    Have never ate anything from the sea, not even duluce. Actually I did last year was in a nice restraunt last year and the child hounded me to try a bit of her fish, I did try a bit smaller than a pea size. Wanted to throw up and I didn't even swallow it.
    20 mins later I did throw up about 3 * times.

    That is awful man. I couldn't live without fish. In fact, I just had a nice tin of squid with salad for my tea. Did you not eat it as a child?

    Celery because it has a negative nutritional effect on the body. The body uses more energy digesting it than the food itself provides.

    How can anyone say sweetcorn? It's sweet and delicious and amazing on the cob with salted butter melted on to it.

    Celery does not have a negative nutritional effect on the body.

    It's low in calories but it has plenty nutrients.

    Nope never not even a fish finger as I asked my ma and she said that i would never touch it. And I worked on the trawlers too. You might change your diet after a few of my stories about our lovely fresh fish from the sea.
    Love a bit of surf n turf mind. Nothing beats a meat feast bbq on the beach lol

    If you get as angry as I do about * like that, read the Angry Chef's blog.
    http://angry-chef.com/
    The amount of bollocks you read about food these days is frightening and everyone is on some fad or other. I needed to lose a few pounds so I cut down on beer, sweet drinks and cake and ate more fruit, fish and salads and exercise more. Amazingly, I lost some weight. Nobody needs to be hunting down emus for meatballs or sprouting millet.
    And don't get me started on the * who are 'intolerant' to things. Do ya die if you eat it? Is the pain unbearable? No? Shut up and eat it then, ya moaning * and leave the 'intolerance' to people who have genuine allergies.

    lettuce- in a BLT otherwise useless
    celery- in a soup with spuds otherwise useless
    cucumber- no redeeming features

    Your ma was too soft! One good thing about my upbringing was ya ate what was going or you didn't eat at all! It wasn't that we were short either, just my family always hated fussy eaters. It must be genetic.
    My uncle worked the trawlers for years, used to love when he would come home as he was some cook and generous with the salmon proceeds too! He ate the fish himself, so it must have been alright.
