Don't you hate those strawberry seeds, or whatever those black thingies are???? I love raspberries and blackberries, but I do hate the seeds.

Strawberry seeds are so tiny you don't even know they're there. Raspberries are different though. The seeds are larger and hard - crunchy. Can't stand them at all.

I don't mind blackberries though. The texture of blackberries is a little different.

OK the strawberry thread is officially airborne.

My son has an abundance of allergies. His allergist told us a long time ago that if he (or anyone) doesn't like a certain food, we should not force it on him. It is very likely that his body is telling him that he is allergic to it.

He hates peanut butter and/or peanuts. He's only tasted it twice in his life. Both times he spit it out without swallowing. Still he ended up with a severe allergic reaction both times. In fact, the second time, we had to have the Squad take him to the hospital. On the way they had to give him 3 shots of Epi. At the hospital they gave him Benedryl via IV, Ventolin in a nebulizer, oxygen, and MORE Epi.

Now he hates peas. When I talked to the allergist about it, it turns out that peas are in the same family as peanuts and if you are allergic to peanuts, it is highly likely that you will also be allergic to peas.

So, Sherri, who knows? Maybe you have some sort of allergy to strawberries and you don't even know about it because you hate them and so refuse to eat them.

I think we need a thread to find out what other foods people can't stomach. I HATE peas. And potatoes. And beans. I like green beans. But those things that are mushy - ewwww yuck!! Not eating those. No way. No how!

Ever tried a mangosteen???

I don't think there's any better fruit in the world!!!
