    The cats turn their noses up at these.

    Ours won't eat canned cat food. Only tuna and kibble.

    I mainly feed my cat’s dry food.  I only use canned cat food just to get pills down my very old cat.  My smaller cat gets the food part of the can; while the old cat gets the “juice”.  With a bit of finagling, I turn the cat food into what I tell my old cat is “fish juice” twice a day.  I stir the pills (or, as I tell him, “extra fish”) into the “fish juice” and he’ll take his pills.  For the most part, it works.  Sometimes he’ll lick the bowl out down to the last molecule, other times he has to lick it off my finger (I’ve taught him that licking off fingers after “fish” is a must, so I have no problems there).

    Almond butter.  He doesn't like it, only peanut butter for him.

      Great topic, thanks for posting this question.

      Most of the sweets are just for me. My wife did not grow up eating candy and pastries, drinking lots of soda, so she never really developed a craving for them. She often passes up any offers of dessert foods and sodas.

      Being Asian, she is more prone to eat rice in any of the iterations where the average Westerner (me, for instance) eats bread.

      Certain processed foods. Once again, based on her upbringing and her culture, she is much more accustomed to natural foods and strays away from a lot of the fare that is more common to the modern American palate.

      Of course, she has now spent more than half her life in the US, so she does eat a lot of foods that are considered traditionally American or Western, but there are always exceptions, foods that she won’t touch at all.

      We are now empty nesters, so there are just the two of us living here in the house.

    The yoghurt is hers, though. It is evil, ever since I saw it under a microscope. All those spiral crawly things.

    You do know there are millions of those critters in your guts, right? They're actually essential for good digestion.

    Worcestershire sauce. I like it in scrambled eggs.

    I'll have to try that. Sounds good.

    That is different, I may give it a try.

    I gave this some consideration, but I don't think I'll try it. I like Worcestershire sauce (vegetarian), but it doesn't sound tasty on eggs to me.

    If it's vegetarian, it's not authentic Worcestershire sauce. The real stuff has anchovy in it - as a general rule I hate anchovies, but it's an essential ingredient in Holbrook's. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at August 26, 2022 8:55 PM MDT

    Yeah, I found out about anchovies in Worcestershire the hard way. Same for Ceasar dressing. Oh, well. Live and learn! 

    Thankfully the faux stuff is easy to find and tastes great on veggie burgers and mushrooms. A really nice umami flavor.

    I guess if they're hungry enough.

    She doesn't even like being around it when I am eating it.

    I'm sure! That looks completely disgusting. Possibly worse than wet/canned dog food! I'm surprised you don't have to eat it in the garage!

    I doubt it.  I am pretty mainstream when it comes to foods.  I think the only thing in my fridge that Randy wouldn't eat is mayo.

    Apparently not. A food fairy raided my refrigerator, more than once. Also has a piece of cloth I've been saving for many many moons.  I planned on doing something beautiful with it if I ever got settled. Grrrrrr

      What does a food fairy do, leave food in a kitchen, or take food from it?
