bananas... im like the OP, havent had one since i was a preschooler

but the main one- any form of seafood, including fish, fish fingers and tuna
i think i actually have a phobia of eating seafood... everything about it makes me sick to my stomach (appearance, smell etc)

i even had trouble swallowing fish oil tablets because of the word "fish"... like i used to gag after swallowing them because i knew it was fish.... so now when i take omega 3 tablets, i took the label off the bottle and it seems to help :)

not even tuna? or does fish not count lol
Nope. No seafood. From fish to sea cucumbers to shark-fin.

See, I'm pretty sure most of the things in the sea were designed to stay in the sea. And seafood seems to the only thing that is served looking almost exactly like it was when it was alive. Especially in Chinese restaurants.

Why does one have to go through the trouble of smashing the lobsters and crabs?Why do they not remove the eyes from the fish? Why don't they chop squids up so they look like chicken meat?

Lastly, mussels. God must've thought he was a genius putting a shell over 'em. Then we geniuses go down there and pick 'em up and open 'em up to eat anyway.
