Phlip Phlop’s chicken allergy isn’t something new! Without wishing to dismiss those who have genuine allergies (which can be very serious) or intolerances which can be very debilitating, I do view his allergy list with a certain amount of scepticism. He does seem to have a raft of things he can’t/doesn’t/won’t eat. Nuts, citrus, chicken, dairy, egg whites are the ones that spring to mind. I’m sure there are other things across the whole spectrum of the edible world.
I don’t doubt that he was indulged, pandered to, pampered, cosseted and mollycoddled as a child and growing up. I also think he never developed a particularly broad palate, in terms of the food he was brought up with. The look of horror when presented with an artichoke was priceless, ditto asparagus: zero enthusiasm bordering on abject terror.
I developed into somewhat of a picky eater as a child, which is an absolute sin where I come from, so sometimes it was a full on battle of the wills with the adults. My main problem was dairy, as a toddler I used to wake up my mum 4 times a night to ask for the bottle. I would refuse it during the day, going as far as to making a disgusted face when presented with milk. She had a full time job and could no longer put up with a fussy toddler, so she stopped giving me the bottle during the night. In protest, I stopped having any raw dairy (no milk, no cheese, no sour cream, no yogurt) and by the time I was a young child I was disgusted by the smell of most dairy products (and we used to have fresh dairy products, our neighbours had cows and we used to buy produce from them). As an 8 year old I decided I should eat cheese to outcompete my cousin and I have started having dairy since. I still can't stomach and stand the smell of sour cream or yogurt, but if they're in a dish where their taste is not too overpowering, I can have them, and I straight up love produce like feta cheese and mozzarella.
There are some things to this day which I do not like which most people rave about (stake, for example, I don't particularly enjoy the texture and the iron-y taste) so I do think I have somewhat of an issue with my palate, could be autism spectrum related, but that hasn't stopped me from having a varied and non-restrictive diet - I've given all of this background story just to say, from one fussy eater to another, Snorty is being an absolute child. He claims he has this long list of ridiculous allergies, yet we see him indulge in said things on holidays while he has the poor sods in charge of the chateau meals pander to this madness.
the ‘then You’ll know how powerful I am’ comment is particularly funny.
