I can't stand coffee. Can't stand the smell or color of it. Makes me gag.
Literally. Same for tira mi su, cappucino desserts, and anything "mocca"! I
flatly refuse to drink milk. Can't stand the smell or texture or taste. When
I rarely eat cereal, it's dry.
Eggs. <shivers> Don't get me started!

Oddly, my husband will have the occasional expresso or cappucino when we dine
out (but I refuse to kiss him afterwards), and my six year old LOVES coffee
(again, NO kissing!). I don't even want them breathing in my general
direction! All three men-in-my-life will drink a glass of milk with sweets
(yech!) or with tortilla chips (!) and on cereal. We go through 1.5 gallons
of milk/week. I don't drink a drop. All three are egg-crazy. Fried,
scrambled, boiled, poached, omeletted, you name it.

Why would I deny them these things because I hate them?

Not to me. Do they get to choose, or have you already made the choice FOR
them?
