Quirky Food Habits

[Desdichado]

Me, too! Except that I also hate ketchup.

So do I. Blech. My wife used to put ketchup on tacos. She had to quit that right away; that was a condition I made before I'd even go out with her.

I blame a childhood spent in places like Iowa and whatnot. When she came back home to Texas, she got her act together and started using Pace Picante sauce exclusively.

Me, I'm a Cholula person with tacos now.

little pastel red blood cell shaped candies that come in a clear plastic roll and have a crunchy but not jaw breaking consistency...

While eating a roll (or five) of these this morning, I recalled and was momentarily bothered by the "red blood cell shaped" description. Then the sugar kicked in and all was right with the world.

Sadly, I still cant think of a better way to express the shape...

Heh, heh. That's a pretty good euphomism.

How about "short cylinders with a concavity on each side"?

"Corpuscle-shaped"
It's shorter and makes you sound smarter.

yeah, but I can spell red blood and cell all on the first try.

Depends on if you mean the American or British version. The American version is the one that looks like small disks with concave sides. The British version looks more like an M&M. Both are called Smarties.
