Marty, there is a fantastic little Chinese restaurant near to my university, apparently it's the best in Belfast, they do a gorgeous garlic chicken meal with vegetables and rice. I think you would like it. We should go sometime.
Olives... the smell and enough to send me running. I have to tell restaurants/waiters that I'm allergic to them so that they arent anywhere on my plate. They literally make me vomit, I'm not trying to be gross. I guess that could count as an allergy of some sort though.
Olive update: Just opened a new jar of olives yesterday that's a different brand, same kind of olives (Kalamata is the district of Greece they must be from to be allowed to called them "Kalamata olives"). They are even better! Irresistable!!
