For a full sit-down dinner with several guests, would you rather be the one cooking or do you prefer to just show up and eat?

Who wants to do all the work when you can have it done for you? Just give me a seat at the table and tell me when to show up!

What food did you despise as a child but now really enjoy?

Hmm, this is a tough one. There's lots of food I apparently loved as a child but which I now find disgusting (it's a long, long list, so let's keep it snappy and just say 'most vegetables, except potatoes').

The other way round, however, is a different story. I guess I didn't like the idea of curry when I was a child, but I've loved it since my teens. Ditto for pasta dishes (though if they've got mushrooms or sea meat in them, no thanks).

And I guess cold meat in sandwiches is another one. I used to be revolted by the idea of it, maybe because this one time I was eating a chicken sandwich at the beach and some sand got in it, and (in a possibly unrelated incident later that day) I threw up. Yuck.

But I changed my mind a few years ago when I ate a meat sandwich on a flight home from somewhere, and I actually enjoyed it! These days I rarely have a sandwich without some form of chicken or turkey in it.

Other than that, though, I can't think of anything else.

Man, I'm fussy about food.
