Five Minute Freewrite: not your onions

I was never a picky eater while growing up, and I was fortunate to have met different types of people. I have once met someone who has a similar dislike for a particular meal, but they had their own personal reasons, which were quite different from mine.

In my house, I prefer eating rice or beans to Eba, because when it comes to Eba, I often chew it rather than swallow it. Some people don't like the sight of seeing people chew Eba instead of swallowing it, but that's the only way I could eat it, so they don't have a choice.

Then I met a friend recently, and he does not like onions. The sight and taste of it often make him uncomfortable. I could always remember everything we requested for Indomie to be cooked outside. I would always ask the chef to add onions to mine, and when he would come to pick his meal, I would often tell him that it's not your onions, and he would immediately understand, leave it, and select the other meal.

I had to accommodate his preference for no onion, and I respected his choice and did not judge him for it.
