The visit was notable for the waitress who was working the large party of 10 next to us getting a $.25 tip, and Grandpa ordering a ham quickie. Quiche was not a staple of the Cincinnati area, but I knew what it was because of it being a punch line in the mid-70's. My Dad was sitting next to him and he and I both looked over quickly when he said it. The waitress tried to hide her smile behind her order book so not to embarrass Grandpa. Dad started laughing, one of the hardest I'd ever seen him laugh. (Silver Streak and the St. Therese Orchestra were the two others.) Grandpa laughed along with him. He was that kind of guy.

Was the waitress good looking? He may have said "quickie" on purpose, the sly dog.

3) Eggs in any way, shape, or form.
4) Corned (Rotted) Beef
5) any supposed food made of any animal internal organs.


I will go with GH's list but substitute Mayonnaise instead of eggs. I don't think I know anyone that doesn't eat eggs. I think even Mikey likes 'em.

I don't ever eat eggs unless contained in some batter then baked somehow in a dessert.

I get Thai Fried Rice WITHOUT Eggs/Onions
I get Pad Thai with NO Eggs/Onions.

I also find Liverwurst/Braunsweiger DISGUSTING.
Brussels Sprouts are also HIDEOUS.
Sea Urchin in Sushi Rolls is about as tasty as eating a pizza topped with Burning Toenails and Ear Wax.
I would rather bite a bar of soap than the "foods" I have listed.

Favorite foods ?
Chateaubriand and Lobster.

I have a buddy that often goes with me to various casinos to play Poker.
He DELIBERATELY eats excessive amounts of Cheese, Cole Slaw, and Eggs before we go.
He uses the Stnky gas-passage at the table to annoy and distract other players.

Nah. I'm the inappropriate humor guy in our family, at least in public. I have no memory of what the waitress looked like. At 14 I think I'd have noticed if she was pretty.

And sardines. I can eat me some sardines, but generally prefer them just in oil, not with any of the other sauces one can get them in.

Octopus Ceviche is delicious. It must be made with FRESH octopus though

Canned fish in ANY way, shape, or form is DISGUSTING.
