There are few foods that I will resolutely not eat. I'm a firm believer in trying anything once (in the food realm, nothing kinky) and there are even some foods that I have 'taught' myself to like. Olives, onions and tomatoes, stuff like that. I promise you this though - I WILL NEVER LET ANOTHER PEA PASS MY LIPS.
I have several reasons for this completely rational hatred, which are as follows:
They are squishy and feel gross in your mouth. Why would I want the sensation of thick, warm bogeys to be a feature in my mouth? You cough that stuff up man, don't EAT it voluntarily.
There are MILLIONS of them. I feel threatened by their multitude. Staring at me with their green, blank faces. Too intense for a meal time.
The shell situation. They get stuck in your teeth and pop like spots when you're eating them. Disgusting. Baked beans have a similar shell issue, however they at least have the good grace to be coated in a delicious sauce.
The sheer existence of MUSHY PEAS. I can think of nothing worse than ingesting this monstrosity. 'Mushy' is not an appealing word. It looks like radioactive sick. Why do people eat this???
They taste rank. The true crux of the matter. They taste like...a wet, powdery leaf. This makes sense in my head. There is definitely an element of powder to their consistency.
ALSO, that princess felt that pea under like a zillion mattresses. That's some supernatural shit right there, I'm steering clear.
