What are some foods that you feel comfortable eating in your home, but they are also foods that you can't eat at restaurants?
Mayonnaise is one of mine. Whether it's on a ham sandwich or mixed in tuna fish or something, I'm fine if I am the one preparing it. But even the thought of eating a tuna fish sandwich from a restaurant is gross.
Also for some reason the thought of eating a steak from a restaurant makes me uncomfortable as well...even though I do eat it when my dad cooks them on the grill. Then again, I've never been the biggest fan of steaks, so...
The last one for me is milk - what's even weirder is I don't mind drinking chocolate milk at restaurants.
McDonald's mayonaisse for a long time would make me feel really sick. I actually had to go home one time after eating two Jr. Big Extra burgers with mayonaisse, because that's how sick it made me.
After that, I always asked for no mayonaisse on Mcburgers that had some, and usually ask for Big Mac sauce on them instead, which imo. makes them even better-tasting (although not any healthier)
I never eat at a buffet. I don't know who made it, who has served themselves, or if the food is kept at a constant temperature.....
I guess I have a bit of a phobia with those things...
Ever notice how something completely disgusting or inconceivable to eat, ie Monkey's Brains or Cat, is a "delicacy" somewhere?
While Chinese folks have been known to eat cats, the Americanized Chinese food would more than likely not include cat meat. As a matter of fact, I've seen where one Chinese resturant in America will accuse another of using cat meat as a way to drive off customers and eliminate competition.
But, ultimately, one person's pet is another person's lunch.
Whenever i have a chinese i always choose to have a take away rather than eat in the actual restuarant itself :) probably cos i cant use chopsticks lol

So true, in Hindi countries eating beef is inconceivable because the cow is sacred. And I had beef last on Saturday - damn nice it was too.
