    Yes. Diet soft drinks make me want to die so I can get rid of that putrid aftertaste.But medically speaking, no, I don't have any real restrictions. No allergies or anything.

    I was a vegetarian for eight years and then this past December, I decided that I wanted some fried chicken. I went to KFC (of all places, KFC) and got a bucket of chicken. I haven't looked back.

    No, sometimes I like the eyeballs hard boiled and bouncy and sometimes I like to pop them have them runny on the plate.

    imnotyoo - Of course it was KFC because the Colonel, with his wee beady eyes, puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly...I have cut out all caffeine from my diet to help prevent some heart palpitations I've been having. Other than that, I should probably eat better in general, but I don't.

    I try to watch how much sodium I eat. Family has a history of high blood pressure.

  9. notajayhawk (anonymous) says…

    Yes. When my stomach is full to capacity I have to stop eating.

  10. jumpin_catfish (anonymous) says…

    I am restricted to only yummie food!

  11. peachesncream (anonymous) says…

    yup restricted to NO FOOD

  12. redwaggoner (anonymous) says…

    Yeah! Being diabetic: NO sugar! (except when I hunger 4 a candy bar)

    No freaking brussel sprouts. Or squash. Or zucchini. We are talking the devil's vegetables.--Devon Masqua, transient, McLouthI thought transients didn't have hometowns. I thought they were just poor-man's hobos.

    I subsist on a healthy diet of Fruitloops.

    Harley~ That was great! I bought all those Kliban books back in the 70s--and now my kids look at them. Sadly, Kliban passed on some years back. I have to think he probably inspired Gary Larson and other more recent cartoonists.No food allergies or restrictions here... I have unusually low blood pressure and love salt. Docs don't want to speculate on my theory that my body craves salt to try to get that BP up to "normal." It's risen some over the years... it's no longer so low that I pass out when it's hot or when I've been swimming a bazillion laps. So I'll just keep salting those rare steaks and snacking on salted nuts or popcorn.

    Py - I will even admit that I had his cat posters...probably still do...somewhere.TOB - regarding transients, they should at least list several towns.

    Seems I've been eating a lot of crow lately.Others that post on LJW could/should probably do the same.

    Devon is only a transient because she is here for the Wak Fest and it would be so uncool to admit she was actually employed. Food restrictions: Sadly, I can't do caffeine. At all! Not even de-caf. (But sometimes you just gotta say "what the heck" and suck it up.) Coffee is just way too yum to do without. Oh! And I can't eat shellfish. Bummer.

    I watched that guy on the travel channel last night eat the still beating, raw heart of a snake in Viet Nam. Then his buddy had the raw gall bladder in a glass of alcohol. I don't reckon that's for me. Other than that, the only thing not on my plate are the organs from animals that people eat. Livers are for bait and ribeyes are for grills.

  20. consumer1 (anonymous) says…

    If it's nicely trimmed I will eat it. "Yes that is what I mean..."

  21. autie (anonymous) says…

    Thanks consumer. It has been a slow morning for me but now I'm lmao!!

  22. fleeba (anonymous) says…

    speaking of eggs, once I got my gall bladder removed, I can't do eggs anymore :( I miss my fried egg sandwiches. Other than that, I eat what I want :)

  23. conservativepunker (anonymous) says…

    Mushrooms. I don't eat fungus.

    See food, eat it.. I control problems with the proper application of Free State Beer.Wow, Adrienne, has a serious egg phobia. Could it have been to much "Green Eggs and Ham" as a kid? http://www.foodreference.com/html/art... " Let's take egg phobia, specifically the thinking that eggs not fully cooked, (such as eggs over easy), are dangerous because of salmonella. According to the US Department of Agriculture, one in 20,000 eggs will be contaminated with salmonella. If you're an average American and consume 180 eggs per year, it will take you 111 years to encounter a contaminated egg. But not all the eggs we eat are raw or partially cooked. We consume many fully cooked eggs such as omelets, hard-boiled, in quiche, in baked goods, and other preparations. So assuming that even half the eggs you eat each year are over easy, it will take 222 years to actually consume one contaminated egg whose bacteria was not destroyed from cooking. And even then, depending on the amount of salmonella in the egg, you may not even get sick. Your immune system will fend off small amounts. If your immune system is compromised by age, (the elderly and young children), pregnancy, certain medications, or medical illness, then all bets are off. But if not, when you start crunching the numbers, the issue begins to become absurd."======================================Scotch Eggs sound yummy!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_egg
