But there now, you see the important lesson? It _is_ possible to express
how one has a problem with certain foods without actually condemning the
food itself. Deep-fried cheese wrapped in bacon is not bad food, it just
makes me want to heave, etc. It is _my_ problem that it makes me want to
heave, etc., even though the fine cuisines of many proud nations have
some version of deep-fried cheese... .

Of course, the irony here is that if Elvis had eaten this and dropped a
few pounds, he might be alive today... ;  )

Here, now, let's practice our new skills. "Eggplant and frozen lima
beans are perfectly good food, it's just that I have a problem in which
they make me want to hea--..." Well, you get the idea...

Adamantius, who has just named about the only three or so foods on this
planet he truly, inherently dislikes
