Chinese Food?
March 8, 2005 – 1:25 pmTonight we’re having the weekly Southern MNSC meet at New Beijing. New Beijing is a Chinese restaurant owned by one of the MNSC members. He happens to give us a smoking deal on their Buffet and picks up the tab on desert for us. Since moving to the Minneapolis area I’ve been eating Chinese food at least once a week.
Of course, I’m being somewhat deceptive when I say Chinese food. I have this strange aversion to onions. It all started years ago when my Grandma used to try to sneak food I didn’t like into my meals. The example I tell people refers to the time she gave me shrimp and told me they were “chicken nuggets”. It’s funny, I don’t remember chicken nuggets having tails.
Anyways, since then I’ve developed a psychological barrier against lots of foods I hated back then. It’s interesting how the mind works because I can’t seem to get around it. Lots of people call me a picky eater, some people poke fun at me for not eating onions, but in all honesty I’ve tried these things time and time again and just can’t seem to get over it. I’m a big fan of challenging my will power and one of these days, I’ll get over onions too. Until then though I’m still looking forward to a steaming plate of sweet and sour chicken tonight.

Yeah, I remember one time watching you eat a soft-shelled taco and then spit out a gigantic chunk onto the tray because you thought you tasted lettuce.
That was kinda gross.
Enjoy your Chinese food. =)

Hey, I don’t like onions either. Or tomatoes for that matter. Picky? Hell yes. Have a problem with it? Hell no. Eat what you want yo and I love sweet and sour chicken too. Just watch out for the vegetables they throw in with it.
