I think it's a case specific deal. My buddy Joe, when sober, won't even acknowledge a girl that's not at least fairly attractive. Like 1980's Molly, he'd just blow her off.

Now, pump about 6 beers into Joe and he'd probably bang Lena Dunham on a pool table

My friend had a thing for Asian girls in high school and literally every Asian girl that walked by was "so hot" regardless of anything except for the fact that she was Asian. He'd see a really pretty girl (per the rest of our judgment) that was not Asian and be like "look at that pimple, she's not pretty" and we'd be like "PIMPLES ARE TEMPORARY"

Huh. Interesting -- and yes, I totally just talked the wife into deli sandwiches for dinner
- AllInForFlyers

Yes! Well done, sir!

I sort of wish I had your spirit of adventure. I can be a very picky eater at times and I often don't stray too far from a favorite.

People get grossed out by stuff but if you think of it in terms of "food" and not with a cultural bias it'll be easier to swallow (literally)

I used to have a small thing for Asians. Not so much anymore. My brother-in-law, on the other hand, loves everything to do with Japanese culture, including some pretty crazy Asian porn stuff.

I've never had a "thing" I've dated several races, religions and what have you. To me an attractive person is an attractive person. Black, White, Asian, Irish...

For me, I just have very sensitive taste buds and a very particular sense of smell. There's some popular sandwich at Flyers gaves, I think it has really sharp provolone or something, and it makes me gag whenever I smell it. Same with melted cheese, macaroni and cheese (well, melted cheese again), mayonaisse, etc. I'm just a very picky eater.

oh boy

True. My issue is more taste and texture than anything else.

It's weird, but I love strawberry ice cream and flavor, but am not a huge fan of strawberries. Same for bananas.

I love crazy stuff. There isn't enough of it in the US. I had to go to an expensive French restaurant to get bone marrow, duck heart and duck liver. They also had pig foot which I wanted to try.
- NickTheKid87

oh we have crazy stuff here

maybe not in the food department

oh boy

Thinking smoked turkey with pepperjack, a spicy mustard, oil, mayonnaise, a few onion slices and spinach, on wheat

Probably gonna have to toast that

Pepperjack, that's what I think it may be. It's either that or sharp provolone, it smells like a really smelly pile of poop and grease that's been baked in a high school football locker room for 6 weeks.

Absolutely -- who the hell eats strawberries?

Correspondingly: Who the hell doesn't like strawberry-banana smoothies?

The nose knows, but I don't think pepperjack has a discernible odor -- it's just Monterey jack with peppers, which is a pretty mild cheese

Strawberries are elite tier fruit, along with pineapple, blackberries, raspberries, kiwi, and mango

Just below those are blueberries, apples, bananas, and pomegranates

I love pretty much all fruits, really.

Okay. Maybe someone who attends Flyers' games can point out the sandwich in question.

I hope Akeson dumps the puck into the corner if he ever gets a breakaway.

Yeah, I'm a fruit guy (heeeeeeeellllllooooooooo!!!). Kiwis are basically just sour strawberries. Love em.

You want him to one-up Hartnell's breakaway pass?
