    In college, people would come up to me and be like oh la de dah look at you with your pesto anchovy baguette you're sick. I have no problem no ham and cheese sambos either

    You're doing it wrong OP, you've combined the culinary delights of the bourgeoisie with the phallic monstrosity of the plebeians. You should have opted for ciabatta. Rookie mistake.

    Does everything in the English language have to be broken down into itty bitty little pieces for you to digest.

    Do you always have to make it appear as if someone holds opinions which they do not?
    The fact that the OP has to be so specific about a ham and tomato sandwich says enough about their perception of themselves.
    What are you on about?

    He just said that people think it's strange that he doesn't like ham and cheese sambos, here is the quote:

    Most people are grossed out as I eat all combinations of the above and think its strange that I don't like chicken curry or ham and cheese sambos.

    ..so quit putting words in his mouth.
    Like I said - I don't think anyone cares about his food choices, they're judging him for his pedantry, a bit like the way I'm judging you right now for your pedantry.
    I am not being pedantic at all.

    You very specifically accused him of thinking he was culutured to eat the foods which he eats, when he hadn't said, nor even implied, anything of the sort.

    I like foods such as basil pesto, olives, salmon, pate, anchovies, sun dried tomatoes, serrano ham, ox tongue and hummus.

    Are these supposed to be fancy foods? :confused: They might be mostly foreign but you can be sure many of them started out as peasant food.

    Your the fella who started the thread about auld women wearing Asics, yeah?

    I suppose winding people up on the internet is one way to pass the time on the weekends. Hobbies and spending time with friends are other fun ways to pass time as an f.y.i.

    Looking forward to your next installment. ;)

    I get funny looks in work most days eating lunch, I dont give a f*ck to be honest and leave them eat their buttered up bread rolls and crisps in peace.

    Anyone who thinks a crisp sandwich/roll is a credible lunch choice, must be missing a palate.

    Nothing wrong with a roll with a nice tasty filling. There's nothing out of the ordinary about any of the foods mentioned in the OP. One reason some people get strange looks is because packed lunches can smell depending on what it is, and that's pretty disgusting and irritating in an office space/lecture hall etc... You people know who you are.

    You made out so far that you think your friends think they're fancy foods, and then "I normally get ciabatta but they didn't have any that day". You really don't help your own case OP :D

    I find it's actually the opposite. People are surprised when they find out I'm vegetarian because I'm not skinny, pasty, effeminate, a hippie, nor do I judge other people by what they're eating. They've a preconceived notion in their brains of what a vegetarian is and are surprised when they find that no vegetarians are like that.

    Though I always find it interesting eating out in a nice restaurant. Waiters are always happy to discuss vegetarian with my wife, and will do so without blinking. Half the time they'll then turn to me with a little grin and say, "What about you sir, I'd recommend the steak". Invariably they are almost always shocked when I say I'm vegetarian too.

    I don't. Salt is a flavour-enhancer, if used right, and no, not just in cooking. Judging people on adding salt to food before tasting is just one those convenient superior complex touchstones.
