    Oh, apple! Same as eggplant and kiwi:

    They taste like pain.

    I always thought “an apple a day keeps the doctor away“ was something parents said because children would rather eat a painful fruit like a kiwi than visit a doctor. Turns out apples don’t taste like pain. I’m allergic to them. Like, all-variants-they-sell-in-local-supermarkets allergic.

      I used to be allergic to apples as well. Couldn’t have apples, peaches, cherries, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and a handful of other foods that I can’t remember. Went nearly a decade with allergic reactions. Then just a few years ago, it all went away. I can’t even begin to express how satisfying a perfectly ripe peach is, now that my mouth and throat doesn’t start to swell.

      If we’re putting bacon, sausages, cutlets, and ribs in the same category because “it’s all pig”. Then I want to make sure that bulb onions, shallots, scallions, and leeks are also counted as one thing because they’re all just onions.

      Look me in the eye and tell me that bulb onions and shallots are different but bacon and cutlets aren’t.
