Now for a good few years my mother was nice and made us our seperate meals and so on, until one day she snapped.....and decided that until we ate what we were given all we were getting was Pasta, Pasta and more Pasta without any source or anything. After a few weeks of eating Pasta and argueing I gave up and now eat absolutely anything and would like to become a Chef. My brother is a lot better but still slightly fussy.....:shrug:

Take a banana.. slice it through the skin length wise.. stuff in broken up hersheys chocolate bar or hersheys kisses, and a few mini marshmallows.. close skin together ..wrap in aluminum foil, bake either in the oven for 7 minutes .. keep an eye on it for bubbling through the foil at 350 degrees.. or on a grill .. eat like it is.. or add ice cream around it.. for an amazing banana split

Mmmmm. That banana split sounds delicious! I'll definitely have to try that.
Quote from MOB "...my mother was nice and made us our separate meals...."
I don't do that. Whatever I make is what's available, however, they can choose from that - which turns out to be very little variety for the fussy one! But it's her problem. It's only my job to offer a variety of good food. The rest is up to them. I actually told her last week that she will have to start forcing herself to eat certain things since it's getting ridiculous. She won't eat some things that she usually likes just because they are cooked differently! She loves chicken, but won't eat if cooked on the BBQ. Go figure. For lunches though, I do accomodate.

Go figure! 
Since this is the kitchen I'll give you all some tips that were sent to me for healthy eating
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it ... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop.
Q: Is beer or wine bad for me?
A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables. As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world into three categories: animal, mineral, and vegetable. We all know that beer and wine are not animal, and they are not on the periodic table of elements, so that only leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables.
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise
program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain ... Good.
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: You're not listening. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: What's the secret to healthy eating?
A: Thicker gravy.
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You
should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO ...... Cocoa beans ... another vegetable!
"It's the best feel good food around!"
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had
about food and diets. Have a cookie ... flour is a veggie! One more thing.
"When life hands you lemons, ask for a bottle of tequila and some salt."

that reminds me.. there's corn that needs to be shucked Seig..
I worked for one (Chef) for about three months in school.
I was done with him when would not taste the raw Meat seasoned for the ghoulash. I touched for texture, and smelt it for aroma or seasonings, he was very disappointed in me. I was trying to make a chef out of me, and I wanted to be an engineer. I cam to his notice when he was looking for a sharp knife and saw I was cutting veggies, he came and took my knife to use himself and then I went and got another and put an edge on that one. Heck if they want to pay me to put edges on blades then so be it
