Freshly picked home grown veg and fruit is so much better, I agree. Our sweetcorn, last year, was sweeter than anything I had ever tried from the shop; carrots just burst with flavour; tomatoes make shop-bought ones taste watery ....
What do you not eat that therefore makes you "weird"?

Pizza, I just don't like the smell, the look, anything about it.
Mushy peas, they turned my stomach the first time I was given them in nursery when I was 4 and still do now.

Mushy peas,
Coffee,
custard,
Pork.
Fish roe, including caviar!
Curry..apart from a good korma,
Chill in anything...particularly chocolate..yeeuk!
I can't eat wheat, so that means bread, biscuits, pies etc are off the menu. I do miss those, particularly bread.

Pork meat of most types, including pork scratchings, which I used to love......except the very occasional slice or two of bacon.
Camping isn't camping without bacon, so I have it three or four times a year. A bacon sarnie was my secret guilty pleasure, but as I can no longer eat bread, its not a thing I do any more .
I was camping this weekend and I did make a bacon, tomato, red pepper, onion, and mushroom omelette for breakfast....gorgeous. but a lot of work for breakfast for one, when you want to get out and do stuff.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but you know there is lots of wheat flour alternatives and you seem adept at making stuff - I'm sure you could bake your own bread if you didn't want to go down the wheat free bread route.

Gluten free bread is awful, it really is. I bake, and I've tried every recipe out there.
It's not 'bread'. It'll make a sandwich, make toast, but it's not a good sandwich, it's not good toast.
I miss real bread.
I don't get this fixation folks have with loving bacon. The very smell of it makes me want to be sick.
There are claims that bacon is the one thing that brings vegetarians back to eating meat. Well, I haven't eaten meat in 40 years and I don't have any inclination to eat bacon. I know a heck of a lot of vegetarians and vegans and even those weird 'bacon bits' that are made from something vegan hold no appeal. We reckon they're made to appeal to the meat eaters doing the meatless Monday stuff.
I can truthfully say that I have never, ever, craved meat.
Fruit though ?
or bread ? even cheese, but not meat.
Just as well we're all different; that way there's something for all of us to eat

Yep, I agree. I had to go on a gluten free diet for about 6 months; the one thing that I missed above all else was a nice crusty loaf of bread. We (yes we!) managed to make pretty decent pastry and cakes etc. but bread was a real disappointment.
I'll be honest, bacon for me has to the right type. I cannot stand any with loads of white fat on it - lean and just verging on 'crispy' (but not dry) is how I like it. But I rarely bother with a fry-up if I'm camping especially if I'm journeying - there's far to much to get on with than making an issue out of breakfast (and the subsequent greasy clearing up). I can get back on the water, while the mist is still rising, an hour before the 'fry-up breakfast' brigade

Through cooking occasionally for my mum's gluten sensitive chum I discovered pupusas, a sort of savoury pancake cum muffin from El Salvador made with tortilla flour. They're actually quite good as long as you eat them straight off the griddle. Easy enough to make innawoods too.
It's foam, sorry, but it's foam. It is certainly among the best of the gluten frees, but it's not bread.
I like real bread. Hand made bread, bread you can get your teeth into, not stuff that dissolves in your soup.

Local stores seem to stock more and more oat bread which done properly is without gluten. I think almost all our bread is that. I like buckwheat based bread too, certainly very good as crepes or galettes.
I have a decent oat bread recipe, but it's like rye, y'know ? It's dense, but it lacks that essential chew of good wheat bread. I do like oats in or on my bread though.
Like Woody-girl, I manage, and I do occasionally indulge in good bread, but the body gives me hell for it if I do it much
I eat a lot of oatcakes, the Scottish cracker type ones, instead. Not fond of rice cakes, nearest thing to biting into a sheet of polystyrene that I can imagine, but corn thins are okay. Kind of like crunchy firmly squished popcorn, iimmc ?

Ooo, I tell you what I don't like (and what's been mentioned on here a few times) - a fry up.
I can't abide fried food.
Not for health reasons (although that's fair enough) I just don't like fried food.
Stir fry, yes.
But deep fried or sizzling in a pan with an inch of oil...no.
Eggs have to be poached, bacon (and sausages) grilled.
I can't abide fry ups. Hate the smell. Hate the look as well. Hate greasy food in general - it makes me feel dirty, and not in the good way.

Goes for most veggies. They must not be thoroughly cooked but left with some crunch in them.
.... yeh, but if you're feeling a bit fuzzy then pouring a stick of it into your gob, a quick mouthful of water, swoosh about and swallow, kinda gets you getting on again. .
