I'm thinking of never trying any new food again
Here's why; Recently I began eating green onions on my baked potatoes. For years I ate butter and salt on them. Then I discovered pepper. Now, here I am at the cabin, with just butter, salt and pepper. No green onions. Had I never started with them, I'd be thinking I was enjoying the potato at its full potential. But because I have no green onions.. that's not gonna happen.
Could you IMAGINE if I had no pepper on top of that? Fuck, I don't wanna know.
So I figure if I begin not trying new foods, and maintain very basic condement standards, there WILL be less dissapointment in my life.


da da do da da do da da da da daaaa da da da da da da
boowaaaaa ohhh waaa waaa boowaaaaa ohhh waaa waaa boowaaaaa ohhh waaa waaa
daa da

1. Makes sense to me
I have to have butter, cheese, and bacon bits on mine. No bacon bits? No tater!

2. I cried because I had no green onions
Then I met a man who had no feet.

Fucker didn't have any green onions either.

(I think that's an old Irish saying. Maybe it's Norwegian. Or Dutch.)

17. I came here cause I have no food in the city
Fucking poverty. I knew there'd be potatoes and some other things here... plus booze. So seeing as how I had $13 to my name I figured may as well spend it on gas.

11. The thing is, as a child....
I always saw any of my Dad's food choices as gross and he put pepper on EVERYTHING... so to me pepper was always gross, only started with it about three years ago.

Hey, I didn't even try sandwiches till I was 19

21. Cause when I was a kid all the other kids had sandwiches for lunch right
So, they all ate with their mouths open...it grossed me out.. all through school until high school I never ate lunch because of it.

27. You poor thing! I feel like making you a grilled cheese, or a pressed
panini, or a PB&J just to make up for all those years. :)

cream cheese we'll really mess up our Friend.

19. I can't do sour cream or cream cheese
Something about white mushy foods. No sour cream, no mayo, no cream cheese, no cool whip.

31. Too each his own then. I do have one quirk about foods...
I won't eat anything as long as it's trying to eat me. Once I kill it dead, it's munchies.
