What can't you eat?

[sqbr]

Updated version

I thought about doing a poll (and may later) but people are so complicated decided it was easier just to ask. Partly out of curiousity, partly because having such extreme restrictions myself has made me want to be aware of other people's issues and cater to them where possible.

So: what can't you eat? I'm including moral choices and extreme taste preferences (ie you can't stand chili), but not anything where you'd rather not eat it but can put up with it if you have to, the operative word is can't.

So, mine:
I've gone back onto gluten (THANK GOD) but am otherwise being quite picky. So this is just where I'm at for now.

dairy eg milk, cheese, butter
coconut
soy protein or tofu, soy sauce and miso are ok
chili, paprika, red capsicum
alcohol
cocoa or cocoa butter, tea/coffee
artificial sweetners
too much acid (egfruits like plums and citrus, most fruit juices, salad dressing, preserved veggies and pickles, soft drink, vinegar)
spring onions/leek/watercress/chives
peppermint
too much fat (ie deepfried stuff)
mustard
kidney beans
raw apple/pear
most raw or undercooked vegetables except cucumber or lettuce
pine nuts
asparagus
xanthum gum or guar gum

Also some artificial chemicals disagree with me but apart from artificial sweetners I haven't been able to pin down which exactly, so I just avoid overly processed foods. Gluten free flour mixes are definitely all bad, I think it may be the xanthum gum.

The usual disclaimers apply.

beef for religious reasons NEVER MIND that i am being all WATCH ME BE NOT RELIGIOUS. it's still wrong to me. =/

there are things i don't like but i will still eat them [eggplant, bitter gourd etc]. i used to be allergic to prawns but grew out of that.

I read this article about people snacking on communion wafers and had a strong reaction of "OMG YOU'RE EATING JESUS FOR FUN"(*). It goes deep this stuff...

I have recently come around to the tastiness of eggplant when cooked correctly but won't try to convince you :D

(*)This reaction is theologically flawed for many different reasons

Nah, I realise that sometimes it tastes really goos. :) Mum tried the odd eggplant-in-yoghurt recipe that was delicious but she makes icky-eggplant-recipe more often. =/

Oh yeah, I couldn't get into eggplant or zucchini till I'd been out of home for a few years and the memories of mum's terrible ratatouille had softened.

That's like me with spinach. I thought it was the devil's food, but when not-my-mother cooks it, it's okay!
