Peas
Me and my sister have a thing about peas for different reasons.

She wont eat them because she hates them, and spends ages picking them out of pot noodles and pea pakora before she'll eat the food.

I like peas and I eat them, except when they're in a pod. I also don't eat brocolli for the same reason: wee beasties.

Lucky that I'm a nibbler really. One day I was nibbling round the edges of the pea pod, pealed it open and was about to scoop all the peas out with my tongue when I realised a dead frozen caterpillar would get in the way.

Eating brocolli years later and my whole family find strange little brown things on the side and hidden in the brocolli branches. Turns out there were hundreds of beasties cacooning in our dinner.

Worse for my brother, who ate it all before we found out.
