dairy. most especially cheese. I will never return to eating that ever. Although I am lactose intolerant, so are many of you... it's personal choice not to eat it.

meat. personal choice.

foods i really don't like? mmm, I really don't like raw sesame leaves, not even in 김밥. The texture just drives me nuts. I used to really like the 반찬 sesame leaves, but these days i think they smell just a tiny bit like an ashtray for some reason...

i had 비빔밥 a few too many times. regular 전주 style is something I will ALWAYS pass on. In a pinch i can eat it, though.

any kind of Indian food. Makes me puke every time. I've had it about 8 times and I've puked all times.


american?


Nah, not american. I'm French Canadian =p.

I've nothing against Indians. The food looks , smells and tastes delicious but 2 hours after I eat it I get the worst stomach ache and puke every single time. Perhaps I'm allergic to the spices? Maybe I was lucky enough to get food poisoning every single time I've eaten Indian food? I'm not sure whats going on.


Try making some vegetarian curry at home. Then you can see if it's the spice blend or not. If not, then you can make your own with meat that you carefully choose.


Nah , I'm good. I think i can live without Indian food honestly.
IT tastes good and all but i really don't care much for it. Not enough to go out and buy ingredients and make my own or figure out how to cook indian food.

I cook Korean and japanese curry though and its awesome.


Korean and Japanese curry? lol now that is something I could live without. Talk about tasteless curries! Don't get me wrong I will eat it as my gf makes it sometimes but flavour wise it is tasteless and to me every brand of Japanese curry tastes the same and Korean (ottogi) taste exactly the same as the Japanese one....boring zzzzzz!

There's nothing like a good Ruby Murray. Chicken Jalfrezi, garlic naan, poppadoms and some onion bahjis.

I found that a really easy lazy curry to make when I'm tired from work and riding my bike is to cook lentils in my rice cooker for 2 cycles, then add a mix of sauteed onion, tomato, garlic, and my curry spices. Sometimes you need to add more water as you cook it for the 3rd time. It's nothing fancy, but it's tasty and relatively easy.

I avoid dairy and sugar which I thought would be a breeze in an Asian country. I can't even find herbal tea that isn't already premixed with sugar. Trust Korea to screw even that up.

Seriously, what's up with that trifecta? I trained myself to eat grilled fish without heaving, but otherwise I have the exact same hated foods, olives, mushrooms, seafood. And I've heard of this from others before!
