Never really mentioned it before, just commented that i did not like okra and squash and a few others. I took Warren and Fred's comments as good natured ribbing and they did not bother me. Steve was obviously bothered by them and his experience may have been worse than mine. I was just trying to let him know he doesn't have to leave and that I understand and can relate to things that torture that others cannot understand. Having a traumatic experience involving food is one of those things that if you haven't experienced it, you really cannot understand. Having a wife who gets nauseous eating peas and eggs helped me to get over my mental hindrances as she likes leafy greens cooked, and I like eggs and peas. I can take the jokes now, but 10 years ago, I would have gotten upset. It took a few years of us "working together" for us both to be happy. I can have eggs and peas whenever I want, hers will not have it. If she wants to cook greens, I will have something else.
