But if you want to cook for me, or invite me to a restaurant that
specializes in just one thing, or invite me to dinner with a preset
menu, you need to know what I dislike:

   avocado
   eggplant, usually (there are occasional exceptions)
   hot pepper
   olives
   liver (even in trace quantities)
   stomach and intestine; other organ meats
   cooked tuna
   oysters
   egg yolk, if the taste is noticeable, except when boiled completely hard
   many strong cheeses, especially those with green fungus
   desserts that contain fruit or liqueur flavors
   sour fruits, such as grapefruit and many oranges
   beer
   coffee (though weak coffee flavor can be good in desserts)
   the taste of alcohol (so I don't drink anything stronger than wine)
