Tonichelle--Chicken salad comes in many varieties. I like some, but I hate others. My mother loves them all and thinks I should (she suffers from the delusion that we love the exact same things...something that drives me crazy on a weekly basis). I make one at home with swiss cheese, light mayo, lemon pepper, a bit of garlic and dill relish that is very good. But the new fad of chicken salad full of fruit just grosses me out--grapes and apples do not belong in my sandwich.
I do not like pears. I think it is a texture thing. And I HATE canned fruit. Please stop ruining fruit.
I also hate raisins in other food. Do not ruin raisins by baking them into things. My mother loves raisin bread (so I must love it, too...) and constantly tries to feed it to me or give it to me. No, keep that.
My oddest food dislike has to be milk on cereal. Cereal is fine, if you do not sog it up by putting milk on it. This totally freaks out my husband.
