Sorry. Not a fan of flues. However, I will take some Spanish rice, Asian rice and fried rice from Hong Kong if it's being offered.

The next person is not adventurous enough to try fried alligator, stewed yak or roasted zebra.

I don't think the opportunity to try stewed yak or roasted zebra will ever present itself, so I guess you can say I dodged a bullet on that one. The same pretty much goes for fried alligator, although I would probably try it at least once.

The next person has weird food preferences.

Uhm, probably a bit, but not too extreme, I think.

The next person has at least one weird food preference.

I don’t think I ever had one, but I’ve had juices and Snapple with mango and I liked that, so probably, as l.ong as it wasn’t too thick.

The next person likes juice.

Never tried cranberry juice. I think there were cranberry on some oat cookies we had once, but that’s my only experience with them. I like grape in mixed juice.

The next person has thrown away food because for whatever it just wasn’t good (despite being something you like).

If the food had gone bad.

The next person has thrown away perfectly good food, and was made to feel guilty when they were told about the starving children in Africa.

Good grief, yes. My mother used to guilt me into eating vegetables, by saying that there were poor, starving children in Africa and here I was throwing away perfectly good food. But it did work eventually. Thanks, Mum. :wink:

You?

Yes and no. I have thrown away perfectly good food and I felt guilty about it because the food has once been alive and if we are to kill it for food it should at least be eaten, and preferably use as much of the body as possible (like skin for clothes etc). But manipulation like ‘think of the children in Africa’ has never worked on me. The moment anyone tried stuff like that on me they woke up the 3 year old in me who rejected the notion with stubborn ‘I don’t wanna and you can’t push me around’ attitude. I’ve always hated manipulation, even when I was little. It might have been effective if a name of child I knew was used though, like “Kenny’s family can’t afford anything extra this holiday” because that would bring it close at home, despite the means.

The next person can’t stand being manipulated.

More than almost anything else.

The next person is stubborn.

I certainly can be, and the more someone tries to push me, the more stubborn I get. I wonder though why I am stubborn for refusing something while they are not when they keep trying to persuade me into whatever it is they want. In my book not taking no for an answer isn’t good behavior, and one of the things that tick me off the most. That’s lack of respect.

The next person is careful with fire.
