The other food I really can't eat is mint-flavored stuff. Fresh mint leaves are OK, if used sparingly, but I cannot stand mint candies or anything like that.

I feel that way about spearmint. I mean, I'm not wild about mint stuff, but I can eat altoids or a peppermint candy. However, my aversion to spearmint is such that I can't even talk to someone who is chewing spearmint gum, the smell makes me ill.

not your mom's socks.

Loves cilantro (sorry Sparky) and avocados. And peppers. Anything but okra.

I'm the same way about wintergreen!

I like to snag the peppermint pinwheel candies from the receptionist's desk at work and suck on them at home. My cat goes nuts when she hears the crinkle of the wrapping, because she loves the smell of the mint (she'll stick her nose right in front of my mouth for some big whiffs--if I let her, she'd stick her whole head in).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've never been able to tell the difference between the different kinds of mint candy flavors. They all just taste like ew to me.

My cat, Max, used to get stoned on Icy-Hot and Ben-Gay. I mean, seriously, kitty crack, writhing on the floor, tearing around the house in a frenzy, stoned.

If I delay washing my hair after swimming until I get home and the cat gets a chance to smell my chlorinated hair, she'll bury her nose in it and start chewing. She's done that when I've colored my hair, as well.

I just tell my cat "Don't lick my teeth."

I'm the same way about wintergreen!

Me too! Pepto Bysmol never helped me feel better - it would always make me worse. Shopping for tooth paste and mouth wash can be an ordeal trying to figure out what this year's code word for wintergreen is. One time at a health food store I was buying an all-natural tooth paste, and I had the owner of the store call the manufacturer to find out for sure what flavor it was. It was worth the effort, though, because it tastes good.
