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.

There's nothing I *can't* eat, although dairy seems to have an annoying effect on my these past couple of years.

There's a couple of things I *won't* eat:

Baked beans, as they totally revolt me. The taste, texture and smell all make me want to vomit. I have zero idea why

Octopus. I decided years ago that these critters are just too intelligent for me to be comfortable eating them. Likewise I wouldn't eat gorilla, chimpanzee or orang-utan for much the same reason.

Now, if only octopus wasn't so damn tasty. :(

I probably shouldn't eat octopus (by my own moral reckoning), and don't do it very often, but well, they're tasty...I try to avoid pork for the same reason (plus apparently pig farming is extraspecially unsustainable) But again, tasty.

Baked beans used to really bother me, but I've found I don't mind them sparingly in toasted sandwiches with bacon. I tend to think it's not worth the bother though. (Plus, well, bacon=pig...)
