I was thinking to myself earlier that many people have dietary restrictions of SOME sort. Whether that be self-imposed or pre-determined. Plenty of people have allergies or take medications that don’t allow them to have certain foods, Grapefruit is (or was idk) not good for people on Blood Pressure medication I hear firsthand. Then there’s the religious exemptions, like avoiding Pork or alcohol or Beef. Then there’s also the ideological exemptions; Vegetarianism, Pescatarianism, Veganism, I could go on. TL;DR: Do you have a dietary restriction and if so, why?

    I’m allergic to a very popular fruit, and my allergy is fairly uncommon.

    I also hate cilantro because I have that gene that makes it taste like soap.

      I’ve only heard about it, never spoke to anyone who had it, do you taste it if it’s in tacos or something spicy? Dumb question probably but I’m embarrassingly curious about the answer

        If there’s enough of it, I can taste it. It’s still unpleasant but I’ve gotten used to it.

        Cilantro-soap gene haver here. For me, if you put just a bit on any dish, it is ruined.
