lemme get this straight, she used to have a pet bee who liked eating straight ketchup? Also I have characters who like eating ketchup straight too. they don't usually do it, but they're entirely okay with it lol. but those kids are weird in every way
Fiyo is absolutely unhinged when it comes to food. He'll eat ANYTHING and it will usually be some random thing he picked up off the ground.
@Leyelle lol yeah I guess irl there are people who aren’t opposed to eating ketchup by itself so maybe it’s not the weirdest thing out there but it is pretty grody 
And technically it’s not a normal bee, they’re little weird Fae more than an actual bee. They’re in the shape of butter sticks.
Yes I realize how ridiculous the concept is 
@beebutterbee they don't happen to be edible and taste like honey butter do they? asking for a friend. it's not like I have any biscuits on hand or anything.
also yeah, it's odd to eat condiments straight, but not completely unheard of. I like eating straight maple almond butter lol
NOOO!!! lol do not consume the butter bees, they're actually fuzzy I feel like you could eat one but it would be like eating a mouse which is just kinda sad.
And I think alot of people do eat condiments by themselves unintentionally, usually with the knife or spoon they used to apply to whatever food. I do that with the honey I mix into my tea on the spoon 
Oh gross definitely not. food should not be fuzzy. and you probably shouldn't eat anything sentient.
i feel like this fits my series pretty well 
. Since my novel is set in the ocean the only source of food is to hunt dangerous sea creature. Imagine you fight for your life then have to loot the corpse of what you killed for food. doing this for the first time was definitely upsetting for Ryan who had no prior experience in this.
Since Essence has no taste in food whatsoever I'll just have to answer these for Dominic.
Dominic is willing to try most things. He won't be rude if he doesn't like them, but he finds Mint chocolate chip ice cream a little weird and chemically tasting. He doesn't like the texture of pineapple on pizza though he thinks it tastes fine, he also doesn't like the way it wets the dough. He's not opposed to wild game, but he doesn't have the stomach to go hunting as he's very mild generally and sensitive to blood, death, and the sound of gunshots.
He DOES like eating offals (hearts, livers etc) but it took him a while to get used to it. When he was little he didn't want to eat them but his older sister told him it would be selfish to the animals they eat to waste any part of them when they died for their sake.
He drinks alcohol occasionally, but only when he's going out with his friends. He likes fermented foods as well, some of which he and his sister make, and some which they buy from their local grocery store, especially kimchi.
He and his sister also cook fusion which some people are against saying it's an excuse to not cook either culture's food properly. They are big fans of soul food and taught themselves to cook it, though they are first gen Americans. (their parents immigrated to the U.S. from Vietnam as children and teens)
I will note however, that Essence has some foods she dislikes because of their textures. Feeling is currently the sense she feels the strongest and she doesn't care for okra and other slimy or mushy foods because of their textures
Holy Star (one of Kattar's friends) likes eating raw foods, but NOT raw animal products of any kind as he's vegan, which could also be considered controversial. He mostly eats a lot of uncooked vegetables, sprouted seeds and things like that.
Jinho dabbles in vegetarianism and typically prefers not to eat mammals, so things like raw beef are a no go for him, and he would never eat living foods as he considers it inhumane. Andrew eats meat but feels the same way about eating living foods. Jinho will eat raw eggs and fish though. Andrew is fine with raw fish but doesn't care for raw eggs, though he tries to be polite about it.
When it comes to spicy food, Jinho likes spicy things, Andrew doesn't have a high tolerance for heat, but will deal with it more often than he probably should because Jinho likes it. To Jinho's credit, he is very considerate, and doesn't make spicy things often since he doesn't want Andrew to suffer physical pain for his sake.
Pizza debate
Ozwald: he likes it, he thinks it is a good idea and he often orders it after he found out about the combination
Higen: hates it, he can't believe Ozwald would like something so evil as to pineapple on pizza he even thought he was possessed by a greater evil when he arrived home with one of them one day.
Mint chocolate.
both like it is probable on their top 5, I think it is Higen´s top 3 vanilla being his top 1, while Ozwald thinks is a solid 4th spot on his top 5 they both agree it is a good choice especially on a hot day.
New controversial food. How about Anchovies on Pizza?
Kattar thinks fish and cheese too not belong together. period. No questions asked. the exception might be cream cheese in sushi, but he barely thinks that cream cheese counts as cheese.
Alicia thinks it's just too salty.
The idea of fish and cheese together literally sickens Essence.
Dominic doesn't care for it either, but he could tolerate it without any adverse effects. still he questions why anyone eats that.
Ayla likes mint chocolate chip ice cream because she likes anything sweet, regardless of the other flavors involved. hence, barbecue pizza and pineapple pizza are also her favorite, and she likes putting ketchup or barbecue sauce on all her fried chicken, which might also be considered controversial.
(thanks to this little missy, some of Essence's clothes have been suspiciously "anointed" with saucy baby handprints.)
Shaun doesn't like Mint chocolate chip ice cream, but she'll eat it without complaining because her boyfriend does. She really likes pineapple pizza, but she just loves pizza in general. as long as it's done well, most pizza is fine with her.
Texas doesn't like Mint Chocolate chip ice cream and neither does Chili. They find it weirdly astringent. Pineapple pizza is something they will tolerate but they pick the pineapple off it and try to feed it to their cat, who also won't eat it.
In the realm of alcohol, Texas isn't old enough to drink and Chili doesn't care too very often. If he does, he usually chooses to sleep over at a friend's house so he doesn't come home tipsy.
ToV
Higen and Ozwald I think they both like them, I think Higen likes it a little bit more than Ozwald, I do believe Higen picks a piece of each topping and places them near the crust where there's more sauce and gets on big bite of everything
Hah! I literally just updated Ugh Not Again with my main girl Dola ordering Pineapple pizza, Fylson dreading it, and poor, sweet, clueless Eirlan having no idea what it was.
I think for mint chocolate chip ice cream; Fylson would like it because it would remind him of something he's had back in his world, Dola would hate it because she'd think mint shouldn't be frozen; it's overkill. Eirlan, again, would have no idea what it was and be convinced Fylson was trying to trick him into eating something gross.
Mora doesn't like mint chocolate chip ice cream because it smells fake to her. She has a very sensitive sense of smell and she can detect the chemicals used to make many extremely artificial foods, for that reason, she doesn't really like eating anything that isn't homemade at all. No pizza from pizza parlors either she hates eating at restaurants because she can often smell their restrooms and cleaning solutions and it makes her nauseous.
She does, however, like offals. A man her grandmother used to know hunted a lot, and he gave a portion of everything he caught to her and her grandmother, so she spent a lot of time eating wild game, including the organ meats.
Leander: Will eat pineapple on pizza, and tries to eat as many green foods as possible, therefore mint ice cream is the dream come true.
Stace: Thinks pineapple on pizza is horrible and should be illegal. He enjoys bland foods, and therefore prefers chocolate ice cream.
The cats will eat anything because... cats.
what? what? since when is chocolate ice cream bland?
Also, cats have a tendency to be pretty picky by nature, at least most cats
Mrs. George never eats anything artificial/not homemade, so she doesn't eat mint chocolate chip ice cream very often. She tried making it herself once, just to see how it would turn out, but she didn't care for it. She's made pineapple pizza once two, but pineapples are hard to come by in the supermarkets where she lives in Montana and the environment isn't write for her to grow them herself
Mora actually likes Anchovies on pizza. Probably because she loses so many minerals from sweating when she runs, she likes rather salty things, and she generally prefers savory foods as well, so Anchovy pizza is one of her faves
I guess this isn't more of a controversial food, but more of a weird food. Princess Arjana's favorite food is a grilled snake on a stick with a savory sauce. It's one of the staple dishes of her kingdom. It's the one time where she will eat with reckless abandon for manners.
S1
Morgan: loves pineapple pizza but hates mint chocolate ice-cream. she says the "chocolate" tastes like chalk.
Luther: loves mint chocolate ice cream, but hates pineapple pizza. he says that its a crime against pineapples.
(Luther and morgan often tease each other for these preferences)
GM: will happily eat pineapple pizza with mint chocolate ice-cream on top (almost entirely to upset people)
S2
Vincent: doesn't really care one way or the other, food is food. but if he had to choose, he'd pick the ice-cream.
Penelope: Wont touch any of it, to gross.
Mandy loves most flavors of pizza, but she's kind of a pizza connoisseur, who is very picky about what parlor makes what pizza the best way. One is best at pineapple pizza, another at pepperoni, another at anchovy, and she WILL change locations three times in one day to get the best versions of them all
This is 100% not what OP was intending when they said controversial foods, this isn't "liking pineapple on pizza" or anything like that. this is a whole other ballpark of controversial.
Just like with the punishment of Prometheus, several sinners, including some humans, in the torture levels of Hell have their organs harvested and grown back as their punishment.
Just because they are demons, doesn't mean that they let food go to waste, so several demons eat the harvested organs. And being the princess of Hell, Kno has definitely done this, and has likely eaten human flesh before
In the context of living in Hell, you could say that her controversial food opinion is that she much prefers hunting food than having it provided for her.
And because she is a diplomat of Heaven who constantly makes business trips to Hell, Esen-Ali probably has as well
